***THERE IS A SLIDESHOW WITH MORE DETAILED PICS AT THE BOTTOM OF THIS AUCTION***
1955 Ford F-100 Custom Cab Pickup. This truck was built at the Memphis plant and has the rare special order Y paint code of Mountain Green. I had to research the code. Evidently it was not offered on the trucks, only the cars, and you had to special order it. It has the original 223 I-6 engine and original 3 spd on the column transmission. It also has the spare tire rack on the drivers side of the bed. These trucks are getting harder to find. I have included pics of a restored 1955 F-100 in Mountain Green to show how beautiful this truck will be when finished. The original engine and transmission are in the truck. However, the head has been pulled off the engine and is lost. The cylinders are partially filled with what appears to be oil to protect them but there is no telling how long they have been uncovered so I would definitely count on rebuilding the engine or replacing it with a V8. The body is in decent shape as far as these trucks go unrestored. The front fenders have holes in the front of them which is a shame because the sides of them are pretty good. I would buy two good used ones. The hood has holes in the front and on the passenger side that could be patched or replace it with a new/used one. The cab corners will need to be replaced. The drivers side door is in good shape with just a few holes but the passenger side door is pretty much completely rusted out at the bottom. The rockers have a few small holes. The cab floor is solid everywhere except on the passenger side in the corner by the door. Most everything that needs to be fixed or replaced is available used on Ebay right now or go with new stuff from the online parts dealers. ***Both running boards are rusted out but INCLUDED in this auction are two new aftermarket running boards for this truck (shown in the pics) worth around $500 with shipping.*** The bed has an ancient diamond plate cap welded in over the old wood bed that will need to removed. If you look under the bed you can still see the slats and rails still under there. The top and sides of the bed itself are solid and pretty straight but there are holes in the floor around the welded in cap that will need to be repaired or replaced (see the pics). The tailgate is good but it will need some welding work at the attachment points to be perfect. The rear fenders will need either patch work or need to be replaced. Good cheap used ones are all over Ebay right now. All of the glass is either broken or blistered and needs to be replaced. The frame is solid everywhere that I can see underneath. The seat is in it. The front bumper is twisted. It will need to be hammered straight and welded. The rear bumper is straight. Both need to be rechromed. The rear wheels are/were chrome steelies. Not sure about the front. There is no title. Alabama law does not require a title for vehicles 35+ years old. Car will come with a bill of sale.

Massive Airbag Recall Affects Seven Automakers
Mon, Jun 23 2014The recall of faulty airbag inflators supplied by Takata has exploded today to grow to seven automakers. In most cases, only models in certain high-humidity regions were affected because the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration found in its investigation that moisture played a role in determining whether there would be a problem. However, some companies opted for national campaigns. The exact number of affected models for these campaigns isn't yet known at this time. BMW is recalling an undisclosed number of 325i, 325Xi, 330i and 330Xi models from the 2001 through 2005 model years and the 2001-2006 model year versions of the 325Ci and 330Ci for the driver side and passenger side inflators. Only vehicles currently registered in Florida, Puerto Rico, Hawaii and the US Virgin Islands are covered under this recall. Neither Chrysler's filing with NHTSA nor its press release list the specific models affected, but a company spokesperson told Autoblog that at this time it only covers the driver and passenger side inflators for the 2006 Dodge Charger in Florida, Puerto Rico, Hawaii and the US Virgin Islands In most cases, only models in certain high-humidity regions were affected because the NHTSA found that moisture played a roll in determining if there would be a problem. Ford is recalling an estimated 58,669 cars that include the 2005-2006 model years of the Ford GT for the driver and passenger inflators, the 2007-2007 model years of the Mustang for the driver side and 2004 Ranger for the passenger side. It covers vehicles originally sold or currently registered in, wait for it... Florida, Puerto Rico, Hawaii and the US Virgin Islands. Honda is issuing three separate recalls regarding the problem. First, the company is recalling the 2002-2003 model years Civic, CR-V and Odyssey and the 2003 model year of the Accord, Element, Pilot and Acura MDX to replace the passenger's side inflator. This covers all models nationwide. Second, Honda is repairing the passenger's side airbag inflator in the 2003-2005 Accord, Civic, CR-V, Element, Pilot, the 2003-2004 model year versions of the Odyssey, the 2003-2005 model year Acura MDX and 2005 Acura RL. However, only for vehicles located in Alabama, Florida, Georgia, Hawaii, Louisiana, Mississippi, South Carolina, Texas, Puerto Rico and the US Virgin Islands. Owners will be notified in July. Finally, Honda is separately replacing some models' driver's side inflators.

Ford ready to install GE Wattstations at 60 locations in North America
Thu, Mar 20 2014Upper-level Ford executives are sending mixed messages about the power of plug-in vehicles, but in the companies parking lots across North America, at least, the signal is clear: come on and charge your EV. Today, Ford and GE announced that the Blue Oval will be installing Wattstation chargers at its Dearborn HQ and will then add units at more than 60 locations across the US and Canada, including "offices, product development campuses and manufacturing facilities." If you're a Ford employee, then you get four hours of free charging a day. That should be plenty to top off any of the company's plug-in vehicles, even the Focus Electric, and the time limit encourages drivers to swap cars at lunch, because Ford wants to encourage charging station sharing and get more employees to plug in. Ford doesn't mention the DOE's Workplace Charging Challenge by name in the release (available below), but we suspect these Wattstations are part of that project. Ford was one of the founding members, joining the Workplace Charging Challenge on January 31, 2013. On that date, the Ford Motor Company and Ford dealers had over 1,750 charging stations installed on company/dealer property. Ford, GE WattStation Chargers Support Employee Electric Vehicle Charging Network Ford to install its first employee electric vehicle charging station network in Dearborn, Mich.; facilities across the United States and Canada to follow Ford will work with GE as its network provider and supplier of electric vehicle charging stations; networked stations will help Ford understand charging usage and plan for future installations Ford electrified vehicles have logged an estimated 65 million electric miles over the last 18 months. Ford now offers six electrified vehicles, including Focus Electric, C-MAX Energi and Fusion Energi plug-in hybrids, and C-MAX and Fusion hybrid vehicles Ford Motor Company in conjunction with GE, will supply vehicle charging stations at Ford facilities nationwide, beginning with facilities in and around its headquarters. The announcement continues the innovative cooperation begun more than 100 years ago between Henry Ford and Thomas Edison, co-founder of GE. This month, Ford will begin installing GE WattStation™ charging stations across its North American campuses, developing a workplace charging network at nearly every Ford facility in the United States and Canada.
