We have owned this pickup since 1985. Found it "forgotten" in a farmer's yard. We have done a total restoration, and then modernized it to make it safe at today's highway speeds.Started restoration by re and re'ing cab corner posts, and removing all damage and bondo and replacing with steel. Powered by a 1964 Thunderbird 390 cid, that has been totally rebuilt. Paired to a rebuilt C6 Tranny, with a B & M slap-stick shifter built in to a custom console, which is between bucket seats. The drive train is balanced, with new u-joints, and attached to a 9" Ford Rear end. Custom anti sway bars front and rear, and new power disc brakes on front (Corvette), with stock drums on rear. Dual exhaust with two flowmaster mufflers, with chrome tips. Flip down rear licence plate (with lites). Bed is custom made of spruce with marine varnish with stainless strips between planks. Rear of deck features stainless plate that house two LED turn/signal lites. Anyone who flashes their highbeams at me, get it right back in their own face from the pooilished stainless plate. Cab interior has black carpets. Bucket seats that are cloth...grey with teal insert to match exterior color scheme. Dash and interior painted same teal color as exterior, but roof, door panels and rear wall are covered in grey upholstrey material. Fuel tank that was originally inside the cab, behind the bench seat is "history."..made extra storage space for small suitcase for road trips. Replaced that stock interior tank with a new 25 gallon tank, placed between frame rails at rear of vehicle, with a hidden fuel filler cap. Shaved door handles. Shaved fuel filler cap. Keyless entry. Hidden mechanical passenger door release. Alarmed. Extra red warning lite on dash to signal alarm working. Air Horn which has own electric air compressor and tank under driver's side, also has regular electric horn.Flaming River Steering wheel. All new Dolphin Guages including tach. Milage starts at zero with total rebuild. This is a NEW 1960 Pickup, thus low, low mileage.  Exterior Sun Visor. Halogen headlites. Parking lites are wired to stay on when headlites are "on."  Mag wheels with radial tires.(80% tread remaining) Am/FM/CD Alpine system with frenched in power antenna. There is NO RUST or any damage or electrical issues. This pickup can be driven immediately, anywhere at highway speeds, and then some. We are selling it, and all of our other collector vehicles, as we are downsizing to a smaller home, with no garage/storage area. This is NOT a desperation sale. Have investered over 100-thousand dollars to make this a one-of-a kind-eye-candy vehicle, that will be worth more with each pasing year. There is nothing else needed to be done, except drive and enjoy.  Priced to sell at $42,500 firm.

Ford posts record pre-tax Q3 profit of $2.6B

Thu, 24 Oct 2013

Ford took in $2.6 billion in pre-tax profits in the third quarter of the year, making for a record trio of months that saw the Blue Oval's year-over-year earnings increase by $426 million. The earnings are being attributed not just to improvements in North American sales, but sales around the globe.
Revenue was up 12 percent, to $36 billion, although net income took a hit, dropping $359 million to $1.3 billion. Ford was dinged with $498 million in pre-tax charges, which are being blamed for the drop in net income.
The news has boosted Ford's hopes for full-year results, bumping it's total profits up past $8 billion, according to Automotive News. The Dearborn, MI-based manufacturer is still expecting a loss in Europe, although it's forecasted less than the $1.73 billion it burned in 2012. In fact, according to CFO Bob Shanks, Ford's European losses dropped by 51 percent year-over year, a huge improvement for the brand.

Ford issues four recalls covering 163k vehicles

Tue, 19 Aug 2014

Recalls! 2014 will be forever remembered as the year that automakers went recall crazy, with millions and millions of vehicles adding up to crush previous recall records well before the end of the year. Adding to that tally is Ford, which announced a call-back for 163,000 vehicles.
Leading that charge are the 2.0-liter, EcoBoost four-cylinder engines of the Ford Focus ST and Ford Escape. 160,000 of the 2013 and 2014 models have bad wiring harnesses that can disrupt the signals traveling to the powertrain control module. That, in turn, could lead to a check engine light, reduced power and stalling. Notably, Ford hasn't recalled any other vehicles that feature the 2.0 EcoBoost, such as the Fusion, Taurus or Explorer.
While the Focus ST and Escape constitute the vast majority of recalled vehicles, they aren't the only problem children in the Ford family. 1,300 Transit passenger vans from model year 2015 were recalled due to brake fluid leaks, while another 600 Transit cargo variants were recalled after Ford discovered the windowless sliding doors could come open in the event of a side-impact crash. Dealers will replace the sealing washers on the passenger variants and add a reinforcement plate on the cargo models, The Detroit News reports.

Ford announces 2014 F-150 SVT Raptor Special Edition

Tue, 09 Apr 2013

Ford has pulled the wraps off its anticipated 2014 F-150 SVT Raptor Special Edition model, a new variant of the popular street-legal off-road specialist. In a nutshell, the "special" is all cosmetic - there are no mechanical upgrades to the truck and its 6.2-liter V8 (411 horsepower and 434 pound-feet of torque), Torsen limited-slip differential, beadlock-capable wheels and internal triple-bypass FOX Racing Shox dampers all remain untouched.
The SVT Raptor Special Edition, which adds cosmetic enhancements to the existing Luxury Package, will be offered in Ruby Red Metallic and Tuxedo Black Metallic with box-side graphics. The interior upgrades include Brick Red seat bolsters (with black inserts), cloth honeycomb highlights and a console top finish panel.
As of now, Ford has only release a couple pictures of the Special Edition model. But check back later, as we will update the gallery when additional high-res images are released later today, and be sure to peruse the press release below for all the details.
