Beautiful Classic Truck, Great Driver, Patina Rustic Paint Work * 8' Bed * Clean on 2040-cars
Raleigh, North Carolina, United States
Up for purchase is a very unique Ford pickup truck. I have owned this truck for years, however I don't frequently drive it. Great looking stance (lowered - budget spring cut), great mechanical condition and reliable with every start attempt. Starts and drives every time, shifts very well, brakes are functional, windows roll up and down, radio is missing but the wiring is there. The engine was rebuilt about 6-7k miles ago, transmission has less than 500 miles since rebuild (oil pump and torque converter). Holly carb, e-cam, shorty headers, flowmaster exhaust - all else is stock. Cosmetically the truck had surface rust from the paint and clear coat fading over the years, however we did apply a topical rust treatment and then proceeded to freehand a variety of copper, blue, gold, brown and pearl shades to the paint. We then clearcoated the truck with a satin finish clearcoat (plastidip). It can easily all be removed if someone were to opt for a full or partial restoration. Interior is stock and nearly mint - including a brand new dash pad and new upgraded bench seat. The bed floorboard had rust from having trash and debris stored in it for years (held moisture) however the bed is functional again because of the new wood floor bed insert that was fabricated for it. The truck I believe was equipped with factory air since new, but I don't believe it's functional anymore. Heat works. Tires are in good shape and are fairly new. The ride is very stiff and bouncy due to the lowering procedures - however there's a great deal of aftermarket support for these platforms and a smooth suspension can be installed very inexpensively per the new owner's preference. I built this truck as a display piece and occasional cruiser around town. It's been parked in front of my shop for awhile now and I am ready to let it go to a new home. If you have trade offers or would like to inquire about additional work you'd like done to this truck, I can quote that and make arrangements for completion. It's a mechanically reliable, head-turning long bed truck - use it for whatever you'd creatively think of. I own a specialty fabrication shop in Raleigh NC and i'd love to answer any questions you may have about the truck. Please call or text before bidding if you are unsure about your decision - I will report any unpaid activity. My number is 9one92642OO7 Feel free to make trade offers. Happy bidding. |

AMC Trans Am Javelin SST, an ultra-rare underdog, is up for auction
Sat, Sep 9 2023Among the rarest of the American muscle cars that went racing in the early Seventies — cars including the Camaro Z/28 and the Boss 302 Mustang — the 1970 AMC Trans Am Javelin SST may be the most hard to find, and among the most valuable. Only 100 units of this unique Javelin were produced, and one of them is up for auction at the Mecum event in Dallas on September 20. The Trans Am Javelin was fashioned in a patriotic livery of tricolor paint — red, white and blue — and arrived after the American Motors Corporation had decided in 1968 to compete in the Trans Am racing series against Ford and General Motors. The company's chief driver, Mark Donohue, would dominate the 1971 season, taking seven wins in his Javelin AMX and that yearÂ’s SCCA Trans-Am Championship. AMC took the trophy with 82 points, well ahead of Ford's 61, Chevrolet's 17 and Pontiac's paltry 7. The example listed for auction came equipped with a 390-cubic-inch V-8 engine with 325 horsepower at 5,000 rpm and 420 pound-feet of torque, power steering and brakes, dual exhaust, BorgWarner four-speed manual transmission and Hurst competition shifter. Its “ram induction system” sealed a chamber around the air filter so that cool air from the functional hood scoop would be funneled into the intake. This JavÂ’s factory price was $3,995 — a mere $32,000 or so in today's money, though it was expensive by the standards of the time. The 100 Trans Ams were among 19,714 Javelin units built in 1970, so they started out rare, and today the surviving examples are highly collectible, if and when they come up for sale.

Court puts kibosh on apartheid lawsuit against Ford, Daimler
Thu, 22 Aug 2013Ford and Daimler have scored a major victory in a long-running lawsuit filed in US federal court by unnamed South African nationals. The suit alleges that both manufacturers and their subsidiaries sold their vehicles to the South African military, despite knowing that they'd be involved in violently putting down anti-apartheid protesters.
According to Reuters, South African plaintiffs filed the case under the 223-year-old Alien Torts Statute, a law which allows foreign nationals to file charges in US courts for perceived breaches of what was originally international law, but now more closely relates to violations of human rights.
And while the case - which also involves computer manufacturer IBM - has been tied up in federal courts for years, a recent case from the Supreme Court struck down a similar suit against Royal Dutch Petroleum (Shell), arguing that the ATS doesn't apply to corporations or to conduct if it occurred outside the US. In short, the law applies to individuals, but not corporations like Ford or Daimler. A US appeals court ruled that the conditions apply in this case, potentially drawing this long-running saga to a close, as the defendants will now be allowed to request that the case be dismissed in district court.
Fiat boss Elkann being mentored by... Bill Ford?
Tue, 26 Mar 2013Fiat 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.
