1960 Ford F 350 in pretty good shape for a 53 year old truck. I bought it for a firewood truck but I am having second thoughts, I think it's to nice for that. 

It runs well, runs out at 50 +/- mph but the ride is rough by today's standards. Steering is amazingly tight, breaks pull slightly to the right, trans sits in gear and is quiet. Transmission is a 4 on the floor and the shift pattern is kinda loose but works fine once your use to it. Headlights, brights, blinkers work, break lights work but stay on, gauges, fuel and water temp work. Doors slam shut tight and are in line. Drivers window has a crack which is not bad, the window functions fine. Passenger window has multiple cracks and a small hole, The window functions fine but should probably be replaced. Windshield, rear window and window vents are in good condition with no cracks and function properly. Wipers are vacuum and need new blades, the previous owner said they function fine. However, I have not tried them. Heater works well.

Sheet metal is ok. Doors, cab and floor have been worked on, they look good but were not professionally done, fuel tank works well and doesn't seem to leak. Tires are ok, frame seems solid, breaks seem good and the cooling system seems to work fine and doesn't seem to leak. Battery and generator seem to work fine but I haven't owned it long enough to know. The exhaust system is ok at best and will require attention.

When I purchased it I drove it over a 100 miles home and other than complete strangers gawking and waving the trip went well and was a non event. Wherever I go people come up to me and tell me how cool it is. This has got me thinking maybe it's to nice for a firewood truck and maybe I should go find an old 1989 beater and beat that to death. So I have decided to put it up for auction. I don't want to give it away as my family is already in love with it, but i'd like to put the money into my barn.    

The truck runs well and turns heads. It is 53 years old so it will need some attention. In the right hands it could be made show quality. Or park it in front of your business as is and watch the folks, young and old, flock to it.  

Good luck bidding. I can be reached via email or by phone at 517 673 3030. Thank you. Kevin

How privacy fears are driving automakers in the age of the connected car [w/poll]

Wed, Aug 27 2014

A recent GAO report concluded car companies don't adequately disclose how and why they share location data. As cars collect and store more and more data about the whereabouts of their drivers, automakers are responding to critics who say they should be more transparent about how those details are used. Ford is hiring a global privacy policy attorney to craft the company's customer privacy policies in the era of connected and autonomous cars. "In this emerging space, there is an important need to address customer privacy policies," reads a job description posted on the "people and careers" portion of the company's website. "As part of our compliance and ethics organization at Ford, this person will have an immediate and direct impact in shaping existing and future policy and corporate thinking in this area." Ford is creating the new position, based at its Dearborn headquarters, at a time technology advances are outpacing privacy protections. Earlier this year, a report from the federal government concluded car companies don't adequately disclose to motorists how and why they share location data. That report, from the Government Accountability Office, found many car companies did not describe how they shared location data, did not allow consumers to request their data be deleted and that there was a "wide variation" in how car companies retained vehicle-specific or identifiable location data. It noted there is increased risk of location data being used in ways "consumers did not intend." Ford was one of 10 companies the GAO surveyed while compiling its report. Customers are opting to share that data largely by using features like maps and turn-by-turn direction that are run by a vehicle's telematics unit. Depending on the company, it can be unclear how that data is collected, retained or shared. At the time the GAO report was issued, AAA, the nation's largest motoring club, urged carmakers to be more transparent in how they handle data and to offer stronger security protections. Shaping Autonomous Car Regulations At Ford, the new hire could change how the company handles that data. According to the job description, the successful applicant will, "demonstrate visionary thinking around privacy strategy – imagine how consumer and employee expectations around privacy may evolve and how business should adapt, develop approaches that maximize the benefit of data sharing for consumers and business, etc." (Emphasis from Ford).

TX officer allegedly lets 140-mph street racer go with a warning [w/poll]

Tue, 26 Aug 2014

Being pulled over by the police is one of the most nerve-racking situations that a driver can go through, and it's even worse when you know that the officer has you dead to rights for speeding well over the posted limit. In this video, the driver of a heavily modified Ford Mustang with a claimed 966 horsepower at the rear wheels could have easily lost his ride for doing triple-digit speeds and street racing, but a friendly Texas police officer appears to send him on his way with a simple warning.
What's more, the driver in question wasn't just speeding - his Mustang was the camera car for a bunch of rolling street races in the wee hours of the morning on a Texas highway. The driver was more than willing to mix it up in the action, too. Eventually the cops catch on and pick the 'Stang to pull over, but not before the Ford owner runs a claimed 140 mph. With only audio to go on after the car is pulled over, the police officer seems incredibly nonchalant about catching someone who was so brazenly breaking the law. Incredibly, the patrolman actually tells the driver that he's seen everyone racing tonight but ignored them. With traffic picking up, the cop says that it's time to "cut it out" and go home for the night. As far as this video shows, that was the end of it.
Warning: There is explicit, not-safe-for-work language in the video below.

George W. Bush's 2009 Ford F-150 fizzles with $300,000 bid at Barrett-Jackson [UPDATE: w/video]

Sun, 20 Jan 2013

Despite some truly impassioned pleading from Jay Leno himself - including calling on Arizona's notoriously Republican-rich voters to beat the $600,000 level set the last time Leno sold a vehicle for this particular charity... in California - bidding for George Bush's 2009 Ford F-150 pickup truck stalled at $300,000.
All proceeds will be sent to the Fisher House Foundation, so at least it's $300K going to a good cause. Feel free to check out the live image gallery above, which includes shots showing Leno's skills helming the auction, and read through the official auction description below.
*UPDATE: Video of the auction and Leno's prods to the crowd for more money can now be seen below.
