-You are bidding on a VERY Nice 1947 Pickup Truck! This truck is in great shape. It runs and drives excellent and the body on this truck is in great shape! Paint color is street-rod black and trimmed in red. It has a very strong running 350 V-8 motor that is backed with a 350 turbo automatic transmission. Runs and shifts out just as it is supposed to. This little street rod will get you all of the attention you want. I get thumbs up everywhere I go!!!! It will cruise down the HWY at 70 mph with no problems. You can fly in and drive this truck home....it runs THAT STRONG! It has all new limo tinted glass. The interior is in great shape and has a new dash with all new gauges. Has a good set of bucket-seats, but It is in need of a head-liner. Speed-O works, but not hooked up. So, not sure of the true mileage on the truck. Heater works and runs great. Lights and signals are working. It has a brand new Pioneer CD player and sounds great while you're cruisin' down the road enjoying your new ride! It also has new dual exhaust that really makes it sound good! Truck is setting on a brand new set of Kokar radial tires and a new set of smoothie wheels that cost approximately $1700 (which I just purchased) and it gives this truck that "Old School Gangster" look. This truck has a GM front clip and all of the front-end has been completely rebuilt. I spent $1500 just in parts alone - labor cost not included. It also has a 12 bolt GM rear-end. If you are looking for a very dependable street rod that will get there and bring you back as well as impress everybody along the way! If you don't like a lot of attention, then this truck is NOT for you. :-) I've tried to be as honest as I can with my description. If you have any questions, feel free to call me. This truck is being sold as is with no warranty implied. Buyer is responsible for all shipping. I will be glad to assist in anyway I can with loading the vehicle if needed. Truck is being sold with miles exempt.

Next-gen Ford Taurus spotted in China

Fri, Jan 2 2015

We're getting our first look at the next-generation Ford Taurus thanks to some spy shooters in China. While the camouflage and angle of the photo keep changes to the body a secret, there's no hiding the massive hexagonal, chrome grille up front. It lends a look very similar to the Fusion. Beyond the eye-grabbing grille, the headlights are reshaped, but are still quite squinty. There's also a new lower air dam that runs the width of the front with LEDs at the top corners. The hexagonal grille fits the design of the Fusion well, but this single image makes it look a little too big and disproportionate for the fullsize Ford sedan. Maybe the integration works better from a different angle, though. The next-gen Taurus is rumored debut for the 2016 model year and reportedly rides on a stretched and widened version of the Fusion's platform. Ford's big goal for the new model is allegedly to shed as many pounds from the scales as possible. The sedan also may get a nine-speed automatic to boost fuel economy. The engine range is still a mystery, but EcoBoost options are practically a sure thing, possibly even making up the whole model lineup.

New UAW boss Williams talks tough, vows 'no more concessions'

Sun, 08 Jun 2014

Dennis Williams, the newly elected president of the UAW, had some tough words for American automakers in his inauguration speech at the 2014 UAW Convention, striking down the possibility of any additional concessions from the 400,000-strong union.
"No more concessions. We are tired of it. Enough is enough," Williams said during his speech. UAW employees have not received a raise in nearly 10 years, according to Reuters.
Considering the recent strong results for Ford, Chrysler and General Motors, the union's demands are likely to carry a bit more weight in next year's negotiations. And considering Williams' tough stance, we could be in for some fireworks once negotiations commence.

Vile Gossip | Adventures in tire testing

Fri, Oct 13 2017

Jean Jennings has been writing about cars for more than 30 years, after stints as a taxicab driver and as a mechanic in the Chrysler Proving Grounds Impact Lab. She was a staff writer at Car and Driver magazine, the first executive editor and former president and editor-in-chief of Automobile Magazine , the founder of the blog Jean Knows Cars and former automotive correspondent for Good Morning America . She has lifetime awards from both the Motor Press Guild and the New England Motor Press Association. This is her first column for Autoblog — look for more Vile Gossip in the future. I began writing at Car and Driver magazine back in its golden age in the 1970s, before I'd actually read it. I knew very little about cars. The only magazine I read religiously was Four Wheeler because I owned big trucks and liked to go off-roading with my Chrysler Proving Grounds friends. My vast 10 years of driving experience up to that point (high-speed dirt-road idiot, taxicab driver, Chrysler Proving Grounds test driver) had less bearing on my being hired at Car and Driver than the fact that the editor just wanted to rile up the all-male staff. He didn't need me for that. They were already in full dudgeon when I arrived. They'd just spent a chunk of time testing a stack of tires for their big tire-test issue, and the editor-in-chief was toe-to-toe with the technical editor over the rankings of the top 10 tires. It was loud, and it was angry. I had no idea that car magazines tested tires. Cab driving had led me to believe that airing up a tire and changing a flat was all you needed to know. I changed so many flats on that cab, I eventually wound up in front of a live audience on the " Oprah Winfrey Show" demonstrating my brilliance with a jack and a tire iron. My point, of course, is that tires are more controversial, and also more essential, than you'd think. My other point is that it's good to get worked up about the subject, but not quite so good to let yourself be seen, as I did, on my hands and knees with my ass up in the air on national TV. This is how I prefer to test a tire: First, pick a top brand. Then accept their invitation to try and beat the crap out of their tire. I chose Yokohama, celebrating its 100th anniversary this year. The big news for them was the GEOLANDER M/T G003!
