Marine, Illinois, United States

Up for sale is my 1964 Ford F100 Short Bed Pick-Up. It has a 1985 ford 302 V8 with a matching 1985 Ford C-5 automatic transmission. It shifts smooth, runs nice and has a list of new parts. I have replaced the distributor cap and rotor, valve covers, valve cover gaskets, transmission pan gaskets, transmission fluid, engine oil, oil filter, spark plugs and wires, it has newer tires with about 75-80% tread left, a new horn, electronic fuel pump, radiator cap, gas cap, battery, battery terminals, and I had a power rack and pinion steering kit from No-Limit Engineering installed, which before labor cost right around $900, and I also had power brakes put on it. The brakes are power drum brakes. I also had it painted when I bought it, which was about 6 or 7 years ago. The paint is not the greatest. There is some paint damage around the gas cap, which you can see in the pictures, the day after I had it painted gas leaked out and it ate through the paint because I parked the truck on a hill after I filled the truck up with gas. It happened 6 years ago, it hasn't gotten worse over time, I replaced the gas cap and the leak was no more. The rubber ring on the inside of the cap was dry rotted.

The paint is the worst thing about the truck. I haven't gotten it repainted because I spent the money to get it painted and I didn't see any reason to go ahead and fork out the money to get it repainted again because of the stupid gas cap. Anyway, I have quite a bit of time and money into my truck and if it sells it sells. I reserve the right to end the auction early if it sells locally and if you wish to contact me and you are in the local area and have something you think I might want to trade from the 50's or 60s, give me a ring. 660-909-2907

Ford to announce Mulally retirement, Fields CEO as early as May 1

Mon, 21 Apr 2014

Ford CEO Alan Mulally may be about to announce his long-rumored retirement from the Blue Oval, according to a pair of insiders who spoke to Bloomberg. An official statement on the succession could arrive as soon as May 1. Chief Operating Officer Mark Fields is rumored to step up as the new CEO. The company is said to be readying the announcement soon to ensure an orderly transition of power, according to the insiders.
Mulally's retirement from Ford has been a hot topic for a while. He was seriously rumored last year to be leaving the automaker to take over as the CEO of Microsoft. The board even said at one point that it was okay with them if he stepped down early. However, the CEO maintained he would stay with the business through at least the end of 2014. Fields has been rumored as a frontrunner to take over the top spot at the company since he was promoted to COO.
For the moment, Ford isn't officially confirming any of these plans. "We don't comment on speculation. We do have succession plans in place for our key leadership. We take succession planning very seriously," said Susan Krusel, Ford Global News Manager, to Autoblog.

1969 Ford Talladega GPT Special is a SEMA showstopper

Thu, 07 Nov 2013

Rad Rides by Troy has unleashed upon the SEMA crowds this custom 1969 Ford Torino Talladega GT Special, and it's a beauty. The car calls to mind the classic Holman Moody stock cars that circled NASCAR tracks in the late 1960's, driven by the likes of Mario Andretti, Dan Gurney and David Pearson, who won the Grand National title in both 1968 and '69 in a Ford Torino.
Even though it has plenty of stock-car influence, there's nothing retro about the car's design or powertrain, other than the fact that the engine is based on a Ford Boss 429 block. Fuel injection, aftermarket aluminum heads and a high-tech custom computer system combine to send 750 reliable ponies to the rear wheels through a Tremec five-speed manual transmission. Brakes measure 14-inches all around, with six-piston Wilwood calipers up front and four-piston units out back.
There's custom bodywork abound, painted in a two-tone Tennessee Whiskey Gold and Daytona Sand finish. Check out all the amazing details in the image gallery below, and scroll down to read all about it in designer Troy Trepanier's own words.

This Or That: Fiat 500 Abarth vs. Ford Fiesta ST [w/poll]

Thu, 21 Aug 2014



They're pretty darn similar. And yet our views are oh so different.
If you guys could read the transcripts of our editors' chat room, you'd know that we're a pretty argumentative bunch. It's always good-spirited stuff (well, usually), but when we're not obsessively covering this or that, we're usually fighting about one car being better than another. We're all enthusiasts here, and our automotive tastes run the gamut from the weird and unusual to the decidedly mainstream - we all feel strongly about specific cars in a given segment. While it usually makes for good conversation, if we're passionate enough, it can turn into a tomato-throwing showdown.
