Sometimes you get the chance to find some well preserved trucks.  And sometimes you get to find some that are just amazing.  This is the amazing one.  So I thought I would test the waters and see if there was anyone interested in it before I start in on it.   The truck from what I have learned belonged to a gentlemen in California who owned an old oil business back in the day.  He ordered it with this custom color for his business.  The truck was in the CA desert its entirety and was built in the San Jose plant.  The vin plate has the letters "SS" stamped in the color section.  That means special order from the factory.  The truck is almost all original.  It has never been painted and does not have any cancer.  In fact, it is very straight except a little fender bender that any collision shop with the right tools could help pull out.  It still has the spare tire under the bed and the beds strips are usable if you wanted to keep that original patina look that is very popular.  The interior is in good shape for it's age and the dash is uncut... The chassis has not been chopped and it is all original.  The only thing that was changed recently by an excited owner that I bought it from was the motor.  It came with a 223, but now has a good running 390 Engine and 4 speed trans.  The motor runs good and the brakes work as well. He left the linkage on the steering column in case you want to go backwards.   The motor seems to have lots of power.  And the install was clean.  Not hacked up.  If you have any questions please call me or send me an email. Jason 480-619-8353     I have owned probably 30 of these trucks and have loved them all but one.  :)  

Thanks for looking, The truck is currently in Arizona.

If you are a zero bidder, please contact me before bidding.  I will cancel your bids if you don't qualify yourself upfront.  

And although this is a running driving truck, I can't guarantee it will drive across the country or even 50 miles across town.  So please make arrangements to have it shipped if you buy it.  I also have tried to describe the truck to the best of my ability.   I strongly recommend that you call or email me with your questions so that you are not confused at what you are getting.  There is NO WARRANTY expressed or implied.  Buyer buys it AS IS.

These horribly misguided front-drive design studies nearly became the Mustang

Fri, 08 Nov 2013

As we eagerly await the unveiling of the all-new sixth-generation Mustang, Ford has been giving us some great information over the past few months showing what has gone into shaping its venerable pony car. As many changes as the Mustang has gone through in its 50 years, though, it appears the fourth-gen model played a decisive and pivotal role in the car's future.
As is part of Mustang lore, the front-wheel drive Ford Probe was originally developed as a next-generation Mustang in the Eighties before cooler heads prevailed. The Blue Oval has just released a handful of images showing how bad things could have been - including a full-scale clay model of a front-wheel-drive Mustang (shown above). Fortunately, the FWD Mustang plan was scrapped and Ford went to work designing a rear-wheel-drive replacement for the Fox Body Mustang, with three design studies making it far enough to become full-scale models. These include the soft "Bruce Jenner" Mustang, the over-the-top "Rambo" Mustang and the middle-ground "Arnold Schwarzenegger" Mustang, which finally became the basis for the 1994 'Stang.
By early 1991, the design language of the fourth-generation Mustang had been worked out, and the rest, they say, is history. Scroll down for the fascinating press release telling the story of the fourth-gen Mustang, and be sure to check out the gallery of horribly misguided sketches and various design studies that were all on the table in the late 1980s.

Ford Transit Skyliner Concept is a Gulfstream for the road

Sat, 12 Apr 2014

If you are afraid to fly or just want to arrive at your ultimate destination in absolute comfort, then the Ford Transit Skyliner concept might be the perfect vehicle for you. Built by Galpin Auto Sports and based on a 2015 Transit, the van is basically a private jet on wheels. It even has a touch of Transformers about it with the ability to switch between four modes by pressing a button in a smartphone app.
Based on the long wheelbase, high-roof model with 487 cubic feet of cargo space and 6 feet, 9.5 inches of interior height, the Skyliner has movable captains chairs that shift around among four modes. In theater mode, the seats turn and recline to face a 52-inch retractable movie screen with 7.2 surround sound. For business, a motorized table unfolds, and the chairs gather around it. There is a mode for tailgating where the door opens four-feet wide, and, when traveling, passengers can recline back with footrests that extend for maximum comfort.
To make the ride even plusher, there is a satellite and media server to meet your entertainment needs, and there is even a built-in bar in the back. If this Ford had a bathroom, you could live in it. Of course, you would need to hire a driver to enjoy all the amenities in the back.

Ford pulls official support from top-level NHRA teams

Sun, 11 Aug 2013

As the smallest team in the sport, it wasn't really a surprise when Dodge decided to pull out of NASCAR, but Autoweek is reporting that Ford is looking to pull the plug on its professional-level NHRA sponsorships following the 2014 season. With attendance and television ratings down, the article reports that Ford is just backing out of the top series but will remain active in the Sportsman classes of racing, which are geared more toward the grassroots and semi-professional racers.
This means that one of drag racing's biggest names, John Force, will be left looking for new sponsorship after next season. Force, 64, has been with Ford for 17 years, winning 15 championships in that time and winning almost half of all Funny Car events in his Mustang since he started working with Ford in 1997, but after 2014, there could be some big shakeups at John Force Racing.
According to the report, Force would consider is moving over to the Top Fuel dragster series, although he could also move to another manufacturer to remain in the Funny Car series. With Ford on the way out, this leaves just Toyota and Dodge as the remaining active automakers in the highest levels of drag racing.
