Up for auction here is a very clean original 1971 Ford F-100 Sport Custom. I bought the truck a year and a half ago with a bad motor in it and has been my weekend project. The truck originally had a 390 V8 and C6 trans. The 390 dropped a rod so it was not rebuildable. It is now equipped with a 302 and a New C4 trans with a nice mild shift kit. Power steering and power disc brakes. I did a full tear down and inspected everything and it has new comp cam and lifters, timing chain, oil pump, and bearings. The cylinders looked great. It was not a full rebuild. Still the original rings and heads. I knew the history of this motor. It was pulled from an 82 mustang GT, and ran quite well when pulled. But it runs awesome now great power and runs this truck down the road very nice. Has a 600 four barrel Holley carb, edelbrock performer intake, ford racing shorty headers, electronic ignition, all new full length flowmaster dual exhaust. All new hoses, belts, water pump, fuel pump, rebuilt radiator. As I said above it also has a rebuilt C4 auto trans with mild shift kit, new u joints as well. I also converted the fron suspension over to disc brakes, replaced the radius arm bushing as well at the time. Truck drives down the road smooth true and slight. Just put new tires on it on the last 1000 miles too. All of this work has no more than 3000 miles on it. The truck it self has just 100K on it. The odometer reading when I bought it was just 97k. And based on the condition I truly believe that is actual miles. It bares 90% of the original paint, its thin on the hood and top but I get two thumbs up every where I drive it. I had the seat reupholstered in orignal style, as well as replaced the rubber floor mat, it all shows very well. It also has a rare factory AM-FM radio that works great. As you can see it has cab lights, which are factory, uncommon for a F-100 obvesely a special order truck when it was new. It originated from the Seattle Wa area when new, but I bought it here locally. It does have some rust in the passenger floor area, but other than that, anything else is just surface. The windshield is also cracked but not in the line of sight. Its a tight solid truck. Bed is super straight and has ben line-xed. Its never been abused. Everything works lights, horn, lighter etc.... I really hate to see it go after all the time I have spent on it, but I have just recently moved and don't have the place to store it. And I have other projects that I need the space for. Its currently parked at a friends house now, so when I want to drive it I have to rotate vehicles around, not to convient. This truck is ready to go and be your daily driver I ve done everything I could to make it 100% reliable. Ive taken it on three 300 mile round trip road trips and it runs like a champ. Its just time for someone else to enjoy it. So please bid with confidence, its hard to remember everything, so please feel free to ask. Thanks ands happy bidding.

Google's new Android Autos OS unveiled, will be in cars this year [w/video]
Wed, 25 Jun 2014Connected cars are coming en-masse. We know this much. How, though, remains something of an open question, especially as two of the world's largest tech companies are preparing to battle for control of your car's dashboard. On the one hand, we have Apple and its CarPlay system. And now, we know what Google has been working on with Auto Link.
Its new name is Android Auto, and yes, it's based off the Android architecture that is the primary challenger to Apple's iOS mobile operating system. Announced at Google's I/O conference today, Android Auto functions similarly to CarPlay - owners will need to plug their smartphones into their cars to access the full breadth of capability.
In Android Auto's case, that means a wealth of voice controls to limit distracted driving. Google's marquee apps will be available when the interface arrives in production models later this year, including Google Play Music, Google Maps and voice-activated texting and text playback. Meanwhile, developers will be able to begin designing custom apps for the new system via an upcoming software development kit.

Ford board OK with Mulally stepping down earlier
Fri, 06 Sep 2013Ford's board is open to CEO Alan Mulally stepping down before his planned departure in 2014, inside sources are telling Reuters. Ford's plan of succession, aside from who would be his actual successor, has been something approaching common knowledge - the 68-year-old former Boeing exec had plans to stay through 2014. This was recently confirmed by Mulally himself on Bloomberg Television and in Automotive News.
Motivation for the about-face comes from what Reuters calls a "growing confidence" in the current crop of Ford execs, led by Mark Fields. Fields, Ford's current chief operating officer, has been tipped as Mulally's ultimate successor, although he's far from the only person with eyes on Ford's top job. Normally, Ford's board saying they're open to an executive, that's done very well for the company, stepping down early would be nearly unremarkable. It's the timing of this announcement, though, that makes this a big piece of news.
Recently, Mulally has been the subject of rumors that he's interested in taking the CEO position at tech giant Microsoft. The Redmond, Washington-based company's CEO, Steve Ballmer, told the media in August that he'd be retiring in a year's time. The fires were stoked when tech website AllThingsD speculated that Mulally would take the top spot, despite denials from the man himself. Could Ford's current boss become the new top dog at Microsoft? Will Mark Fields replace him? Could recently departed Renault exec Carlos Tavares land at Ford in some capacity?
