This truck was purchased new in Coolidge AZ in 1968 and remained there. The rear bumper still has the original Dealership sticker on it. It says Alexander Auto Sales Coolidge AZ. The original owner sold this to his friend right before his death seven years ago.His friend was also an older gentleman and did not drive the truck. His family started it and took it for a few rides just to keep the battery charged and the gas fresh. This truck has 78,649 original miles and has a Box A title. It has the 360 V8 with Automatic transmission. It's a short bed with Custom Cab. It has the dealer installed A/C (no such thing as factory a/c in 68) The A/C fan blows good and hard but the compressor does not engage I'm sure it's low on freon. But the compressor turns by hand and feel good. Would be best to convert to the 134 anyways. If I can get my hands on some R12 I'll charge it and update the listing. The original owners manual is still in the glove box. The jack is still mounted under the hood and the jack handle is still behind the seat. The undercarriage looks the same as when it rolled off of the assembly line in 1968. The floor mat is even original. Yes there are some dings and small dents but for a 46 year old truck I'm positive you will never find another truck this rust free and with such low mileage. The tires are weathered and will need to be replace. Those are the original hubcaps. I'm sure i'm forgetting a lot so feel free to email with any questions or send me your phone number or I will send you mine. Will be posting a link to Youtube so you can hear it running and get a better look. Again I seriously doubt you will ever fine another truck in as original condition as this one.

Ford Shelby GT350R sets 7:32.19 Nurburgring lap time

Mon, Jan 26 2015

It was over a year ago that the Chevy Camaro Z/28 clocked a Nurburgring lap time of 7 minutes and 37.47 seconds, propelling itself up the leader boards as the fastest American muscle car to lap the infamous Nordschleife. But now word has it that another piece of Detroit iron has clocked an even faster time. According to Evo, the new Ford Shelby GT350R Mustang has lapped the Green Hell in a blitzkrieg 7:32.19. That's more than five seconds faster than the Z/28, and propels the GT350R into proper supercar territory: incrementally quicker than the Ferrari 458 Italia and in league with lap times posted by the Nissan GT-R (though not the fastest Godzilla has clocked over the years). With output quoted at "more than 500 horsepower and more than 400 lb-ft of torque," and no 0-60, quarter-mile or top end figures revealed to date, this marks the first genuine measure of performance we've seen for the track-focused pony car - though the numbers have yet to be officially confirmed. The GT350R packs a 5.2-liter V8 unburdened by 130 pounds of excess weight – helped along by carbon-fiber wheels coated in Michelin Pilot Sport Cup 2 rubber. Related Video:

Ford looks to protect logo from Toronto mayor followers

Fri, 15 Nov 2013

One is a member of the Detroit Three and the maker of the Mustang, Fusion, Explorer and F-150. The other is an admitted loudmouthed, drunk-driving, crack-smoking mayor in Canada. Unfortunately for one, it shares its name with the other. Yes, Ford Motor Company is going to great lengths to keep its iconic Blue Oval logo from being appropriated by supporters of besieged Toronto mayor Rob Ford.
At a United Way event earlier this week, some of Mayor Ford's fans showed up with shirts that featured the automaker's logo with the words "Ford Nation," on them. Naturally, Mayor Ford signed them. FoMoCo was quick to issue an unhappy statement:
"Ford did not grant permission for use of its logo. We view it as an unauthorized use of our trademark and have asked it to be stopped," spokesperson Jay Cooney said. There was also a statement from Ford of Canada's Twitter account after a user alerted the company:

Fiat boss Elkann being mentored by... Bill Ford?

Tue, 26 Mar 2013

Fiat Chairman John Elkann has been turning to an unusual source for advice on the car business. While speaking during an interview with The Detroit News, Elkann said he often asks Bill Ford Jr. for advice on how to proceed with the turnaround at Chrysler. "It's great to have the opportunity to share this with someone like Bill, who has experienced many things and gone through many things ... especially linked to Detroit." Elkann said.
As the Agnelli family heir, Elkann has inherited a long and fruitful friendship with the Ford family. While Giovanni Agnelli built his first Fiat four years before Henry Ford created his first vehicle, it was Ford that showed Agnelli the benefits of mass production and helped pave the way for what would become the Fiat empire.
Giovanni's grandson, Gianni, helped mentor Bill Ford when he was elected chairman of Ford Motor Company. Now, Ford is returning the favor by helping Elkann navigate the automotive industry's tumultuous waters.
