It started 1940 ford truck, cab was chopped and orginal frame has been modified from engine back its 40 ford truck. all spring perches and bushings replaced. new shocks. from cab forward the frame came from a 30 desoto car( I needed a long frame for the 300 6 cylinder ford motor). has original seat which is covered with indian blanket. all new gauges which work except the tact and I think that problem is this tact wont work with a 6 cyl. chevy steeering column. all lights and signals work. 8" ford rear with 279 gears its 54" long. it has power brakes and they work fine. the mirros were made from a light fixture they work. doors shut nice. chop was done pretty nice. on rear or bed it actually is a metal bed frame I modified to fit the truck and covered with a flag. gas tank and battery is under it. still room to put another box for accessaries. fire place irons and corvette tailights are on rear for bumper. up front like I mentioned is 300 6 cyl ford from a 1979 truck with 55,000 miles on it runs very good single barrel carb. has ford sticker on block. ford truck rad engine runs in 90's degree heat 155 degrees. 40 international grill with gold bullets and bullets are on cowl also. ford headlights which are installed on two more brass fire place irons which are attacted to 04 crown victoria front suspention very nice setup which has 11" rotors and dual piston calipers. power steering is not hooked up I am looking for a pump and bracket setup that goes on this engine. then it can be made to work. it has 255/40/17 falken tires on saw blade wheels on front. saw blade wheels on rear with 275/40/17 ventus tires looks wide and cool to me. I took it on maiden voyage last friday everything went fine. I took it down a bumpy road a 30 miles an hour just to check my welds and bolts not on thing move.

This unique '64 Mustang was Edsel Ford II's first car
Thu, 02 Jan 2014You probably had the same dream when you were a teenager. Your sixteenth birthday is coming up, or Christmas, or maybe both, and all you want is a muscle car to call your own. That dream has come true for some, and one of them was none other than Edsel Ford II.
Henry Ford's great grandson turned 16 on December 27, 1964 - two days after Christmas and eight months after the original Mustang went on sale. And that's just what was waiting for him in the driveway, courtesy of his father (and reigning chief executive) Henry Ford II.
The specially-prepared pony car had a pearlescent cream paintjob with narrow blue racing stripes, functional hood scoop, chrome trim, Euro-spec fender-mounted mirrors, a blue leather and aluminum interior, a monogrammed fuel cap... and a 289-cubic-inch V8 under the hood.
Mercury rises around sexy Cougar pack
Sat, May 30 2015With a slightly larger body and a more luxurious interior, the Mercury Cougar doesn't carry quite as much cachet among pony car enthusiasts as the venerable Ford Mustang. But don't try to make that argument around Cougar super-fan Mike Brown. Since starting his Cougar collecting in 1988, Brown has become an absolute expert on the model, and he claims to have owned 400 of the Mercury pony cars in that time. Ten of them are in his collection today, not to mention a heap of spare parts in the garage. Check out some of the rarer members of Brown's fleet and allow him to tell you about them in this interesting interview from Electric Federal.
Former Ford president, Jaguar chairman Nick Scheele dead at 70
Sun, 20 Jul 2014We have the privilege here at Autoblog of reporting a lot of good news, but it is our duty as well to report the bad news and sad news as well. And this is one of those occasions as the automotive industry mourns the passing of one of its leaders.
Nick Scheele was born in the UK in 1944 and joined the Ford Motor Company upon graduating from the University of Durham in 1966, staying within the Blue Oval's portfolio for the entirety of his career. After moving to North America in 1978, he rose through the ranks to become president of Ford's Mexican operations in 1988. After acquiring Jaguar, Ford appointed Scheele as its chairman.
Scheele subsequently acted as chairman of all of Ford's European operations, making difficult decisions to take the division out of the red and into the black. He briefly headed up Ford's North American division before he was appointed in 2001 as president and chief operating officer of the global automaker, working under CEO Bill Ford following the departure of Jacques Nasser departure and retaining the role until his retirement in 2005.
