Here is another from my collection, I like this one the most of any I have had and I know it will make someone else a great ride !

Awesome shop truck painted to look like the old school patina. Smurph blue wet sanded down to give that flat sheen and expose some under the paint character. The paint is slick, I posted some up close pics just for you to see the patina. The truck runs super strong with a 351 Windsor mated to an automatic transmission with a B&M console shifter. The engine has Speedway Motors engine mounts up front done the right way, cammed, headers, dual mufflers flexalite fan, tranny cooler and ready to rock. Brand new battery, coil, points, condensers,regulator, starter, alternator, and brand new Cragar wheels and tires 225 16 up front and 255 16 out back, brand new paint and bed liner make this thing look really cool, the interior is super clean. I have wet sanded all of the doors and jams. I also replaced the front end pieces with 1966 pieces that I had on another truck, I liked the looks better now for sure. This is not a dirty old farm truck, I like clean and nice vehicles. Glass is all good and super clear, just a cool old shop truck or cruiser. Runs Awesome, the 351 Windsor is an excellent motor, you can get sideways in it any time you'd like. Just had a full tune up as well. The brake pads up front are all new, really is a cool truck, I know I will miss it.

Ford EcoSport Storm concept swallows a Raptor in Sao Paulo

Sun, 02 Nov 2014

Ford rolled into the Sao Paulo Motor Show with some pretty cool crossovers in tow, the awesomest of all being the EcoSport Storm concept shown above, which draws its inspiration directly from the F-150 SVT Raptor. It packs a lower grille clearly derived from the now-famous muscle truck, as well as a Blue Storm paint job, black and silver trim, special graphics, lower body cladding and 215/75 R15 off-road tires. Don't go holding your breath for a supercharged V8, though; made locally in Brazil, India and Thailand, the tiny EcoSport is typically powered by a three- or four-cylinder engine.
The Storm isn't the only specially prepared Ecosport on show, however, joined as it is by another pair called Beauty and the Beast. Beauty is decked out in matte copper with a black roof, LED fog lamps, 18-inch wheels with low-profile tires and an interior complete with four individual bucket seats, leather upholstery and a full multimedia suite. The Beast, meanwhile, takes a sportier approach with a white pearl finish, blue and orange trim and three-bar grille. It also wears 18-inch wheels and LED fog lamps, but its interior swaps out its rear seats for a bike rack.
Joining the EcoSport show cars was an Edge crossover equipped with all the latest technologies and done up in bright red with three-bar grille, bulging hood, and an interior featuring 10-inch touchscreens and leather upholstery. Feel free to read more in the press release below.

Ford turns Navistar from truck business customer to rival

Mon, 19 May 2014

There is a showdown brewing in the medium-duty truck segment next year as Ford prepares to launch its all-new, in-house engineered 2016 F-650 and F-750. It finally marks the end of the Blue Diamond joint venture between Ford and Navistar and, making the two entities direct competitors instead of partners.
Ford announced the end of the joint venture in an investor report in 2011, but it didn't reveal the new F-650 and F-750 until the NTEA Work Truck Show in Indianapolis, IN, in March. Unlike the current, Mexican-built models, the new generation will be built in Avon Lake, OH, starting in mid-2015.
The challenge from Ford comes during a rough patch for Navistar. The company had a $248 million loss in the first quarter, according to The Wall Street Journal, and its medium-duty truck market share is currently down to 26 percent, from 36 percent in 2011. Building the previous-generation Fords brought in about $400 million a year to Navistar, according to the WSJ. To take on its former partner, Navistar plans to offer its International brand of medium-duty vehicles with more engine and transmission options to customers. It even struck a deal with Cummins to put its diesels in some of the models.
