For your consideration, 1963 Ford Econoline 5 Window V8 / auto conversion hot rod.  A clean and well engineered conversion using a mid 70's 302 V8 and C4 auto transmission.  The truck even uses original on the tree shift lever
to actuate auto linkage.  The truck looks pretty close to stock but with 1965 Mustang Seats and American Racing torque thrust 15" wheels.  The side pipes and V8 emblems along with headers let you know a V8 lurks underneath.
This truck has been driven although it has a show quality 10k paint job, there are some chip touchups and the Rhino lined bed has a few chips, but again this truck drives, runs and looks amazing.   I am an auto appraiser, love cars
and this truck has been a 4 year joy to restore and drive.  The truck came from Washington State, then Montana, then to CT where I restored.  It has the Washington St title and I will provide a Connecticut Bill Of Sale as we do not issue titles on vintage vehicles.    Keep in mind, this truck is 51 years old and has rattles, squeaks and drives like an old truck, it is NOT a Lexus.  Probably better to summarize:

Reason For Sale:  I just don't drive it enough and with 2 kids, I am looking for a 4 seat type of toy :)

Highlights and standouts from the 2015 LA Auto Show

Thu, Nov 19 2015

This year's LA Auto Show has been packed with interesting debuts and fascinating industry trends. The Autoblog team is on the scene to examine all the new metal, and Senior Editor Greg Migliore has some show highlights for us in the video above. In particular, the new Fiat 124 Spider and Honda Civic Coupe stand out as important debuts. The Fiat is based on the excellent Mazda Miata, with a turbocharged 1.4-liter engine and revised styling. The Civic Coupe is a striking redesign of an extremely popular and important model for the company. And the restyled Ford Escape looks more like its bigger brother, the Explorer. There's this an much more in our video above. Watch it and let us know what you think – and look for more LA Auto Show coverage coming soon.

Ford and 'Dirty Jobs' pitchman Mike Rowe part ways [w/videos]

Thu, 20 Feb 2014

Former Dirty Jobs host Mike Rowe has one less job as of today - the pitchman is no longer a pitchman for Ford, with yesterday's announcement from Rowe ending a seven-year partnership between the TV host and the Blue Oval.
Rowe made the announcement to political pundit Glenn Beck, saying the two are "going in different directions" and wishing Ford "every possibly success that any car company could ever have," according to The Detroit News. Rowe and Ford got together in 2005, right around the time the 51-year-old came to prominence as the host of Dirty Jobs and the narrator for Deadliest Catch, two of the Discovery Channel's most popular shows.
Take a look below for a few video snippets of Rowe's tenure at Ford.

2015 Ford Mustang Convertible makes inappropriate appearance in Detroit [w/video]

Tue, 14 Jan 2014

With the polar vortex fresh in the minds of Autoblog's Detroit-based staff, we're finding it funny that any manufacturer would choose January in the Motor City to show off a new and highly anticipated convertible to the general media and public for the first time. But Ford has done just that, giving us our first real peek at the new Mustang Convertible in the flesh.
The new Mustang Convertible is more or less unchanged from the standard coupe, with some subtle styling tweaks to accommodate the retractable soft top. Engine and transmission choices are identical to the hardtop, although we should expect slightly lower performance due to the hardware for the roof. Like the coupe, neither prices nor performance metrics have been published yet for the convertible.
