Up for auction is a very clean 1970 F-100 that I purchased from the original owner, who lovingly maintained it all these years. Truck is a cream yellow color with a black interior. The interior is in excellent condition, outside of the carpet which could use replacing. The dash pad and dash board look about new, as does the seat and door panels. The original owner added several accessories such as a vintage Radio Shack AM/FM/cassette deck, a CB radio, electronic brake controller, and utilized the existing dash switches to control the front mounted fog lights, as well as lighting and speakers in the camper shell. The three spoke steering wheel with horn ring is also in great shape! Truck is powered by a 302 2-barrel engine that was installed in 2001 according to the receipt (and only has about 4700 miles on it now), smooth shifting C4 automatic transmission, and a 9" Ford rear axle with 3.00 gears and posi-traction. Truck also has power steering and power drum brakes. The original owner wanted this truck ready to 'go' at all times, therefore everything under the hood appears to be in great shape. I have converted the truck from points ignition to electronic via a Pertronix Ignitor. Truck has dual 2" exhaust with quiet glass-pack mufflers and chrome tips. The body is very clean, although there are a few dings and scratches here and there as the truck was used for camping, etc. The early 70s aluminum camper shell is in great condition, and there is a carpet kit installed in the bed. Truck also has an aftermarket wind-visor installed with functional running lights, dual CB antennas, dual chrome door mirrors, and mud flaps at all four corners. A vintage bug deflector is installed on the hood too. The super rare American Racing wheels are very unique, they were made in 1976 and have real wood inserts in them!!!!! There is a spare tire with a spare American Racing wheel that matches the ones on the truck, and a set of spare centers are included (spares are plastic though...). USA made tires are near new as well. The truck has a few minor issues that I have noticed. First the doors could use new anti-rattle kits installed as the windows are slightly loose and rattle and have wind noise at speed. Second, there is some rust in the crossmember under the cab on the drivers side (cab mounts are perfect as owner would keep oily rags stuffed in the cab mounts to keep them from rusting). There is also some rust in the inner fenders in the usual spots...... Third, the original windshield has a few rock chips in it. The truck also really needs a complete and thorough detailing job to look it's best, and probably a little mechanical maintenance as the truck has sat much more then it has driven.....though truck has been very reliable for me when I have driven it. This truck is not perfect, but it is a clean and cared for example of the 68-72 F-100 generation. I never planned on selling it, but medical bills say otherwise! Please email with questions and thanks for looking!

First Ford Mustang prototype shots caught by legendary spy shooter Jim Dunne
Fri, 12 Apr 2013You know how people refer to someone as having "been around the block" to mean they're very experienced? Well, when it comes to automotive spy photography, Jim Dunne actually laid down the concrete slabs of the block's sidewalk. The unforgettable Dunne more or less invented the car spy game - a fact he cemented by writing book called Car Spy - and has been delivering spy shots and reporting on the industry for some 45 years now. (He also once employed this writer as his impromptu personal chauffer on a Volkswagen trip in Germany, while he slept, but that's a story for a different time.)
In any event, Dunne must be on a mission to prove that "elder statesman" doesn't also mean "washed up" as it is his shots of the upcoming new 2014 Ford Mustang that we've been handed by our friends at KGP Photography.
Mr. Dunne has likely spent the last few years obtaining powerful telescopic lenses, as the Ford in question has clearly been photographed from some distance. Nevertheless, what you see here is visual evidence that the sixth-generation Mustang has moved beyond the mule stage, and is now testing in proper prototype form. Sources indicate that there are production-spec body panels under that baggy canvass dress; but the slightly less bulky silhouette of the new car can be just made out. While the car's bumpers have been removed to obfuscate things, we can tell by way of the camo's apertures that the car's taillights have moved upwards and towards the lip of the tail. A fender vent appears to be visible, too, just behind the front wheel.
Fitting Retirement: Grand Marquis last Mercury off the line
Wed, 05 Jan 2011The signs have come down and retail production ended back in October of 2010. Now, the very last Mercury model has rolled off the assembly line. This last Mercury somewhat fittingly takes the form of a Grand Marquis reporting for fleet duty. It was built at the St. Thomas plant in Ontario, Canada, which is the same facility that continues to produce the Ford Crown Victoria and Lincoln Town Car for fleet and livery duty.
St. Thomas' days are numbered, however, as the factory is slated to close on August 31. When it goes, the Panther platform is likely to follow. So long, and thanks for all the fish memories.

Ford Transit gets outfitted for prison duty
Wed, 24 Sep 2014Between the Taurus-based Police Interceptor, the Explorer-based Police Interceptor Utility and the F-150 and Expedition special service vehicles, Ford has no lack of offerings for law enforcement. And now it has one more in the form of the new Transit PTV.
Based on the fullsize Transit van, the Prisoner Transport Vehicle can move as many as 12 prisoners in three separate compartments between detention facilities. Created in collaboration with Pennsylvania-based Havis Prisoner Transport Solutions and with input from Ford's Police Advisory Board, the Transit PTV takes advantage of the Transit's considerable configuration options that include three roof heights, two wheelbases, three lengths and four body-styles - not to mention engine options that include the flex-fuel 3.7-liter V6, 3.5-liter EcoBoost and 3.2-liter Power Stroke diesel.
"Transit PTV is the latest example of Ford's deep commitment to helping provide law enforcement agencies with capable vehicles. This concept proves Transit is upfit-ready and designed to Built Ford Tough standards," said Jonathan Honeycutt, Ford police marketing manager. "Many Police Advisory Board members have had the chance to drive this vehicle and they are excited about it. This new vehicle is tough, smart and efficient - ideal for the needs of law enforcement agencies."
