For Sale 1956 Ford F100 Custom Cab w. completely overhauled 1956 T-Bird 312 Y-Block (NO RESERVE).

OK, I TRY THIS AGAIN! THIS TIME ONLY SERIOUS BUYERS PLEASE, NO "EXPERTS" THAT WANT TO HELP ME SELLING THE TRUCK!! ALSO, THERE IS NOTHING WRONG WITH THIS TRUCK IF YOU WONDER ABOUT THE PRICE! IT IS PRICED TO SELL TO MAKE ROOM FOR ANOTHER TOY! IF IT DOES NOT SELL THIS TIME AROUND I WILL SHOW IT AT THE CHARLOTTE AUTO FAIR IN 3 WEEKS IF YOU WANT TO SEE IT. THANKS

This is a very solid all steel truck! It sounds great and runs very strong, I drive it every week ever since the engine was totally rebuild about 10 month ago. I love to run errands with it and go to the local car shows! I'm the third owner and the second owner purchased the Truck in 1975 and restored it about 15 years ago, but it needed a professional engine overhaul. The Truck has been kept inside since for many years. The body is super straight, the tilt hood needs some adjustment. The truck is rust and bondo free with one exception, the passenger door has some minor rust on the lower door panel, see picture. Paint is of older restoration, looks good but has normal scratches and scuffs (see pictures), but absolutely no dents! Steel floor boards, original steel fenders, truck bed and hood!

I hate to sell it, but I got too many toys as it is. This truck is very solid with thousands of dollars in engine work alone. Receipt and detailed pictures available upon sale.

This is not one of these boring Restomods!!! This is your authentic 1956 F100 with the brand and time period correct engine upgrade!!

Amazon looking to bring Kindle to your next car?

Mon, 25 Feb 2013

Maybe so. The online retailer and digital media monolith recently announced the Amazon Cloud Player, an application for Ford Sync that allows users to stream media from their Amazon Cloud account directly to a Ford vehicle. This foray into automotive technology got the minds at Gigaom.com thinking about what could be next for Amazon. As Kevin Fitchard writes, the logical step is to make audio versions of your Kindle library selections available in your car. As he points out, Amazon has already laid the groundwork for such a move.
Amazon pulled the sheets back on Whispersync for Voice last year. The tech pairs ebooks with an Audible book for a small extra fee, allowing users to either read along with a narrator or switch between audio and text versions on command. Fitchard says it wouldn't be some great leap to apply the same principles to a car, where voice recognition software would allow users to pause or select chapters without ever taking their eyes off of the road.
It all sounds just fine to us, but Amazon hasn't said a thing about such a move. Still, we wouldn't be surprised to see the company come down this road in the near future just the same.

Ford posts decade-best $2.1B profit in Q1 2013

Wed, 24 Apr 2013

As predicted, Ford has reported that its first quarter of 2013 was a resounding success overall, with a pretax profit of $2.1 billion ($0.41 per share), and a net income of $1.6 billion ($0.40 per share). In fact, Ford made a pretax profit of some $2.4 billion in its home North American market, with that total number being pulled down by losses in South America and Europe. That gaudy North American profit is the strongest result by the automaker since 2000.
Ford's companywide profit for Q1 was down $147 million from one year ago, while the net income number marked an increase of $215 million year over year. Overall, this is Ford's 15th-consecutive profitable quarter.
The bad news from the European market was even worst in Q1 2013 than it was last year. Pretax losses of $462 million - on revenue of $6.7 billion - represented a year-over-year change of -$313 million. In South American, the company reported a loss of $218 million, down from a slim profit of $54 million in Q1 2012. The news was better for Ford Asia Pacific Africa, where a $6 million pretax profit in 2013 showed a year-over-year gain of some $101 million when compared to losses in 2012.
