1963 Ford Econoline Unibody Pickup. This is a sunny California vehicle and is structurally rust free. There is some minimal bed rust at the bed/cab bulkhead where some leaves accumulated but this is an easy fix (see pics). There is no rust-through in the critical areas: zero rust in the frame rails; wheel wells; floorboards; foot wells; doors; etc. Also this has never been wrecked and the body shows minimal dings and dents. The bed deck has some surface rust and dings. The bed sides are straight and have never seen body puddy. Rear corners and quarters are straight and rust and repair free. All in all this is a great place to start a hot rat street rod build or even a restoration as all the major structure on this unibody is sound. Again, the only rust is at the bulkhead which is very common and easy to fix: it is so minimal that I feel I can say this is a rust free vehicle. All the glass is good and not cracked or damaged. There is no interior other than what you see. I do have the engine doghouse but not the top part, just the sides. Look closely at the pics and you will see that the engine mount crossmember has been modified for a 302 SBF V8. When I got the rig it had a 302 and a C4 in it but I removed it to put in my 63 Fairlane. NO ENGINE OR TRANSMISSION. (The pic is for reference only.) The exhaust stack was functional and therefor the 4" dia. hole will need to be repaired if you remove it. I have all four Bronco ii aluminum wheels, I only put them on the one side to show the stance with truck wheels -- the other side is stock and has more of a rod stance. Grant after-market wood steering wheel. Buyer is to assume that the brakes and wiring will need to be gone through as well as a drive train installed. This is a project. I have a clear California title. Truck is not for sale in California! Call first if you are a Cal buyer! Buyer will need to arrange shipping at buyer's expense. I will do my best to assist on my end.

Fiat boss Elkann being mentored by... Bill Ford?
Tue, 26 Mar 2013Fiat Chairman John Elkann has been turning to an unusual source for advice on the car business. While speaking during an interview with The Detroit News, Elkann said he often asks Bill Ford Jr. for advice on how to proceed with the turnaround at Chrysler. "It's great to have the opportunity to share this with someone like Bill, who has experienced many things and gone through many things ... especially linked to Detroit." Elkann said.
As the Agnelli family heir, Elkann has inherited a long and fruitful friendship with the Ford family. While Giovanni Agnelli built his first Fiat four years before Henry Ford created his first vehicle, it was Ford that showed Agnelli the benefits of mass production and helped pave the way for what would become the Fiat empire.
Giovanni's grandson, Gianni, helped mentor Bill Ford when he was elected chairman of Ford Motor Company. Now, Ford is returning the favor by helping Elkann navigate the automotive industry's tumultuous waters.
180,000 new vehicles are sitting, derailed by lack of transport trains
Wed, 21 May 2014If you're planning on buying a new car in the next month or so, you might want to pick from what's on the lot, because there could be a long wait for new vehicles from the factory. Locomotives continue to be in short supply in North America, and that's causing major delays for automakers trying to move assembled cars.
According to The Detroit News, there are about 180,000 new vehicles waiting to be transported by rail in North America at the moment. In a normal year, it would be about 69,000. The complications have been industry-wide. Toyota, General Motors, Honda and Ford all reported experiencing some delays, and Chrysler recently had hundreds of minivans sitting on the Detroit waterfront waiting to be shipped out.
The problem is twofold for automakers. First, the fracking boom in the Bakken oil field in the Plains and Canada is monopolizing many locomotives. Second, the long, harsh winter is still causing major delays in freight train travel. The bad weather forced trains to slow down and carry less weight, which caused a backup of goods to transport. The auto companies resorted to moving some vehicles by truck, which was a less efficient but necessary option.
Autoblog Minute: New car customer satisfaction down according to latest ACSI report
Wed, Sep 9 2015Customers have spoken and automobile satisfaction is down in 2015. Autoblog's Chris McGraw reports on this edition of Autoblog Minute. Show full video transcript text [00:00:00] Customers have spoken and automobile satisfaction is down in 2015. I'm Chris McGraw and this is your Autoblog Minute. The American Customer Satisfaction Index or ACSI released its updated numbers and according to the survey, new car buyer satisfaction is down for the third straight year. According to an ACSI press release, customer satisfaction with new automobiles has fallen 3.7 percent, to 79 on its 100-point scale. The ACSI report is based on over 4,100 customer surveys collected in the second quarter of 2015 Sitting at the top of the industry in customer satisfaction is Toyota's Lexus brand with a score of 84. Which was good enough to dethrone Mercedes-Benz, which fell 3% to a score of 83. Of the Big Three, Ford was the only domestic automaker to maintain overall customer satisfaction with its score of 81. General Motors slipped 3% to 79 and Fiat Chrysler had a 5% drop, registering a score of 75 out the possible 100. What's driving this trend of customer dissatisfaction? ASCI points to the rise in recalls and car prices. Where do you land on customer satisfaction spectrum? Sound off in the comments with your thoughts on the current state of car ownership and brand quality. For Autoblog, I'm Chris McGraw.
