I think he said he had <$1,000 in the project. so, if a motor with that old of technology can put out #'s like that, and still get amazing HP, TQ and MPG, what makes a 500 hp "sport" F-250 so special?
I personally don't like the truck for auction. My reasoning is that it is "rebuilt" titled and the write-up sounds sleazy. And it is kinda ugly. These new body styles favor the Scab and Screw cabs. And yes, I am quite happy every time I step into my 1 of 1,000,000 F-150. I've personalized it somewhat, and will continue to.
