This is a very nice classic 1973 Ford F100 pickup. The truck has had one repaint about nine years ago in the original colors(sequioa brown and wimbleton white). It was originally from Arizona and never had any rust, so the body isn't all patched up with bondo. The paint and body on this truck are nearly perfect: no rust, dents, dings, scratches, paint chips, etc-even the bed floor is scratchless! The chrome trim is original for the truck, and is in excellent condition as well. The interior is in great shape. The dash is perfect-no cracks in the dashpad, etc. The seat has been reupholstered at some point-unfortunately the previous owner was a smoker so there are a couple of small cigarette burns on the seat. I don't smoke so it hasn't been smoked in since I've owned it. The headliner and door panels are in great shape. I replaced the carpeting after the truck was repainted,so it has new carpeting. It has AC which does work, but it needs to be recharged because it doesn't blow cold. It has an aftermarket cassette deck(knob-style, so the dash isn't all cut up) which plays fine. This truck is in very good condition mechanically. The previous owner had the engine and transmission rebuilt. It is a 390 V8 with automatic trans. The previous owner also had the brakes re-done. Since I've owned the truck I've replaced the power steering pump and lines, alternator, starter, battery, exhaust, and tires. The engine compartment has been cleaned up and detailed for car shows. The previous owner had the undercarriage undercoated, and I painted over that with por-15 rust resistant type paint, so the underside of the truck is in nice condition too. It has 2 fuel tanks but only the rear tank is functional, front tank would need a new sending unit-the previous owner told me that he never tried using the front tank and neither have I so it hasn't been used in quite some time.  I have never had any major problems with this truck in the nine years that I've owned it. It had a little over 99000 miles when I bought it, and has around 103,000 now. It has always been garage kept since I've owned it, and only driven on sunny summer days. It has not seen rain or snow since the repaint. I predominantly use it for classic car shows, or an occaisional Sunday drive. If you are looking for a nice classic Ford truck to take to the car shows, this one would be perfect. It has been a consistent trophy winner at the shows that I've taken it to. The restoration on this truck is very nice, and much attention was paid to detail. It's almost like going back in time and finding one of these when it was nearly new. About the only bad thing that I can say about this truck is the gas mileage is horrible(7-8 mpg). I would really like to see this truck go to someone who's going to keep it as a collector's item and use it for shows, not someone looking for a daily driver. If there is anything specific on the truck that you would like to see that isn't shown in the pics, let me know. I would trust this truck to drive pretty much anywhere, but due to the poor gas mileage and the fact that it is a 40 year old vehicle that hasn't been driven on a regular basis in years, I'd strongly recommend having it shipped.

2014 Ford Fiesta Titanium

Mon, 28 Oct 2013

You might not be interested in owning a subcompact (B-segment) hatchback for $20,000. Let's be clear from the get go here: there are any number of reasonable arguments for staying away from the highest-content versions of these small cars. Ford's player in the B-segment arena is the newly updated 2014 Fiesta, and the Titanium trim represents the most luxurious instantiation of the model. We recently were loaned a Fiesta Titanium for a week, whose final sticker price hit $20,390, with navigation being the only standalone option added to the bottom line. By way of comparison, the most basic version of the all new, one-segment-up Mazda3 hatchback costs $19,740 with delivery and destination accounted for, and no options added on.
Hold on to that thought for a moment, we'll get back to it.

Project Ugly Horse: Part V

Mon, 11 Feb 2013

The Slippery Slope
I've had a healthy appreciation for cars that stop since one truly unfortunate incident with a runaway 1971 Lincoln Continental.
It's funny how quickly a party can turn from, "We're all having blast" to "What happened to the front of the house, and how many stitches do you think this is going to take?" Standing in a Mustang salvage shop in Kodak, Tennessee, I couldn't help but feel I had strayed into the latter territory with Ugly Horse. There was a supercharged 5.4-liter V8 plucked from a rear-ended Cobra sitting off to my left. The shelves were lined with second-hand Roush and SVT components galore, but I couldn't stop staring at a set of rotors with the approximate diameter of my chest.

Ford invests $682 million in Edge-producing Canadian facility

Sun, 22 Sep 2013

Ford announced that it's investing $682 million in its Oakville assembly plant in Ontario, Canada, to make it a global manufacturing plant, which the automaker also says secures 2,800 jobs there. Including this injection of cash, Ford has invested over $2 billion in Canada in the last decade, starting with nearly $1 billion for Oakville in 2004, and over $570 million for its Essex Engine Plant in 2010.
The move to make Oakville a global manufacturer of Ford vehicles means, "If consumers suddenly shift their buying habits, we can seamlessly change our production mix without having to idle a plant," says Joe Hinrichs, Ford's president of the Americas.
Ford says that the latest investment will help it meet North American demand for the Oakville-produced Edge crossover, which is on track this year to beat 2007's US sales record of 130,000 Edges. The Ford Flex and Lincoln MKX and MKT are also manufactured at the plant.
