Info/Background on the truck:
This is the Detroit Vintage Wheels Shop Truck for the last 4 years (hence all the different wheels on it in the photos). I purchased it from the original owners son 4 years ago.  Him and is father used it for their painting business in Tempe Arizona since it was new until I bought it in 2010.  No problems in 4 years of being my shop truck.  I have not driven it in the winter time or in any snow or salted roads. It has been stored durring winters for its Michigan years.  I have used it for road rallys, cruises, michigan road tours, and long distance trips to pick up wheels from all around Michigan durring the summer months. Its great truck.  You can either just keep driving it as is. 

The body (underside and frame and all brake lines/fuel lines included) Does not have rust...The drivers door was replaced and it has rust - in the lower corner, see the picture of this.   I have used the truck as a truck.  I do not worry about scratches or dings.  It has plenty of scratches and scrapes from years of use.  The interior was redone many years ago with some red velvet interior. it is worn but fuctional and I like it and most people do to.  It has a lot of character as they say.  

300c.i. inline 6 cylinder epic Ford motor starts idles and runs great.  4 speed over drive transmission shifts with no problems.  Drives tight. No Smoke.  A/C is not working - it worked when I bought it but i never use it and now it not working. i just removed the belt. it is not seized.  My work/shop truck basicaly just need gas to start working for you.   

Payment:  Cash

Shipping:   You must arrange your own shipping.  Or, I will deliver it to you and drive it anywhere in the continental USA for an additional $1500.  Payment in advance required. 

Message me if you have any questions.
 Thanks!

Project Ugly Horse alive and kicking at Road & Track

Thu, 29 Aug 2013

The hallways of the Autoblog campus are much quieter now that Zach Bowman has taken his prose, along with his welders, wrenches and hammers, over to the digital pages of Road & Track, but that doesn't mean our favorite project Mustang is gone forever. Project Ugly Horse is still coming along, and Zach has gifted us another update on his unfoxy Fox Body.
Last we saw of the Ugly Horse, Zach was strengthening up the '89 Mustang's chassis as he prepares to stuff the turbocharged, direct-injected EcoBoost engine of a Ford Focus ST under the hood. First things first, the old mill must go. Head on over to Road & Track to catch the latest chapter of Project Ugly Horse.

Watch Piquet and Mansell bend some sheetmetal in Ford Fusion GP

Tue, 12 Feb 2013

As we told you about before, there were four episodes planned for the Ford Fusion GP campaign in Brazil, and the whole series has now run its course. The Ford ads pit Brazilian Formula One driver Nelson Piquet against English F1 pilot Nigel Mansell driving the new Fusion, the two coming together again after their partnership at the Williams F1 team ended in a miserable state more than 20 years ago.
They're lined up for you below, in reverse chronological order. You should watch number three first, though, as it adds a bit more spice to the NASCAR action in the fourth.

This is what a 3D-printed liquid metal Ford Torino looks like

Sat, 12 Oct 2013

Artist Ioan Florea has encapsulated a 1971 Ford Torino with 3-D-printed liquid metal transferred onto the car using technology that he developed, and the result is a stunningly shiny, seamless design.
"The surface has the highest coefficient of reflectivity never achieved before," Florea told us in an e-mail, using "nano-materials and nano-pigments that create an internal three-dimensional structure and dictate the polymer how to behave." Sure... We'll leave it to him to make any more 3-D-printed liquid metal-transferred art pieces.
Florea grew up in Romania, and the motivation behind picking the old Ford as his canvas came from his childhood memories of what an American car is - "big and wide and fascinating," he says - and the European name of the car itself, which it shares with an Italian city.
