 1955 Ford F-100
The truck was restored around 10 years ago and has been used as a summer weekend driver since. The body is solid and 99% rust free with orange and metallic purple flames. The paint does have some chips and scrapes/scratches from normal driving use. I have tried to include pictures of any of the imperfections. There are a few small spots where the paint is starting to bubble/crack and show signs of age but all in all I would rate it a 7 out of 10. The interior looks good with gray bucket/bench seat and gray carpet, door panel and headliner. Aftermarket gauges in dash that work. There is a Pioneer stereo and speakers. The stereo worked last year, but currently is not powering up, I believe it is either a blown fuse or loose wire, it shouldn't take much to get working again. There is a floor mounted B&M shifter that is connected to a Th350 trans that shifts smooth and operates properly. All lights operate properly. Wipers are on the truck but do not operate, I am not sure if there is a motor for them. The truck has power steering and  under the hood is a small block Chevy 350 motor with a mild cam in it. On top of the motor is an Edelbrock intake and 600cfm carburetor with electric choke.  It has true dual exhaust out the rear with chrome tips and has a great sound to it. The bed of the truck is solid wood with chrome inserts. The tailgate is currently bolted shut with hinges on the bottom but could easily be converted to operational with a couple of latches installed on the top. The truck is sitting on American Racing wheels, tires have about 50% tread left. There is power disc brakes up front with drum brakes in the rear. All in all, the truck is a great weekend cruiser. Feel free to ask questions. I will try to answer any the best I can.  Thanks

Ford Australia debuts Ranger-based Everest SUV concept

Tue, 13 Aug 2013

Ford has been in hot water in Australia ever since it announced plans to end local production of the Falcon and Territory SUV. Besides canceling a model that is to Oz what the Mustang is to America, the end of production means more than a few folks will be out of work.
Keen to prove that it has a plan for the market, Ford has unveiled the Aussie-penned Everest Concept, a rough-and-tumble, seven-seat SUV. While not a direct replacement for the aging Territory (that role will eventually be filled by either the Edge or Flex, according to Car Advice) it's an indication from Ford's brass that the Blue Oval is still committed to Australia.
To prove that fact, Alan Mullaly, Mark Fields, Jim Farley and regional execs descended on Sydney for the debut of the new concept. Ford's Australian president and CEO, Bob Graziano, said of the Everest, "Our customers, our employees and Australia can be assured that we're connected to the nation and committed to our customers through terrific products with class-leading technologies."

Ford Fusion production scaled back just 3 months after it was accelerated

Mon, 02 Dec 2013

Three months after kicking off production of the Ford Fusion at its Flat Rock, MI factory, Ford Motor Company is taking steps to trim output in the face of heavily discounted competition from Toyota and a growing supply of vehicles.
The addition of Fusion production in Flat Rock - which also builds the Mustang - was meant to be what pushed the handsome mid-sizer past its arch-nemesis, the Toyota Camry. An extra facility building Fusions was also meant to curb the growing demand for Ford's highly profitable sedan.
But with word that Flat Rock would take "approximately" one extra week off for the holidays combined with an 88-day supply of Fusions - reportedly due in no small part to what Morgan Stanley analyst Adam Jonas called "aggressive discounting of the Camry" - some analysts are now beginning to wonder if Ford may have overextended itself by adding a second Fusion facility to the mix.
