Hey there, you’re looking at my 1947 Ford pickup truck. This is a California rust free example VERY RARE!! I found this truck in Utah a couple years ago and that gentleman purchased it out of California and had owned it several years. Looks to be a professional build based on the quality of the way it’s put together. Every nut and bolt has been touched and it has had a complete frame up build. Looks to have been originally completed in 1999 based on the car show stickers in the cab above the passenger windshield. Condition is still very good driver quality and the truck has been driven 10,600 miles since its build. It is NOT PERFECT and does show some wear so be aware of that. It has been well taken care of and drives so nice!!! The body, bed and tailgate are all original!! No glass or aftermarket sheet metal on this one!! Now the goodies … powered by a 289 Ford; motor is tight, no smoke and awesome oil pressure. The truck is backed up with a Hughes performance C-4 automatic transmission and a 9in Ford rear. Its geared for cruising, perhaps a 300 ratio? Cruises the highway speeds without any problems!! Built old school with a set of try Y headers, Smitty glass packs, Coker Classics and a retro tach to boot. Mustang Two front end with power disk brakes and power steering. Original frame, boxed in front. Just a nice old truck that gets thumbs up everywhere you go. It has a stainless fuel cell in back of bed and it does have lap belts and a charging jack under the seat for your phone, GPS etc. If you have any questions please feel free to email me or call, I can send any additional pics at your request. It is for sale locally so I can end this auction if I choose. Happy bidding, you will not be disappointed. My cell is 804-690-6364; ask for Michael, or by email, corvet4us@comcast.net. Winning bidder will be responsible for $1,000.00 deposit and shipping to be arranged by purchaser. Funds to be sent via wire transfer, certified cashier’s check or cash. Vehicle will not be released until funds are cleared.

How the Ford Shelby Mustang came to be

Fri, 20 Sep 2013

Even as rumors swirl that the next-generation of high-performance Ford Mustang will drop the Shelby name, Ford has released a short video telling how the legend of the Shelby Mustang came to be. In its latest installment of its video series entitled Mustang Countdown, Ford dug up some footage from Carroll Shelby to give a little insight into how this automotive icon was created.
While it's definitely interesting to hear the late legend tell the story in his own words (including numerous references to the 1964 Mustang as a "secretary's car"), it's also pretty funny learning exactly how the Shelby GT350 got its name in the first place - a name allegedly making a comeback as the replacement for the current Shelby GT500. As development work continues on the 2015 Ford Mustang, the Shelby video posted below shows that the automaker is always looking at its past - even as it looks ahead to the future.

Ford books $1.2B profit in second quarter on strength of trucks

Wed, 24 Jul 2013

Ford is rolling along nicely, with a positive second-quarter sales report and a $2.3 billion profit in North America. The Dearborn, Michigan-based manufacturer captured $1.2 billion globally from April to June, with a $177 million profit in Asia. Even in Europe, the land of doom and gloom for automakers not named Mazda, Ford saw some success as it lowered its expected full-year loss from $2 billion to $1.8 billion. The company lost $348 million in Europe during the second quarter, which, believe it or not, represents a $56-million improvement over 2012.
According to the report on CNBC, Ford enjoyed a three-percent increase in pre-market trading thanks to the news. The strong demand for the F-150 propelled growth in the US market, while Ford's 47-percent increase in Asian sales can be attributed to the new EcoSport crossover and Kuga (Ford Escape in the US) arriving in the somewhat fragile Chinese market.
Pre-tax profits for Ford are expected to be in the neighborhood of $8 billion by the end of the year, with sales the US, Europe, and China all looking up. The company also shifted $4.78 billion of asset-backed debt in the form of bonds, according to a report by Bloomberg. This move came amidst rumors of the Federal Reserve cutting back on its $85-billion-per-month bond purchases. Ford wasn't alone among automakers looking to sell off debt, though, as Mercedes-Benz and Nissan shifted around $1 billion each in bonds relating to auto loans.

Ford, Volvo top 2014 EyesOn Design awards

Fri, 17 Jan 2014

Each year at the Detroit Auto Show, the top vehicle designs are recognized with the prestigious EyesOn Design award for production and concept vehicles. This year, the 32 EyesOn Design judges (comprised of current and former vehicle designers including Chrysler designer and SRT president Ralph Gilles, Kia designer Peter Schreyer and retired General Motors designer Wayne Cherry) handed out three awards for the Best Concept Vehicle, Best Production Vehicle and Innovative Use of Color, Graphics, and Materials.
Beating out the Mercedes C-Class and Ford F-150, the 2015 Ford Mustang was named the Best Production Vehicle as the top auto show debut at this year's Detroit show. The 2014 Volvo Concept XC Coupe took home awards as the Best Concept Vehicle and for its Innovative Use of Color, Graphics and Materials.
Considering the Volvo's primer grey hue and subtle orange accents, it was a rather surprising winner for Innovative Use of Color, Graphics, and Materials over flashier concepts like the Toyota FT-1 and our Editors' Choice top pick, the Kia GT4 Stinger. Other vehicles in the running for the concept car award include the GT4 Stinger and Audi Allroad Shooting Brake
