OK, THEN, I'M GOING TO GO THRU THE TIME & EFFORT TO COMPLETELY EXPLAIN IN GREAT DETAIL BY WORDS & PICS ABOUT THIS TRUCK'S CONDITION & ORIGIN SO THAT YOU FULLY & COMPLETELY UNDERSTAND WHAT YOU WILL BE BIDDING ON. SO THIS IS WHAT I ASK IN RETURN--ANY & ALL TRADES ARE NOT WELCOME, ONLY TRADE WELCOME IS YOUR MONEY FOR MY TRUCK. IF YOU HAVEN'T GOT THE MONEY, DO NOT BID! YOU MUST HAVE PAYPAL FOR THE $2000 NON-REFUNDABLE DEPOSIT.AS FOR SCAMMERS, PLEASE DO NOT TAKE THIS THE WRONG WAY BUT I DON'T NEED THE BS, I'VE HEARD IT ALL. NOW THAT WE'RE THRU THIS. THIS IS A 1979 F150 SHORT BED, ORIGINALLY A FLEETSIDE, WHICH NOW HAS A 1994 STEPSIDE BED IN EXCELLENT COND. ENGINE IS 351M WITH A 4 SPD TRANS. I BOUGHT THIS TRUCK FROM THE ORIG. FAMILY OWNER WHO HAS GIVEN ME THE CLEAR TITLE IN SPRINGFIELD, MA WHERE IT WAS SITTING IN A DELAPITATED GARAGE FOR NO LESS THAN 20 YRS. BY NO MEANS WAS THIS A "BARN FIND." THE ONLY THING THE TRUCK HAD GOING FOR IT AT THE TIME OF MY PURCHASE WAS VERY LOW MILEAGE & A SOLID UNDERCARRIAGE. AS FOR THE SHEET METAL, IT WAS PRETTY MUCH DESTROYED--SO IT IS ESSENTIALLY A FRAME-OFF RESTORATION. FOR STARTERS, I INSTALLED A '79 F350 CAB FROM A U-HAUL TRUCK. FYI--U-HAUL WAS THE ONLY COMPANY THAT FORD ESPECIALLY APPLIED SOME VERY SPECIAL RUST INHIBITOR IN EVERY CORNER & CREVICE OF THIS CAB, SO ALL THE COMMON ROT SPOTS ARE NON-EXISTENT. ALL OF THE FOLLOWING ARE IN EXCELLENT CONDITION--ROOF LINE, DRIP EDGES, LOWER COWL AREA, FRONT BODY MOUNTS & REAR BODY MOUNTS& ROCKER PANELS & CAB CORNERS. HOWEVER, I MYSELF HAVE REPLACED CAB CORNERS & REAR BODY MOUNTS (I'M A PROFESSIONAL WELDER).AS FOR OTHER BODY PANELS, SOME WERE NEW & SOME WERE USED. I INSTALLED A FIBERGLASS LIGHTED LUND VISOR WHICH I HAVEN'T WIRED TO THE SWITCH. ALL USED PANELS WERE IN GREAT COND. HOOD--USED. FENDERS--NEW. CHROME GRILLE & HEADLIGHT BUCKETS--NEW. ALUMINUM GRILLE SHELL--USED. FRONT BUMPER--NEW, BACK BUMPER--NEW, DOORS--USED, SEAT NEWLY UPHOLSTERED, CARPET--NEW, BLACK DASH PAD--USED, HEADLINER--USED. REPLACED MECHANICALS--NEW RADIATOR, NEW CARB, NEW EXHAUST SYSTEM, BRAKES ARE 80%, TIRES ARE 50% ON 16" ALUM MAGS. AS FOR THE BLACK PAINT JOB, THIS IS FRESHLY NEW & NOT FROM MAACO. ALSO WHEN THIS WAS STRIPPED DOWN TO JUST THE CHASSIS, I COMPLETELY STEAM CLEANED EVERY SPOT ON THIS CHASSIS, HOWEVER, BLOWING OFF ANY & ALL LOOSE FACTORY UNDERCOATING SO A LOT OF THE CHASSIS HAS A PERFECTLY NORMAL VERY FINE RUST AS IT SHOULD. I REFUSE TO JUST COVER IT OVER FOR A MUCH BETTER LOOK. IT'S MUCH BETTER BEING LEFT ALONE OR TREAT THE FRAME FIRST& THEN UNDERCOAT--YOUR CHOICE. THIS TRUCK RUNS, DRIVES, HANDLES, SOUNDS OUTSTANDING. NOT A SQUEAK, NOT A RATTLE, VERY STRONG & POWERFUL RUNNING TRUCK. IT HAS POWER STEERING & POWER BRAKES BUT NEVER EVEN HAD A RADIO INSTALLED. THE WIRING HARNESS IS COMPLETELY UNMOLESTED. EVERY SINGLE THING WORKS AS IT SHOULD.

