  • In this auction, we have up for bid 1 running partially complete 1968 FORD pickup truck. This truck was a complete driver when I got it but due to mistakes and tire failures, it is in poor condition.  Due to the fact that I live in the woods, I have to keep mouse traps every where in the Truck so they don't ruin it.  Unfortunately, I forgot to close the hood all the way and the hood flew open, now it is ruined.  I do still have it, however.  Also, I have blown the tread off of at least 3 different tires.  The last one damaged the right rear fender.  I love this truck but I can't keep it in good condition and I don't have room to keep it inside.  So I need to sell it.  It was originally a 3 speed on the column and I installed a later 3 speed overdrive toploader transmission and I took the 3.70 rear end gear out and put in a 3.25 gear rear end.  Now you can drive it 70 miles an hour down the interstate.  This truck is a plain Jane no option truck.  If you put some different tires on it, you can drive this truck anywhere.  Sweet!   I have lowered the truck in the front end by removing three coils out of the coil springs.  This is an original paint, 95% rust free truck from Austin, Texas.  I was going to hot rod this truck and now I want to sell it to someone that can give it a good home.  Please ask questions or call me  319-721-2208.  Thanks Mitch and Sandy.  
  • PS:  I forgot, I put new front and rear windshield rubbers, new felt and anti-rattle strips in doors.   Arm rests are not cracked, dash pad is not cracked. 
  • THIS IS AN ORIGINAL FORD PART AND FORD PARTS FIT FORDS THE BEST. Please check my other auctions for hard to find FORD parts. 
  • Shipping and handling will be determined by shipping address. Other countries will be determined by shipping address.  Pick up only or will deliver gas within 500 miles or meet you half way ?
  • Payment must be received within 10 days or part will be relisted. Please include your item number with your payment. PAYPAL IS ACCEPTED.
  • NO PERSONAL CHECKS ARE ACCEPTED.
  • Thanks for Bidding and Good Luck!!!

Chevy Traverse, Hyundai Santa Fe revealed; Buick Envista, BMW M4 CSL driven | Autoblog Podcast #790

Fri, Jul 21 2023

In this episode of the Autoblog Podcast, Editor-in-Chief Greg Migliore is joined by Senior Editor John Beltz Snyder. After some banter, including the discussion of an excellent tomato sauce recipe, they get into car reviews. Greg has been driving the Mercedes-AMG GLE 53, while John has been testing the BMW M4 CSL and Buick's new Envista crossover. There's lots of interesting news this week. Chevy revealed the 2024 Traverse with new looks, a new engine and on off-road(ish) trim. Hyundai gave us a glimpse at the wild styling of the next Santa Fe. Dodge might bring back the Stealth nameplate as an SUV, and that has implications for the Durango as well. Ford, after repeatedly raising prices, has turned around and significantly discounted the F-150 Lightning across all trims. The first Tesla Cybertruck has rolled off the line as a pre-production prototype. Finally, we reach in to the mailbag and help a listener decide what to do with cars for himself and his kids in this week's Spend My Money segment.

Ford tops mid-year ranking of brands in the US

Thu, 18 Jul 2013

YouGov's mid-year Brand Index rankings of America's best perceived brands has been released, and Ford has found its way to the top. The Dearborn, Michigan based manufacturer beat out online shopping giant Amazon, The History Channel, and home improvement superstore Lowe's, to take the top spot.
Ford jumped from sixth overall in 2012 to first for 2013, but those that have been watching these rankings shouldn't be hugely surprised. Ford was rated the best perceived automotive manufacturer by the same organization last year. The Blue Oval's success on the overall brand rankings is made all the more impressive by the complete lack of other automakers on the list.
YouGov (that is, survey respondents) cited Ford's first quarter of 2013 business, which saw an increase in market share and the best earnings recorded in over 10 years. Successfully launching the Focus and Fusion (pictured) and keeping them fresh in the minds of consumers has also contributed to Ford's best overall score.

Ford UK exec says EVs are a good way to lose a fortune

Wed, Mar 19 2014

Stateside, Ford execs are quick to point out the automaker's expansion in the plug-in sector. And despite a minimal presence in the pure EV space, the Blue Oval has been promoting its plug-in vehicles as part of an overall effort to boost fleetwide fuel economy. Too bad the company's UK chief didn't get the memo. There's "no point in us getting behind [EVs] and losing a fortune" - Ford's Mark Ovenden Mark Ovenden, speaking rather frankly at the Geneva Motor Show recently, said he didn't have real high hopes for substantial electric-vehicle adoption and said the company's money was better spent on smaller gas- and diesel-powered engines, the UK's Daily Mail says. Ovenden said of EV development that there was "no point in us getting behind it and losing a fortune," adding that his goal was to have variants of Ford's EcoBoost engine in 40 percent of the company's vehicles. Ford has about a 15-percent market share in the UK. The UK doesn't appear to be as kind to the EV as the US. Nissan last year cut the price of its all-electric Leaf there last year by about $4,000, while the company rolled out a promotion for the Leaf late last year, including allowing Leaf drivers to borrow a gas- or diesel-powered Nissan for free for as long as two weeks a year during the first three years of Leaf ownership. In the US, Ford sold just 229 Ford Focus Electrics during the first two months of the year after moving 1,738 units in 2013.
