I have a 1973 Ford F250 4 x 4 factory highboy restoration project for sale. This was a California truck that started out as a utility service vehicle. It is currently being put back together from a frame off tear down. The utility box was removed and sold, I then purchased a 1975 F250 supercab 4 x 2, for the full size bed box, and to use as a parts truck. The frame, axles, transfer case, and all suspension parts have been sand blasted. The frame and all suspension parts have been primed and painted with epoxy paint. The body parts for the cab to my knowledge are all original to the cab, and have been sanded and primed with high-build primer, ready for what little faring is necessary. The box was blasted and coated inside and under with POR-15, and has a new tailgate, (still have tailgate from parts truck) and a new side panel for passenger side that is ready to install, being POR-15 on inner wall and primed on outside surface. I have taken many pictures of every move I made on this project. I have every piece that was taken off of both vehicles. The original inner fenders, radiator support, and headlight parts are ready for priming. This was a rust free cab! Literally only one through hole on drivers side floor as big as a dime, and filled with a quarter sized patch, and I photographed it's repair. The truck came from the factory with a 360 motor, but had been replaced with a big block 460, that had a recent rebuild on it. I drove this truck onto the trailer and around before it's tear down. It drove from California to southern Wisconsin. It has the original 4 speed manual transmission, and I have a ZF 5 speed with overdrive and "granny" low, from a 1987 F350 that needs to get cleaned up, but works and is ready to ease the pain of the fuel economy
of the 460. With very little body filling to do this is ready for paint and reassembly. All of the hard parts of the project are done. I was going to strip down the motor and paint the block and other parts, so that needs to be done
as well. This is not your run of the mill Midwest mudding truck that is being re-done. It had good bones with zero cancer! The frame was blasted just to clean it, it had no rust or scale, other than surface oxidation.

Ford tells Congress it collects and protects some driver data
Fri, 14 Feb 2014Last month Ford's Jim Farley made waves at the CES when it was reported he told show attendees, "We have GPS in your car, so we know what you're doing. By the way, we don't supply that data to anyone." Farley and Ford later partially retracted and clarified that statement.
Spurred by a desire for further transparency on data collection policies, Ford representatives answered questions from Congress, specifically Senator Al Franken (D-Minn.), about driver privacy.
The Detroit News reports that Ford told Congress it does collect some vehicle location data in an effort to "troubleshoot and improve our products" on behalf of the driver. Ford went on to say that it only collects limited data after receiving permission from owners.
Volkswagen could outsell GM in China for the first time in nine years
Fri, 27 Dec 2013As of the end of November, Volkswagen had sold 70,000 more cars than General Motors in China in 2013, making it appear inevitable that VW will outsell GM there. The feat would return the German brand to the top of chart in China for the first time in nine years, but even the second-place getter won't be complaining too loudly: both automakers sold more than three million vehicles in a market pegged to hit 16 million sales this year.
Volkswagen said it could have sold more cars if it had had more production capacity in China. The arrival of a new-to-China Audi A4, a China-built A3 sedan, the VW Bora and Skoda Octavia, as well as an $18.2-billion-euro investment in the country to construct new factories, means VW should see its numbers grow in 2014. GM's lineup is expanding next year, too, adding four Chevrolet nameplates and two vehicles to its Baojun brand as it tries to get to five million in sales by 2015.
Among other automakers, Ford benefited from good product and woes for Japanese automakers over a territorial dispute with China, outselling Toyota by almost 32,000 units through the end of November. The Ford Focus is China's best-selling vehicle so far this year.
This Or That: Fiat 500 Abarth vs. Ford Fiesta ST [w/poll]

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.
