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 :)

The Good and Highlights

- V8 (Ford 302) conversion with Chevy doghouse used

- new Edelbrock manifold and carb

- Hedman custom headers and sidepipes

- Automatic c4 transmission

- Ford 9" rear end

- all original metal

- Optima battery

- NO RUST, no dents

- Chassis was coated with epoxy paint and is CLEAN

- American Racing Torque Thrust II wheels, tires are 60%

- FRONT disc brakes - this is great for the truck to make it more easily and safely drive-able

- 10k show paint job with Rhino lined bed

- Aftermarket stereo with iPhone hookup - sounds great

- ENTIRE truck restored, new handles, new visors, dash knobs

- Interior was dynomatted, insulated, carpeted with rubber mats- MINT

- Custom interior accents - 1965 Mustang seats

- Tuck and Roll roof and interior panels

- Simpson lap belts (racing latch)

- All glass, trim, emblems are new or excellent

- bobbed off fenders and powder coated grill

- All parts new in last 3 years

What the truck Needs

- Needs temperature gauge hooked up

- The heater is plumbed open to allow better cooling, so no heat, but never drove in winter or cold

- Fuel gauge is intermittent

- Few chips / scratches touch ups

- Engine compartment needs detailing

- a cool new owner

Please review the video below and feel free to contact me with questions. I will assist with any transport / loading and help new owner in anyway with the deal

Carmakers, NHTSA to unveil auto-emergency braking agreement tomorrow

Wed, Mar 16 2016

Happy St. Patrick's Day Eve. Tomorrow, there will be green beer, corned beef and cabbage, and automatic emergency braking for all. Weird combo, we know. But on St. Patty's we can expect an official announcement from a pact of automakers making auto-braking systems standard equipment by 2022. That's per a report from Reuters, which cites three sources familiar with the plans. Originally announced in September 2015 by 10 automakers and the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, the agreement is expected to be even larger when the details are unveiled tomorrow. According to Reuters, the manufacturers of 99 percent of the US domestic market's vehicles will be represented by the new agreement. It's believed that standard AEB systems could prevent thousands of accidents across the country. Expect more on the official announcement when it's made. Related Video:

Car and Driver 10Best list cracked by Tesla Model S, BMW 3 Series left off

Fri, Nov 21 2014

Car and Driver is keeping new blood pumping into its annual 10Best cars list with three new entries making it on for 2015 and a perennial favorite falling off. Among the biggest shocks this year is that the BMW 3 Series and 4 Series are no longer named, despite years of some portion of that lineup earning a mention. In another surprise, the Tesla Model S (specifically in S 60 trim to fit under the $80,000 cost cap) makes it to the 2015 roster and is the only electrically motivated member of the group. Despite the loss of the 3 Series, BMW isn't entirely shut out this year, because the M235i gets its name on the list. Car and Driver argues that the little coupe feels like a welcome throwback to the E46 chassis M3 of the early 2000s. In addition to the Model S, the final newbie to the annual group is the 2015 Ford Mustang GT. The inclusion of these new members knocks the Audi A6/A7 family and Ford Fiesta ST out from the 2014 rundown. The other seven models carry over from last year, including the Cadillac CTS, Chevrolet Corvette Stingray, Honda Accord, Mazda3, Mazda6, Porsche Boxster/Cayman and Volkswagen Golf/GTI. The 2015 10Best cars list certainly seems to have something for everyone from the hot hatch fan to the family man and even the green car driver, thanks to the addition of the Tesla. Head over to Car and Driver to read its detailed explanations for each vehicle's inclusion, but if you've got a difference of opinion or just really like the list, let us know in Comments.
