Portland, Oregon, United States

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

Wards names its 2015 10 Best Interiors list
Fri, Apr 17 2015Wards Automotive has named the winners of its 10 Best Interior awards, covering a wide but affordable array of vehicles. Where last year's list contained two six-figure vehicles, including the $372,800 Rolls-Royce Wraith, this year's is, well, a whole lot more reasonable. The publication lists the Mercedes-Benz C400 at $65,000 (which seems off), making it the most expensive vehicle here. That said, we'd argue that the entire C-Class line deserves to make this year's list, owing to its varied and high-quality selection of materials. The other vehicle to break the $60,000 mark, meanwhile, is the $60,675 Ford F-150 King Ranch, which has 327,000 pounds of leather lining its interior. Only one other German car, the BMW i3, and one other pickup truck, the GMC Canyon, managed to make this year's list. Here's the full list of this year's winners: 2014 BMW i3 ($52,550) 2015 Chrysler 300C Platinum ($51,175) 2015 Ford F-150 King Ranch ($60,675) 2015 GMC Canyon SLT ($40,465) 2015 Honda Fit EX-L ($21,590) 2015 Jeep Renegade Limited ($33,205) 2015 Kia Sedona SXL ($43,295) 2016 Mazda6 Grand Touring ($33,395) 2015 Mercedes C400 ($65,000) 2015 Nissan Murano SL ($41,905) See what we mean about the mainstream vehicles? Not only is there a distinct lack of luxury brands, it's the price of some of the vehicles that surprise. The Honda Fit, Jeep Renegade and Mazda6 are very reasonably priced, especially when you compare Wards price with the starting price. The Renegade Limited starts at less than $25,000, the Mazda at less than $22K and the Fit at under $16,000. Head over to Wards for a more detailed explanation of why each vehicle won.

Petersen Museum celebrates 50 years of Ford Mustang with special exhibit
Mon, May 5 2014If you're a pony-car enthusiast, this is your year. Not only has Ford introduced an all-new Mustang, but it's also the 50th anniversary of the original. Celebrations and commemorations have been scheduled throughout the year, and not the least of them is the latest exhibit at the Petersen Automotive Museum in Los Angeles. Called "Mustangs Forever: 50 Years of a Legend", the exhibit includes Mustangs from every generation of the iconic pony car, including the 1965 convertible Ronald Reagan drove during his California gubernatorial campaign, a 1971 Mach 1 Cobra Jet, a 1974 Mustang II, 1993 SVT Cobra, 2000 Cobra R and a 2006 Shelby GT-H. Special sections focus on motorsports, aftermarket modifiers and limited-edition models. The display opened on Sunday with the Mustang Madness spectacular and will run for the next six months, but if you're not heading to Southern California within the coming half-year then you can scope out all the action in our live gallery of photos above.
Jay Leno sees how the other half lives with CHP cop cars new and old
Mon, 01 Jul 2013Comedian Jay Leno is changing gears from driving fast cars to checking out some of the police cruisers that regularly chase down and dish out punishment to those fast cars. In this episode of Jay Leno's Garage, we get the lowdown on the modifications made to the Ford Explorer for the Interceptor package (which looks pretty tough in its California Highway Patrol livery).
The new Ford is cool, but cooler still are the pack of classic CHP cars that Jay has along for the episode. A 1982 Mustang, 1966 Dodge Polara, 1970 Mercury Monterey and 2000 Crown Victoria are all in the shop. Better still, Jay lays out an argument for ones of the classic cruisers as the best cop car of all time. Get your guesses in now, and then scroll down to watch and learn.
