Colville, Washington, United States

1966 Ford F250 Camper Special Custom Cab customized shop truck.  Original paint on this solid and straight old truck.  Equipped with independent front suspension, power steering, power 12" disc breaks and a massive front sway bar thanks to a 1994 Chevrolet Cop Car.  The rear end and 700r4 overdrive automatic transmission are also from this donor car.  Motor is a good sound 1975 Cadillac 500 with rear sump pan from an Eldorado.  This makes the truck drive, corner, handle and stop just like the Caprice Cop Car that donated the parts.  The torque monster Cad motor coupled to 700r4 makes for lots of tire smoke and great cruising.  Pretty good fuel mileage as well.  I put this truck together about 4 years ago and have driven it over 15,000 trouble free miles.  Never given me any trouble what so ever.  Starts right up even when it was 15 degrees this past winter.  Lots of new parts when built.  New windshield and gasket, breaks all around.  New radiator, hosed and heater hosed.  Flushed the gas tank and new fuel lines and fuel pump.  New dual exhaust system with glass packs and exit just in front of the rear wheels.  New P235/60r15 on new torque thrust polished wheels on front.  New P295/50R15 on torque thrust polishes wheels on rear.  Front rims are 8" wide and rear are 9".  Rear rubber is 10" wide at the thread.  The Cad motor will still smoke the tires for 2 blocks if you want.  Equipped with a line lock and a B&M torque converter lock up.   All the glass is good and wing vents and windows roll up and down as they should.  Doors and tail gate all close nice and fit good.  All gauges work along with the dome light, horn, door locks and turn signals.  Auxiliary fuel tanks in the box have been converted to lockable storage boxes and they work great when filled with ice for cold drinks.  They have drain holes in the bottoms. This truck needs nothing.  It's ready to go anywhere in the U.S.  New seat, door panels, headliner and door pulls.  Look at the floor rubber.  It is original and still in great shape.  I am sure that I am forgetting something's but that pretty much describes the truck.  I would be glad to answer any question that you might have.  Feel free to come drive this truck.  I can be reached at 509-684-5723.  If you need more pictures, just ask.  I own a small rod shop here in Colville and have done 4 other similar trucks for local customers and have had no complaints.  Just finished a 65 short box for my new shop truck so Rusty is for sale.  Willing to work with the new owner as far as shipping goes.  Short term storage is something we can talk about.

Ford reports 58% drop in Q2 profits on European losses

Wed, 25 Jul 2012



Ford Motor Company announced Wednesday that it has posted a $1 billion profit for the second quarter of 2012. That sounds like good news for the Blue Oval, until you take into account that Ford posted a $2.4 billion profit for Q2 a year ago. That is a substantial 58 percent loss.
Ford also posted $465 million in international losses, with $404 million of those losses coming directly from Europe. The automaker also increased its European loss projections to $1 billion for 2012, due in large part to the economic crisis overseas, which has resulted in increased unemployment and decreased consumer confidence.

2015 Ford Focus Electric hides in plain sight

Wed, 16 Apr 2014

The styling changes to the 2015 Ford Focus were shown off at the recent Geneva Motor Show, so what the EV version looks like is not that much of a surprise. Still, the 2015 Focus Electric is making its world debut here at the New York Auto Show, so we wanted to know what changes we are looking at compared to both the internal combustion engine version and the earlier EV models.
The exterior visual distinctions between the ICE and EV are minimal, and basically nonexistent from the A-pillar to the rear. Up front, you can see the charge port, of course, but the front fascia has also undergone a bit of an adjustment. The front doesn't have the ICE version's flattened grille and the EV's Ford logo creates a bump in the hood line where none exists on the ICE. The 2015's grille is also different than the one on the 2014 Focus Electric, being slightly smaller (you can see this better if you compare pictures in our new gallery above to these of the 2011 Focus Electric and these of the gas-powered 2015 Focus).
The updated 2015 interior - which we couldn't access ourselves - has things like a new center stack, improved cupholders and is basically identical between the gas and electric models. With the car off, you can't even tell if you're in an EV or ICE, Seema Bardwaj, the US brand manager for the Focus, told AutoblogGreen. The only things that are different, she said, are extra menu screens to show EV powertrain information to the driver.

The next-generation wearable will be your car

Fri, Jan 8 2016

This year's CES has had a heavy emphasis on the class of device known as the "wearable" – think about the Apple Watch, or Fitbit, if that's helpful. These devices usually piggyback off of a smartphone's hardware or some other data connection and utilize various onboard sensors and feedback devices to interact with the wearer. In the case of the Fitbit, it's health tracking through sensors that monitor your pulse and movement; for the Apple Watch and similar devices, it's all that and some more. Manufacturers seem to be developing a consensus that vehicles should be taking on some of a wearable's functionality. As evidenced by Volvo's newly announced tie-up with the Microsoft Band 2 fitness tracking wearable, car manufacturers are starting to explore how wearable devices will help drivers. The On Call app brings voice commands, spoken into the Band 2, into the mix. It'll allow you to pass an address from your smartphone's agenda right to your Volvo's nav system, or to preheat your car. Eventually, Volvo would like your car to learn things about your routines, and communicate back to you – or even, improvise to help you wake up earlier to avoid that traffic that might make you late. Do you need to buy a device, like the $249 Band 2, and always wear it to have these sorts of interactions with your car? Despite the emphasis on wearables, CES 2016 has also given us a glimmer of a vehicle future that cuts out the wearable middleman entirely. Take Audi's new Fit Driver project. The goal is to reduce driver stress levels, prevent driver fatigue, and provide a relaxing interior environment by adjusting cabin elements like seat massage, climate control, and even the interior lighting. While it focuses on a wearable device to monitor heart rate and skin temperature, the Audi itself will use on-board sensors to examine driving style and breathing rate as well as external conditions – the weather, traffic, that sort of thing. Could the seats measure skin temperature? Could the seatbelt measure heart rate? Seems like Audi might not need the wearable at all – the car's already doing most of the work. Whether there's a device on a driver's wrist or not, manufacturers seem to be developing a consensus that vehicles should be taking on some of a wearable's functionality.
