1978 Ford Courier, 1.8L engine, 5 speed manual transmission, 93726 miles. The truck is in good mechanical condition. The body is in descent shape. There are a few small dents and dings on the truck and the front bumper has a dent in it on the passenger side. The paint is faded, with some surface rust, more on the passenger side than on the driver's side. The interior is in good shape. The dash pad is cracked, mostly around where the speaker is. Seat and door panels are in good shape. All the glass is good. The floor pans are also in great shape.I bought this truck a couple years ago with 85k original miles and title in hand. After I purchased it, I rebuilt the carb, replaced the brakes, cleaned the gas tank and put new tires on it. I started driving it to work, 38 miles each way and averaged 30-32mpg. Local driving it averaged 28-30 mpg. After driving it a little while I noticed that the valve guide seals were dried out, so I had the head removed and a complete valve job done. The truck runs great and does not smoke. The only issues I'm aware of is the turn signal return inside the steering column is broken out so you have to manually turn the turn signals off and the emergency brake connector inside the passenger side rear wheel is broken. This truck would be great for a daily driver or for restoration. I have tried to describe this vehicle the best I can and I hope the pictures help out. Mileage may increase a small amount during auction. I reserve to end the auction. Cash purchase or Certified Cashiers Check. All money will clear before vehicle is released. (706)983-1063 Joey Thanks

Bill Ford wins National Pond Hockey Championship with employees
Tue, 11 Feb 2014Who says executives aren't people? This past weekend, Bill Ford, executive chairman of Ford Motor Company, and a group of employees trekked up to Eagle River, WI for a few games of pond hockey. Team Ford took part in the 2014 Labatt Blue/USA Pond Hockey Championship, capturing its fifth title in the 50+ Tier 1 Division.
"It feels great to win," Ford, who plays on the team alongside other Ford employees, told the USA Hockey website. "It was fun to play [River Valley Pioneers] because they're great guys and we play them every year. We finally beat them, which we were due. It was a very clean game, a tough game."
The FoMoCo team managed to score seven goals to River Valley's two, and went undefeated in all five of its games during the tourney. Take a look below for the official press release on Team Ford's win.
Ford hybrids getting update to improve fuel economy
Tue, 16 Jul 2013Ford has announced that it is introducing "calibration updates designed to improve on-road fuel economy for owners of the 2013 Ford C-Max Hybrid, 2013 Ford Fusion Hybrid and 2013 Lincoln MKZ Hybrid."
We can speculate that these changes are at least due in part to lawsuits over mileage claims of hybrid vehicles. The automaker is enhancing 2013 models starting in August by raising their electric cruising speed to 85 miles per hour from 62 mph, optimizing the use of active grille shutters and the climate control system, shortening the engine warm-up period by 50 percent and reducing electric fan speed to minimize the fan's energy consumption.
It bears mentioning that Ford is doing pretty well in the US electrified vehicle market this year. The company claims to have grown its share in the segment by 12 points to 16 percent while taking a high number of Toyota Prius trade-ins in the process. Conversely, Toyota has experienced a five-percent drop in new-Prius sales over the same period. Additionally, Ford states that it has increased its share of the US vehicle market by one percent this year, more than any full-line automaker.
2015 Ford Mustang EcoBoost flogged and analyzed by Ignition
Mon, 13 Oct 2014Aside from the way it looks and perhaps its independent rear suspension, the biggest bit of news on the 2015 Mustang may be the inclusion of its 2.3-liter, turbocharged four-cylinder engine. That blown mill marks the first time since the Mustang SVO of the '80s that a turbo has been fitted under the engine of Ford's pony car.
The Mustang EcoBoost is the subject of the latest episode of Ignition from Motor Trend, giving us a great look at the technical, nitty-gritty side of the turbocharged coupe. Covering it from bow to stern, host Carlos Lago walks us through the boosted Ford before taking to the track for some driving impressions, with particular praise given to the low-end grunt of the 2.3-liter mill.
Check out the full video and then let us know which 2015 Mustang has your interest piqued the most - the EcoBoost four, the 5.0L V8 or the entry-level V6.
