Here we have a 1937 Ford Pickup on a homebuilt boxed frame - z'd rear end. It is powered by a 1971 Ford 302 out of a Torino with a 1974 Ford Mustang C4 transmission. I have no title for the vehicle - most states don't require you to have one, just a bill of sale for such an old truck (It has a # stamped into the cab but MA is too tough to get a title from) - or just drive her as is - this is what I've done! I've replaced the intake manifold, put on a new Edlebrock 650cfm carb, new water pump with new hoses, new electronic ignition with new wires, new radiator, new lines, new push rods, new aluminum valve covers, new tires and a new aluminum spun 10gal gas tank. It has an ez wire fuse box (lines need to be tightened up) with running oil pressure, amps, and temp guages. New lights (brake, head), high beams and horn. I've taken the truck to where it it is but have no time and have lost interest. Will start up and run but needs to be 'dialed in' - drops out sometimes when I shift it into drive. Truck is fun and gets tons of interest at local cruise nights, but I need something for the entire family. I'll be happy to try and answer any questions you have but I've listed just about everything I know about the gal. She's a rat, she's fun, and she needs a little love to finish her. All the work on her has been done by me. Good luck bidding, she is as is, where is. Buyer must pick up - I will not be responsible for shipping. A $500 non-refundable deposit is due within 24hours of auction end. I invite anyone who would like to check her out to set up an appointment to stop by - I will be available at request. Truck is for sale locally so I reserve the right to end the auction at any time. Thank you!

Mustang-themed pinball game debuting in Chicago [w/video]
Wed, 05 Feb 2014Believe it or not, but new pinball machines are still being made. Chicago-based Stern Pinball still makes them and has found a niche selling modern machines to individual buyers and arcade distributors. For its latest cabinet, Stern partnered with Ford to create a pinball game that pays homage to the 50th anniversary of the Mustang, including the next generation. The new machine is being unveiled at the Chicago Auto Show on February 6 and goes on sale in March.
Stern is offering the machine in three variants. The pro-level machine is meant for arcades and public spaces and retails for $4,995. All of them come with background and cabinet art by Camilo Pardo, who designed the Ford GT, and Top Gear USA host Tanner Foust is the game's announcer. Depending on where players shoot the ball, they activate events that simulate drag racing, rallying, drifting and racing the Mustang, and hitting targets lets players shift the gears up and down.
An upgraded, premium table with added art will be added later for pinball machine collectors. The third model is a signed, special edition with art of the 1965 Mustang and 2015 Mustang on the machine and chrome and Mustang badges on the speaker grilles. Prices for these editions will be announced later.
J Mays retiring from Ford design, succeeded by Moray Callum
Tue, 05 Nov 2013Ford's highly influential head of design, J Mays, has announced that he'll be retiring from his position after 33 years in the industry, 16 of which were at the Dearborn, MI-based company. Upon departure, he'll be succeeded as group vice president of design by Moray Callum. If that last name sounds familiar, yes, he's the brother of Jaguar's Ian Callum.
It's difficult to explain just how big of a role Mays had on not just Ford's design over the years, but on the entire industry. Before heading to Dearborn, Mays worked for Audi, BMW and then Volkswagen, where he was involved in concept cars that paved the way for design icons like the first-generation Audi TT and the Volkswagen New Beetle. As for his Ford resume, it's extensive.
Mays joined the company in 1997 as design director for Ford, Lincoln, Mercury and Mazda, as well as the Premier Automotive Group (Volvo, Land Rover, Jaguar and Aston Martin). He was heavily involved in the Ford Fusion, Focus, Fiesta, Taurus, F-150 and Mustang, while also contributing to concept cars like the Atlas, Evos, 427, Forty-Nine, Shelby GR-1, Lincoln MKZ and the MKC.
Here are the best-selling cars and trucks from January 2015
Fri, Feb 6 2015Every month, Autoblog slogs through all the sales figures reported by automakers that do business in the United States, and, after a little bit of sorting, we put it into an easy-to-read chart in an attempt to make it as easy as possible to follow the ins and outs of sales and shipments. But that only covers the brands themselves, not the individual models they sell. And we think you'd all be interested in knowing which vehicles beat their rivals in sales from month to month, so we've put together this handy gallery to keep you in the know. While the leader of the pack may not come as much of a surprise, the order that the top ten finishes in changes frequently – due to automaker deals, the price of gas, etc. – and we've included some statistics to help you see how their current performance stacks up to month's past.
