We have owned this pickup since 1985. Found it "forgotten" in a farmer's yard. We have done a total restoration, and then modernized it to make it safe at today's highway speeds.Started restoration by re and re'ing cab corner posts, and removing all damage and bondo and replacing with steel. Powered by a 1964 Thunderbird 390 cid, that has been totally rebuilt. Paired to a rebuilt C6 Tranny, with a B & M slap-stick shifter built in to a custom console, which is between bucket seats. The drive train is balanced, with new u-joints, and attached to a 9" Ford Rear end. Custom anti sway bars front and rear, and new power disc brakes on front (Corvette), with stock drums on rear. Dual exhaust with two flowmaster mufflers, with chrome tips. Flip down rear licence plate (with lites). Bed is custom made of spruce with marine varnish with stainless strips between planks. Rear of deck features stainless plate that house two LED turn/signal lites. Anyone who flashes their highbeams at me, get it right back in their own face from the pooilished stainless plate. Cab interior has black carpets. Bucket seats that are cloth...grey with teal insert to match exterior color scheme. Dash and interior painted same teal color as exterior, but roof, door panels and rear wall are covered in grey upholstrey material. Fuel tank that was originally inside the cab, behind the bench seat is "history."..made extra storage space for small suitcase for road trips. Replaced that stock interior tank with a new 25 gallon tank, placed between frame rails at rear of vehicle, with a hidden fuel filler cap. Shaved door handles. Shaved fuel filler cap. Keyless entry. Hidden mechanical passenger door release. Alarmed. Extra red warning lite on dash to signal alarm working. Air Horn which has own electric air compressor and tank under driver's side, also has regular electric horn.Flaming River Steering wheel. All new Dolphin Guages including tach. Milage starts at zero with total rebuild. This is a NEW 1960 Pickup, thus low, low mileage.  Exterior Sun Visor. Halogen headlites. Parking lites are wired to stay on when headlites are "on."  Mag wheels with radial tires.(80% tread remaining) Am/FM/CD Alpine system with frenched in power antenna. There is NO RUST or any damage or electrical issues. This pickup can be driven immediately, anywhere at highway speeds, and then some. We are selling it, and all of our other collector vehicles, as we are downsizing to a smaller home, with no garage/storage area. This is NOT a desperation sale. Have investered over 100-thousand dollars to make this a one-of-a kind-eye-candy vehicle, that will be worth more with each pasing year. There is nothing else needed to be done, except drive and enjoy.  Priced to sell at $42,500 firm.

Ford reports 58% drop in Q2 profits on European losses

Wed, 25 Jul 2012



Ford Motor Company announced Wednesday that it has posted a $1 billion profit for the second quarter of 2012. That sounds like good news for the Blue Oval, until you take into account that Ford posted a $2.4 billion profit for Q2 a year ago. That is a substantial 58 percent loss.
Ford also posted $465 million in international losses, with $404 million of those losses coming directly from Europe. The automaker also increased its European loss projections to $1 billion for 2012, due in large part to the economic crisis overseas, which has resulted in increased unemployment and decreased consumer confidence.

Ford reserving 50th Anniversary Mustangs for service members

Tue, Dec 16 2014

Think getting your hands on one of the 1,964 50th Anniversary Ford Mustangs is hard as a civilian? Imagine how tough it might be for the Mustang fanatics in our nation's military. Perhaps recognizing this fact, Ford Emerging Market Services and the Overseas Military Sales Corporation (the only Ford-authorized retailer on the military's bases) ran a raffle, with the winners receiving the opportunity to purchase one of the limited-edition muscle cars. Ford EMS and OMS received 300 entries to the raffle, although with only eight 50th Anniversary Stangs to hand out, we imagine there were quite a lot of disappointed soldiers, sailors, airmen and marines. "We are pleased to offer limited-edition anniversary Mustangs to members of our military through our Military Appreciation Program, and we are delighted at the response it's receiving," Doug Walczak, EMS' fleet sales manager, said. The first Mustang was delivered to Army Maj. Del Boyer, shown above. While Maj. Boyer took delivery in New York, the raffle was open to servicemembers both at home and abroad.

Ford only automaker to make 2012 Buzz Rankings, Toyota most improved

Wed, 30 Jan 2013

Ford landed itself a spot among the top 10 brands in the 2012 Buzz Rankings. The annual index scores 1,100 brands in 41 categories to determine which nameplates had the most positive buzz throughout the year.
For the third year in a row, Subway took the top honors overall with a score of 40.3, and Ford was the only automaker to break into the top 25 by earning a sixth-place finish overall. The manufacturer earned a score of 32.1 points, which was enough to push it up one spot from the 2011 Buzz Rankings. Honda managed 21.2 points overall, which is still well behind 25th-place Kohl's at 26.5 points. Toyota, Volkswagen and BMW all round out the top five automakers.
The 2012 Buzz Rankings also keep track of which brands improved the most over the past year, and this year, Toyota was the manufacturer with the largest leap forward. The Japanese automaker jumped from just 14 points in 2011 to 20.5 in 2012. Chrysler, Kia, Dodge and Volkswagen all saw sizable steps forward as well.
