This 1953 Ford f-100 Anniversary Edition that was parked on the southern side of a barn in the early 70's has been redone to roughly 95% of its original condition with original parts, no aftermarket. The truck has new chrome all around except for the original chrome hood emblem that I felt did not require replacement. New tires, shocks, brakes with rebuilt cylinders. New rubber seals for the windows, doors, hood, and bed. Two years ago the truck was completely sanded to bare metal and was repainted with 4th generation products. Bed has new stainless strips and clear pine planks in good condition, but pine could be resealed (part of the 5% to completely finish truck). Running boards and bed have been redone with brown tintable raptor liner. Interior has new floor mat, vinyl seat, and door panels. Engine is original 223 straight six, fords first overhead valve motor, and has been gone through by a certified mechanic that replaced rings and installed a new gasket kit. Engine runs very well. Electrical has all been upgraded to 12 volt(only change from original condition, 6 volt) in order to be drivable/reliable. 


The 5% that I consider needs to be finished on this truck would be the broken speedometer indicator, replacement of the front bumper and oil bath air cleaner that are missing, doors locks that no longer work, and the inside bottom of the passenger door that had the only rust damage in the whole vehicle was fixed with Duraglass. Some parts for the door locks have been replaced but did not fix the problem, and I just decided I did not need it fixed considering the other 8 project cars I currently have going. This truck is so reliable it could easily be a daily driver that is no only fun to drive, it is also an attention grabber.

First Ford Mustang prototype shots caught by legendary spy shooter Jim Dunne

Fri, 12 Apr 2013

You know how people refer to someone as having "been around the block" to mean they're very experienced? Well, when it comes to automotive spy photography, Jim Dunne actually laid down the concrete slabs of the block's sidewalk. The unforgettable Dunne more or less invented the car spy game - a fact he cemented by writing book called Car Spy - and has been delivering spy shots and reporting on the industry for some 45 years now. (He also once employed this writer as his impromptu personal chauffer on a Volkswagen trip in Germany, while he slept, but that's a story for a different time.)
In any event, Dunne must be on a mission to prove that "elder statesman" doesn't also mean "washed up" as it is his shots of the upcoming new 2014 Ford Mustang that we've been handed by our friends at KGP Photography.
Mr. Dunne has likely spent the last few years obtaining powerful telescopic lenses, as the Ford in question has clearly been photographed from some distance. Nevertheless, what you see here is visual evidence that the sixth-generation Mustang has moved beyond the mule stage, and is now testing in proper prototype form. Sources indicate that there are production-spec body panels under that baggy canvass dress; but the slightly less bulky silhouette of the new car can be just made out. While the car's bumpers have been removed to obfuscate things, we can tell by way of the camo's apertures that the car's taillights have moved upwards and towards the lip of the tail. A fender vent appears to be visible, too, just behind the front wheel.

EU formally questions French government assistance of Peugeot's finance arm

Fri, 28 Dec 2012

Recently, the finance arm of PSA/Peugeot-Citroën was in such debt trouble that it was pricing itself out of the car loan market. The rates it was paying to service its debt, which was rated one step above junk, were so high that it was forced to charge car-buying customers higher rates than they could find elsewhere. This was adding to Peugeot's already impressive woes by sending revenue out the door to competitors.
Two months ago a deal was worked out with the French government whereby the state would provide 7 billion euro ($9 billion USD) in bonds to guarantee the finance arm's loans. The French government could nominate someone to join the Peugeot board, Peugeot would guarantee more French jobs, and on top of that deal, other banks would provide non-guaranteed loans. The government would take no equity stake in the car company.
Although not yet finalized, the arrangement is meant to create some breathing room for Peugeot Finance to lower its interest rates for customers, and a government-nominated board member, Louis Gallois, was recently named to Peugeot's supervisory board. The arrangement was also openly questioned by at least three competitors: Ford, Renault - which is 15-percent owned by the French government after it received state aid - and the German state of Lower Saxony, itself a 15-percent shareholder in Volkswagen.

Wrap up some fun with Ford's commercial vehicle configurator

Tue, 27 Aug 2013

Ford has combined multiple steps into one with its commercial vehicle configurator, which allows users to choose, design and place orders for the Transit, Transit Connect, E-Series vans and F-Series Super Duty trucks.
The most interesting part of the new configurator is a fairly robust design tool. Users are able to choose paint color and wrap the vehicle, and then create their own graphics. No materials are needed - Ford provides numerous background textures, text boxes, plenty of shapes and 20 categories of images including floral, construction, plumbing and skylines. Self-created designs or images can be uploaded to the system as well.
We played around with the design tool a bit and uploaded our own image to create the Autoblog Podcast Live van you see here. Feel free to check out the configurator and make your own design.
