This American Classic was purchased new in Griswald, Iowa by my uncle. From what I understand, the 351 Cleveland was not available in this truck, but my uncle was real good friends with the dealer who was able to pull some strings and got it ordered with the Cleveland. Right after he got it, my uncle had a 4 barrel carb and manifold put on. My uncle drove it to California where he lives and it was there until 1987 when my dad bought it. It has been in Colorado since then. This was my dad's pride and joy! Oil was changed every 3000 miles and regular maintance was done as needed. The speedometer was replaced in 2007. Not sure why. Car had 144,578 miles when speedo was replaced. New speedo had 185,214 miles on it. So, actuall miles on car is 149,295 right now. Shows how little my dad drove it, he only put about 5000 miles on it in 2 years before he passed away in 2009. He had the seat reupolstered years ago and the carpet and headliner are in great shape. I took this out for a drive the other day just to blow the cob webs out. I was doing at least 90 MPH on the highway and it rode like a dream. I was very impressed. Very nice riding car. AC was still blowing cold air and everything seemed to be working just fine. The car was repainted 5 or 6 years ago and a set of original stripes (an extra set my uncle bought with the car) was put on it. The only thing I didn't care for is the guy painted it with single stage paint. It looks good, but the top and the hood will need a good buffing. All the original trim is there with ony a few minor issues (see pics.). There are 3 cracks in the dash. Two can be seen in the pics. The other one is to the left side. It does come with a fitted carpeted dash cover. There is no rust on car except for surface rust on underside which is normal. I did notice the tail light bezzles are getting a little bit of pitting. Front bumper has 2 spots that the chrome is pealing, but the bumper is in great shape. Tires still have plenty of tread, but there is some weathering and age starting to show on sidewalls. This is a true survivor! We would love to keep it, but it just isn't feasible and we would rather see someone get it who will appreciate it the way my dad did instead of letting it sit and rot away. If you have questions or need more pics., please let me know. A $500 deposit is due within 48 hours of auction end. Payable by PayPal only. PayPal, Certified US Cashiers check or cash for the remainder within 7 days of auction end. Car will be held until funds are cleared. To be picked up in Strasburg, CO (30 miles east of Denver). Or if you arrange the shipping out of Denver I will take it there for you. Thank you. THE BUYER WILL NOT BE DISAPPOINTED!!

Guess which brand's not on a top 10 list of best EVs (hint: it's Tesla)

Thu, Jun 22 2023

Few surprises lurk in Autotrader’s list of its 10 best electric vehicles of 2023, but there is one that stands out: no Teslas. There's Hyundais and Kias, Porsches and Fords, a BMW and a Nissan. But Â… no Teslas. Although many of us admit to being over-Musked and tired of reading about him, the lack of a Tesla model on a selection of the 10 most desirable current EVs is conspicuous by its absence. Asked about this particular omission, we received this rather vague response from Autotrader spokesperson Brenna Buehler at Cox Automotive: Â“Tesla models were included in consideration but didnÂ’t get sufficiently high scores by the Editorial team to qualify for the top 10.Â” At least some Tesla offerings appeared to meet all the requirements set by the website. The manufacturers must offer 2023 model year vehicles, and they have to be sold in at least 15 states. Check. Only pure EVs were allowed on the list; there are no hybrids, plug-in hybrids or hydrogen fuel-cell vehicles. Check. The base manufacturer's suggested retail price must be less than $100,000. Check. Let the debates begin. Moving on, it should be noted that two Genesis models, a G80 sedan and GV 60 SUV, are listed, along with a Lucid Air midsize sedan, the Rivian R1T pickup, and the Porsche Taycan. Here is the full list, with the remarks and comments from Autotrader's raters. (And we've included links to Autoblog's own reviews for a deeper dive). The EVs are listed in alphabetical order by brand, so don't read anything into the order of presentation: 2023 BMW i4 BMW reboots its EV approach and comes up with a winner:Â Whatever you thought of BMW's first run at EV, the i3, it was missing a certain something Â– it didn't look or perform like a BMW. The 2023 BMW i4 corrects course with a Gran Coupe that our editors agree looks and drives like a BMW. 2023 Ford F-150 Lightning Ford's electric pickup gathers steam in its second year: The F-150 Lightning somehow synthesized decades of pickup truck knowledge with the latest and greatest EV technology and infused thoughtful details and user-friendly features. 2023 Genesis Electrified G80South Korea's luxury brand shows how to elevate the executive EV sedan without breaking the bank: Genesis, Hyundai's luxury offshoot, rethought the gasoline-powered luxury sedan, the G80, and developed the 2023 Genesis Electrified G80. Precisely as the name hints, the Electrified G80 replaces the G80's engine with an all-wheel-drive EV powertrain.

2024 Lincoln Aviator and 2024 Ford Explorer lose hybrid option

Wed, Nov 15 2023

The 2024 Lincoln Aviator will not be available with a plug-in hybrid drivetrain, a spokesman for the brand confirmed. Lincoln dropped the gasoline-electric option to focus on more popular variants of the SUV, and it's making a handful of small changes for the new model year. "Given timing, the 2024 Aviator is a limited production run and as such, we are focusing on our most popular offering," a spokesman told Autoblog via email. While nothing is official yet, unverified reports suggest that the SUV will receive a major round of updates for 2025. In the meantime, the Aviator will enter the 2024 model year with a twin-turbocharged 3.0-liter V6 as its only engine option. The six-cylinder makes 400 horsepower and 415 pound-feet of torque, and it spins the rear wheels via a 10-speed automatic transmission. All-wheel-drive is offered at an extra cost, though keep in mind that Lincoln hasn't published the full list of changes it's making to the model for 2024 yet. Ditching the hybrid system means buyers now have three trims to choose from. Previously named Standard, the entry-level trim is called Premiere for 2024. The mid-range Reserve and the range-topping Black Label carry over. Pricing starts at $53,340 excluding destination. More details about the 2024 Lincoln Aviator should emerge in the coming weeks. Lincoln parent company Ford is axing the Explorer's available hybrid system in the civilian model as well. But the police version of the SUV is only available as a hybrid, and will continue to be. "To meet continued strong demand for the Ford Police Interceptor Utility hybrid and other Ford hybrid vehicles, the 2024-model-year Explorer will only be offered with the fuel-efficient 2.3-liter four-cylinder Ecoboost and the 3.0-liter EcoBoost V6. Those two engines account for the majority of Explorer sales," a spokesperson for the Blue Oval confirmed to Autoblog. There's no word on when or if the hybrid will return for civilian Explorers. Offered through 2023, the Explorer's optional gasoline-electric drivetrain was only available on the top-of-the-line Limited and Platinum variants. And, like the Aviator it's related to, the Explorer is expected to get a round of updates inside and out for the 2025 model year.
