Up for auction in a 1964 or 1965 Ford Falcon body sitting on a International Scout 4x4 drive train. It's called a Ford-National. There is no title for the car or the 4x4 frame and is sold with a bill of sale only. I repeat there is no title and sold with bill of sale only. Vehicle is sold as is with no warranty.

I have driven it around the block and it runs and drives. The brakes need to be bleed. but if it ever warms up in the Mid-West I will try to do that. They work, but just need to be pumped like the Flintstones mobile to stop. The car runs good, but the carb really needs to be adjusted or rebuilt. It hates to idle and Again if it warms up I will tinker with that. It is a Holly 2-barrel. The motor runs off a bottle under the hood. The gas tank looks nice, but the fuel lines have not been run yet. The glass is good including the windshield and all the windows roll up and down. I have not been in the trunk yet and am looking for a key to get in. It has a 3-speed on the floor and shifts well. Use as a parts vehicle, Rat Rod or a mud runner, you make the call. I think it looks cool and is different and I purchased it for that reason. What you see is what it comes with and nothing else. It needs body work, tune up, interior work and who knows what else. That is all I know about the vehicle since I did not dive into it and just drove it up and down the block before loading it on a trailer. If it does not sell I may part it out, fix the mechanics and use as a mud runner or use as a rat rod. The options are endless since there is a blank canvas to start with. It will need tires also, the ones on it are cracked. If you have more questions please shoot me an email I work during the day and will get back to you in the evening.

Winning bidder to pay $300.00 by pay pal within 5 days of auction ending and vehicle can sit for 30 days if need to before pick-up. Balance to be paid by check, money order or cash before vehicle will be released.

2013 North American Car and Truck/Utility of the Year finalists announced [w/poll]

Wed, 12 Dec 2012

2012 is almost in the books and automakers are spending December gearing up for the 2013 auto show season, which tips off next month at the Detroit Auto Show. Traditionally, the latter opens up with the announcement of the North American Car and Truck/Utility of the Year awards, and this year figures to be no different.
But up until this moment, we didn't know which six vehicles would be parked ahead of the stage as finalists, with executives and engineers waiting for the winners to be disclosed. Whittled down from October's "short list" of nominees (11 cars and 10 truck/utility vehicles), the finalists are as follows:

Porsche, Jaguar continue dominance in 2015 JD Power APEAL study

Wed, Jul 22 2015

The top of JD Power's 2015 APEAL Study has not changed much in the last year. Porsche remains No. 1 with Jaguar nipping at its heels, although both premium brands saw their overall score fall compared to 2014. For those that need a refresher, the APEAL Study looks at how "gratifying" a vehicle is to own and drive, rating cars and brands on a 1,000-point scale. The industry average for 2015 has increased from 794 to 798, while the total number of automakers that finished above the curve increased from 16 to 20. While Porsche and Jaguar finished at the top, their scores dropped eight and seven points, respectively, to 874 and 855. The top "non-premium" brand was Mini, which scored an impressive 825, up from 795. If the BMW-owned British marque is still a bit too premium for your tastes, last year's non-premium winner, Hyundai, did climb five points and is this year's runner up. At the opposite end of the scale, Smart sits at the very bottom of the rankings, with a score of 683 (it didn't appear on the 2014 rankings). Fiat also dropped, from fourth worst in 2014 to second worst in 2015, despite the 500 being named most appealing city car. Subaru made an impressive climb, from third worst to seventh, falling just 10 points shy of the industry average and two points south of the non-premium average. In the individual vehicle segments, eight brands earned multiple awards, with Ford, Chevrolet, and Porsche earning three apiece. Surprise segment victories included the new Ford Expedition, which beat out Chevy's popular Suburban. The Infiniti QX80 bested the likes of the Cadillac Escalade and Range Rover for best large luxury SUV, and the Dodge Challenger beat its muscle car rivals from Ford and Chevy. Most of the victories, though, were quite predictable. The Mazda6 and CX-5 took wins for the midsize sedan and compact SUV categories respectively, while the Volkswagen Golf captured the compact car win. The Ford F-150 won the large pickup category, while the Porsche Cayman was named most appealing compact premium sporty car. Check out the official release on the 2015 APEAL Study, available below, from JD Power. 2015 U.S. APEAL Study Results The latest safety-related technologies are among the drivers of customer satisfaction with new vehicles, according to the J.D.

Ford car-camo artist works his craft on Australia's new Falcon XR8

Fri, 25 Jul 2014

Ford is among the kings of concealment when it comes to test cars. On one recent Mustang SVT mule, the automaker went to the extreme of putting baffles over the exhausts to hide how many there were. Sounds like a lot of work, right? In a new video, the Blue Oval has decided to take fans behind the scenes to show them what it takes to camouflage a prototype. In this case the subject was the recently unveiled 2014 Falcon XR8 for Australia.
Ford's prototype build coordinator Down Under has the very appropriate name of Neil Trickey, and it's his job to obfuscate the important bits of test cars to keep them out of spy shooters' camera lenses. Trickey calls his job a "dark art," and he shows off some of the tricks of his trade in the video. It turns out that the fabric we often see on mules is a type of lycra, but his team isn't above getting out a can of spray paint to conceal parts, too.
Scroll down to watch a video about a man who you probably wish could be a little worse at his job.
