Up for sale is my 1970 Ford F250 Highboy.. This truck is a rust free west coast truck.. Originally from California then later in its life it ended up in Oregon, where I purchased it from. The Truck is rust free with exception to some surface rust in the bed and some around the door weather stripping.. These trucks are extremely hard to find in rust free condition.. The gentleman I purchased the truck from stated that the original owner had a slide in camper that he hauled in the bed of the camper and never was used as a work truck.. The original owner replaced the original 360 with a 460 some time ago. The 460 runs good has a little blow by no knocks or taps. Starts right up, has a electric choke. The mileage on the engine is unknown. The truck appears to have been repainted in certain areas with some amateur body work to repair dents.. Original paint colors were Mojave tan with a wimbleton white roof. Has factory am radio that works great, cargo light that still works, original ford rubber floor mat, sport custom trim. vintage Kelsey hayes brake controller that works great, 7 prong and 6 prong trailer plugs on the rear.. The truck has 3 fuel tanks that all work, The one behind the seat is the only one that has a fuel gauge. rides nice down the road, no slop in steering. The doors close nice with no play in the hinges.. Tires are old, will need balancing or replacement. No power options manual brakes and steering.. Really not to hard to steer or stop with the smaller tires on it.. Ok heres the issues the truck has: the pass side window regulator is bad, have to manually raise window up and down. The motor smokes a little when first started, prob needs valve seals. There is some bondo in the rear corner of the roof, looks like a dent was filled, couldn't imagine it being rust.. The pass side door has a dent and some surface rust where the paint was damaged.. The seat that's pictured is out of my other truck, it does not come with this truck, I will include a red NOS ford factory seat cover that can be dyed black if you wish. The original seat will be re-installed before sale. The intercom speaker under the dash is not included will be removed as well. The headliner looks like a replacement and does not fit to well. Overall this is a nice truck, I really hate to sell but have to many vehicles right now. I have a 2 wheel drive 70 f250 that I will be selling if the new owner is interested. The 2wd truck has a mint interior and would make a good parts truck Please look at all the pictures and ask questions. Please remember this truck is 43 years old and not perfect. sold as-is.

Ford Mustang to get four-cylinder in Europe, but not US
Thu, 07 Mar 2013Fans of the Ford Mustang SVO, which was produced from 1884 through 1986 with a turbocharged 2.3-liter four-cylinder engine and a manual transmission, may be interested to know that Ford is reportedly going to introduce something similar for 2015. But don't get too excited if you live in the US, as Edmunds reports that the vehicle will be offered in Europe only. Boo!
According to the report, Ford will put a version of its EcoBoost turbocharged four-cylinder into the engine bay of the Mustang. The engine would be enlarged from its current 2.0 liters to 2.3 liters, taking horsepower from 252 to around 300. The well-known 5.0 V8 engine will also be available in Europe.
"The Mustang is uniquely Ford and has a huge fan base here in Europe. Now those fans have something to look forward to and we look forward to providing more details in the near future," says Ford of Europe CEO Stephen Odell. That's great... but why not offer buyers in the States the (likely) fuel-efficient turbo option, too?
Jay Leno's Garage goes eco with Ricardo HyBoost
Mon, 17 Mar 2014"Now before you turn away, this is not another boring hybrid car thing..." Despite the slightly defensive introduction from Jay, the latest episode of Jay Leno's Garage is actually pretty fascinating. The Ricardo HyBoost is a 2009 Ford Focus that has had a 1.1-liter engine swapped in for the stock 2.0-liter four. That might not get you performance enthusiasts out there fired up, until, that is, you hear that the 1.1L is also fed by both a turbocharger and an electrically driven supercharger for an instant-on "torque-fill" effect. Sounds about right, considering that Ricardo engineering is part of the genius behind the McLaren P1.
Perhaps most exciting of all, the Ricardo folks say that the package should run somewhere in the neighborhood of $1,100. A sort of performance-hybrid that makes sense for the frugal driver and the enthusiast one, then. There's a lot more to the HyBoost, all of which can be seen in the video below.
Ford recalls 83k Taurus and crossover models for halfshaft issue
Fri, 15 Aug 2014Ford and the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration have issued a recall for some 83,250 vehicles in the US, for an issue with halfshafts. More specifically a "halfshaft retention circlip" might not have been properly installed on affected vehicles, with the result being halfshafts that may move improperly or disengage completely from the linkshaft while driving. The NHTSA release also notes that the issue may occur "without prior warning" which obviously factors in to the timeliness of getting this checked.
Should the halfshaft disengage, a few troubling things could happen. If it occurs while driving, power from the engine will no longer be transmitted to the wheels. And, if the vehicle is parked without the parking brake applied after disengagement of the circlip, vehicles may roll away even if they're transmissions have been placed in "Park."
Affected vehicles are as follows: Ford Edge and Lincoln MKX crossovers from model years 2012 to 2014; Ford Taurus and Lincoln MKS sedans from model years 2013 to 2014; Ford Flex and Lincoln MKT vehicles from model years 2013 to 2014.
