This is a really cool, unique, F250 DIESEL shop truck hot/rat rod. Original clean California Pick Up with a Mercedes turbo diesel and 3 speed Auto Trans. This little rod was converted by a professional mechanic and used as his personal daily driver for the past several months. It has complete Mercedes drivetrain including legendary 6 cyl turbo diesel, automatic, and independent rear end and suspension. It works amazingly well in this truck... Plenty powerful, reliable, easy driver with great fuel economy... This bad boy will run excellent on diesel, bio diesel, or vegetable oil!!  This classic is in great condition all around. Looks awesome with matte black sitting on 22's... runs fantastic. I have built and owned many diesel conversions (customdiesels .com)... I had a grand plan for this one but have some time/space issues so I'm going to offer this for sale one time... this is an opportunity... its a high teens-low $20K truck with a little work... Cool vintage diesel hot/rat rod truck would be awesome weekend cruiser, daily driver, or addition to any collection...

The body is pretty darn straight and 99.5 % rust free... the only real rust is on the bottom front edges of rear fenders... theres a trim piece available to cover that or easily addressed... the rest of the truck and the underside is super solid... nice and clean.Flat black repaint looks cool and a patina shop job would be awesome and easy. Bed was shortened a few inches... no tail gate... easily had or made. It has a cool stance with 22 inch rims... It has the entire Mercedes Rear sub frame including independent coil suspension... I was going to lower the front to match and ad power steering/brakes... it looks and works fine as is... Get's looks and compliments everywhere we roll...

The interior is great. Dash and gauges are nice and most work properly. Seat is comfortable. Electronics and lights all work properly.

Diesel motor starts idles and runs fantastic...  GREAT power and sounds cool...
runs excellent on diesel, bio diesel, or vegetable oil!! 3 speed auto shifts smooth and strong through the gears...  Heavy duty Mercedes rear end. Gear ratios are great around town and cruises nice on the freeway as well. Has disk brakes in the rear and original drums up front... The ride is surprisingly good and stops straight and sure. Strong and reliable... ready to roll.

Overall this is a really cool American Classic Hot/Rat Rod DIESEL pick up in great condition all around. Awesome potential and/or weekend cruiser, daily driver, or whatever you like. Great for any enthusiast, collector, or anyone looking for a cool and unique Vintage Classic at a great price.

Next Ford Mustang to drop 400 pounds

Thu, 15 Aug 2013

The Ford Mustang is already the lightest of the current crop of muscle cars, at around 3,600 pounds for a GT coupe with the six-speed manual transmission. That's almost 260 pounds less than a Chevrolet Camaro SS and about 450 pounds less than a Dodge Challenger R/T, which means the Mustang has a pretty big advantage when it comes to handling, braking, accelerating and economy. More good news: The next Mustang will be even lighter.
According to a report from Edmunds, the sixth-generation Mustang, which is set to debut at the 2014 North American International Auto Show, will shed an additional 400 pounds of body fat. That 11-percent weight reduction will be thanks to lightweight materials, with a particular focus on using stronger, but less material in construction. Aluminum will feature heavily, but Edmunds' inside source warns that there is "nothing terribly exotic" coming to the original pony car.
The other big news is that the new Mustang will be smaller overall. It's going to be 15-inches shorter than the 188.5-inch Mustang on sale today, while it'll also be 6.5 inches narrower. Shorter overhangs, both in the front and rear, are also good signs for those that want an agile Mustang.

Which is more fuel efficient, driving with a pickup's tailgate up or down?

Tue, 26 Aug 2014



Thanks to the smoke wand in the wind tunnel, you can actually see the difference in our video.
Should you drive with your pickup truck's tailgate up or down? It's an age-old controversy that's divided drivers for decades. Traditionalists will swear you should leave the tailgate down. Makes sense, right? It would seem to let the air flow more cleanly over the body and through the bed. But there's also a school of thought that argues trucks are designed to look and operate in a specific manner, and modern design techniques can help channel the airflow properly. So don't mess with all of that: Leave the tailgate up.

Here's what it's like to drive the very first Ford Mustang cop car

Thu, Jan 29 2015

As we recently discovered, there's something different about driving a police car. That's true whether you're talking about a modern Dodge Charger Pursuit or, yes, the legendary Ford Mustang SSP. Former Autoblog staffer and current Road and Track web editor Zach Bowman discovered this when he shanghaied a 2015 Mustang GT and made the trip to Nashville, TN to drive the very first Mustang SSP police car. The two-tone, V8-powered prototype was delivered into the welcoming arms of the California Highway Patrol back in 1981 for evaluation. Bowman chatted up cop-car aficionado Mike Strinich, the prototype's current owner, and managed to score some seat time in the car, which provided a unique interesting contrast to the SSP's 435-horsepower junior. Head over to R&T for the complete read.
