A one of a kind '70 Ford F100 2wd shortbed. This truck runs great. I hate to sell, but I have too many projects. The body is in good condition with no major rust issues.  The shortbed is relatively rare and desireable (over the longbed). I drive this truck almost daily with no issues. I put a new gas tank in it a couple years ago and change the oil regularly. This would be a great truck to restore or just drive it as is. It has a great running 351W with a manual 3spd transmission. Tires are 60% or better. I've owned it for 6 years and it's a fun truck that gets lots of looks!  Keep in mind, this is a 43 year old truck.  It is not perfect, however, this is a very driveable truck and great base for a restoration or just enjoy it the way it is.  The bed is solid with one area at the very front right corner of the bed where it has rusted through (this is included in the pictures--see the middle of the pic for the bad spot),but the bed is structurally sound.  I do have a bedliner which is also pictured.  Usually I keep the bedliner on the truck, but took it off for the pictures.  There is zero to no rust along the bottom edge of the doors (shown in pics).  The passenger side floor pan should probably be replaced or patched at some point, but I've seen worse (also pictured).  The odometer reads about 55K but this is probably not accurate.  The motor is a 351W which is not original to the truck.  It is a rebuild which was put in at some point by the previous owner.  I have no idea how many miles are on it, but it runs ver well and starts every time.

I started replacing body parts (which explains the "custom" paint job) with the intention of doing a restore.   However, I stumbled across something else along the way.  So, some other lucky person will get to finish this project.

**One item of note--Clearly I've replaced some parts.  When I replaced the doors, I forgot to pull the data plate off of the old door, so the VIN on the current data plate does not match the VIN on the frame.  The VIN on the frame does match the VIN on the title.  This is why car makers stamp VINs on frames--thankfully...  Not a huge issue, but I wanted to be upfront about this.

Ford only automaker to make 2012 Buzz Rankings, Toyota most improved

Wed, 30 Jan 2013

Ford landed itself a spot among the top 10 brands in the 2012 Buzz Rankings. The annual index scores 1,100 brands in 41 categories to determine which nameplates had the most positive buzz throughout the year.
For the third year in a row, Subway took the top honors overall with a score of 40.3, and Ford was the only automaker to break into the top 25 by earning a sixth-place finish overall. The manufacturer earned a score of 32.1 points, which was enough to push it up one spot from the 2011 Buzz Rankings. Honda managed 21.2 points overall, which is still well behind 25th-place Kohl's at 26.5 points. Toyota, Volkswagen and BMW all round out the top five automakers.
The 2012 Buzz Rankings also keep track of which brands improved the most over the past year, and this year, Toyota was the manufacturer with the largest leap forward. The Japanese automaker jumped from just 14 points in 2011 to 20.5 in 2012. Chrysler, Kia, Dodge and Volkswagen all saw sizable steps forward as well. Be sure to head over to the Brand Index site for more information.

Ford Mustang Shelby GT500 has a bit of a dyno issue

Tue, 28 May 2013

We're of the mind that each and every dyno should come with Murphy's Law painted in big, visible letters down the side. For every ten successful dyno runs out there, it seems there's one where events to horribly wrong. Take, for example, the video below. The clip shows what happens when a Ford Shelby GT500 and a mobile dyno have a bit of a disagreement at the Performance Expo 24 in Sherbrooke, Quebec. We won't spoil the results for you, but we will say there's some substantial carnage involved.
It's unclear just how much damage ensues from the dust up or whether anyone was harmed in the incident, but from the looks of things, everyone made it out without serious injury. If only we could say the same for the machines involved. Check out the video below.

Exceptionally rare '65 Ford GT40 Roadster prototype up for auction

Sat, 14 Jun 2014

Think of mid-engined supercars and your mind is bound to gravitate towards Europe, but the United States has been known to make a handful from time to time - exceptional vehicles from the likes of Vector, SSC, Mosler, Hennessey, and Saleen. But long before any of those came around, Ford famously became obsessed with beating Ferrari at its own game, leading to the development of the iconic GT40.
The story is well known, sending Ford to the checkered flag at Le Mans four times in a row in the late 1960s. Ford and Shelby also built over 100 for public consumption, but just four of them were roadsters. Of those only one remains in original condition, and now that exceedingly rare example going up for auction.
Consigned to RM Auctions for its mid-August sale during Pebble Beach weekend in Monterey, California, this 1965 model is the first GT40 Roadster built. It was used as a development and demonstration vehicle for Ford and Shelby. Carroll Shelby himself drove Henry Ford II in this very car during one of many test and demo events, this time held for Ford's board of directors in Los Angeles.
