Up for auction is one of the nicest 72 Ford F 100 pickups you will ever find. This truck was built in San Jose California and spent most of it's life in Arizona before coming to Ohio in the mid 1980's. It received a frame off restoration in the mid 1980's and has not even been rained on since. As clean on the bottom as it is on the top. Numbers matching 360 V8 and automatic transmission with power steering and dealer add on a/c. The explorer package was a spring time Ford promotion that year that was only offered in 3 colors and the original was tan with buckskin interior. When restored this truck was painted jet black and its laser straight. This truck has never had a patch panel put in it. Five years ago we completely replaced the interior including carpet headliner, door panels, seats and even visors. The gorgeous vintage flame job was done at that time by Sweitzer Performance Center. The a/c belt was taken off several years ago but the air was working at that time and the compressor is free. Bumpers are nearly mint and stainless is good with only a few minor dings. Terms of the auction are as follows. The truck is being sold as is no warranty expressed or implied and I don't do returns so ask questions before bidding. You are bidding to buy, not come look. If you need someones permission to buy, please get it before bidding. A $1000.00 deposit via paypal is due within 24 hours of auction close and the balance via cash in person or wire transfer within 72 hours of auction close, NO EXCEPTIONS !!!!!! Shipping or pick up is at buyers expense and is expected within 7 days of auctions end. You may contact me at 419-569-3361 and the truck is available for inspection during the auction by appointment, not afterwards. The truck is in Bucyrus Ohio and I have a clear lien free title in hand in my name. Thank you and good luck.

Motorweek goes retro with '80s hot hatch shootout

Mon, 03 Nov 2014

Motorweek's decades of history on television make it the perfect medium to look back into the automotive past and see how things are different now. It recently added old road test videos to its YouTube channel of the Acura NSX and Toyota Supra, as well as the Ferrari F40. For one of its newest flashback clips, Motorweek has exhumed an affordable five-car challenge of 1986's premiere hot hatches.
By today's standards, this is an eclectic field that features fondly remembered classics like the Volkswagen GTI 16-valve and Acura Integra. However, it also throws in some nearly forgotten contenders like the Dodge Colt Turbo and Ford Escort GT. The angular Toyota Corolla FX16 GT-S rounds out the group.
It's fascinating to watch Motorweek run the quintet through the slalom, down the drag strip and on various roads. What's most striking in this clip is the difference in the definition of a performance car between then and now. With its 16-valve, 1.8-liter four-cylinder, the GTI is the burliest of the contenders with 123 horsepower, but it still takes 8.8 seconds to reach 60 miles per hour. By today's standards, that would make it a plain-jane economy car, and not even a particularly quick one.

Ford Mustang 50th anniversary edition brings in $170k

Tue, 30 Sep 2014

Just the other day, we reported on the first Dodge Challenger SRT Hellcat selling for a whopping $825,000 at auction. But impressive as that sum was, the Challenger wasn't the only sought-after modern muscle car to cross the Barrett-Jackson auction block in Las Vegas this past weekend. So did this rare Ford Mustang.
The last of 1,964 special-edition 50 Years Limited Edition pony cars sold for a princely $170,000, with proceeds benefiting the Edith and Benson Ford Heart & Vascular Institute, a branch of the Henry Ford Health System.
The pony car in question is based on the 2015 Ford Mustang GT and upgrades with a performance package and nearly every option on the book, along with a unique appearance package to set it apart in celebration of the Mustang's 50th anniversary. It's available in two exclusive shades - Wimbledon white or Kona blue - with either a manual or automatic transmission. Only 1,964 highly symbolic examples were to be built, and this was the last of them.

eBay Find of the Day: Mk1 Ford GT40 with interesting history

Sat, 03 May 2014

You might expect a rare Ford GT40 to cross the block at some sort of prestigious auto auction from RM or Gooding, not show up on eBay for over $2 million. However, that's exactly what we have here. The seller claims the car is a late-build Mk1 GT40 from 1969, and it's currently owned by the director of the Hublot watch company in Switzerland.
According to the listing, GT40 #P1108 started life as Mk1 car that was built from factory spares in 1969 and was first sold in 1971. However, the auction is somewhat confusing. According to an image in its gallery, the vehicle was actually built from one of the seven spare Mk3 tubs when production of the iconic racers ended.
This GT40 was never built as a racecar - it lived on the streets its whole life. After assembly finished, it was sent to Germany and was eventually registered for the road. The first owner kept the car until 2005 and sold it with 7,300 miles on the odometer. The current owner bought it in 2012.
