1963 E100 Econoline Pickup:

  • Very solid, great running truck
  • Currently licensed and insured and is driven to cruise nights and car shows on a daily basis
  • It is painted in an amateur old school enamel satin white, complete with very tasteful TURQUOISE pinstriping and wide white portawalls with freshly sandblasted and painted TURQUOISE wheels with chrome lug nuts.
  • The original drivetrain was recently replaced with a 200 c.i. mustang six with a synchronized 3 on the tree.
  • The speedometer and odometer are slightly out of calibration because of the trans swap but it is reading 46,945 which is the original mileage.
  • The truck is running off a 12 gallon stainless fuel cell so there is no working gas gauge.
  • All turn signals, headlights, tail lights, brake lights, and parking lights work as they should.
  • The temp gauge functions and the ampmeter and oil pressure gauge are working idiot lights.
  • The truck runs and drives incredibly well and gets somewhere upwards of 20 mpg.
  • There is very little bondo in the  truck and this is mostly over some homemade sheet metal patches done many years ago.
  • I am no body man so it will still need some sanding and filling to make these areas better.
  • The wipers work and the heater fan blows and there is a heater core in it but there are no hoses hooked up to it.
  • The horn is currently not working nor are the dash lights.
  • The truck also features the original manual choke which works as it should.
  • The original gas tank is still in place but the condition is unknown.
  • Also the undercarriage has been all blasted and been painted rustoleum satin black.
  • There is one small hole in the passenger side floor and is an easy fix.
  • Also available are a shortened drive shaft & cross member with motor mounts for a V-8 conversion and a set of 14 in. Craiger SS with unilug pattern w/ tires.
  • I also have brand new, in the box, rubber vent window seals which I have not installed.
  • PLEASE CALL BEFORE BIDDING.  I CAN TALK FOR HOURS ABOUT THIS TRUCK.
  • PLEASE NOTE:  The pinstriping and wheels appear to be blue but are TURQUOISE.
  • Call Jim 773-615-4790  (Oak Forest, Illinois)

Ladies Love It: Ford Fiesta wins Womens World Car of the Year

Thu, 25 Jul 2013

It's official: A panel of female automotive writers has chosen the Ford Fiesta 1.0-liter EcoBoost as the Womens World Car of the Year, and it beat tough competition like the Mazda CX-5, Range Rover and Porsche Boxster S for the overall top spot.
The CX-5 and Range Rover won the SUV and Luxury Car categories, respectively, and the Boxster S laid claim to the Sports Car category, beating the runner up Audi RS5 and third place Toyota GT86/Subaru BRZ (or Scion FR-S). The Audi Allroad was named the Family car of the year.
The panel consisted of 18 female automotive writers from around the world tasked with picking the best car in each of eight categories, including top vehicle overall, using criteria that women utilize when shopping for a car. That includes safety, value-for-money, aesthetic appearance, storage space, child-friendliness, ease-of-driving, color, sex appeal and environmental footprint.

Report: GM struggling to market turbo technology

Tue, 20 Apr 2010

In the automotive realm, marketing can sometimes prove just as important as the actual product. Take, for instance, Ford's well regarded EcoBoost technology, which couples turbocharging with direct injection to produce more horsepower and reduce fuel consumption. Would it surprise you to hear that General Motors has had similar technology on the market for over three years?
It's true. GM's first turbocharged, direct injected powerplants hit the market for the 2007 model. The 2.0-liter Ecotec mills put down an impressive 260 horsepower and a matching 260 pound-feet of torque, and they were lauded by the press in the engine bays of the Pontiac Solstice, Saturn Sky, Chevrolet Cobalt SS and Chevrolet HHR SS. But few people outside a core group of enthusiasts actually remember this fact.
Says Uwe Grebe, executive director of GM's global advanced engineering, "We didn't have a badge and say, 'This is the most important thing we will put on all our brochures.'" Ford, however, did just that, and it's EcoBoost engines are right at the tips of all our tongues when we discuss today's most advanced powerplants. So, how does The General fix its mistake?
