I am re-listing my 1961 Ford F-100 half ton pickup truck with a lowered reserve.  This truck was originally owned by the u.s. air force, from dry western states (Idaho)

This is a very straight example of an early 60's Ford truck.  This truck has very little rust and the two areas of concern.  The two areas are below the small steps, on the leading edge of the rear fenders.  These areas are not visible from the top of the step, only from below.  This should be a very easy fix.  

The interior front cab corners have patches that look like professional repairs.  The cab corners are very solid as are the bottom of the doors and fenders. The other areas of needed body work are the drivers door and the driver side front fender at the leading edge.  The photographs show these areas.  The remainder of the truck is extremely straight and rust free, including the frame.  There are no frame repairs, and the truck tracks straight.  The excellent patina is great if you want to drive the truck like it is.  All of the military Air Force decals are in place on the outside and on the dashboard.  The truck starts very easily and runs well, no vibrations or stalling.  Directional signals and brake lights work, but the cancel switch for the directional signals should be replaced.  The tops of the bed rails are super straight and in great condition, this is also true with original tailgate, all tailgate hardware is original.  The military radio does not work and is for display purposes only.  The engine is a 223 cubic inch type with a 3-speed column shift (three on the tree.)  

I have completed the following work: new headliner, new sun visors, new high energy battery, new battery cables, painted battery tray, new driver side arm rest, new Coker truck tires, sand blasted Ford wheels painted blue to match the body color, excellent newly painted correct Ford hubcaps, new lug nuts on all four wheels, new reproduction rubber floor mat, new reproduction chrome outside mirror.  I have a set of nice oak bed rails that will go with this truck.

This truck runs excellent and stops well.  You can drive it right now.  Note:  The steering is somewhat hard at this point and should be corrected to drive comfortably.  The steering is the manual type, brakes work very well but are not power brakes.  The windshield has a small crack on the drivers side but it is not in the field of view.  In addition, there are a few rock chips in the glass, but nothing serious.  The engine runs cool and the instruments work with the exception of the odometer.  It broke a couple of months ago so the mileage is slightly higher than 48,303.  Mileage appears to be original, and mostly military miles.

This truck could be restored, customized, make a shop truck, or rat rod it.  Very straight, very little rust, laser straight frame, would make an easy restoration.

Please contact me with any questions you may have regarding this truck.  My name is Arnie, and I can be reached at (949) 573-1139.  Or, you can email me through eBay messaging.  I will promptly answer your emails.

NOTE:  You may contact me with any reasonable offers on this truck, please no low ball offers.

The truck is currently licensed and insured in CA, and has no back DMV fees due.

A $500.00 non-refundable deposit is required within 48 hours of the auction close.  You may contact me to make final payment arrangements after the close of the auction.

Please note that I am only accepting US bidders at this time, I am not set up to sell outside of the US.  There are no warranties expressed or implied on this vehicle.  The truck is being sold in "as is"; "where is" condition.

Transportation of this truck to the winning bidders location is the responsibility of the auction winner.  I can assist with the loading of the truck.

Thank you for looking at my auction and good luck.

Ford's Mulally makes shortlist for Microsoft CEO

Fri, 08 Nov 2013

Ford CEO Alan Mulally has made the short list to take over tech giant Microsoft, lending further credence to rumors that the 68-year-old former Boeing exec would ditch Dearborn and move to Redmond.
The report comes from Reuters, which claims that alongside Mulally, former Nokia CEO Stephen Elop and three candidates from within Microsoft are on the short list to succeed Steve Ballmer at the company's helm, although previous reports claim the Ford exec is the number one candidate. Mulally is currently working without a contract, although Bill Ford seems to believe that he isn't likely to depart. Despite this belief, Ford was quoted just last month talking about the depth of talent on the Blue Oval's executive team.
"There is no change from what we announced last November. Alan remains fully focused on continuing to make progress on our One Ford plan. We do not engage in speculation," said Ford spokesman Jay Cooney.

Ford bondage ads reportedly trigger firings at Indian ad agency

Wed, 27 Mar 2013

You will probably remember the ads for the Ford Figo hatchback in India, the ones that showcased the extra large boot of the little hatchback by joking that you can fit three of your enemies in the trunk. One of the ads had Michael Schumacher in the front seat, obviously pleased about having Sebastian Vettel, Lewis Hamilton and Fernando Alonso tied up in the back. But the other two had Paris Hilton and ex-Italian prime minister Silvio Berlusconi up front and three bound and gagged women in the back - in Hilton's case (shown above), it was the Kardashians.
This did not go over well, and Reuters reports that certain employees at JWT India have been fired over the matter. It is also reported that the images weren't actual advertisements, nor were they part of an actual campaign; JWT said they "were never intended for paid publication, were never requested by our Ford client." A JWT rep said the employees who created the ads did so on their own, Ford commented to Automotive News that the ads were "part of a creative exercise intended to test concepts for an advertising competition."
The problem, if the story is to be believed, is that the employees skipped the regular review protocols and uploaded their work to an ad industry site - they were found on Ads of the World. That page, like the employees, has been removed.
