The condition of the exterior, interior and engine can vary depending on the vehicle's history. See the seller's listing for full details and description of any imperfections.Seller Notes:"Has a lot of rust. One bent fender, but pretty straight otherwise. Rusty hood springs are preventing the hood from latching. Parts are missing from the engine. Wires are missing from the harness. Glass is all good!"

This old timer has a lot of issues if one was to consider it to be a revival project. It has been sitting for a long time and is pretty rusty. I do have an open title for it, but the last time it was tagged was in 1995.

I drove this truck 60 miles back to town to a garage back in 2000 when I bought it to have the engine rebuilt. Unfortunately the garage started taking it apart, and then went out of business over night and the landlord threw away the box of parts that were removed after they were kicked out. The picture under the hood shows the lack of parts. I then towed it to a place for storage where thieves raided all the wiring they could see under the hood. As I said... major project for refurbishing. It might be a good father/son project, but Dad would need to be a very savvy veteran with welding and engine experience. It would probably be better for the parts remaining.

One thing going for it is that all of the glass is good. The body is pretty straight except for a bent passengers side back fender (pictured). But it does have a lot of rust. The cab floor is pretty far gone. It was a Missouri Forestry Dpt. vehicle, and they added diamond plate steel to the bed. And they moved the gas line from behind the cab on the drivers side to the drivers side back fender. It says U-1 on the top for helicopters to see. There are a few holes in the top where a siren and beacon were once installed.

It has a three on the tree transmission. 

It's rough, and it is what it is. Please bid knowing all of this, and plan on towing on a trailer or flatbed because all four tires are flat and too far gone to hold air more than 10 minutes or so.

I'm happy to try to answer questions, but in all honesty I never really got to know it well. I bought it, drove it to that garage, and never got a chance to drive it since. If you are interested in it in its existing condition, then I guarantee you that you probably know more about it than I do.

Shelby GT500 and Roush Stage 3 go head to head at the drag strip

Wed, 07 Aug 2013

The Ford Mustang is a brilliantly affordable source of horsepower, with a base 300-plus-horsepower version available for well under $30,000. Jumping up to about $35,000 will get you a solid 420 horsepower from a high-revving V8, while those with some extra disposable income can get a pair of 600-plus-horsepower monsters. Both the Roush Stage 3 with its Phase 3 package and Ford's factory Shelby GT500 even crest the 650-horsepower mark, with 675 and 662 ponies, respectively.
Naturally, someone needed to find out which of these hi-po Mustangs was the quickest. And while this video is quite obviously a dealership commercial, at least there's some solid drag racing between two of the most powerful performance machines available for under $100,000.
With two NHRA drag racers at the wheel, the Stage 3 and GT500 go head to head for three races. Scroll down below to see the results in the full video.

Ford Transit Skyliner Concept does discreet luxury in NYC

Thu, 17 Apr 2014

There's something to be said for luxed-out vans. They're cool, and as a means of getting chauffeured about, they're extremely comfortable and far more low key than your typical executive luxury sedan. For the 2014 New York Auto Show, Galpin Auto Sports has shown the potential of the new-for-the-US Ford Transit as an ultra-luxurious people hauler.
The Transit Skyliner Concept, which we previewed last week, sports four finely crafted captain's buckets that can be moved into different formations based on need. Want to watch a movie? The seats can be swung around to face a 52-inch screen. Riding along with some business associates? A table can be popped up. There's even a configuration for tailgating.
The materials are, unsurprisingly, pretty plush. The leather seats and wood floors (yes, wood floors in a van) look great, while the trunk and its customized luggage are a nice touch, as well.

Ford to announce Mulally retirement, Fields CEO as early as May 1

Mon, 21 Apr 2014

Ford CEO Alan Mulally may be about to announce his long-rumored retirement from the Blue Oval, according to a pair of insiders who spoke to Bloomberg. An official statement on the succession could arrive as soon as May 1. Chief Operating Officer Mark Fields is rumored to step up as the new CEO. The company is said to be readying the announcement soon to ensure an orderly transition of power, according to the insiders.
Mulally's retirement from Ford has been a hot topic for a while. He was seriously rumored last year to be leaving the automaker to take over as the CEO of Microsoft. The board even said at one point that it was okay with them if he stepped down early. However, the CEO maintained he would stay with the business through at least the end of 2014. Fields has been rumored as a frontrunner to take over the top spot at the company since he was promoted to COO.
For the moment, Ford isn't officially confirming any of these plans. "We don't comment on speculation. We do have succession plans in place for our key leadership. We take succession planning very seriously," said Susan Krusel, Ford Global News Manager, to Autoblog.
