This truck was purchased new in Coolidge AZ in 1968 and remained there. The rear bumper still has the original Dealership sticker on it. It says Alexander Auto Sales Coolidge AZ. The original owner sold this to his friend right before his death seven years ago.His friend was also an older gentleman and did not drive the truck. His family started it and took it for a few rides just to keep the battery charged and the gas fresh. This truck has 78,649 original miles and has a Box A title. It has the 360 V8 with Automatic transmission. It's a short bed with Custom Cab. It has the dealer installed A/C (no such thing as factory a/c in 68) The A/C fan blows good and hard but the compressor does not engage I'm sure it's low on freon. But the compressor turns by hand and feel good. Would be best to convert to the 134 anyways. If I can get my hands on some R12 I'll charge it and update the listing. The original owners manual is still in the glove box. The jack is still mounted under the hood and the jack handle is still behind the seat. The undercarriage looks the same as when it rolled off of the assembly line in 1968. The floor mat is even original. Yes there are some dings and small dents but for a 46 year old truck I'm positive you will never find another truck this rust free and with such low mileage. The tires are weathered and will need to be replace. Those are the original hubcaps. I'm sure i'm forgetting a lot so feel free to email with any questions or send me your phone number or I will send you mine. Will be posting a link to Youtube so you can hear it running and get a better look. Again I seriously doubt you will ever fine another truck in as original condition as this one.

Curtain officially comes down on Mercury as dealers remove signage

Mon, 03 Jan 2011

The process of shutting down the Mercury is complete. Ford officially made the decision to close its mid-level brand in June of 2010. In the months that followed, Ford offered its dealers money to stop selling the cars, with production shutting down in September. The last Mercury, a Mariner, rolled off the assembly line in the beginning of October and former spokesperson Jill Wagner said her good-byes to both the car and her job. Now the last piece of the brand has come down as dealers are removing any and all Mercury signage from their lots.

Time to catch up with Jay Leno's Garage, including his Lamborghini Espada restoration

Tue, Dec 23 2014

If you're already jealous of the time, effort and money that Jay Leno can devote to his massive car collection, prepare to get a little greener with envy with this latest video from Jay Leno's Garage. Instead of the usual format of discussing a model for about ten minutes and then taking it out for a test drive, this week Leno gives viewers on a tour of over a dozen projects concurrently happening in his stable. The breadth of the vehicles shown and the things being done to them run the entire span of the automotive hobby. At the same time, Jay's shop is working on just a simple restoration of his 1969 Lamborghini Espada (pictured), and at the other side of the building, the team is rebuilding a wood-bodied 1914 Detroit Electric from scratch. He eventually plans to slot a more modern electric drivetrain into it. If bikes are more your interest, there's a freshly completed Brough Superior just waiting for a ride, and if American models are your thing, a Ford Bronco is getting a Coyote V8 installed into it. You have some very specific tastes if you can't watch this clip and start wishing at least one of these vehicles could be in your own garage. Other than the personal projects his mechanics are working on in the shop, Jay gets to have them all, plus plenty more.
