1959 Ford F250 Pick Up Truck on 2040-cars
Sacramento, California, United States
1959 Ford F250 / LWB Step Side Pickup A Real Barn / Vineyard Find Up for auction is a complete, unmolested 1959 F250 LWB Step Side truck, we acquired this as a truck to part out as that is our main business parting out trucks for restoration projects and felt it was worth salvaging because of its history and it is all original except the bed*, even the seat appears to have the original upholstery. Current bed came from a Cal Trans Maintenance truck. The 223 6 cylinder engine runs beautifully, engine does not smoke or knock. Overall truck is in good to fair condition, it does not have much rust and the only real rust through is shown at the corners of the doors. We have rebuilt and replaced master cylinders, clutch slave, wheel cylinders and done a complete brake job. The gas tank and fuel system has been flushed, Carburetor rebuilt and fuel pump changed. Also a major tune up has been done. We have a clear California title and bill of sale for the vehicle. so if you were to register it I do believe you could drive it away. As long as you don't go far. It does need a set of tires, we put a set of used 16.5" wheels and tires on the truck as it had 4 flats on the original 17.5" rims when we acquired it, the original rims do come with the truck, if one wants to be totally authentic. All of this said here is the history of the truck as we know it. It spent its life as a working vineyard vehicle in the Napa Valley of California. The truck originally came with a step side bed which as happened in the day was discarded in favor of a home made flatbed for hauling grape boxes from the fields to processing. Truck was parked behind a barn in 1999 and basically forgotten. We acquired it about a year ago and have had it in a storage yard waiting to be parted out. We realized it should be given another chance once we reviewed its condition. In our clean up tore off the old wooden flat bed, we also had a LWB step side bed in nice condition to bring it back to more original so this is what we are doing. If buyer does not want that we can accommodate. Please look carefully at the photos of this truck before bidding and please contact us to answer more questions. Vehicle is located at our shop in Sacramento, CA where we maintain regular business hours if you should wish to look at the truck. We ship world wide and regularly ship to Europe, New Zealand, Australia and South America if you are an overseas buyer we have excellent references regarding our abilities for shipping.

Automakers tussle over owners of 'orphan' makes
Thu, 10 May 2012When General Motors put down several of its brands in recent years, it also let loose thousands of brand-loyal customers who will eventually need another car.
R.L. Polk Associates estimates there are more than 18 million cars from 16 discontinued makes on the road today. Those "orphan owners" have sales-hungry competitors seeing dollar signs. GM is offering Saturn owners $1,000 cash toward a Chevy Cruze, Cadillac CTS or a GMC Acadia. Ford is giving its Mercury lease customers a chance to get out of their contracts with no early-termination penalty and offering to waive six remaining payments if they drive off in a Ford or Lincoln.
Edmunds.com research shows the efforts are paying off somewhat for GM, with 39 percent of Pontiac owners, 37 percent of Hummer owners and 31 percent of Saturn owners taking delivery of another GM-branded vehicle. But that leaves as much as 69 percent of owners going elsewhere. Ford, Honda and Toyota seem to be attracting many former GM owners.
Unrestored 1969 Shelby GT500 one of many classic barn finds going to auction
Wed, 19 Mar 2014We love a good barn find here at Autoblog. We like that there's a palpable excitement and sense of mystery surrounding barn finds. Each case has its own uniqueness to it, and this latest discovery is no different: an unrestored, one-owner 1969 Shelby GT500 with just 8,531 miles on it.
In the case of this particular barn find, many of the typical questions have already been answered. For example, we know who owned it - his name was Larry Brown. He recently passed away, and as he had no wife or children to inherit the estate, the car he purchased at Pennsylvania Ford dealer in May of 1969, will be auctioned off by Ron Gilligan Auctioneers.
The car was fastidiously maintained, having never been driven in the rain. In fact, Brown never even washed it, out of fear of it rusting. According to the auction website, the last time this car saw water was probably when it was detailed ahead of being delivered to Brown. If that doesn't sound like a fanatical sense of maintenance on the part of this GT500's owner, this next part will. The interior has been treated to a similarly painstaking attempt at preservation, with garbage bags covering the seats and two layers of floor mats over the carpets. The result is a car that, aesthetically, is in remarkable shape considering it's spent so long in a barn.
What next for Alan Mulally?
Wed, 23 Apr 2014Alan Mulally has emerged as a hero when it comes to American manufacturing. He came to Ford in 2006 after serving as head of Boeing's commercial aircraft division, streamlined operations, sold off the costly elements of its Premier Automotive Group and saved Ford from having to be bailed out by the federal government like its cross-town rivals Chrysler and General Motors did. But as we reported mere days ago, he's widely expected to step down from the chief executive's office at Ford shortly.
So what's next for one of the most successful executives in the business? Hard to say, but don't expect Mulally to disappear into retirement. Though he didn't ultimately take the top job at Microsoft, industry insiders expect to see him in another influential position - likely as a board director or even chairman of another company. (We say "another company" and not Ford because while Bill Ford may have stepped aside as CEO to bring Mulally on board in the first place, we don't see him giving up his chairmanship of the board also.)
Mulally has likely already lined up his next move, and could either announce what that move will be as soon as Ford confirms Mark Fields as his successor, or could wait awhile. Insiders speculate that he could leverage his transportation and aerospace experience into a position at General Electric or a major airline, his manufacturing expertise to benefit a company like Procter & Gamble or his management skills at a consultancy firm.
