1954 Ford F-100 Custom
Up for sale is my 1954 F-100 resto-mod pickup.The truck went through an extensive restoration about a year ago. It has a 4.6 L fuel injected V8, automatic with overdrive transmission, 4 wheel power disc brakes, cruise control, tilt wheel steering column, and yes even power seats. All of the modern components were donated from a '97 Mercury Marquis (Ford crown vic) with around 60K on it. The body is all steel and is nearly all new including the hood, fenders, bed, roll pan, and running boards. The glass is all new, one piece windows were installed in the doors, all new chrome and stainless, new flowmaster custom exhuast, wheels and tires, and all rubber components were replaced. I have put a few hundred miles on it since complete and used it in my sisters recent wedding. It starts right up and runs great. The ride is very nice in comparison to some of the stock restoration I have done. The rear end is still a bit stiff but you cant take all of the truck out of it. The front end handles well with its independent front suspension and rack and pinion steering. You will be sure to get plenty of looks in this pickup, and if the custom paint scheme doesnt do it the growl as you pass everyone will definetley turn all of their attention to you. All of the trucks electrical works great. The turn signals are operasted from the steering column as they were in the merc. Also the truck has fully functional cruise control operated from the steering wheel. The original blower is powered with its original switch and works. It is defrost only. The seats are power out of a newer lexus suv. The door panels and console were custom made by a local upholstery shop. All of the exterior harware, chains, door handles, grille, bumpers, etc. have been replaced with either stainless or chrome. This is a very nice driver quality restoration that would have its place at any local show. The wheels and tires have only 300 miles on them. Overall a great truck that you can actually drive. Please contact me with questions or requests for additional pictures. 765-376-3486

Ford says utility vehicles are key to global growth
Tue, 26 Nov 2013While most of us believe that small, fuel efficient cars are the key to global expansion for US automakers, Jim Farley, Ford's vice president of Global Marketing, thinks otherwise. Last week, we attended an exclusive sneak preview of the Ford Edge Concept in advance of the Los Angeles Auto Show, and Farley told us that it's actually utility vehicles that will help the Blue Oval gain market share overseas. "There is no other segment in our industry that is growing like utilities," he said. "We expect over the next five years this full family of [utility] vehicles to really drive our growth as a company."
And Farley has the numbers to back it up, too. Ford projects overall automotive sales to grow 23 percent from 2012 to 2017, but the company's utility vehicles are expected to boom by an impressive 41 percent during that same period. Much of that growth will be in China, where Ford estimates its utility sales will explode. "The biggest opportunity for us globally for utilities is in China," Farley said. "China utility growth is expected to more than double from where it is today to 2017, which isn't that far away." Most astounding is that Ford projects its own utility sales in China will eventually increase by more than 2,000 percent when smaller crossovers, such as the EcoSport and Kuga (sold as the Escape in North America), and the Edge and Explorer, are factored in.
Ford's VP also expects utilities to lead the way in the struggling European market. "With all the difficulties of the European market, there is one segment that has actually expanded in volume over the last several years even though the market is way down, and that's utilities," Farley told us. Ford estimates that their utility sales will grow 65 percent in Europe from 2012-2017. "The utility segment is projected to grow we think about thirty percent between now and 2017 in Europe, and we think we are going to grow twice that rate as a brand," Farley continued.
Woman trades 1914 Model T in for 2013 Corvette
Wed, 17 Apr 2013We're sure that dealers must see all sorts of interesting trade ins, but this one may take the cake. Red River Chevrolet in Bossier City, Louisiana, recently had a customer come in with an odd request. Tina Boyter wanted to trade in three vehicles on a brand-new 2013 Chevy Corvette. Among the hardware was 1980 Corvette, a 1978 Cadillac Eldorado and a 1914 Ford Model T. While the '80 Corvette had been her personal car for years, the '78 Eldorado had belonged to Boyter's mother before she traded up to a Lincoln. The big Caddy had just 10,290 miles on the clock when it was traded in.
And the Model T? Boyter says the car was built as a racer by Ford, and that it had been a show winner for years when it belonged to her father. But, after spending the last 16 years in a museum with its fluids drained, Boyter decided it was time to shed some of the past. She walked into the dealer, laid eyes on a white 2LT Corvette with a red interior and offered to trade all three of the vehicles in on the sports car.
Why not wait for the C7? "I fell in love with that one when I walked in the door," She said. We can't fault her there.
Jay Leno sees how the other half lives with CHP cop cars new and old
Mon, 01 Jul 2013Comedian Jay Leno is changing gears from driving fast cars to checking out some of the police cruisers that regularly chase down and dish out punishment to those fast cars. In this episode of Jay Leno's Garage, we get the lowdown on the modifications made to the Ford Explorer for the Interceptor package (which looks pretty tough in its California Highway Patrol livery).
The new Ford is cool, but cooler still are the pack of classic CHP cars that Jay has along for the episode. A 1982 Mustang, 1966 Dodge Polara, 1970 Mercury Monterey and 2000 Crown Victoria are all in the shop. Better still, Jay lays out an argument for ones of the classic cruisers as the best cop car of all time. Get your guesses in now, and then scroll down to watch and learn.
