This truck has a good running 352 FE Big Block in it from the factory. Looks as though someone decided to add a cast iron 1968 4v intake manifold and 4v Holley carburetor at some point, along with a set of Hooker headers. It fires right up every time. Behind the big FE motor is a factory original NP (New Process) 4spd manual transmission and a big 9' rear end with 4.10 gears. As for original mileage, I don't know. Judging on looks alone, I would guess the heads were rebuilt at some time in the past, probably to add hardened valve seats, but that's just my guess. I believe the distributor was also replaced.

Good Clutch, Manual Brakes, Manual Steering... as all F-250's were. A nice Stereo/ CD player was added and mounted overhead in the truck. Door speakers were professionally installed, as was the amp and sub behind the seat. The stereo system rocks.

The interior was professionally painted to match the exterior of the truck. I think it looks good. It's sparse, but that's how these trucks were. All the gauges work as does the back light so you can see the gauges at night.

All exterior lights work including the turn signals. Wipers work as well. It's a good old truck and the fact that it was a Special Ordered Truck, specified by the door data tag, is pretty neat. I took a photo of the door tag and decoded it for potential buyers. The truck also has newer 16" wheels with like new BF Goodrich All Terrain T/A Tires.

Ford recalling nearly 700k Escape CUVs, C-Max hybrids over two separate safety issues

Fri, 09 May 2014

Poor Escape. Ever since its launch in 2012, Ford's small CUV has been the subject of many, many, many recalls. And today, The Detroit News is reporting that Ford is adding two more recalls to the 2013-14 model year Escape's permanent record, one of them also involves the C-Max hybrid hatchback.
The first recall, covering 692,500 Escape and C-Max vehicles, is due to a software glitch that could cause the airbags - specifically, the safety canopy - to not deploy in a timely fashion during rollover crashes. According to the News, Ford says no crashes or injuries have been reported in relation to this problem.
The second recall, covering 692,700 Escapes, is related to the door handles. The News reports that the exterior door handles could open while the vehicle is in motion, and could also fail to latch properly. Once again, no crashes or injuries have occurred because of this. The National Highway Safety Traffic Administration has not issued an official notice on either recall as of this writing.

Leno recalls '90s showdown with Tim Allen and his mullet

Wed, Oct 7 2015

Not many of us have buddies with garages full of classic cars, but that isn't the case for Jay Leno and Tim Allen. Of course, one of the advantages for two guys with such vast collections is occasionally getting to pit their cars against each other. The two comedians did just that in the mid-'90s with a burnout battle on The Tonight Show between Allen in a race-prepped Mustang and Leno in a drag racer. After some time away from regular television, Leno is returning to the airwaves with a Jay Leno's Garage series premiering on Oct. 7 (tonight) at 10:00 p.m. ET on CNBC. Let this clip serve as another taste of what to expect for the new TV show's mix of comedy and cars. After reminiscing about the old days in a gorgeous garage, the comedians get into two modern machines to reprise the classic challenge – after a little trash talk anyway. Don't worry because the YouTube series isn't going anywhere, though.
