This truck has so much work done to list. I have owned this truck now since 2007 and when I purchased it, it was in poor shape (however no rust.) I have spent thousands of dollars and countless hours restoring this rust free truck. I went with an origial Ford color from 2005 Ford Zinc Yellow...from the pictures you can see the paint was done right! The body was pulled off the truck and POR-15 Rust Inhibitive coating was sprayed on undercarriage. All new Rancho RS9000 shocks were installed along with Fabritech ladder bars in the rear. The front DANA44 was rebuilt and a Detroit Locker installed with an ARB Red differential cover. Most of the undercarriage parts that came off including front coil springs, brackets for shocks and mounts were all powder coated. Front coil spings were powder coated Red. All new Grade 8 hardware installed everywhere as well as stainless steel. New exhaust ran with MagnaFlow stainless mufflers. Brakes were all gone through and new HAWK SuperDuty brake pads installed up front with new Red Powder Coated calipers along with Earl stainless brake lines. Truck has all stainless steel brake lines throughout truck! The Ford 9" rear end has new bearings along with a limited slip differential which makes it run on highways and streets smooth. The Ford 400M motor was rebuilt and rebuilt Aussie closed chamber heads were installed to wake up the motor. Edelbrock cam was installed along with Edelbrock intake manifold and street avenger carburetor. Most parts off motor were also powder coated. A new Saginaw power steering pump was installed and really removed the old Ford power steering problems. A new chrome alternator was also installed along with a Optima RedTop battery. All new wiring and cables installed in motor compartment. Aluminum pulleys were also installed. Headlights were also installed with new halogen style bulbs and wiring kit to brighten headlights. New aluminum Ford grill was installed. All front end wheel wells and radiator housing was pulled off and powder coated black. New hood springs installed along with all new rubber moldings for doors, hood, and glass. Alpine CD player installed with USB hook up. The old Ford gauges were replaced with a custom bezel and new AutoMeter Z gauges. All LED Green lighting installed inside all gauges to match stock look with a brighter LED light. The drivetrain was also gone through and the NP435 manual transmission was rebuilt and a new CenterForce clutch installed with a Ranger 27% overdrive. The Ranger overdrive is awesome and allows for highway cruising at low RPM's so better fuel economy. At 75MPH the engine idles at 2100 RPM's which is much better for cruising. The NP205 transfer case was also rebuilt. The driveshafts were also renewed with new u-joints and sleeves along with new yokes. This truck trully has been renewed. There really is too much to list here. Interior also has new carpet with insulation. Also has Corbeau Moab seats that are comfortable. New seat beats (lap beats as that what was stock in 73.) Grant leather steering wheel and aluminum kit installed. Interior trim and headliner are all new. The air conditioning doesn't work and parts were removed during motor restoration. Heater works awesome and new heater core and hoses installed. There is an electric fan and four core radiator that keeps the motor running cool through all conditions. Tires and wheels are in awesome shape and compliment the truck. I hope I have captured most of the work put into this truck. This sale is an as is sale. I do have a Word document list of all work done and when to the truck along with a lot of part numbers.

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.
Ford Fiesta becomes UK all-time best seller
Thu, 24 Jul 2014We may regard Ford as an American automaker, but ask a Brit and they may tell you otherwise. The Blue Oval has, after all, been selling cars in the UK since 1903, and started manufacturing there as far back as 1911 when it began local production of the Model T in Manchester. Last year Ford ended 100 years of vehicle manufacturing in the UK when the last Transit van rolled off the assembly line in Southampton, but it's still the biggest-selling automotive marque in Britain.
Ford has led the British market for 34 out of the past 45 years, selling more Fiestas than any other company sells any other car in the UK since 2009... when it overtook the Focus. In fact the Fiesta has now become the best-selling car in British history, topping 4,115,000 units since its introduction in 1976. The previous record was held by - you guessed it - another Ford: the Escort sold 4,105,961 units over the course of its 32 years on the British market.
Although the Fiesta is no longer manufactured in the UK (previous versions having been built at Dagenham until 2002), engines are: the EcoBoost line was developed at the company's R&D center in Essex and are built at the factory in Dunton, while its diesel engines were developed at Dagenham in East London. Even the 1.6-liter EcoBoost engine in the Fiesta ST is built in South Wales.
Creations n' Chrome Top Notch Mustang is a one-of-a-kind fox
Thu, 07 Nov 2013Is there a cooler car from the 1980s and early 90s to mod than a Fox-body Ford Mustang? No, there isn't. If you disagree with us, we suggest you have a look at this 1990 Mustang Coupe, which just might change your mind. Although considering just how extensively modified this car - the Top Notch Mustang from Creations n' Chrome - is, we wonder just how much Ford is left in this old pony.
It rides on a custom race tube chassis that weighs a scant 700 pounds, while carbon-fiber bits and bobs help lower the overall curb weight to a mere 2,400 pounds. When paired with supercharged, 5.0-liter, Aluminator V8 from Ford Racing, the results are, doubtlessly, exciting. 855 horsepower at the rear wheels and 667 pound-feet of torque are available from that force-fed V8 should be just plenty for this car's intended purpose of running in standing-mile competitions.
The Top Notch Mustang is more extreme than just weight savings and a big engine, though. That 5.0-liter is essentially in what's known as a front-mid layout - where the engine is actually behind the front axle. In this case, the 5.0-liter V8 is 17 inches further back than a factory Fox-body, for better weight distribution. As a result, the cabin has been completely overhauled. An SLA front suspension, wheels from HRE, Wilwood brakes and Sparco interior items round out the extensive list of mods.
