I have owned this truck for 20 years. Purchasing it in August of 1994 from a man that brought it to Michigan from Soddy-Daisy, Tennessee. It has the factory 6-Volt electrical sys., the 226 cu.in., 6-Cylinder, 95 hp, flathead engine, with 6.8:1 compression ratio, 1 barrel carb., 3.73:1 axle ration and the "Non"- Synchromesh factory 4-speed transmission w/ granny gear.

The restoration was done in 1993, when the flat glass was replaced, fiberglass running boards were installed, red oak bed boards installed and the truck was painted in single stage Black.

I have had the carb, generator and radiator rebuilt, along with having the gas tank dipped & coated. Replaced the distributor cap, rotor, points, plugs & wires along with the belt and hoses ( general tune-ups ) over the years.

I added a Dennis Carpenter 'RED' headliner / kick panel kit, along with beauty rings and hub caps and a quality 'California' brand truck cover.

Note: The engine runs strong but is wound tight between 55- 60 mph with the factory flathead power train and the factory 3.73:1 gear. Last but not least I have all receipts dating back to 1993.

PS: Note to those of you who I have told I would re-list the truck on June 25th. I have been changing over to a new Internet Provider. If any of you are entertaining this 'think it over again', this is the first day in 5 days that I have been able to connect to the internet for any extended period of time. It will drive you nuts !

Former Ford CEO Alan Mulally lands on Google board

Wed, 16 Jul 2014

Former Ford CEO Alan Mulally often referred to the Blue Oval as a technology company when he led the automaker. Now he'll be offering guidance to a different kind of technology firm: Google.
Mulally was appointed to Google's board of directors July 9, and late Tuesday, it was announced that he will serve on the company's audit committee. The veteran executive led Ford from September 2006 until he retired in June, succeeded by Mark Fields.
While Mulally will act as a board member - rather than in a managerial role - his presence adds credibility to Google's recently announced plans to produce an autonomous car. The ambitious program calls for 100 prototypes to begin testing later this summer. Production of the car is rumored to be in collaboration with a Detroit area performance company, Roush.

We spy the Ford Mustang King Cobra early at SEMA

Tue, 04 Nov 2014

As is the case with most auto shows, waiting for the reveal of hot new models is the worst part. So, while our own Drew Phillips has been wandering the halls here in Las Vegas since they unlocked the doors for SEMA 2014, we didn't expect him to come back with any big reveals until later in the day. Until this happened.
Meandering by the Ford stand, Phillips eagle-eyed a trunk lid that caught his attention. Popping out from an otherwise draped 2015 Mustang, the matte black lid clearly has the name King Cobra embossed on the rear.
That name is interesting for a few reasons: to start, Ford hasn't used the Cobra name (without "Jet" attached) since way back in 2004, so a new snake is certainly something to take note of. Second, the King Cobra name dates all the way back to the ill-remembered Mustang II, meaning there is a clear link to Blue Oval history here.

FL man fatally shot after urging driver not to do donuts in a Mustang

Tue, 18 Nov 2014

Bradley Holt (pictured), the older half-brother of University of South Florida freshman quarterback Quinton Flowers, was killed in a random act of violence last week.
The 24-year-old Holt was throwing a football around with local kids in Allapattah, a neighborhood in Miami, when a yellow Mustang showed up and started doing donuts in the street. Holt, worried about kids playing in front his apartment complex, walked over to the driver and asked him why he was "driving so crazy with so many kids out here?"
The driver left. Holt's sister said the driver came back "about 15 to 20 minutes later" and fired two shots at Holt. One of them hit Holt in the back of the head, killing him.
