San Antonio, Texas, United States
Engine:390
Mileage: 45,102
Make: Ford
Exterior Color: Green and White
Model: F-250
Trim: Chrome
Drive Type: Automatic
My dad owned this classic truck in Alabama for about 30 years. It had a camper shell and carpet in the back when I was a kid. I remember a camping trip in the Smokey Mountains in it. He also effortlessly towed his race car to the drag strip with it. Smooth running 390 (automatic) with Ford electronic ignition (added from a later model). The engine was professionally rebuilt by my dad some years ago. The truck has always been well maintained. I drove it out here about a year ago and I no longer have room in my driveway for it. The following parts I replaced have less than 500 miles on them: water pump, brake booster and master cylinder, rear wheel cylinders. R front brake caliper and hose, front brake pads, alternator, regulator, brand new L front tire (rest of tires are good) Installed tri gauge cluster oil/volts/water, new battery/cables. All instruments on dash work. Everything works but the original radio. I put new door speakers and radio in it (no dash cutting). I plan on keeping the new radio unless buyer compells me otherwise. There are a few cracks in the dash pad, and no carpet (new carpet $145). Has siliding back glass. All rust is surface only. Dad removed auxillary fuel tank to make room for the dual exhaust so the hole in the side of the bed needs to be blocked off. Transmission leaks a little because it doesn't get driven regularly but shifts out perfectly when topped off. Windshield is cracked pretty bad and needs to be replaced. Trim items were replaced to prep for a paint job that never happened. All pieces are available.
Great old classic truck! Serious buyers only. Shipping NOT included

Ford Explorer, Expedition next to go aluminum?
Sun, 13 Apr 2014Ford made some serious waves when it unveiled the latest F-150. Instead of making its bodywork out of steel, like just about every other truck on the market, Ford went with aluminum. And you can bet the F-150 won't be the last Ford model to go with the lightweight alloy construction, either.
Our compatriots at Edmunds report that Dearborn is considering replacing two of its most popular SUVs with aluminum versions. One candidate is the Expedition, which would make sense considering that the current model (like the two preceding generations and the fullsize Bronco before it) is based on the F-150's underpinnings. Another is the Explorer, which was traditionally based on the Ranger pickup but went with a car-like unibody chassis in its current iteration. If the Explorer does go the way of aluminum, don't expect it to be a part of its very next update, which is likely due too soon for such major changes.
It would stand to reason that, if the Expedition were to go aluminum, so would the next-generation Lincoln Navigator. Ditto the MKT together with the Explorer. But those aren't likely to be the only models in contention for aluminum construction. Like any other automaker, Ford is under pressure to steadily reduce its carbon emissions and improve its fuel economy figures, prompting it to look at a whole range of measures - including more efficient engines, lower rolling-resistance tires, active aerodynamics and lightweight construction. Expect aluminum to play a big part in that equation moving forward.
2014 Roush Stage 3 Mustang
Fri, 26 Jul 2013Up until now, it's been some years since I managed to get behind the wheel of the hot Mustangs tuned by the folks at Roush Performance. My memories of those vehicles are fond, as the Roush up-fits usually make for better-driving examples of the iconic Ford pony, with better-tuned suspensions, excellent short-shift kits and, of course, huge additions of power. The wake-your-neighbors aural characteristics of these cars have been nothing short of outstanding, too.
But in the years since my last experience with the Roush formula, Ford's own development team has churned out some pretty potent 'Stangs. We currently live in a world where the Blue Oval will sell you a Mustang with 662 horsepower from the factory, and the recently departed Boss 302 remains one of the best Mustangs - and best sports coupes - the Autoblog crew has ever driven.
So with great-driving and hugely powerful Mustangs coming straight off the line at Ford's Flat Rock Assembly Plant, does the Roush package still offer that extra special something to make it stand out? I spent a week with a Stage 3 coupe to find out.
EU formally questions French government assistance of Peugeot's finance arm
Fri, 28 Dec 2012Recently, the finance arm of PSA/Peugeot-Citroën was in such debt trouble that it was pricing itself out of the car loan market. The rates it was paying to service its debt, which was rated one step above junk, were so high that it was forced to charge car-buying customers higher rates than they could find elsewhere. This was adding to Peugeot's already impressive woes by sending revenue out the door to competitors.
Two months ago a deal was worked out with the French government whereby the state would provide 7 billion euro ($9 billion USD) in bonds to guarantee the finance arm's loans. The French government could nominate someone to join the Peugeot board, Peugeot would guarantee more French jobs, and on top of that deal, other banks would provide non-guaranteed loans. The government would take no equity stake in the car company.
Although not yet finalized, the arrangement is meant to create some breathing room for Peugeot Finance to lower its interest rates for customers, and a government-nominated board member, Louis Gallois, was recently named to Peugeot's supervisory board. The arrangement was also openly questioned by at least three competitors: Ford, Renault - which is 15-percent owned by the French government after it received state aid - and the German state of Lower Saxony, itself a 15-percent shareholder in Volkswagen.
