Hello and thank you for looking at my auction! I have a 2 documented owner 1962 F-100 Unibody long bed pickup truck. The first owner bought it new and kept it up until first of this year when we bought it and are now the second owners. The truck is in very good shape for a 52 year old vehicle. It has a small amount of work that has been done to it in the past but nothing major. It is solid and runs and drives and stops very good and has been on back roads, city streets and highways since we owned it with no issues at all. It is mostly primered but can be brought back to the patina look with some sanding and elbow grease or some finishing and painted to look very nice. The truck has some body blemishes but no real rot. The worst visible spots are in the bed. The tailgate opens and shuts exactly the way is should. For you truck and rat rod guys, you know that is hard to come by.

The truck has a 70's model 302 V8 with a heavy duty 4 speed transmission with the granny first gear along with a lower rear end gear. The rear end is a Ford 9 inch which is geared for pulling. Per the original owner, it was installed to pull his trailer. The following pieces were installed over the last couple months.

Points and condenser
Distributor
Coil
Plugs and wires
Oil and filter change
Gear and diff fluids changed
New door window seals and tracks
New felts and door seals - doors shut very clean and tight
New recovered bench seat with center fold down armrest
New CD player and speakers

The truck cranks up almost instantly and has not given any issues since the new points and condenser were installed. When first cranked, it has a very small amount of smoke but clears up once you go. The motor does not make any ticks, rattles or has no real leaks and the exhaust is nearly new and sounds very good and without being to loud.

Here is what else you will get with the truck if the offer is agreed upon.

Re-manufactured 70's model 302 heads - 1 set
4 speed truck transmission without granny gear
Lighter gear set to give better highway manners
Extra headlight buckets
Extra Wheel covers
Original door panels uncut
Few other odds and ends

You can buy this truck and put a little more money and time into it and have a very nice cruiser or rat rod or buy it and drive it like it is.

Thanks again for looking and please email, text or call with any other questions!

Ford's J Mays feels vindicated by Fusion reception

Tue, 25 Sep 2012

It's hard to think back now, but the same man overseeing the design of the 2013 Ford Fusion also presided over a rather lackluster period in Ford design, highlighted by vehicles like the Five Hundred and Freestyle. With the redesigned Fusion receiving high praise, J Mays tells Automotive News that he feels vindicated from criticisms suggesting he's not a daring enough designer.
When Mays took over as lead of design in 1997, he admits to having quite an ego ("My head would barely fit through the door some days. I've long since gotten over myself") and the workload to match. With the Blue Oval's portfolio full of premium brands like Aston Martin, Jaguar, Land Rover and Volvo at that point, along with the bread-and-butter Ford, Lincoln and Mercury models, Mays certainly had quite the challenge.
It was in the mid-2000s that Mays took over just the premium brands, and took on the new title of Chief Creative Officer. At the time, Mays endured some criticism for looking backwards to retro styling, rather than setting a new standard for American car design - criticism that Mays says he is free from with the all-new Fusion.

Motor Trend pits Subaru WRX vs. Ford Focus ST

Thu, 23 Jan 2014

The Ford Focus ST has enjoyed a relatively calm, if brief, reign in the world of hot hatches. With nothing else in the class (in the States, at least) but the aging Mazdaspeed3 and Subaru Impreza WRX and the slow-selling Volkswagen Golf R, the Blue Oval's 252-horsepower five door has been the go-to vehicle for those that don't need the high-octane lunacy (and expense) of the rally bred Subaru Impreza WRX STI and Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution X.
Now, though, as the new Subaru WRX (it's not an Impreza anymore, though, neither is it a hatchback...) starts to arrive at dealers, the Focus ST appears to be under threat for the first time. Naturally, Motor Trend is here to figure out which one is the best, with another one of its Head 2 Head videos. Host Jonny Lieberman puts both cars through their paces, going above and beyond, quite literally, at the very end of the video.

Car and Driver shows off awesome 1960s ads

Fri, Sep 11 2015

Someone must have recently rediscovered the keys to the archives at Car and Driver, and the access has been put to good use. Following last month's fantastic look at automotive ads from the '50s, there's now a new gallery running from March 1960 through December 1969. This collection provides a great overview of a decade full of iconic cars. If you're a fan of Carroll Shelby, particularly his Mustangs, then there's a lot to love among this group. One ad from July 1965 aimed to sell the GT350, but with an ocean of text and a tiny picture, it probably could've used a once-over by Don Draper's team. By December '65, the copywriters ironed out the problems with a spot proclaiming boldly "Shelby GT350 is 'Son of Cobra.'" The company offered some great accessories, too. For those into European motoring, there's a humorous attempt to sell the Alfa Romeo Giulia as both a racecar and family hauler. Toyota also boasts about the winning record for the 2000GT. Among the best text comes from BMW for lines like: "What's BMW got? The most advanced high-performance engine in any production car, for a cruising speed of 100 mph." Of course, Volkswagen's famous "Lemon" ad for the Beetle also gets its due here. Separately, each of these ads is fascinating, but taken together they tell the story of a great decade of motoring. Go give them all a read at Car and Driver.
