A true survivor of time is being auctioned here on ebay with a nominal reserve price. Anyone even remotely interested in antique and classic automobiles should go heads up on this one!

Okay, some pieces of this gem are missing, the original 292 CID V-8 has gone by the wayside as well as the original Cruise-A-Matic transmission, however, if you may have ideas of a

460 V-8 and a C-6 automatic, the drivetrain from a 1976 Lincoln Mark III is available for sale. It will be sold with a "clear" Texas Title.There is very little rust in this vehicle, I have not torn out the original rubber floor mat but from just a quick observation it appears to be minimal at most. Please pay attention to the pictures for the good and the bad features The dent on the right rear quarter panel is just that,, a dent, not rusted through!.Front windshield and rear window are in good shape,,  passenger door window is broken, all remaining windows are without cracks or chips. There is no rear seat! The front seat is there and recovering or replacement will be necessary. The front grille is in exceptional condition with NO dings or dents and no rust at all. I have no idea where the park lights/turn signal lights have gone, sorry! This vehicle was originally produced with a  (pink) padded dash in Kansas City. A lot of you 50's fans are going to like that option!  I have VIN coded the car to obtain some of this information, you are welcome to use this website to verify it's accuracy, http://www.vanpeltsales.com/FH_web/flathead_serialno_49-59VINdecode.htm. The chrome trim on the car is in great shape and can be shined to near perfect, the  windsheild trim has a few dents near the driver's side door, and there is a small corner piece missing on the left rear as indicated in the pictures. Front and rear bumpers are in very good shape with no dents or dings. Take a look at the pictures!  Let the bidding begin and good luck to all that are eligible.

I report non-paying auction winners to ebay and if you don't want to buy it or cannot afford it,,please do not bid. This vehicle is not driveable!  It must be picked up in Amarillo,Texas or shipped to your location. All shipping costs and expenses are the responsibility of the buyer.Seller would assist in loading only.

GM readying aluminum-body fullsize pickups

Wed, 19 Feb 2014

Ford's extensive use of aluminum in its 2015 F-150 is a big deal. A really big deal. Big enough, in fact, that General Motors is reportedly changing its fullsize pickup strategy. According to The Wall Street Journal, The General has locked in partnerships with Alcoa Inc. and Novelis Inc. - companies that will supply aluminum for the next-generation Chevrolet Silverado and GMC Sierra trucks.
"Ford's introduction of the 2015 F-150 pickup truck was a game changer, and it's the first, not the last, conversion of this type," Novelis spokesperson Charles Belbin told the Journal. The switch to aluminum has allowed Ford to shave roughly 700 pounds off its fullsize truck's curb weight. And while official mileage ratings have not been announced, the weight loss should go a long way for improving efficiency, especially when combined other efficiency-minded improvements including better aerodynamics and new, turbocharged V6 engines.
Of course, aluminum-bodied cars are nothing new. But extensive use of aluminum in a major, best-selling product like the Ford F-150 is expected to kick off widespread use of this weight-saving material as availability rises and cost decreases. The WSJ reports that GM had originally explored the idea of moving to aluminum pickups back in 2008, but abandoned the idea due to cost concerns amid economic woes.

Motor Trend pits Subaru WRX vs. Ford Focus ST

Thu, 23 Jan 2014

The Ford Focus ST has enjoyed a relatively calm, if brief, reign in the world of hot hatches. With nothing else in the class (in the States, at least) but the aging Mazdaspeed3 and Subaru Impreza WRX and the slow-selling Volkswagen Golf R, the Blue Oval's 252-horsepower five door has been the go-to vehicle for those that don't need the high-octane lunacy (and expense) of the rally bred Subaru Impreza WRX STI and Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution X.
Now, though, as the new Subaru WRX (it's not an Impreza anymore, though, neither is it a hatchback...) starts to arrive at dealers, the Focus ST appears to be under threat for the first time. Naturally, Motor Trend is here to figure out which one is the best, with another one of its Head 2 Head videos. Host Jonny Lieberman puts both cars through their paces, going above and beyond, quite literally, at the very end of the video.

Shelby Cobra, Mercedes 300SL and 1947 Woodie from Petersen Museum headed to auction

Mon, 29 Jul 2013

The changes happening at the Petersen Museum have been making the rounds in major press, but it probably won't be until August 18, during Pebble Beach, when we get the full story on what's happening; that's where and when museum reps plan on announcing the way forward for the SoCal institution. In the meantime, the museum is still reorganizing its collection, and that means auctioning some of its showpieces at this weekend's Auctions America event in Burbank.
Three of the stars are a 1964 Shelby Cobra 289, one of less than 20 produced with a three-speed C-4 automatic transmission, a 1960 Mercedes-Benz 300SL owned by actor Robert Stack and the last 1948 Ford Sportsman 'Woodie' ever produced. The Cobra, now restored to its original white exterior and red leather interior, was a factory demonstrator that first sold for $5,250. Showing just 38,950 miles on the odometer, its pre-sale estimate is $800,000 to $1 million.
The 300SL is actually a 1957 model but wasn't titled until Robert Stack took possession in 1960. The lead actor in the The Untouchables TV series used to drive by the Sunset Boulevard Mercedes dealership to ogle the car, but couldn't justify spending the money to buy it. When he and the producer of The Untouchables won Emmys for the show, the producer, who happened to be Desi Arnaz, bought the car for Stack. He owned it his whole life, it has been left as Stack drove it and still bears the California license plate "UNTCHBL."
