Up for sale is this 1978 F150 shortbed 4X4. It has Fords bulletproof 300 6cyl motor which starts and runs good (see oil pressure in pics) backed by a 4 speed trans. Power steering and brakes. Speedo shows 15xxx we are sure its at least 115xxx. The 4X4 with manual locking hubs works like it should. Nice looking truck that a previous owner told me was redone 10+ years ago. Here's what I can say about it now. There is a new(very recent) right front fender and front bumper on it. It must have had a little fender bender because there is no other damage apparent. However the new red paint on that fender makes the faded 10 year old paint look a little lame.There are some rust issues coming back in the bed and bottom of the doors. I took pics of the floor that had been redone and undercoated they look ok. New carpet new bumper new fender nice JVC radio and CD. NO a/c or power windows this is a mans truck. The power steering leaks but I put on a new P/S pump and bought an overhaul kit for the box but don't have time to install(it will come with the truck). I think this truck sat for a while before I got it, I've been driving it around and the brakes are spongy but do stop you. Here's your chance to buy one of Fords classic body style to use as a firewood getter, mud toy or restore a little at a time while driving. These short bed 4X4's are getting hard to find at a decent price. Please do NOT expect a new truck for this price. Being sold as where is. Can hold a while for pickup. I will work with shippers or you can come here and get it. I require a 200.00 nonrefundable deposit. The rest in cash or certified funds on delivery. I will take PayPal for the entire price if you would like. Clear title in hand. I would like to keep it but I bought the wife a Jeep and need the room.

Ford open to diesel, hybrid or electric Mustang? [w/poll]

Sun, 08 Dec 2013

The Ford Mustang may not be the first vehicle that comes to mind when you think of environmentally-friendly forms of transportation. The arrival of the turbocharged four-cylinder engine in the new Mustang could do a lot to combat that perception, but the EcoBoost engine may just be the tip of the iceberg in that regard.
Speaking with Ford powertrain boss Bob Fascetti at the reveal of the new Mustang in Australia, GoAuto reports that the Blue Oval automaker is considering offering its latest pony car with a diesel, hybrid or even electric powertrain in the future.
"We're not looking at diesel at the moment, but given where we need to go with fuel consumption we are looking at all our options," said Fascetti. Other options could include a nine- or ten-speed automatic transmission to replace the current six-speed unit in order to help improve fuel economy and emissions for the Mustang, although figures for the current lineup have yet to be revealed.

NHTSA releases updated Takata airbag recalled cars list, but it still has errors

Wed, 22 Oct 2014

Unfortunately, the government's list still contains errors.
The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration has issued an updated list of vehicle models that it's urging owners to repair under the mushrooming Takata airbag inflator recall. The latest version adds vehicles from new automakers like Subaru and Ford that are missing from the original announcement, and it also removes erroneous entries from General Motors, leaving only the 2005 Saab 9-2X (a reskinned Subaru WRX), and the 2003-2005 Pontiac Vibe, a joint project with Toyota.
