1997 Ford F-350 4x4 Crew Cab 7.3 Power Stroke Diesel Auto on 2040-cars
Berryville, Virginia, United States
1997 Ford F-350, 4x4, Crew Cab, 7.3 Power Stroke Diesel, Auto Transmission. Great solid truck. Truck is a beast!
In 2008 I inherited a minivan. In 2010 it was obvious when we had a kid that we needed a 4x4 for our gravel, long, hilly, north facing, last driveway to melt in the county. Before kid we could always walk out of the snow. I was looking for a smaller half ton truck but someone wanted a minivan and he had this truck. The rest is history. Now we have two kids and face the reality the truck is too big for my wife and more then we need. Truck has not been stopped in the snow. Truck is almost entirely unmolested and stock. It has Superwinch manual hubs. Very good mechanically with following exceptions: AC is not cold (new problem have not researched problem possible freon), power windows are inconsistent, cruise control will cut off, driver's seat is torn. The truck had a front right quarter panel repaired due to accident. Back corner of bed has dent. Truck was well maintained before I purchased. The auto tranny was rebuilt and installed by Ford dealer in Woodstock, VA. Paperwork regarding specs for the tranny rebuild is incomplete. Just before I purchased it also received a new fuel filter and air filter. Mechanical since I bought the truck: Regular oil changes (Shell Rotella 15W-40) not listed in this list June 2010 179,617 flush rad pulled turbo apart and reseal repack front wheel bearings new front pads, rotors, hardware, front hub seals, caliper slides, and repacked bearings July 2010 179,966 New brake line along rail and brake fluid flush July 2010 front end alignment July 2011 183,567 Four new Dunlop tires stock size and alignment August 2012 187,976 new fuel filter flush radiator November 2012 188,538 new intermediate steering shaft November 2012 188,662 two new batteries July 2013 190,484 fuel filter IPR valve December 2013 192,584 Crank position sensor March 2014 193,546 fuel filter restriction switch neutral safety switch It will need an oil change soon and the AC needs attention (please see note above) This truck and generation of truck will go down as one of the top five or top three trucks ever produced by Ford. This generation Ford truck is up there with the 1956 Ford pickup and the 1970s Ford Highboys for legendary Ford trucks. The 1997 is the last year with this body style, has the legendary 7.3 Power Stroke Diesel, and is a crew cab. The F-250 and F-350 kept the existing body style for 1997. The F-150 had a major body style change in 1997. The F-250 and F-350 changed in 1998. Disclaimers - You are welcome and encouraged to see the truck in person. Cash or bank check only. No personal checks or pay pal. Truck is for sale locally and ebay auction might end. $500.00 deposit is required within three days. Truck has to be paid in full within seven days of sale. Short term storage is offered if truck is paid for in full. Please email me with any questions. We are going to miss this truck! Our two boys (age two and five) love it. Our oldest calls it Freight Train Buggy after the bluegrass song Freight Train Boogy. He loves trains and since it has a diesel engine like trains he loves it! It is obvious it is more truck then we need a half ton will do for us. I have owned numerous trucks and vans and this is without a doubt the strongest! Thanks for looking at the auction! |

2016 Ford Focus RS mule spotted on US soil
Tue, 17 Jun 2014Okay Ford, this is what we like to see. One of our intrepid spy photographers has captured a vehicle that we weren't even sure would see the light of day - the next Focus RS. While this is pretty clearly a mule based on the current Focus ST, as our spy points out, there are a number of giveaways about this hot hatch's true nature.
Indication number one that all is not right with this Focus is the heavily camo'd front fascia, which has been completely reconfigured for duty on the RS. It boasts significantly larger grilles that are meant to accommodate what is likely the 2.3-liter, turbocharged four-cylinder that's destined for the 2015 Ford Mustang. Considering that, then, we can expect around 300 horsepower and 300 pound-feet of torque from the hottest of Foci, although it's entirely possible that the production model could climb even higher, to around 330 hp.
The front fascia tweaks are complemented in the back by a modified rear bumper, which fails at hiding a pair of exhaust tips quite unlike the standard Focus ST's center-exit exhaust. Other obvious changes include the wheel/tire/brake package on this particular car. Larger 19-inch wheels are shod in super-sticky Michelin Pilot Super Sport tires in 235/35/19 while the brakes feature what we think are four-piston calipers, possibly from Brembo, up front.
Production of Shelby GT350 is coming to an end
Fri, 26 Jul 2013One Autoblog staffer who drove the limited-edition Shelby GT350 wrote it probably was the best Mustang he'd driven, but, at some point, the fun had to come to an end: December 31 is the last day the GT350 will be available to order.
The GT350's option list has evolved much like it did for the original 1965-67 GT350. For 2011, the 45th Anniversary edition only came in coupe form and was painted white with blue stripes, just as with the 1965 car. The 2012 GT350 was offered as a coupe or convertible, and three colors were added to the option list, just like the 1966 model. For 2013, more colors and options were added in addition to equipment and styling updates, which resulted in Wilwood instead of Baer brakes. No major changes were made for the 2014 model. From the first car in 2011, customers have been able to choose between three different configurations for their 5.0-liter V8: naturally aspirated with 440 horsepower, supercharged with 525 hp (with warranty) or supercharged with 624 hp (without warranty).
"When we unveiled this latest version of the Shelby GT350, we promised it would be built for a limited time to preserve its collectability and value," states John Luft, president of Shelby American. He may have a point, because the original GT350, which also had a limited production run, is among the most valuable muscle cars in the world.
2015 Ford Focus
Tue, 14 Oct 2014Sitting down at the pre-drive briefing with Ford engineers ahead of sampling the refreshed 2015 Focus, water bottles clinked as we wet our whistles before Q&A. While pouring a glass, we noticed something stamped on the bottle label: "1L." One liter. We were palming the exact displacement of the EcoBoost engine our group was about to drive. This was undoubtedly coincidence (such bottles litter every conference and dinner table in Europe) but it served to drive home just how small the total swept volume of Ford's wunderkind powerplant really is. It's tiny.
Of course, this isn't our first run-in with the little triple - we've sampled its turbocharged charms before in Ford's smaller Fiesta. At that time, we found it had plenty of poke for the subcompact, but the larger C-segment Focus carries around another 450 pounds or so and pushes a wider profile through the air. Would the three-cylinder have the stuffing to make the most of the Focus' athletic chassis, or would it be a letdown? Would it be the same as it was when we tested it in a Euro-spec Focus a couple of years ago? There was nothing left for it but to head out on the bucolic roads surrounding Versailles the day after the Paris Motor Show and find out for ourselves.
