Clear on 2040-cars
Harvey, Arkansas, United States
Restored 1974 Ford F250 Pickup. Only about 2,000 miles put on it since the rebuild/restoration. Over $17,000 in receipts not including paint and labor (receipts included). We purchased this truck in late 2014 from a retired mechanic who restores vehicles to keep busy. All restoration work was done in 2013-2014. We purchased it for use around our ranch but have used it very little. We are simplifying our lives and need to move it along. This truck has a completely rebuilt Ford FE 390 with Edelbrock aluminum 428cj heads, Sanderson ceramic coated block hugger headers, hi output digital ignition and rebuilt C6 tranny. Modern air conditioning compressor and comp cam. Runs smooth but strong. All new exhaust (the sound is a low rumble) and electric fuel pump with regulator. The interior was redone, all new glass in cab front, side and rear sliding window and a new custom stereo that fits dash. Exterior paint is gun-metal grey and has faint ghost flames on the sides. (Note: the paint has faded in some areas and there are several rust spots coming up underneath the paint in places.) Old logo is airbrushed on the tailgate. (Note: there are some small holes in the bed of the truck, but the bed is still structurally sound. The previous owner had covered it with a heavy rubber mat.) I am not a motor head, but have been told that this engine configuration is worth quite a bit of money on its own. This is not a show truck, but could be a daily driver and a good buy for someone looking for a nice older Ford.

Ford adds 850 jobs to build 2015 F-150
Tue, 14 Oct 2014Pickup trucks tend not to advance at quite the same pace as the rest of the industry. That's what makes the new Ford F-150 so remarkable, jettisoning its old steel construction in favor of aluminum. It's a game changer that Ford is betting big on, and in anticipation of surging demand, the Blue Oval automaker is adding 850 new jobs to put the thing together.
Those 850 new employees will be centered at Ford's Rouge complex in Michigan - with 300 at Dearborn Stamping, 50 more at Dearborn Diversified and 500 at the Dearborn Truck facility, the latter of which has already kicked off what Ford describes as "the largest manufacturing transformation in decades." Old manufacturing equipment is being replaced with the latest technologies, and even the Ford Rouge Factory Tour is undergoing a complete overhaul.
The new jobs come as part of the commitments Ford made to the UAW in 2011 to create 12,000 hourly jobs in the United States by 2015 - a number which Ford has already exceeded at 14,000. Over 4,000 of those are centered in southeastern Michigan.
Ford Recalls '13 Escape For 11th Time
Fri, Aug 15 2014Only in dealer showrooms for two years now, the 2013 Ford Escape has already been recalled for safety hazards 11 times. The most recent recall for the beleaguered vehicle came Friday, when the company announced it was recalling almost 160,000 Escapes and Focus ST hatchbacks from the '13 and '14 model years because of a wiring problem that could cause the engine to stall. Caused by a faulty wiring harness, Ford said the defect could result in reduced power, hesitation or outright stalling. The company said it knew of no crashes or injuries caused by the flaw. Customers affected will be notified by mail. It was the latest problem for a vehicle beset by recalls from the moment it started rolling off the assembly lines. Starting on July 6, 2012, the '13 Escapes have been recalled for an assortment of problems, including multiple hazards with fuel lines that could result in engine fires, fluid leaks in the engine that could also result in fires, problems with engines overheating, delays in airbags deploying and more.

Why Ford's Alan Mulally would be right for Microsoft, or any company
Thu, 03 Oct 2013
That Mulally was seriously being considered says a great deal about Microsoft and Mulally.
It appears that the chatter about Ford CEO Alan Mulally possibly leaving early to take over as CEO of Microsoft is losing air pretty fast. What's pretty interesting is that it got any traction in the first place.
