This 1953 Ford pick-up is being sold in the condition in which I bought it.  Wanted it as a project and never had time to work on it, though it was off to a good start when I got it.  Chasis, suspension, wheels and brakes are all in good shape. The 305 V8 Chevy engine runs good.  This is definitly a drivable vehicle and I have used it to get to work on a regular basis. The three speed automatic transmission needs some work.  It makes a ticking sound in first gear, and it shifts a little hard.  Fluid has leaked from the bellhousing at times.

Body work and paint job had been done by the previous owner, but over the last three years some chips and cracks have developed and there are a couple rust bubbles begining.  Both driver and passenger side windows work, but the passenger side vent mirror is broken.  The right side bed side panel has a small hole. (paint chips, rust, and damage seen in pics)
Bed boards have been replaced and are in good condition, but unfinished.  There is no tail gate.
The interior has been repainted red.  Original bench seat has been recovered in red vinyl.  The cardboard door panels and kick panels are warped from moisture, but the paint underneath is good.  New Dolphin gauges are set in wood and all work, but speedometer needs to be recalibrated.  Most interior accesories are missing, (i.e. rearview, visors, knobs)  Heater and windshield wipers are not functional.  Head lights and LED tail lights work, but after a recent storm, the turning blinkers shorted out.  There are some wireing issues beween the ignition switch and the starter motor and some times I have to give it a quick jump to get it started.
I like this truck a lot and love driving it around town, but like I said, I never had time to work on it.  It would make a great project and, with a little work, would make a good "rat rod" style truck or even a daily driver.

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 Ford GT to carry $400k-price tag

Thu, Mar 5 2015

The last time Ford made a GT, it built more than 4,000 of them and sold each one for around $150,000. Judging by the premiums at which they later traded, they were evidently worth a lot more than that. But this time, the new Ford GT will be far more expensive and far more scarce. Official performance, production and pricing figures have yet to be released, but upon the new American supercar's European debut in Geneva, Ford performance chief Dave Pericak indicated it would be priced competitively with the Lamborghini Aventador – which carries a base sticker price approaching $400,000, Car and Driver reported. Combine that with production expected to number in the hundreds, not the thousands, and you're not likely to be seeing any of these Blue Oval halo cars in your neighborhood anytime soon. The question then becomes: will the price tag will be justified? With carbon-fiber construction and more than 600 horsepower on tap, it very well could be. And if speculators are going to drive up the actual sale prices, we don't see why Ford shouldn't get what the product is worth. But whether the world is ready for a $400,0000-Ford is another question entirely. Related Video:
