1941 FORD PICKUP
THIS IS A SOLID TRUCK FOR IT'S AGE. IT LOOKS TO HAVE A HAD A REPAINT YEARS AGO. THIS WAS AN OLDER HOT ROD THAT HAD AN OLDS ENGINE AND TRANS IN IT. THE PREVIOUS OWNER REMOVED THE ENGINE AND TRANS, BOXED THE FRAME, INSTALLED A 9" FORD DISC REAR END FROM A BABY LINCOLN AND WELDED IN A MUSTANG II FRONT END, THAT WAS AS FAR AS HE GOT. WHEN INSTALLING THE FRONT END HE REMOVED PART OF THE FACTORY VIN STAMP ON THE FRAME NOT KNOWING IT. I FOUND PAPER WORK IN THE GLOVE BOX FROM AN ANTIQUE AUCTION IN 1989 LISTING THE FULL VIN. THIS TRUCK COMES WITH A BILL OF SALE ONLY-NO TITLE!
THE HOOD, FRONTEND AND GRILL ARE IN GREAT SHAPE. THE WORSE PART OF THE CAB IS THE LOWER RIGHT A PILLAR WHERE IT CONNECTS TO THE FLOOR. THE DRIVER'S DOOR LOOKS REAL GOOD, BUT THE RIGHT SIDE HAS SOME RUST NEAR THE BOTTOM EDGE. THE DOOR GLASS AND REAR GLASS ARE GOOD, THE FRONT GLASS HAS SOME MILK AND SUN DAMAGE.
THESE RESTORABLE TRUCKS ARE GETTING HARDER AND HARDER TO FIND. THIS ONE HAS ALOT GOING FOR IT. WE ALL KNOW WHAT THESE BABIES GO FOR RESTORED OR HOT RODDED. NOW IS YOUR CHANCE TO SNATCH ONE UP BEFORE THEIR ALL GONE FOR A GREAT PRICE!
ALL I HAVE IS WHAT YOU SEE IN THE PICTURES. IF YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS, PLEASE CALL 479-238-1122 OR 479-228-4304. I CAN ALSO DELIVER THE TRUCK IN THE U.S. FOR $1.50 A LOADED MILE (ONE WAY). THANKS, MIKE

Evo grabs Ford's Fiesta R5 rally car by the scruff
Wed, 04 Sep 2013Evo and host Henry Catchpole were thinking of excuses reasons to borrow the bonkers Ford Fiesta R5 rally car for a day or two, when it struck them: the car is street legal. With access to the R5, some of the world's most beautiful driving roads in the English Lake Country nearby, and a handy video crewing hanging around, the plan seemed to write itself.
Based on the resulting video, it was a good plan. Without spoiling the video for you - something we can't really do in text as the best part is listening to the rally car run - Catchpole finds the Fiesta to be sublimely quick and massively satisfying. Even taking the car for a spin on a pseudo rally stage, after leaving the English countryside, does nothing but add to his assessment of the beastly little Ford. Scroll on below to see for yourself, and enjoy the ride.
Consumer Reports criticizes small turbo engines for misleading performance, fuel economy claims [w/video]
Tue, 05 Feb 2013Consumer Reports has taken aim at at small-displacement, forced-induction engines, saying the powerplants don't manage to deliver on automaker fuel economy claims. Manufacturers have long held that smaller, turbocharged engines pack all power of their larger displacement cousins with significantly better fuel economy, but the research organization says that despite scoring high EPA economy numbers, the engines are no better than conventional drivetrains in both categories. Jake Fisher, director of automotive testing for Consumer Reports, says the forced induction options "are often slower and less fuel efficient than larger four and six-cylinder engines."
Specifically, CR calls out the new Ford Fusion equipped with the automaker's Ecoboost 1.6-liter four-cylinder engine. The institute's researchers found the engine, which is a $795 option over the base 2.5-liter four-cylinder, fails to match competitors in acceleration and served up 25 miles per gallon in testing, putting the sedan dead last among other midsize options.
The Chevrolet Cruze, Hyundai Sonata Turbo and Ford Escape 2.0T all got dinged for the same troubles, though Consumer Reports has found the turbo 2.0-liter four-cylinder in the BMW 328i does deliver on its promises. You can check out the full press release below. You can also read the full study on the Consumer Reports site, or scroll down for a short video recap.
Ford recalling 65k Fusions from 2014 and 2015 because key can be removed
Tue, 18 Nov 2014Ford is recalling an estimated 64,869 examples of the 2014-2015 Fusion, Fusion Energi and Fusion Hybrid in North America because the key can be removed when the vehicle isn't in Park under certain conditions. Specifically, the campaign covers 56,479 units in the US, 6,048 in Canada and 2,342 in Mexico, according to the automaker's tally on November 11.
Ford says a programming problem in the instrument cluster means that the key can be removed 30 minutes after the ignition is turned off, even if the transmission is not in Park. The situation where this could happen seems quite limited, and the company is not aware of any accidents or injuries related to the issue. However, the fault puts the vehicle out of compliance with federal regulations covering theft protection and rollaways, and must be repaired.
The fix is easy: Ford will reprogram the instrument cluster at no cost to consumers. According to Ford spokesperson Kelli Felker in an email to Autoblog, "We will notify customers the week of January 5th." Scroll down to read Ford's announcement.
