WOW !! The LowLiner is up for sale ! After 6 years of fabrication I am offering my 1963 Econoline pickup for sale on Ebay. It is fully restored. The truck is Painted in basecoat/clearcoat ,tropical turqoise blue. It has had many mild custom tricks performed on it . The number one thing is the INTERNET LEGEND " Tumble Down Tailgate" with Ranger latch. It took 37 hours to fabricate this notorious Gate. The truck also has a 2 1/2 inch lower front pan with beedrolled accent line, 4 inch side skirting welded into the stock lower side rail so it appears stock Plus a 1 1/2"rear apron extension. On the box rail the stake pockets have been removed and inner box sides have been scheared,beedrolled and installed, also new steel tubs have been installed with a new floor. The whole thing was then covered in charcoal marine carpet trimmed in dark grey. The floor carpet and pad is removable if you should want to haul something in the box. Inside the cab the interior walls and roof were covered in beedrolled steel panels and the painted basecoat/clearcoat along with the doors and dash. heavy metalflake scallops and white stripping were then overlayed onto the dash and insturment panel. The steering wheel was nicely restored, the seats reupholstered, plus full carpet and pad were layed down. The doors and windows have all new seals,wiskers and anti rattle kits. To top the interior off, I have fabricated a shifting pod for the mustang C4 shifter and cable. For those of you who don't know these econoline pickups, They were BARE BONES units. They were all small 6 cyl engined trucks with 3 speed manual transmissions. They had little or no interior panels or carpet. This truck didn't even have a glove box door or a passenger side sunvisor. There were no inner box sides or rear bumpers. You got very little for very little money,that was the idea. The new powertrain is strong,fresh, and modern. It features a high performance 302 V8 Ford with new Demon carb,Edelbrock intake, and a Crane cam, all the hp parts were selected to give good reliable (Street ) performance . It is a strong reliable and trouble free ride ! I can drive it anywhere and I actually have a few thousand miles on the truck. The rest of the drive train includes a flipped and dropped front axle, a flipped and narrowed 9 "inch ford rearend and C'd rear frame rails. the safety issues have been addressed with a complete brake job, new shocks, new driveshaft Plus the new special edition American racing wheels 16"front and 17" rear Torque thrust wheels, shod in high end BF GoodRich tires. This is indeed a one of a kind truck. It has never been wrecked, has no rust history and was garaged the majority of it's life. I am the third owner of the truck. All the work is done in (STEEL) , there is no plastic,or fiberglass involved in the modification. The complete artistic rendering was done to produce a Long, Low and smooth flowing design that looks like it's factory made. I think I have reached my goal, and now it's for sale to you. Buy it now for $27,500 Thanks everyone for the interest, and good luck to all bidders. Brian

Ford opens 88 new dealerships in China in a single day
Mon, 23 Jun 2014"Ford opened 88 dealerships in China last year." "Ford opened 88 dealerships in China during the first half of 2014." "Ford opened 88 dealerships in China last month." None of those statements - even the last one - would seem unbelievable. Saying "Ford opened up 88 dealerships in China last Thursday," though, is a bit more dramatic.
Yes, on June 19 alone, Ford opened the doors on nearly 100 showrooms in the People's Republic, boosting the Blue Oval's total presence in the country to 750 dealerships. Of course, while an overabundance of dealers in the US proved troublesome for American manufacturers back in 2008 and 2009, there's no such concern in China. Considering the country's huge population and the breakneck pace of the local auto industry, you could be forgiven for being surprised Ford only has 750 outlets at this stage.
What's notable about this most recent push, besides the sheer volume of new stores, is their location. Over three-quarters of the new dealerships are in so-called Tier 4 cities, which are smaller towns that still contain millions of people. This fits with Ford's strategy in China of avoiding the bigger battlegrounds that are already dominated by competitors and focusing on setting up shop in newer markets that may have been overlooked, according to Automotive News.
Watch this awesome R/C car chase scene made with cardboard and glue
Fri, 22 Feb 2013It never ceases to amaze us how much video production talent you can find on YouTube, especially when considering movies like Battleship actually exist on the silver screen. It's even better, of course, when cars are involved, which is why we can't stop watching this car chase between a pair of radio controlled Ford Mustangs.
Racing through a detailed set built in the middle of a public street using just "cardboard, hot glue and spray paint," this video is possibly even greater than The Greatest R/C Car Chase Ever that we saw last year. With the exception of a fruit stand and/or a plate-glass window being carried across the street, this has all the makings of a classic cliché chase scene.
Scroll down to watch the scaled-down action ensue as well as the full-scale conclusion.
Honda poised for growth, Detroit to hold steady, Car Wars study says
Fri, Jun 5 2015The automotive industry is expected to keep booming in the US over the next several years, but the train might start running out of steam in the long term, according to 2015's Car Wars report from Bank of America Merrill Lynch analyst John Murphy. The forecast focuses on changes between the 2016 and 2019 model years, and the latest trends appear similar in some cases to the past predictions. Sales are expected to keep growing and reach a peak of 20 million in 2018, according to the Detroit Free Press. The expansion is projected to come from a quick pace of vehicle launches, with an average of 48 introductions a year – 26 percent more than in 1996. Crossovers are expected to make up a third of these, maintaining their strong popularity. However, Murphy predicts a decline, as well. By 2025, total sales could fall to around 15 million units. As of May 2015, the seasonally adjusted annual rate for this year stands at 17.71 million. Like last year, Honda is predicted to be a big winner in the future thanks to products like the next-gen Civic. "Honda should be the biggest market share gainer," Murphy said when presenting the report, according to Free Press. Meanwhile, in a situation similar to Car Wars from 2012, a lack of many new vehicles is expected to cause a drop for Hyundai, Kia, and Nissan. Based on this forecast, Ford, General Motors, and FCA US will all generally maintain market share for the coming years. The report does make some future product predictions, though. The next Chevrolet Silverado and GMC Sierra might come in 2019, which is earlier than expected. Also, Lincoln could get a Mustang-based coupe for 2017, a compact sedan for 2018 and an Explorer-based model in 2019, according to the Free Press.
