Up for auction is my 1995 Ford F-150 Lightning. Red in color and the standard gray and lightning seats with the flip up middle seat. The tuck runs strong, shifts firm, and has no unusual noises. It stops and drives great, will really hug a curve. It is a rust free truck and the paint overall has full color with a few minor rock chips here and there from 18 years of age. One thing that I think is pretty amazing, the wheels have no clearcoat peeling or hardly any chips and the decals are still bright with no cracking. The interior is in great shape with no tears, stains, or cracks in the cloth, vinyl, or plastic. The vent windows do not leak. It has had a roll pan added to the rear instead of the tube bumper, which has a hidden hitch behind the license plate. It also has keyless entry, to which two remotes are included. Tires are knee deep in tread. All electrical options work as they should. I bought the truck last September and have put about 4,000 miles on it. I have used to pull a trailer some, took it a couple of times to my cabin which is about 200 miles round trip, so I am confident that the truck could be driven anywhere. It appears that it has been maintained and took care of very well in its life previous to my ownership. The reason I think so is because of its condition, it has an actual Motorcraft Max battery on it, and when I got it, it had a oil change sticker from a Ford dealership. When I purchased it, I serviced and greased it, put on a new fuel filter, and changed plugs, cap and rotor. Its been in a garage or carport since I got it. Here are some things that were already done to it when I got it: electric fan, new exhaust run all the way to the back with turn downs, aftermarket pop-up sun roof which does NOT leak, in-dash fuel gauge, a-pillar triple gauge pod with a vacuum/boost gauge, and I am pretty sure a shift kit was put in the transmission. Other than that, it is bone stock down to the air filter. Here are the only flaws of the truck: If you are driving in town with stop and go traffic very much with no air flow through the condenser, the air conditioner does not cool well. I'm not sure if it has to do with the electric fan or if it has a vacuum leak somewhere, it has not bothered me enough to investigate it further. But if you are cruising, or don't have to stop for very long, it will freeze you out. It has a pretty good scratch that can be seen in the pictures on the tailgate from a trailer coming off the ball when I loaded a big wagon on the back of it last fall. I was pretty sick that day. The paint on the front bumper, grille, and roll pan are trying fade a little from the sun. Other than that, it is a very fun, usable truck that you could pull a fishing boat or small trailer or take it to a show. I really planned on gettng on the Hot Rod Power tour this year with it, but just didnt make it. You won't be disappointed in this truck! I reserve the right to end this auction at any time as it is for sale locally. The buyer is to contact me to arrange complete payment details within 24 hours of the auction end.

2014 Ford Fiesta 1.0L EcoBoost to hit 45 mpg for $16,445*
Mon, 28 Oct 2013When Ford first announced its plan to put the 1.0-liter EcoBoost three-cylinder engine under the hood of the 2014 Fiesta, it promised hybrid-like fuel economy without a hybrid-like premium. We're still waiting for official specs on this engine, but thanks to the EPA's fueleconomy.gov website and Ford's retail site, we now know what customers can expect in terms of both fuel economy and price.
All along, Ford has said that it expects the 1.0-liter EcoBoost to get more than 40 miles per gallon on the highway, and now the EPA backs this up with official ratings of 32 mpg in the city and 45 mpg on the highway. These numbers are an increase of two mpg city and four mpg hwy compared to the current fuel-sipping Fiesta (the 1.6 SFE), and it also beats other three-cylinder cars for highway mileage like the 2014 Mitsubishi Mirage (44 mpg highway) and 2014 Smart Fortwo (38 mpg highway); the Fiesta 1.0 EcoBoost is lower than both three-pot rivals, though, in city fuel economy with the Mitsubishi getting 37 mpg city and the Smart rated at 34 mpg city. This model handily beats high-volume small cars like the Honda Fit, Toyota Yaris and Chevy Spark in both city and highway numbers.
As for pricing, the 1.0-liter EcoBoost is offered on both the sedan and hatchback as a $995 option called the SE Manual EcoBoost package, which is aptly named since it's only offered on SE trim-level Fiestas equipped with a manual transmission. Along with the engine, the package also comes with 15-inch steel wheels, regenerative brakes and a decklid spoiler on the sedan. This means the four-door Fiesta 1.0 EcoBoost will start at $16,445*, or $17,045* for the hatchback (*not including $795 for destination).
First Ford Mustang prototype shots caught by legendary spy shooter Jim Dunne
Fri, 12 Apr 2013You know how people refer to someone as having "been around the block" to mean they're very experienced? Well, when it comes to automotive spy photography, Jim Dunne actually laid down the concrete slabs of the block's sidewalk. The unforgettable Dunne more or less invented the car spy game - a fact he cemented by writing book called Car Spy - and has been delivering spy shots and reporting on the industry for some 45 years now. (He also once employed this writer as his impromptu personal chauffer on a Volkswagen trip in Germany, while he slept, but that's a story for a different time.)
In any event, Dunne must be on a mission to prove that "elder statesman" doesn't also mean "washed up" as it is his shots of the upcoming new 2014 Ford Mustang that we've been handed by our friends at KGP Photography.
Mr. Dunne has likely spent the last few years obtaining powerful telescopic lenses, as the Ford in question has clearly been photographed from some distance. Nevertheless, what you see here is visual evidence that the sixth-generation Mustang has moved beyond the mule stage, and is now testing in proper prototype form. Sources indicate that there are production-spec body panels under that baggy canvass dress; but the slightly less bulky silhouette of the new car can be just made out. While the car's bumpers have been removed to obfuscate things, we can tell by way of the camo's apertures that the car's taillights have moved upwards and towards the lip of the tail. A fender vent appears to be visible, too, just behind the front wheel.
Car companies used to cook up sales with recipe books
Fri, 08 Aug 2014The evolution of automotive marketing has undergone a number of strange phases. Few, though, match the strangeness of the 1930s to 1950s, when automotive marketers turned to cookbooks as a means of promoting their vehicles. Yes, cookbooks. We can't make this stuff up, folks.
This bizarre trend led to General Motors distributing cookbooks under the guise of its then-subsidiary Frigidaire. Ford, meanwhile, offered a compilation of recipes from Ford Credit Employees (shown above). The cookbook-craze wasn't limited to domestic manufacturers, though. As The Detroit News discovered, both Rolls-Royce and Volkswagen got in on the trend, although not until the 1970s.
The News has the full story on this strange bit of marketing. Head over and take a look.
