Tinnys shop turns out some unbelievable workmanship and this truck is a shining example. great effort was made to track down and use correct period parts while updating certain pieces to make the truck more currently streetable. like the real truck, power comes from a 455 olds motor. the motor is rebuilt, .30 over, and balanced with a engle hydraulic cam and lifters. the motor has an aluminum waterpump and an edelbrock intake and carb, and polished edelbrock valvecovers. the truck also has a NOS 4 core radiator and a full dual exhaust system with turbo mufflers. a vintage heat/air system was installed but blows thru a period correct nostalgic under dash unit, which blows nice and cold. the entire engine compartment is detailed perfectly. for better highway driving the trans is a GM 700R4 fully rebuilt but shifted by a very early period correct BM shifter. the rear is a late model Camaro 10 bolt rear with 3:55 gears. airbags are installed to level the rear suspension. a custom made class 3 hitch is mounted out back with an in-cab brake controller. up front the truck runs the original I-beam axle. steering is manual with a GM box, factory F-100 column and like the real truck topped with a very rare 54 ford crestliner steering wheel. upfront are disc brakes with the factory drum setup on the rear. the truck has been built with 2 fuel tanks to allow for longer road trips. wheels are new Cragar SS with rare anniversery caps mounted on radial tires. the body and paintwork is dropdead gorgeous. like the real truck the color is 64 mustang poppy red base coat/clear coat. the rear fenders, bed sides and the tailgate were all NOS ford pieces. all glass is new with a mild green tint which helps the cab cool on hot days. the bed is finished in white oak with stainless steel strips and a tarp. all the chrome including the grille, bumpers and window garnish frames are brand new. the entire truck has been rewired and everything works correctly. the seat was rolled and pleated, a new headliner, new rug and new door panels were installed. the tach and gauges are also vintage period pieces. an am/fm CD player is mounted behind the glove box door. included with the truck is a miniature replica of the KS Pittman 40 willys. it is painted to match the truck and has been custom lettered by Jim "the Painter", a well known, long time pin striper who has done lettering for Grumpy Jenkins and Jungle Jim.

FCA to pay buyers $1,700 to swap out of scandal-mired VWs
Tue, Oct 6 2015FCA is trying to gain some sales from arch-rival VW in the competitive European market by offering potential buyers in Italy up to $1,700 to swap into an FCA group car. While the promotion isn't specifically targeted at TDI owners affected by the emissions scandal, it is clearly intended to turn dissatisfaction with VW's defeat device cheat into additional sales, Bloomberg reports. The 500-1,500 euro incentive (roughly $560-1,700, depending on vehicle) stacks on top of any other rebates or deals applicable, and applies if a buyer brings in any of Volkswagen Group's cars – including Audi, Skoda, and SEAT, among (many) others. As Bloomberg notes, it's normal for automakers to offer "conquest" deals – giving a buyer cash for trading in a competitor's vehicle. Those deals aren't usually limited to one company's products, however; FCA's program looks specifically to take advantage of VW's legal and public relations nightmare. FCA isn't the only automaker trying this trick in Italy. Automotive News Europe also reported that Ford is offering approximately $840 in incentives across its entire range to owners of VW vehicles seeking to trade in for a Ford. No word of yet as to whether these incentives will spread beyond Italy or to other automakers.Related Video:
Ford to ramp up Lincoln rollout in China in bid to catch rivals
Thu, Apr 12 2018DETROIT/BEIJING — Ford Motor Co's premium Lincoln brand plans to build as many as five new vehicles in China by 2022, according to two U.S. sources, in a move to expand sales in the world's largest vehicle market that would also blunt the impact of trade U.S.-China trade spats. Ford has said it plans to build an all-new sport utility vehicle in China by the end of 2019, however the company has not detailed future production plans for the Lincoln brand in China beyond that. "Our localization plans to support the China market are on track and will serve to further drive Lincoln's growth in China," Lincoln spokeswoman Angie Kozleski said. "Beyond that, it would be premature to discuss our future product and production plans or timing." Sources familiar with Ford's production plans told Reuters the automaker now expects to begin building the new Lincoln Aviator in China in late 2019 or early 2020, along with replacements for the MKC compact crossover and the MKZ midsize sedan, followed in 2021 by the all-new Nautilus, which replaces the Lincoln MKX crossover. A fifth model, a small coupe-like crossover, is tentatively slated for production in China in 2022, the sources said. Ford has much to lose if the war of words over trade between China and U.S. President Donald Trump escalates into a full-blown tariff war. Last year, it shipped about 80,000 vehicles to China from North America, more than half of them Lincolns to support the brand's growth. All Lincoln vehicles that Ford now sells in China are brought in from North America. Even if China does reduce its 25 percent tariff on imported vehicles - as Chinese President Xi Jinping promised on Tuesday - it is not clear that would mean a big, long-term increase in Fords and Lincolns made in U.S. factories heading to Chinese showrooms. Ford is pursuing long-range plans to build more vehicles in China to serve a market that is now roughly 60 percent larger than the U.S. market, and projected to keep growing. But it is playing catch up to hometown rival General Motors Co and German luxury brands including Audi, BMW and Mercedes-Benz, which have invested heavily in Chinese production in recent years as a form of insurance against trade, political and currency gyrations and to lower price points for their premium cars.
Ford mulling EcoSport for US? [w/poll]
Mon, 03 Jun 2013"We certainly have that ability. We're studying it very, very closely." Those are the words of Jim Farley, global head of sales, marketing, service at Ford. The investigation Farley is referring to is the possibility of selling the company's new EcoSport crossover in America.
The diminutive Fiesta-based EcoSport was developed for emerging markets like Brazil and, more recently, China, but it apparently may have a future in the States, where it would form a new entry-level rung below the Escape in Ford's already robust crossover stable. Ford has big plans for its tiny CUV - Farley tells Automotive News that the EcoSport is only available in 10 countries right now, but by 2017, its distribution will have mushroomed to 62 countries. At the time the second-generation model launched at the 2012 Beijing Motor Show as a 2013 model, Ford said the EcoSport would eventually be sold in nearly 100 markets worldwide.
The Brazilian- and Indian-assembled EcoSport is available with a variety of gasoline-powered engines, but the 1.0-liter, three-cylinder EcoBoost giving 118 horsepower and 125 pound-feet of torque would seem to be the powertrain of choice for America, as it was recently confirmed for the stateside 2014 Fiesta.
