1966 Ford F100 Restomod Hot Rod on 2040-cars
Dodge City, Kansas, United States
You are currently bidding on a “one of one” kustom, hot rod truck. This road proven, 1966 Ford F100 short bed pickup is channeled over a 1998 Mercury Grand Marquis chassis, floor pan and running gear has right at 10,000 miles since built. This truck has that clean, low profile look. Satin black paint (NOT PRIMER), and a low, lean, aggressive stance, gives it that old skool, rat rod look. This stance is accomplished the right way. The body is
channeled over the existing Grand Marquis chassis and maintains the OEM floor
pan. The suspension remains stock, (NO CUT SPRINGS) and uses original Grand Marquis
parts for ease of maintenance. This truck is powered by a Fuel Injected 4.6L V8 with
automatic, overdrive transmission. The factory Mercury wiring harness is still
complete and unmolested. The OBD2 port is still available for use with the scan
tools that shops use for code reading.
It also utilizes the factory original Grand Marquis rear differential. All-wheel, power disc brakes and power
steering makes this truck very driver friendly.
Mounted on the factory Mercury firewall, is the still stock Grand
Marquis Dash. This allows for A/C, cruise, original functioning gauges, and a
Pioneer CD player, with remote. You and
a friend can get comfortable in brand new, Procar Mustang style, low-back
bucket seats.
The exterior has some very clean subtle features, as well. Gloss black wheels, with chrome Spider Caps, give just enough shine to accent this blacked out cruiser. Narrow whitewalls on tires with less than 100 miles give that old skool, kustom look. Tinted windows carry the “murdered out” theme, throughout the truck. Tint is 35%, which is standard in most places. Some other features are a custom steel roll pan, Frenched power retractable antenna, and LED tail lights. When you want to lift the kustom tonneau cover, there is an air tank and air cylinder, to do so with ease. Underneath, you will find a brand new, roll in bed liner. Also, the truck comes with the original Grand Marquis spare tire. This is a very nice, quality built truck, and has a National Street Rod Association Safety Approval. It has all the amenities of a new, production car, while carrying the look of an old skool, kustom hot rod. Whether you are looking for your next daily driver hot rod or your next Power Tour ride, you have found the right truck! I would drive this hot rod anywhere!

Ford books $1.2B profit in second quarter on strength of trucks
Wed, 24 Jul 2013Ford is rolling along nicely, with a positive second-quarter sales report and a $2.3 billion profit in North America. The Dearborn, Michigan-based manufacturer captured $1.2 billion globally from April to June, with a $177 million profit in Asia. Even in Europe, the land of doom and gloom for automakers not named Mazda, Ford saw some success as it lowered its expected full-year loss from $2 billion to $1.8 billion. The company lost $348 million in Europe during the second quarter, which, believe it or not, represents a $56-million improvement over 2012.
According to the report on CNBC, Ford enjoyed a three-percent increase in pre-market trading thanks to the news. The strong demand for the F-150 propelled growth in the US market, while Ford's 47-percent increase in Asian sales can be attributed to the new EcoSport crossover and Kuga (Ford Escape in the US) arriving in the somewhat fragile Chinese market.
Pre-tax profits for Ford are expected to be in the neighborhood of $8 billion by the end of the year, with sales the US, Europe, and China all looking up. The company also shifted $4.78 billion of asset-backed debt in the form of bonds, according to a report by Bloomberg. This move came amidst rumors of the Federal Reserve cutting back on its $85-billion-per-month bond purchases. Ford wasn't alone among automakers looking to sell off debt, though, as Mercedes-Benz and Nissan shifted around $1 billion each in bonds relating to auto loans.
BMW to follow Honda back into F1?
Mon, 14 Apr 2014The economic downturn wrought devastating effects on motor racing. Formula One alone lost half its engine suppliers when Honda left at the end of the 2008 season, and both BMW and Toyota followed at the end of 2009. But things are looking up again. Cosworth may have dropped out this season, reducing the engine suppliers to three: Ferrari, Renault and Mercedes, the latter of which admits that it may have left had the engine formula not changed. But Mercedes has stayed and is dominating the championship. Honda is coming back next season. And word around the paddock is it may not be the only one.
According to Giancarlo Minardi - founder of the team now known as Scuderia Toro Rosso - BMW engineers have been conspicuously spotted lately at F1 test sessions and grands prix, lending to speculation that the new engine regulations may entice the Bavarian automaker back into the series. According to Minardi, BMW's marketing division is pushing for the automaker's return to F1, with the board slated to make a decision in May. BMW would be more likely to consider an engine-supply deal rather than taking a team over like it had with Sauber, but with which team or teams it might collaborate remains a big question mark at this point.
As if that's not enough, Ford is said to be considering taking over Cosworth's aborted V6 turbo engine program to take both outfits back into the sport as well. Cosworth supplied F1 engines under the Ford banner for years, but returned under its own name for four seasons from 2010 through 2013 before shuttering its program to develop an engine to meet the new regulations adopted this season.
Ford gives S-Max the Vignale treatment in Milan
Wed, 09 Apr 2014Ford has a bit of a history in reviving the names of old coachbuilders it has long since gobbled up and using them to distinguish its top-of-the-line models in Europe. That's what it did for years with Ghia, and after having replaced it several years ago with the Titanium trim level, now it's doing it again with Vignale.
At the Frankfurt Motor Show last year, Ford revealed the Mondeo Vignale concept in both sedan and wagon body-styles, which are set to reach production next year. But before they do, the Blue Oval automaker is at it again, applying similar upgrades to the S-Max minivan and unveiling it in concept form in Milan this week.
Setting the Vignale concept apart from any other S-Max is its Milano Grigio rose-hued silver pearlescent paint, 21-inch alloys, chrome trim and hexagonal-pattern grille. Inside it's all ultra-soft quilted leather and aluminum trim, with tablet docking stations in the back and thinner, more flexible seats than the existing production version.
