What I have here is a 1959 Ford f100 Fleet Side Custom Cab which I believe to be mostly original. I bought this truck on ebay from a gentleman that said he purchased the truck from from a guy who had it in a barn, I believe that to be true. The body is straight with some surface rust but overall is very solid. Engine is a 292 v8 that starts right up and runs like a new one. The truck has been converted to dual exhausts and sounds great. (watch wideo). THe transmission works great and it has a 3 on the tree shifter, fun to drive. The interior is in very good shape for a truck of this age. it has the original radio in it which israre. Makes me think the truck had been in storage for some time. The tail gate is not original to the truck but is flawless. The grill is nice and not bent up and the other chrome is is decent shape. The tires are good and the wheels have a set of ford hub caps on them that i do not believe to be original to the truck but look fine. The oil has been changed, the front brakes relpace, by me. Now what it needs: it needs a radio antena, a right front wiper blade and and both door glass panels have a crack where someone slammed the door to hard. This truck is a candidate for a complete restore as the sheet metal is in great shape as well as the mechanical. Completely restored this truck will fetch 20k easy will be a reall heard turner. Drive it like it is and it is still a head turner.
Now, why am i selling it? Well, my wife dont want me to:-) She loves old cars and trucks: My daughter and her husband are in process for adopting a child. Our family has been donating yard sales stuff to help raise money to offset the cost. As I understand it is 50K via a agency in Texas so every little bit helps. I plan to sell this truck and contribute some of the proceeds to additionally help them financially.
The truck is availble to see prior to bidding if you would like. Any additional questions call me at 3364074963, my name is Mike.

2015 Ford Mustang EcoBoost already hitting 12-second quarters
Sun, 28 Sep 2014The arrival of a new Ford Mustang means many things to many people, but not least of them is drag racers. The pony car has always been a mainstay of the drag strip, and the Ford Racing team aims to carry that reputation forward with this latest generation. So it cooked up a few basic modifications on three new 'Stangs and headed to the strips at US 131 and Milan Dragway to see what they could coax out of 'em.
Impressively, the 5.0-liter V8 Mustang GT with a few modifications (but no forced induction) managed to clock a quarter-mile time of 11.77 seconds. Another Mustang GT fitted with a supercharger clocked a blistering 10.97 seconds. But just as intriguing was the modified EcoBoost model that, with only four cylinders and 2.3 liters of displacement, still passed the gates in just 12.56 seconds - nearly half a second better than expected. This with modification limited to a new subframe, half-shaft, drive shaft loops, exhaust, engine calibration, slicks, roll cage and bucket seat. Well done, boys.
Watch these Australian Ford and Holden muscle cars duke it out
Wed, 21 Aug 2013Australia's Motoring has put together a little video on two of the great performance vehicles available down under - the Holden VF Commodore HSV GTS and the Ford Falcon FPV GT R-Spec. And while both FPV and the Falcon might be on their way out, there's still plenty of time for a little head-to-head comparison between the two.
The cars aren't all that well evenly matched, though. The Ford boasts a 5.0-liter, supercharged V8, which the Aussies measure out at 449 horsepower and 420 pound-feet of torque. The HSV, though, with its Corvette-derived, 6.2-liter, supercharged V8 is just too powerful - 576 hp and 545 lb-ft of torque.
Predictably, it doesn't end too well for the Ford. As the guys from Motoring point out, the new VF Commodore is just too new and too good, with its extra power and its adaptive dampers (GM's excellent MagnaRide). Interestingly, Motoring did point out that the Holden's electric steering is better than the Ford's hydraulic steering, which is a lot like a Porsche purist saying they prefer water-cooled engines to air cooled.
Ford bumped by Amazon in best-perceived brand list
Mon, 20 Jan 2014Back in July, a mid-year study from YouGov found Ford to have higher brand perception than any other company in the US. While Ford failed to top the year-end study, it still has plenty to brag about. The final BrandIndex report shows that online retail giant Amazon edged out Ford for the top ranking, while Subway, the History Channel and Lowe's rounded out the top five spots.
For Ford, it's still an improvement from sixth place in the 2012 study, and, more importantly, it dominated other automakers in terms of brand perception with a clear advantage over Toyota, Honda, Chevy and Volkswagen. To determine how well - or not so well - a brand is perceived, YouGov uses a Buzz score that asks respondents whether they've "heard anything about the brand in the last two weeks, through advertising, news or word of mouth" and whether it was positive or negative. While it isn't clear how many respondents were included, YouGov does point out that Ford had a strong presence in social media, advertising and newsworthy toward the end of the year.
