1966 Ford Campwagon/Falcon Stretch Camper/Van. This is one of the nicest vehicles I have ever owned, and sadly I am selling it and saying goodbye to an old friend. This is, in my opinion, every bit as cool as a VW camper with more power and reliability! It was stripped and painted it's original color scheme by a fantastic body and paint guy who became seriously ill just as he finished the project. The body condition is clean and dry, and the paint is as close to a "10" as I have ever seen. It runs great, does not leak anywhere, has brand new tires with less than 100 miles on them, and the camper pop up mechanism is tight and leak proof, with nice windows and screens in the "upper deck.". The dinette folds into a double bed, and the seats can be flipped in any direction though facing each other with the table in the middle seems to be where it likes to stay. The front seats are perfect and original. Chrome is beautiful.

Driving it is a joy. The front end is tight, the suspension perfect and smooth, and it tracks straight down the road with only the occasional rattle from something in a cupboard! The brakes are all manual and work well. The transmission shifts perfectly and is very smooth. All fluids have been changed recently, and it's just received a new battery and starter. I have just put in a fuel sender and will hook it up this weekend. It has no radio but an antenna and hookup for easy installation.

It has:

2 burner propane stove

Sink with 4 gallon water tank

Icebox (block ice type) which lasts 3-4 days

Good cupboard space/Storage front and rear

Original hammocks (never used) that fit into holders up top and over front seats. (perfect for kids)

Spare tire brand new

It needs:

The dinette cushions should be reupholstered. *They are fine just a little frayed.

The handle on the emergency brake needs replacing.

It should get new curtains! I don't know a seamstress or I would have done it.

The dash was NOT painted when truck was stripped. To be perfect/it should be done.

I have set a reasonable reserve on this van. Please only bid if you are serious and have the funds available. Your bid is a contract and I expect you to honor it. No one with a 0 rating will be able to bid, so please...no fantasy stalkers or dreamers please! This is a beautiful and rare vehicle and it will give you years of trouble-free service with some regular care and maintenance.

Who sold the most heavy-duty pickups in 2012? PickupTrucks.com investigates

Tue, 26 Feb 2013

Domestic manufacturers enjoyed a good year for heavy-duty pickup sales in 2012. PickupTrucks.com has taken a close look at exactly how those sales broke down between each manufacturer and between three-quarter and one-ton pickups. Ford sold some 67,786 F-250 Super Duty models last year with the Chevrolet Silverado 2500 HD falling just behind at 56,359 units. The Ram 2500 HD came in third at 41,918, while the GMC Sierra 2500 HD earned itself fourth place with 27,616 deliveries. While Ford held onto the top spot in the one-ton market, Ram easily nailed down second place by selling more 3500 HD models last year than General Motors sold Silverado 3500 HD and Sierra 3500 HD trucks combined.
So, did GM manage to sell more trucks than Ford with its two brands? Very nearly. Ford sold a total of 119,338 heavy-duty pickups to GM's 111,555. Ram, meanwhile, moved a distant 77,583. But perhaps more interesting is the diesel take rate in this segment. PickupTrucks.com says 80 percent of all domestic one-ton trucks roll from the dealer lot with a turbo-diesel under the hood. Head over to the site for a closer look at the breakdown.

Ford Focus refresh shots leak ahead of Geneva

Sun, 23 Feb 2014

In case you haven't been paying attention, Ford has been gradually redesigning its lineup to sport a familiar face. The Aston Martin-inspired grille shape debuted on the Fusion and was soon applied to the Fiesta. Even the front end of the new Mustang takes its cues from the same, and we're sure other models will soon be made-over to fall in line. The next on the docket? The Focus.
Set to be unveiled in little over a week at the Geneva Motor Show, the revised Focus has leaked out a tad early, revealing a mild facelift that bears that same trapezoidal grille with horizontal slats. Along with the new grille, the headlights, lower fascia and hood appear to have been reshaped. Around back there appears to be a new rear bumper and taillights, but otherwise the shape remains largely the same as the current model.
Expect the updates to be applied to all bodystyles offered around the world, including the hatchback, wagon and sedan. The engine lineup is expected to carry over largely unchanged, though the plug-in hybrid powertrain from the C-Max Energi could port over to the revised Focus. Plus Ford seems to have taken the opportunity to spruce things up in the cabin some. Check it out in the image gallery above and watch this space for the official announcement as we pack our bags for Switzerland.

2017 Ford GT looks resplendent in Liquid Silver and will be built in Ontario

Thu, Feb 12 2015

You didn't think we'd let an opportunity to capture another high-res image gallery of our favorite vehicle from the North American International Auto Show pass by, now that it's taking center stage in Chicago, did you? Especially since it's now painted in a brand-new hue? Of course not. And so we're happy to present to you the 2017 Ford GT in Liquid Silver, wearing titanium-tinted racing stripes. It may not be as classically American as the show-stopping blue that debuted with the concept in Detroit, but it's beautiful nonetheless. And, in even better news, we hear that the GT has been confirmed for production at Ford's factory in Markham, Ontario, according to our Canadian friends at CTV News. To recap what we know about the Ford GT – besides the fact that we're in mad, mad love with it, of course Â– it's beautiful, will be powered by a mid-mounted 3.5-liter twin-turbo V6 with "more than 600 horsepower," it's beautiful, it sends all that power to the rear wheels through a seven-speed dual-clutch gearbox, it's beautiful, blends a carbon fiber monocoque and body panels with aluminum subframes, and it's beautiful. We think it's likely headed for endurance-racing competition, as was the original GT40 that is its spiritual grandfather, and we're sure it will look good doing it. Heck, maybe it'll even win at Le Mans. In any case, check it out in high-res glory below, in multiple color schemes, in both images and video.
