I have for sale this week a 1978 Ford F-150 Ranger 4X4 shortbed truck. I have known this truck for many years. The owner recently died and I bought it from the estate. It was parked for two years after his death and I bought it about two years ago. A battery and fresh gas had it back running great. It has 58000 original miles on it and still retains many of the original belts and hoses and clamps. It has the full time front hubs, so the owner removed the front driveshaft to get better fuel economy. I do not have the front shaft, but is easily sourced from a salvage yard. Other than the bed, this truck is in amazing condition with NO RUST on the cab, doors, fenders, or hood. The bed has rust and could be repaired or easily replaced. The floors of the truck still have shiney black paint on them. The door jambs are all excellent with original paint in great condition. This truck has been well cared for all of it's life. The original carb cranks easily with it's properly working choke. This truck is loaded with options as follows: 351 V-8, Automatic transmission, Factory A/C, tilt wheel, cruise control, power steering, power disc brakes, locking inside hood release, dual front shock HD suspension, and the Ranger trim package. I have driven the truck locally and it drives well. Before going on a long trip, I would replace some of the above mentioned original parts. The cab still retains it's original paint so there are no hidden repairs to worry about. this will be a very easy restoration and well worth the effort. You do not see many original Black and Silver color combo trucks. This truck is for sale locally for $3500.00 and I reserve the right to end this auction at any time in the event of a local sale. I am selling this truck as is and the buyer is responsible for transport to it's new home. Don't miss out on this great truck that will be a beauty when done. thanks for looking.

Old vs. new debate gets new life with $25,000 Fiesta ST vs. E46 M3 showdown

Fri, 10 Jan 2014

You know who you are. There's probably a few of you reading; the ones that say, "Why would I spend $27,000 on a new Mazda MX-5 when I could get a used Chevrolet Corvette with more power." Yes, we're talking to you, used car proponents. While it is a fair argument, it's not like used cars don't come with drawbacks of their own, though.
In an attempt to put this new-versus-used argument to bed once and for all, Matt Farah of the The Smoking Tire has picked up a pair of $25,000 cars - a used, but lightly modified, 2003 BMW M3 and a 2013 Ford Fiesta ST. Naturally, there's a comparison.
Farah, as he's wont to do, does get into the nitty gritty of what each car is like to drive, and discusses the merits of used and new-car shopping. But as he rightly points out while testing the M3, "So, it is a good car. But like any used car, it really does depend on the individual car."

This 1969 Ford F-100 has a Cadillac CTS-V engine lurking underhood

Fri, Jan 30 2015

Something always feels just a little taboo when someone builds a custom and then slots in a powertrain from a rival automaker. That's exactly the case with this modded 1969 Ford F-100 boasting a highly tuned LSA supercharged V8 like from the second-gen Cadillac CTS-V. However, with a claimed 800 horsepower on tap thanks in part to running an estimated 20 pounds of boost, it's easy to get over any bad feelings. Built by Tommy Pike Customs in South Carolina, the truck tries to keep the exterior looking somewhat stock. Although, the jade green and satin gold paint, Quaker State logo, lowered suspension and black wheels immediately suggest something is up. Once the F-100 starts up with its menacing growl, absolutely any doubts of this beast being unaltered are immediately gone. Not so obvious are some tweaks to actually help put all that power down, including disc brakes and independent suspension setups at the front and rear. The video gives some glimpses at a few of Pike's other creations, but the real star here is definitely his mean, green Ford.
