For sale here we have a fine example of what Detroit was once capable of... This 1973 F-100 is good looking, very useful, fun to drive, and gets a conversation started everywhere it goes. I have driven this truck from Columbus, OH to El Paso, TX and back hauling two motorcycles in the back and it never missed a beat. The engine and transmission have been professionally rebuilt; I can provide receipts for the work that was done on it. Also installed at that time were stainless headers, high-performance starter, HVHP oil pump, new power steering pump, and a Holley 2-barrel carburetor. The interior was redone as well and is in very nice condition. In addition, this truck has a "Hidden Hitch" brand frame-mounted Reese hitch, variable-rate adjustable electric trailer brake system, and 7-pin trailer connection. With this setup and the automatic transmission it makes an excellent, comfortable tow vehicle.

To be fair and honest, this is not a show truck. There is some rust on the bed sides, and a little on the door frames. It is mostly surface rust, not vast expanses of cancerous rot. This truck spent most of its life in North Dakota, not on Ohio's salty roads. It will be a good truck for many years just the way it is, or it would make a good candidate for restoration if you wanted to make the body perfect. The drive train needs nothing. The radio stopped working, so I took it out. The aluminum trim needs to be glued back on to the sliding rear window, but nothing is missing. Also the vinyl armrest/door handle needs to be screwed on to the driver's door; I just haven't taken the inner door skin off to do so. Again, all the necessary parts are present. I even have the original owner's manual and warranty ID card.

I can deliver this truck anywhere in Ohio for $0.50 per mile. I may be able to deliver elsewhere, but please ask before assuming I will do so. I would prefer for the buyer to pick it up in Columbus, OH, or make arrangements to have it picked up. I can store the truck for up to 2 weeks after the auction provided that payment is made.

A $200 deposit is required via PayPal within 24 hours of the auction ending. The balance is to be paid in cash or check prior to taking possession of the truck. Any check must clear my bank before it goes; that is why cash is the most desirable way to complete the transaction. I would be willing to discuss trades if you have a pre-1970 Harley-Davidson (not a Sportster.) Otherwise, cash is king. Bid like you mean it; only the last one counts!

Please ask any questions prior to bidding and I will do my best to answer them in a timely manner. Good luck and Happy Bidding!

I forgot to mention... the truck has brand new full dual exhaust with Flowmaster mufflers. Sounds good, runs even better!

Ford readying three-row Edge for China

Fri, Nov 21 2014

The next-generation Ford Edge will be available with quite a growth spurt for its debut in China next year, with newly announced plans also to build and sell a three-row version exclusively in the People's Republic. However, markets outside of there likely won't see the larger model. Ford marketing boss (and future head of Ford of Europe) Jim Farley announced the three-row version of the crossover at the Los Angeles Auto Show, according to Automotive News. To create the extra room, Ford made the Chinese-built variant about 16 inches longer than its two-row counterpart. Farley didn't specify at which of the Blue Oval's plants in the country this model would be assembled. The Explorer and forthcoming Everest already offer three rows from the Ford lineup in China, but the company thinks the market can easily support all of them. According to Farley to Automotive News, the utility segment is up 485 percent in the country since 2008. Customers in the US can still look forward to the two-row Edge hitting dealers early next year. It'll be the first model in the Blue Oval's lineup here to come standard with EcoBoost power.

Mustang pinball game will feature art by Ford GT designer

Fri, 13 Dec 2013

To celebrate 50 years of Mustang, Ford and Stern Pinball are collaborating on a new pinball machine that will feature the muscle car in all its glory, Polygon reports. Even better, Camilo Pardo, the guy who designed the Ford GT, will provide art for the table; Tanner Foust, Top Gear USA host and professional driver, will handle narrating duties; and a Sony Music soundtrack spanning five decades will provide the tunes.
"The Mustang is one of the most iconic, American cars ever made... What better way to celebrate 50 years of Mustang than with the launch of the Ford Mustang pinball game?" says Stern Pinball CEO Gary Stern.
Watch the promotional trailer for the upcoming Mustang pinball machine below, which will have to hold you over until pricing and availability are announced in early 2014.

Weekly Recap: Volkswagen moves forward under Muller

Sat, Sep 26 2015

Most stunning was the speed of it all. On the morning of September 18, Volkswagen AG stood atop the automotive world. It was profitable and sold more cars than Toyota and General Motors, its two main rivals for global supremacy. By nightfall, the company would be embroiled in scandal. Revelations the German auto giant cheated on diesel emissions testing in the United States reverberated from Washington to Wolfsburg, Germany. What started out as a problem with 482,000 VWs and Audis in the US exploded into an international scandal. Millions of vehicles have the rigged software, meaning VW broke environmental rules as its cars spewed pollutants all over the world. The fallout began immediately. Volkswagen CEO Martin Winterkorn – one of the most respected and capable executives in the business Â– apologized on Sunday and Tuesday. On Wednesday he resigned. As the week progressed, the company's stock took a beating and credit agencies threatened to drop their ratings. VW dealers and owners said they felt betrayed. The automaker hired a law firm that defended BP after the Deepwater Horizon oil spill. The EPA is already extending its testing procedures to look for "defeat devices" like the ones used by Volkswagen. On Friday the company announced a major restructuring. Matthias Muller, Porsche's chief for the last five years, took over as CEO of Volkswagen and is charged with picking up the pieces of a shattered company facing regulatory action and lawsuits. With GM, Toyota, and Takata scandals still fresh, Volkswagen will likely experience unprecedented levels of scrutiny. Additionally, VW's markets in the United States, Canada, and Mexico will be combined into a North American region under the leadership of former Skoda boss Winfried Vahland, though US chief executive Michael Horn will stay on. The company is also realigning its brands by specialty and streamlining its board. Firings, government action, restructurings, and international outrage Â– things that usually build up over months or years Â– all occurred in about a week. With dizzying speed, Volkswagen's future has changed dramatically. It all happened, it's still happening, so fast.

Enter the 2016 Buick Cascada. It has top-shelf Opel engineering, slinky design, and it's reasonably priced.
