1968 Ford F100 Flareside (Stepside), runs, drives, and stops like it should. This is not a show truck but a great daily driver. I have a clear Tennessee Title. Has a 6 cylinder 240 engine with a 3 speed transmission. The truck has recently been painted the original color of Skyview Blue. Whoever did the painting and body work did a very good job, but I don’t think it was done by a professional. The glass is all good except for a couple of stone chips and a small scratch. I have not found any serious rust. Tires are good, all the lights and turn signals work, AM/FM radio works, the gauges seem to be accurate, the seat is in good condition, and the horn works. The interior needs to be painted and restored. Could use new rubber.

I received almost a 1/2 gallon of the Skyview Blue paint that will go with the truck. I found a tailgate that will go with the truck. You can see by the picture that it needs work. Also included in the sale are Volume’s 1, 2, and 3 of the Shop Manuals, Body Assembly Manual, Wiring Diagram, and the original Owner’s Manual.

This truck is in great shape for its age. There is No Warranty expressed or implied. The millage has rolled over and is unknown. The truck is sold as is, and it is for sale locally, so I reserve the right to cancel early. Shipping arrangements and payment is the buyer’s responsibility. I will assist in loading. $500 Paypal non-refundable deposit is due within 24 hours of the end of sale, with the remaining balance due within 7 days via cash or bank check. Check must clear before pick up.

The truck is located in eastern Tennessee. You are more than welcome to come and inspect the truck before making a reasonable offer.

Thank You

Watch the Hennessey Ford GT makes its record run at Texas Mile

Wed, 27 Mar 2013

We said they'd probably be out with an official video, we did not lie. The Hennessey-powered camouflage Ford GT sat at one end of the runway at the Texas Mile sitting still. At the other end of the runway it had broken its own speed record, the twin-turbo 5.7-liter V8 pushing the aerodynamic supercar up to 267.6 miles per hour, a 4.3-mph improvement over the old mark.
There's not much in the video you haven't already seen, this just makes it official. That said, who doesn't want to see a twin-turbo Ford GT set an incredible speed record? You can watch it below.

Production Ford Escort heading for Beijing

Wed, 16 Apr 2014

Ford's long-dormant Escort nameplate returned affixed to a sedan concept at last year's Shanghai Motor Show. While not exactly a beauty, it showed a clean, straightforward take on Ford's current styling. The Blue Oval said at the time that it wanted to create a model that was stylish "but not one that is arrogant or pretentious." Job done. A year later, it looks like the minimalist vehicle might make its production debut at the Beijing Motor Show.
Autocar claims that the streetgoing version has been confirmed to it for the upcoming show, but so far, Ford isn't saying. If unveiled, the Escort is likely to be produced locally for the Chinese market with a domestic partner. Powertrain details remain a secret, but it seems highly likely that any production model would use a small three- or four-cylinder engine and front-wheel drive. Sales in other major world markets like ours are unlikely, but a test car was recently spotted in Europe.
Autoblog contacted Ford for confirmation, but the automaker demurred, with a spokesperson saying only, "At the moment, we are not confirming any vehicles planned for the show." It looks like we will have to wait to know for sure.

Court puts kibosh on apartheid lawsuit against Ford, Daimler

Thu, 22 Aug 2013

Ford and Daimler have scored a major victory in a long-running lawsuit filed in US federal court by unnamed South African nationals. The suit alleges that both manufacturers and their subsidiaries sold their vehicles to the South African military, despite knowing that they'd be involved in violently putting down anti-apartheid protesters.
According to Reuters, South African plaintiffs filed the case under the 223-year-old Alien Torts Statute, a law which allows foreign nationals to file charges in US courts for perceived breaches of what was originally international law, but now more closely relates to violations of human rights.
And while the case - which also involves computer manufacturer IBM - has been tied up in federal courts for years, a recent case from the Supreme Court struck down a similar suit against Royal Dutch Petroleum (Shell), arguing that the ATS doesn't apply to corporations or to conduct if it occurred outside the US. In short, the law applies to individuals, but not corporations like Ford or Daimler. A US appeals court ruled that the conditions apply in this case, potentially drawing this long-running saga to a close, as the defendants will now be allowed to request that the case be dismissed in district court.
