This is a great find! Built and sold in TX, this truck has been in the same family since 1972. Everything seems to work on this truck (nothing is botched up) and the odometer reads 88k. Speedo works, temp gauge, gas gauge, all of it!
Spend a few hundred bucks making it legal and safe and run it the way it is! Pictures do not do it justice. This truck turns heads! Chicks dig it. Rat rod her to your personal preference. Air bag it! Run race headers, side pipes...options are endless. ....or you have a great solid start to a period correct restore. This is your truck for that too. Personally I wouldn't touch that Patina for a long time! You couldn't ask for a more attention grabbing bad ass truck. It just looks angry and instantly makes you a tough guy (or girl). Just going to the gas station I got a crowd of people around me! My girlfriend said I look sexy in it. I am very close to not selling this. The ORIGINAL 352 V8 was rebuilt with a hipo cam, head work, intake and 4 barrel. Anyone who knows the FE motor knows what that adds up to....TORQUE MONSTER! It was set up to run on modern gas, given a healthy cam (nice sounding lope), edelbrock intake and matching 4 barrel carb, ...and then the owner died. Kind of adds to the trucks mystique I think. It has an estimated 5 hours of run time to keep things lubed up. I have flushed the gas tank, replaced gas lines, installed an inline fuel filter, a new mechanical fuel pump, and she fired up and runs on all eight like nobodys business. At least one side of the exhaust is leaking bad at the manifold/exhaust donut, (old school 2' duals with cherry bombs hang in place), but it still sounds great. I ran it softly to operating temp and flushed out the oil, ran a big magnet through the oil and It was clean as could be. Zero smoke, no funny noises, just a solid healthy ford v8 that needs a good tuning. The engine is clean, all gaskets, freeze plugs etc. were replaced and block was repainted blue. If I were to keep it, this would be my path to get it on the road. -Two exhaust manifold gaskets (donut between pipe and manifold) Heck, Id probably spring for a new flowmaster or magnaflow dual set up. Looks like this exhaust has been with the truck a while.... -New Rubber -Front shocks -Drum brake rebuilds (it stops fine but its old and its fast!!!) dont be dumb. Pads and springs are cheap. -Set the timing and tune the carb. -I would probably update the cassette deck;) -Go through front end with a fine tooth comb (safety first) Replace bushings/ball joints as necessary. I didn't see anything that needs immediate attention. The interior is probably my favorite part! The factory seat isn't even worn out! There is nothing like a Red bench in a black classic pickup! The headliner and both interior door covers are in amazing shape with just a tinge of Patina... its like a work of art. You can't help but fall in love with this thing. The F100 V8 with the spare tire in the flare side is super rare. When was the last time you saw one pass you? It even appears that the original 1967 spare poly tire is mounted. The bolts have never been turned and it was under cover until now. As stated above there is a little decay under the rear fenders below the bed where wasps built large bulletproof nests that held moisture over the years. This is a seperate bolt in peice!!! No work at all!! There was a nest under the mat in the upper right hand side of passenger floor as well. Super easy fix. This is not a unibody vehicle but a heavy duty framed vehicle. The floor repair is simple and not part of the structural integrity of the vehicle. One of the doors has a couple of bondo skims (painted black) over small dents, nothing major. Never in any accidents. You will see in the pictures that the owner did a nice job of welding plate steel in the bed over the factory wood planks. Keep it like that (nice clean welding job), or cut it out and redo the the wood planks underneath for a really cool look. Cherry wood on that Patina with a red interior would look amazing!!! A little extra weight back there doesn't hurt. It has a claimed weight around 3000 but it feels a lot lighter then that.... Well that's it for now. With an average retail of 10k-14k plus in unrestored condition you can bid with confidence that you can't lose money on this beauty. Real Mans Truck all the way.

New car market raining on convertibles' parade
Mon, 08 Jul 2013Whether fitted with soft or hard folding lids, today's droptops are better than ever for year-round motoring. Advancements in power top mechanisms, sealing, aerodynamics, structural rigidity, rollover safety and creature comforts like heated and cooled seats mean that modern convertibles are more versatile and better to drive than ever before. Yet the segment's sales took a dive during the recession and haven't come back, Automotive News reports.
Part of that is because automakers are looking at today's more sensible buyers and simply not developing as many new models, and that lack of fresh iron is curbing sales. AN cites R.L. Polk data which notes that only about one percent of new vehicles registered in the US last year had tops that folded. Back in 2009, it was 1.4 percent, and it was 2 percent in 2006. All-in, some 151,636 convertibles were registered in 2012. That's more units more than were registered in each of the past three years, but the market has also grown as the economy has picked up speed, and as a percentage of new vehicles purchased, convertible sales are lagging.
Thus far in 2013, the Ford Mustang is America's top-selling convertible, with 6,421 units registered through the end of April, followed by its rival, the Chevrolet Camaro, at 4,751 units. The Volkswagen Beetle isn't far behind, with 4,305, but from that point, it's a steep drop off to the fourth-place Mercedes-Benz SL-Class and its 2,380 sales.

Here's what it's like to drive the very first Ford Mustang cop car
Thu, Jan 29 2015As we recently discovered, there's something different about driving a police car. That's true whether you're talking about a modern Dodge Charger Pursuit or, yes, the legendary Ford Mustang SSP. Former Autoblog staffer and current Road and Track web editor Zach Bowman discovered this when he shanghaied a 2015 Mustang GT and made the trip to Nashville, TN to drive the very first Mustang SSP police car. The two-tone, V8-powered prototype was delivered into the welcoming arms of the California Highway Patrol back in 1981 for evaluation. Bowman chatted up cop-car aficionado Mike Strinich, the prototype's current owner, and managed to score some seat time in the car, which provided a unique interesting contrast to the SSP's 435-horsepower junior. Head over to R&T for the complete read.