Down the road, Roush will also offer styling upgrades for the Focus as well as performance tuning upgrades such as engine controller, suspension, wheels and tires.

2015 Ford Mustang EcoBoost Review
Thu, Feb 26 2015"It's just a V6 Mustang." That phrase, so often spoken with derision and disdain, has haunted owners of Ford's more affordable and economical pony car since roughly April of 1964. Even after Dearborn finally paid some attention to its entry-level muscle car by eliminating telltale V6 features – the company fit dual exhausts in place of the single-exit pipe in 2011, negating the budget offering's biggest visual giveaway – the car was still hard pressed to shake its reputation as a hairdresser's car and rental fleet queen. For the Mustang's 50th year in service, Ford went back to the drawing board, we think with the distinct goal of eliminating the stigma of the non-V8 Mustang. While the V6 is still being offered (your local Avis and Enterprise lots wouldn't be the same without them), it's best to think of the new, four-cylinder, turbocharged Mustang EcoBoost as the entry-level model. But will the addition of forced induction – from an engine that will see action in the upcoming, enthusiast-centric Focus RS, no less – be enough to appease those pony car fans that believe that only Mustangs with eight cylinders are worthy of the galloping stallion badge? After a week at the helm, we certainly think it is. The new Mustang's looks have been covered ad nauseam. Chances are good that you either love the fastback styling, or you think the original pony car now looks a lot like a Fusion Coupe. We'll ignore the bigger styling remarks for the 2015 Mustang, and instead, focus on what's done right with the EcoBoost model. Like the V6 before it, certain boxes are correctly ticked. Dual exhausts? Check. 18-inch alloys? Check. (Our EcoBoost Premium model even shares its wheels with the base GT). HID headlamps? Check. Up front, there's a surprisingly meaty chin spoiler while the muscular lines of the 'Stang's long hood tie in nicely with the fastback shape, which terminates in a neat rear spoiler. There's even a body-colored diffuser at the back, between the chromed exhaust tips. The bottom line is, unless you're a true Mustang aficionado, you'll be hard pressed to tell the difference between the turbocharged car and its 435-horsepower brother. Simply sitting in the redesigned cabin isn't enough to give the EcoBoost away, either. The leather-trimmed seats (standard on the Premium trim) are cozy and supportive, with plenty of bolstering to help keep both driver and passenger in place while the 'Stang exhibits its newly enhanced cornering abilities.
John Hennessey's personal 2015 HPE700 Supercharged Ford Mustang GT hits 195 mph
Wed, Feb 11 2015Dressed in a coat of menacing black paint, the 2015 Hennessey Performance HPE700 Supercharged Ford Mustang GT definitely looks like one mean muscle machine. The 717-horsepower 'Stang proved that it can back up that aggressive appearance recently when company founder John Hennessey took his personal example to see just how fast it would go. The result down the 1.1-mile straight at the Continental Tires Proving Grounds in Uvalde, Texas, was over 195 miles per hour. The Mustang is nothing but a black blur and wall of supercharger wail as it buzzes by the camera at top speed. Despite the strong result, Hennessey doesn't seem done with the 'Stang yet. The car still seems to be pulling when it hits the rev limiter, and there's some straight track left ahead. After getting out, John Hennessey immediately says he thinks 200 mph is possible. The heart of the HPE700 is a 2.9-liter Roots-Type supercharger running at 7.25 psi. That's a pretty massive blower, especially when considering the 2.4-liter unit on the Hellcat V8. The engine also gets upgrades like improved injectors, a new fuel pump, stainless steel exhaust and recalibrated management. The company claims the upgraded Mustang can hit 60 in around 3.6 seconds and do the quarter-mile in 11.2 seconds at 131 mph. Prices for the package start at $59,500, but this one would would ring up for $65,874. Hennessey Performance is limiting production to 500 of them for the 2015 model year. 2015 HPE700 Supercharged Mustang Rockets to 195.2 mph John Hennessey takes his personal Mustang GT on a Texas road trip Uvalde, Texas-Everything is bigger in Texas, especially when it comes to automotive performance. Texas also lays claim to the highest posted speed limit in America at 85 mph. Enter the team from Hennessey Performance Engineering (HPE) who are located just west of Houston. John Hennessey and his merry band of performance car builders like to go fast, so much so that they have their own 1/4 mile dragstrip next to their workshop. Recently, the Hennessey team wanted to test their 717 horsepower HPE700 Supercharged Mustang development car (John's personal car and occasional daily driver) beyond the 130+ mph speeds that they have seen on the dragstrip. "Thankfully, we had recently received an invitation from the guys at the Continental Tires proving grounds in Uvalde to come over and do some testing on their 8.0 mile high speed oval", said Hennessey.
