Started frame off restoration and custom build in 1993. Finished complete in 1996. This truck won best of class in the super F-100 nationals in Palm Springs on the carpet of the convention center the year it was completed around 1996. No expense spared on original build.

Engine has approximately 5-10,000 thousand miles as it was rarely driven to car shows and on rare occasions. Previously registered as Historical vehicle since 1993 till recently which limited the driving to and from events only. I have the historical plates and a full photo album of the start to finish restoration. Truck is in remarkable condition considering the time since i restored it. It has only 1 very small dent in bottom corner of grill under headlight, It has 2 small areas were the paint chipped on the hood and 1 chip on the drivers side on bed. Tailgate was customized after restoration from a different shop and paint did not adhere properly and needs to be repainted. paint on truck is epoxy/clear and feels like glass. It was originally color sanded and buffed at a cost of $6500 for paint work alone.Truck will benefit from a spray on bed liner. Bed originally sprayed as zolatone and is flaking. I have over $50,000 invested and intended on re-restoration but now need to sale do to financial hardship. I plan to repaint the tailgate and replace the carpet (faded) ( seat and headliner looks as new ) ($450 padded dash has no cracks) and fix the remaining minor issues ( needs new turn signal cam gear installed in steering column to fix blinkers ) that it has if i am unsuccessful selling it as is now ( the price i will ask if i complete the work will have to increase closer to its true value. This needs to be a quick sale. Truck just received clay bar/wax/polished wheels( Centerline Convo-pros ) and oil/trans fluid/coolant changed. brand new Optima BLUE TOP BATTERY. Tires installed new in 2008 and have no wear at all on tread. original tires had no wear but were replaced in 2008 due to the age of the tire. Engine compartment needs to be detailed and will shine/much chrome and aluminum. Added power disc brakes a few months ago at a cost of $3100 and planned on keeping truck and re-restoring. Out of work now and decided to sell quick as is. I will miss this truck for sure. Thanks for your interest.

Ford Mustang was almost 'Imported from Detroit'
Wed, Oct 7 2015The Ford Mustang achieved iconic status nearly the moment the sheet came off at the 1964 World's Fair. And if Henry Ford II wasn't getting divorced around that time, the pony car might have been called the Torino and been marketed as 'Imported from Detroit,' according to Automotive News. We'll explain. During research for the new book Once in a Great City: A Detroit Story, author David Maraniss found an interesting connection between Chrysler's (now FCA US) slogan and the Ford Mustang. Before the pony car even had a name, the Blue Oval's advertising agency had the idea to market it as a "brand new import ... from Detroit," according to Automotive News. The vehicle would be sold as "inspired by Italy's great road cars, but straight from Detroit." The name Torino was suggested, as well. However, the real world interfered in making the Mustang Detroit's first import. According to the author, Henry Ford II was getting a divorce, and his future wife was Italian. It was therefore thought to be a bad idea to sell the future pony car as being from Italy. Things clearly changed by the time the Torino hit the streets years later. Related Video:
Ford invests $682 million in Edge-producing Canadian facility
Sun, 22 Sep 2013Ford announced that it's investing $682 million in its Oakville assembly plant in Ontario, Canada, to make it a global manufacturing plant, which the automaker also says secures 2,800 jobs there. Including this injection of cash, Ford has invested over $2 billion in Canada in the last decade, starting with nearly $1 billion for Oakville in 2004, and over $570 million for its Essex Engine Plant in 2010.
The move to make Oakville a global manufacturer of Ford vehicles means, "If consumers suddenly shift their buying habits, we can seamlessly change our production mix without having to idle a plant," says Joe Hinrichs, Ford's president of the Americas.
Ford says that the latest investment will help it meet North American demand for the Oakville-produced Edge crossover, which is on track this year to beat 2007's US sales record of 130,000 Edges. The Ford Flex and Lincoln MKX and MKT are also manufactured at the plant.
Ford dealers offered discounts on tools to fix aluminum
Mon, 27 Jan 2014With the introduction of the aluminum-bodied 2015 Ford F-150 (and the likely use of aluminum in future Ford products), Ford is looking to help its dealerships reduce costs related to repairing this more labor-intensive material. Automotive News is reporting that Ford dealers with body shops will require an estimated $30,000 to $50,000 in equipment and training to work on aluminum, and to help alleviate the financial burden of the new F-150, Ford has announced a special 20-percent discount on this equipment.
Dealers will be able to save up to $10,000 on tools such as welders, air-filtration systems and rivet guns and to create aluminum-specific work stations. The new F-150 goes on sale in the fourth quarter, and dealers have until October 31 to take advantage of this deal, according to the report.
