Hello Folks. We have today for auction a Really nice " Oldie But Goodie" A 1963 Short bed F-100 pickem up truck. It was made in San Jose ,CAL. in Aug.1962 with a 292-2V engine and automatic trans But somewhere along the way it got a 4 speed tranny swap installed. It's in really nice shape for an old Ford. These stepside shorties are very hard to find in this good of a condition. Only a couple small rust spots in the normal areas. We just had a brand new tinted high dollar windshield professionally installed and rubber today . There was no rust around the area under the old rubber. The engine runs but needs help. I drove it around the day after I got it and parked it. The tires will hold air but go flat in about 2 weeks . Somebody did a lot of body/paint on the box AND there is no tail gate but we know where one is at the local wrecking yard for about 50 bucks. Theres been new electric wipers installed and new gauges put in the dash. I believe its a 9 inch rear end Brake work great/ trans shift great / clutch is great .The bad is the motor needs either a new set of head gaskets /or rebuilt. It does start and run but it needs somebody who knows about solid lifter camshaft engines and adjustable rockers. Oh ,I believe this motor has a forged steel crankshaft. And Another thing when I drove it it steered fine and didn't pull or anything. Check out all the pictures we took .............. Happy bidding !!!!!!!! hash tag /hot rod 428 cobra jet /427 FE big block side oiler./ 390 hp 352 hp. Mustang /Ford Coup /Play toy... |

Introducing the 1965 Ford Mustang
Sat, 24 Aug 2013Put on your space suits and diving bell helmets, for it's time to step into a time capsule. The 50th anniversary of a historic model, like, say, the Porsche 911 this year, is certain to bring flights of nostalgia. This historical trip with the 1965 Mustang, though - preliminary hype for next year's anniversary, we know - is a swell museum exhibit for anyone who enjoys bygone days of the automobile.
Lee Iaccoca gave a speech to motoring journalists on April 1, 1964 at the New York World's Fair to introduce a sporty car for younger drivers. His opening line: "Good morning, ladies and gentlemen. Welcome to one of the proudest moments of our lives." The company was so excited by what it had made that the Mustang was Ford's first "International Press Introduction," being introduced to some 2,000 journos around the world on the same day in the US and 11 European cities. Even through its difficult points, no one at the time could have known how well the Mustang would acquit that pride.
After the intro, the press drove Mustangs 750 miles from New York to Dearborn, MI, reading press kits that touted features like the "vertical, three-sectional taillights/turn signals," "170" six-cylinder engine with 101 horsepower and the available Cruise-O-Matic transmission.
Chevy Silverado frame twist test a marketing victory versus Ford
Thu, 16 Oct 2014The pickup market is so competitive that all three major American makers are constantly trying to find a way to prove their product is the best. The new 2015 Ford F-150 is grabbing headlines at the moment by winning awards and posting segment best numbers. But in a new video, Chevrolet is taking aim squarely at the 2015 F-250 Super Duty in a battle of heavy-duty truck supremacy against the 2015 Chevy Silverado 2500HD... well, in a single metric anyway.
The big numbers from pickups often come down to payload, towing rating and fuel economy, but for this test, Chevy and Howie Long are challenging the torsional rigidity of the trucks' frames, specifically which one flexes less. Long plays the everyman here having the Chevy engineer explain what's going on in the tests. Unsurprisingly for a video on Chevy's official YouTube page, the 2500HD wins out by a good margin. The company also reports that similar results as shown here have been certified in third-party testing.
Check out the video to see the full test. While this might seem like a marketing win for Chevy, Ford isn't immune to it, either. In 2009, the Blue Oval uploaded a similar video comparing the flex under 225 pounds of weight from the bare frames of the F-150, Chevy Silverado, Dodge Ram (as it was still called at the time) and the Toyota Tundra. The results fell in the Blue Oval's favor, as you can see here.
Ford of Europe celebrates Mondeo's 20th anniversary
Wed, 25 Sep 2013Ford's European operations are celebrating a milestone of sorts as the Mondeo, the Blue Oval's bread-and-butter D-segment sedan in the old country, celebrates its 20th anniversary. The mid-sizer, which was sold in the US for a short time as the Contour, has been a far more popular vehicle in Europe - even receiving regular praise from one Jeremy Clarkson.
Narrated by Cockney actor Ray Winstone, the video goes through the Mondeo's years and how it's evolved from 1993 to the as-yet-unreleased fifth-generation model, which is essentially the same as the Ford Fusion that's sold in America. Take a look below for the full video from Ford of Europe.
