There can only be one new owner of this totally functional solid driver at this bargain price.

Impressive "driver".  Starts & runs very nicely, no smoke or overheating.  Lots of power/pep.  Starts with key, original toggle "ON" switch, & push button.  Second gear works fine, but catches a little once in awhile. 

Old or patina is the paint description (age cracks that are not letting go; mostly tailgate: see tailgate picture). 

Mostly solid minimal rust original.  Exceptions are 12 volt system & later year flathead V8.  Has new glass pack mufflers which gives it a nice rod sound, but not too loud.  The wood rails added to the bed top is done very nicely.

Rust free frame & over-all body.  Some minor areas need attention.  All glass is new  (both door windows roll easy ).  Doors open/close flush & firm; no drops/rubbing or squeaks.  Bed wood & metal retainers are good.

The interior is great with gauges working.  Interior dome light added & works. The cab floor & firewall have complete Ford aftermarket repro insulation installed (under rubber mat also).  One sun visor (as originally was equipped).  Wiper does work, but 6 inches & slow.  Steering wheel horn button works & an added ahooga horn with a seperate button, works.  All lights & directionals work (four way also).  The added "spot lights" on the left & right of windshield do not work & are for nostalgic finness? I guess they could be wired to light & then add blackout/shade out flaps (many of these trucks did their World War two civil service civilian attack watch duty)?    

This had a long time owner.  Always garaged in his ownership.  Clear Florida title. 904-881-3495.

Old Bronco's are going for $20k+.  Here is a pre WWII, most popular year/style, more than just novalty.  Drive as is, or make it a $40k piece of art.  So far, I've had a local decent cash offer & an even trade offer of a 37 chevy coupe hot rodded ($34k asking on window for sale; rack/pinion steer;  A/C; custom interior; rear air hydraulic levelers, etc).  These offerees have seen & drove the truck. 

This listing has been set to auto assign relist at end of this listing if not sold; same terms/price.  An automatic "accept" price has been checked in the "make offer" options.  This means if met, you could win & own unless a different bidder outbids @ last minute.

Former Cadillac boss Butler takes Ford tech job

Tue, 07 Jan 2014

When Don Butler made the surprising decision to leave his post as Cadillac's VP of global strategic development, it was a surprise. Citing a desire to "recalibrate, reassess my priorities" in that August announcement, it wasn't entirely clear where Butler - a virtual General Motors lifer after spending nearly 30 years with the company - would end up. Turns out he took a trip to Dearborn.
Butler has taken a position in the newly created position of Executive Director of Connected Vehicles and Services at Ford, where he'll be responsible for the Blue Oval's global connectivity strategy. "Not only does Don understand the connected car landscape, but probably just as important, he understands customer expectations," said Raj Nair, who, as Group Vice President of Global Product Development, is Butler's new boss. "Having a leader with technology experience both inside and outside the industry is a rare combination - we're excited to have Don join our team."
As Ford has received its fair share of flak for the sometimes recalcitrant MyFord Touch infotainment system and its Sync voice-controls, it appears that Butler has his work cut out for him.

2013 Shelby GT350

Fri, 31 May 2013

Shelby is a name as synonymous with the Ford Mustang as marshmallows are with campfires. But unlike the short-lived sugary confection that is prepared on a stick, the late Carroll Shelby's name on the placard means added performance and exclusivity. Launched in 1965, the automaker's celebrated early cars were in production for a limited run - today, a mint concours-quality 1965 Shelby GT350 can sell for upwards of $350,000.
To coincide with the 45th anniversary of the original Shelby GT350, Shelby American reintroduced the GT350 in 2011. Like the original, it was only offered in white with blue stripes. Customers were offered a choice between naturally aspirated (440 horsepower) and two levels of supercharging (525 horsepower with a warranty or 624 horsepower without). The manufacturer calls the GT350 a "post-title" package, a term that means it starts out life as a stock Mustang and is modified outside Ford's factory (this is in contrast to the Shelby GT500, which is a standard Ford production car).
As the GT350 enters its third year, Shelby has made several changes. Mechanically, Wilwood brakes replace Baer units and Recaro seats and a tinted glass roof are on the options list. Cosmetically, the vehicle is now offered in most of the Blue Oval's factory colors, new multispoke wheels are available in Satin Black or Bright Silver Metallic finish, and customers can choose between Satin Black, Silver or Gloss White stripes (or Azure Blue Metallic on Performance White or Ingot Silver). Aesthetically, the look of the car has also changed somewhat - keen eyes will note that it actually appears more 'stock' than it did last year.
