I am re-listing my 1961 Ford F-100 truck with a lowered reserve.

Here we have a 1961 Ford F-100 half ton pickup truck which was a former Air Force flight line truck, escorting aircraft on the flight line. This is a very straight example of an early 60's Ford truck. This truck has very little rust and the two areas of concern. The two areas are below the small steps, on the leading edge of the rear fenders. They are not visible from the top of the step, only from below. The interior front cab corners have patches that look like professional repairs. The other area of damage is the drivers door and the driver side front fender at the leading edge. The photographs show these areas. The remainder of the truck is extremely straight and rust free, including the frame. There are no frame repairs, and the truck tracks straight. The excellent patina is great if you want to drive the truck like it is. All of the Air Force decals are in place on the outside and on the inside. The truck starts very easily and runs well, no vibrations or stalling. Directional signals and brake lights work, but the cancel switch for the directional signals should be replaced. The military radio does not work and is for display purposes only. The radio has the control tower and other AF departments listed on the face of the radio.

I have completed the following work: the new headliner will be replaced by auction end, replaced sun visors, battery, battery cables, new battery hold down bracket, driver side arm rest, new Coker truck tires, sand blasted Ford wheels painted in the correct Air Force blue, installed excellent painted correct Ford hubcaps, new lug nuts on all four wheels, new reproduction rubber floor mat, new reproduction chrome outside mirror. I have done some touch up painting on the body to add color to grey primer areas. Included in the sale of this truck are four custom wheels and tires with over 50% tread remaining. I have included a picture of the wheels and tires. Also included are oak bed rails as shown in one of the photographs. I have cleaned and detailed the engine compartment.

This truck runs excellent and stops well. You can drive it right now. The steering is somewhat hard at this point and I would recommend that the steering gear box be rebuilt or replaced. The windshield has a small crack on the drivers side but it is not in the field of view. In addition, there are a few rock chips in the glass, nothing serious. The engine runs cool and the instruments work with the exception of the odometer. It broke a couple of months ago so the mileage is slightly higher than 48,303. Mileage appears to be original and mostly military miles.

This truck could be restored, customized, make a shop truck or rat rod it. Very straight and easy restore.

Please contact me with any questions you may have regarding this truck. My name is Arnie and I can be reached at (949) 573-1139.

The truck is currently licensed in CA and has no back DMV fees due.

A $500.00 non-refundable deposit is required within 48 hours of the auction close. You may contact me to make final payment arrangements after the close of the auction.

Please note that I am only accepting US bidders at this time, I am not set up to sell outside the country at this time. There are no warranties expressed or implied on this vehicle. The truck is being sold in "as is"; "where is" condition.

Transportation of this truck to the winning bidders location is the responsibility of the winner. I can assist with the loading of the truck.

Thank you for looking at my auction and good luck.

Brits recreate iconic Bullitt chase scene

Tue, 13 May 2014

Recreating the famous chase scene from Bullitt has become almost an art form in its own right. We've seen it done in a music video, with scale models and even in commercials. There are few films that are as defined by a single scene as the 1968 classic. Even if you don't know a single beat of the plot, the Highland Green Ford Mustang racing a Dodge Charger through the hilly streets of San Francisco is famous. It's so well known that the Silverstone Classic has created a homage to promote its celebration of the 50th Anniversary of the Mustang at this year's event in July.
Filmed around the famous UK circuit, the short film generally gets the key points of the scene right. It even has a green Volkswagen Beetle that keeps reappearing, as in the movie. Unfortunately, its Steve McQueen stand-in looks a little too old for the role. While the video shortens the chase considerably, it's still great to see these '60s behemoths leaning and sliding around the track. Scroll down for a touch of nostalgia thanks to one of the greatest scenes ever in cinema - we've got both the recreation and the original chase seen from the movie waiting for you.

Rolling footage of the 2015 Ford Mustang hits YouTube [w/video]

Thu, 26 Dec 2013

Just in time for the holidays: Ford took the 2015 Mustang to Route 66 to cook up rolling footage, and we've been given some of the leftovers ahead of the meal. There are no burnouts, no donuts, no revving, and thankfully, no music. It's just two minutes and 26 seconds of the new pony car running free in the desert.
So in case you needed more visualizing help, the video below will help you start imagining how you'll look in your 2014 Christmas present to yourself...

What's in a trademark? Sometimes, the next iconic car name

Thu, 07 Aug 2014

The United States Patent and Trademark Office is a treasure trove for auto enthusiasts, especially those who double as conspiracy theorists.
Why has Toyota applied to trademark "Supra," the name of one of its legendary sports cars, even though it hasn't sold one in the United States in 16 years? Why would General Motors continue to register "Chevelle" long after one of the most famous American muscle cars hit the end of the road? And what could Chrysler possibly do with the rights to "313," the area code for Detroit?
