Looks like either Ebay pulled it, or he did. Link doesn't work anymore.

"WOW. Just did a search for it and it looks like an impressive motor. International i believe is gonna make it. I read somewhere its gonna have 400 HP!!!!!!!"

Kind of hard to predict. Diesel forums have some of the biggest lies and myths you'll ever see. Everybody is getting a CAT motor, Dodge will drop Cummins, Ford owns Cummins, blah blah blah.

I imagine they're planning on beefing it up for more torque than the Cummins and the Duracrack GM diesel, probably using sequential twin turbos to widen the powerband, and upping the transmission. I wouldn't doubt seeing this one able to tow over 20,000lbs. They're also improving on the EGR and injector problems that the 6.0L initially had. Basically this one will put out a good bit more power and fix some of the current probs. with the 6.0. They're going to up it to a 6.7L to meet 2010 regulations.

Getting a new 6.4L Twin Turbo diesel and the frame is a beefed up version of the fully boxed frame you see on the new F-150. Gets interior update and I think more exterior styling updates as well. Though the current Super Duty is pretty sexy as it is, it just looks like a truck.

I'm not a big fan of the F-150, considering if you compare a base F-150 to a base F-250, the F-250 is only approx. $400 more. Plus the F-250 is solid front axle which i like :D . Not too fond of the styling either.

Im on the search for an F-250 diesel. Thats what i wanna get once i finally graduate from college. That and a motorcycle, then ill be set for a while.

I liked the 2002 Chevy trucks. After that they are junk.

Not a huge fan of the F-150, but the F-250's really get my gears turning. The dodges are alright, but they need to work on their drivetrains. The cummins is the only thing i like about the dodges.

They planned on building that car on the Zeta platform (w/ Camaro), then they axed the Zeta platform to push their trucks and SUVs across. Their trucks do need a serious improvement, but I haven't seen a lot of promise from the upcoming trucks. Still not the appeal of an F-150 or Ram.

that is a car i would buy in a second ill never understand y they cant produce the car above. i guess they couldnt work there cost reductions into it or something.

You know, if Buick would have gotten a clue and produced this:

you could get some serious tang in it. THAT'S a Buick

It's sad that American automakers can make gorgeous concepts that seem like the perfect perception of what a car should be, then if it makes production it turns into a cheap looking pile of crap. Lincoln had a Continental concept a couple of years ago that way droolworthy. I could understand if the car can't look like that because of a price point, but it's just sheet metal, a Dodge Neon is shaped the same way that an Aston Marton DB9 is.

thats an ugly car :( i like the wheels/tires though.

why doesn't he just outright say "West Coast Choppers" and "MTV"? is that not allowwed? "Worlds greatest Car Customizers"...."Most favoriate TV show" thas funny.

Hm..those caps with the digital voltage readout fail all the time. If that is actual voltage with a 200 Amp H.O. alt and 4 extra batts.....the alt is definitely shot.

Cool car though. I love the funky pup pink, like so.
