This truck has been restored as a tribute to the 343 FDNY firefighters who died on 9-11-2011. The vehicle runs and drives as new, with less than 10 miles since a complete, frame-off restoration. A new speedometer with zero miles goes with the truck.
The truck was originally used as a utility vehicle in Arizona and is not an FDNY official vehicle. It has a 3.89 rear gear and would be a good tow vehicle for any sort of FDNY Tribute trailer in parade use.
The photos illustrate some of the rebuild. Note that all the underhood wiring has been run through the frame rails, and that the batteries have been located in the rear utility body. This is a rust-free vehicle, as can be seen in photos showing the bare metal doors, hood and cab. The goal has been to keep the truck clean and the equipment as original, except for adding front disk brakes.
The period-correct sirens, radio, hailer, fire extinguishers, fire helmet and other items are included. Also included are FDNY Firehouse log books from 1964, to give a sense of the activities of a station house when this truck was a new vehicle.
The truck comes with a spare starter, alternator and carburetor, along with a full engine gasket set.

Curtain officially comes down on Mercury as dealers remove signage
Mon, 03 Jan 2011The process of shutting down the Mercury is complete. Ford officially made the decision to close its mid-level brand in June of 2010. In the months that followed, Ford offered its dealers money to stop selling the cars, with production shutting down in September. The last Mercury, a Mariner, rolled off the assembly line in the beginning of October and former spokesperson Jill Wagner said her good-byes to both the car and her job. Now the last piece of the brand has come down as dealers are removing any and all Mercury signage from their lots.

Watch this awesome R/C car chase scene made with cardboard and glue
Fri, 22 Feb 2013It never ceases to amaze us how much video production talent you can find on YouTube, especially when considering movies like Battleship actually exist on the silver screen. It's even better, of course, when cars are involved, which is why we can't stop watching this car chase between a pair of radio controlled Ford Mustangs.
Racing through a detailed set built in the middle of a public street using just "cardboard, hot glue and spray paint," this video is possibly even greater than The Greatest R/C Car Chase Ever that we saw last year. With the exception of a fruit stand and/or a plate-glass window being carried across the street, this has all the makings of a classic cliché chase scene.
Scroll down to watch the scaled-down action ensue as well as the full-scale conclusion.
Ford recalling 850,000 cars and SUVs for airbag issues
Fri, 26 Sep 2014Ford has announced a major recall of 850,000 vehicles from model years 2013 and 2014 due to a problem with the "restraints control module."
According to Ford, a short circuit could develop in the module, causing the airbag warning light to illuminate. In more severe cases, dependent on where the short develops, the airbags and seatbelt pre-tensioners may not work in the event of an accident. The problems can be more wide-ranging than that, too, as systems that rely on information from the control module, such as the stability control can be affected.
With 850,000 vehicles affected, it's no surprise that some of Ford's volume leaders are covered. That includes the Fusion and Lincoln MKZ sedans, as well as the incredibly recall-prone Escape and the C-Max MPV.
