Luck, Wisconsin, United States

This is a nice 1955 Ford F250 V8 Stake Bed Truck.  Better than average condition normally seen, especially in this neck of the woods.  Truck is in original condition, has not been redone.  Was used as a farm truck for most of it's life.  First in Wisconsin, then in Minnesota until about 1977.  Originally came with a 239 V8, which put out about 113 HP, but owner in Minnesota ran it out of oil and replaced it with a 59-60 292 V8, which was a nice upgrade because it put out about 193 HP.  Engine runs great.  Always starts, even in below zero temperatures.  Truck has been used at least weekly on short trips to neighbors since I've had it, which is over a year.  Prior to that is was stored in a pole shed for about 30 years.  Last year it was registered prior to me was 1977.  Drives fine.  Has four speed manual transmission with granny.  Clutch works fine.  Has manual steering.  Has manual brakes that work, but should be upgraded if to be used on longer trips.  Heater and defrost seem to work.  All gauges work except fuel and temp.  Tires are pretty good.  All glass is good, except drivers door window is cracked.  Body is not bad.  A few rust spots in the corners, but looks good.  Frame is also in good shape.  Floor is in decent shape.  Original mats are still there.   Interior isn't bad either.  Dash and doors look good.  Seat is a little worn on drivers side back.  Was stored in pole building most of it's life.  Hood is nice.  Has the F100 emblems on the hood for some reason unknown to me.  Original metal identification plate in glove box.  Has 12 volt electrical system.  All lights, horn and blinkers work.  Has 43320 original miles and odometer does work.   Have clear title and is currently registered/licensed.  Identification plate says it is a F250 3/4T made in Dallas, Texas, 6900 GVWR, 118" wheel base, 4.86 differential.  Would make a fun driver the way it is, or a nice base to start with on a restore.  See pictures for best description.  Contact me with questions of if more pictures are needed.  Will assist in loading.  Can be driven on to trailer.  Delivery is a possible option depending on distance.  Can be discussed with buyer.  Accepted offers, over my starting price, is always possible, using the "buy it now" option, as long as no bids have been placed.

2015 Ford Mustang spied on video for the first time

Thu, 20 Jun 2013

Not many cars will continue to hold our rapt attention quite like the upcoming redesigned 2015 Ford Mustang, codenamed S550 internally. Earlier this month, we brought you the first spy photos of a next-gen Mustang prototype out testing, and even though expertly placed cladding concealed the pony car's new shape, we could tell that underneath was hiding an altogether new form inspired by the Evos Concept from 2011.
Today we give you some video of what looks to be the same Mustang prototype, which you can watch below, and while the budding director behind the camera wasn't able to capture much in the way of the engine's audio signature, we can see the car in motion for the first time and compare its relative size and shape to the S197 Mustang GT that's on its tail.

Ward's Automotive Ten Best Engines of 2014 dominated by diesels, turbos

Thu, 12 Dec 2013

With the Car and Driver Ten Best decided, the North American Car and Truck of the Year finalists announced and Cadillac, Ram and Subaru chalking up wins with Motor Trend, it's fair to say that the automotive awards season is in full swing. The next set of trophies to be handed out will be from Ward's Automotive, which has announced the winners of its 2014 10 Best Engines.
The latest contest was marked by the widespread emergence of diesel power and the continued success of turbocharged engines. There was even an electric motor on this year's list. In fact, only three of the ten winners were naturally aspirated and only two winners returned from last year.
"We weren't looking to throw the bums out, as they might say about an election. We were just really impressed with the flood of new powertrains," said Ward's Automotive Editor-in-Chief Drew Winter. Those new powertrains include the 83-kilowatt electric motor from the Fiat 500e, the 1.0-liter, EcoBoost three-cylinder from the Ford Fiesta and the 2.0-liter turbodiesel from the Chevrolet Cruze.
