One nice solid 1959 Ford F-100 pick up truck.The truck is a 1/2 ton short wheelbase with the fleetside bed,the overall condition is very nice driver condition it is not show perfect but above average driver quality.The body is very nice the truck was painted once I think in the late seventies or early eighties,the paint is in nice condition but it does have some chips and scratches and some spots where the paint is thin where it has been polished,there also are some spots where the paint has been touched up. I don`t see any rust issues in the body other than a little spot on the bottom inside below the hinge on the passenger door.There are some spots on the body where you can see the body filler cracking,all this is minor and cannot be seen unless right on the area.The tailgate does have some damage where it has broke and been rewelded,also it has a some dents in it along the center section.The inside of the bed is nice with minimal wear and tear.It does have snaps attached to the bed side where it had a tonneau cover at one time.The grille and bumpers are all nice.The rubber around the windows does show its age.The wheels are not the stock wheels and are 15 inch with newer BF Goodrich Silvertons wide whitewall tires.The engine and transmission are both all stock with the exception of the engine exhaust crossover pipe has been remove and dual exhust installed,it also has the Petronix conversion done to the stock distributor.The engine runs good with no real issues it could use a good tune-up and possibly a carb overhaul to make it really purr.The trans is the factory granny low 4 speed trans it works good with no issues,the rest of the drivertrain as far as I know is in good shape.I have put quite of trouble free miles on the truck and it drives stops and rides nice for an old truck. It has no power steering or brakes.The inside is nice as well it has what appears to be a factory headliner that covers the floor and the sides of the rear window.The seat and floor mat are both nice as well the I/P lights wipers all work.The truck also has a vintage Dixco tach with vintage Stewart warner temp and oil pressure gauges.The truck would make a nice driver for the entry level Classic car person,A nice period 1960`s hot rod base to start with or a nice solid piece to do the frame off restoration. Please ask any questions and it is avaliable for personal inspection or test drive if you are local. I will require a 500.00 deposit within 48 hours and payment in full at pick-up. The truck is licensed and road worthy but it is not a comfortable long journey ride.I have the California title in hand.So if you are looking for a nice ride for next summer here it is !!!!

1964 Ford GT40 prototype to be auctioned in April
Wed, 12 Mar 2014The Ford GT40 owns a firm spot on the list of the greatest American racecars ever made, being the first car from the United States to take an overall win in the 24 Hours of Le Mans. And now Mecum will auction what it claims is second-oldest GT40 still in existence at its Houston sale on April 12.
The story of the GT40 is fascinating. Henry Ford II attempted to buy Ferrari in the early '60s, but Enzo refused. Ford decided if he couldn't have them, then he would beat the Prancing Horse on the track. Ford went to Carroll Shelby and asked him to spearhead the program. The early cars combined a steel monocoque chassis with Ford's 4.2-liter V8 engine pumping out around 350 horsepower. The first prototype made its public debuted on April 1, 1964, at the New York Auto Show.
Shelby kept building prototypes, including GT/104, which is for sale here. This version featured a lighter steel chassis and was raced at Le Mans in 1964. However, a fire forced it to retire. It was then repainted and had a 4.7-liter (289-cubic-inch) engine fitted. The chassis had its best finish at the 1965 Daytona Continental 2,000 Kilometers where it finished third with Bob Bondurant and Ritchie Ginther behind the wheel. Later that season, it was shipped back to Ford where it was restored and displayed at auto shows until 1971 when the automaker sold it. Since then, it has had many private owners.
Ford builds one-off 50th anniversary Mustang Convertible for charity
Thu, 08 May 2014At the New York Auto Show this year, Ford revealed a special-edition Mustang to honor the iconic pony car's 50th anniversary. Only 1,964 highly symbolic examples will be made, all of them fixed-roof coupes. But the Blue Oval automaker has just announced that it's also building a single 50 Years edition convertible that it will raffled off for charity.
The first production example of the new Mustang Convertible to roll off the line this fall, this one-off will pack many of the features on the 50 Years coupe, including its white paintjob, chrome trim, aluminum dashboard, two-tone upholstery, contrast stitching, special 19-inch wheels and special-edition badging throughout.
This unique cabrio will also be fitted with a special performance pack including Pirelli PZero rubber, Brembo brakes and a limited-slip differential to help get the 420 horsepower and 390 pound-feet of torque from the 5.0-liter V8 through the six-speed manual transmission and down to the road. It'll also feature a serial plaque with the number 0001 of 0001 and chairman Bill Ford's signature.
Ford hybrids getting update to improve fuel economy
Tue, 16 Jul 2013Ford has announced that it is introducing "calibration updates designed to improve on-road fuel economy for owners of the 2013 Ford C-Max Hybrid, 2013 Ford Fusion Hybrid and 2013 Lincoln MKZ Hybrid."
We can speculate that these changes are at least due in part to lawsuits over mileage claims of hybrid vehicles. The automaker is enhancing 2013 models starting in August by raising their electric cruising speed to 85 miles per hour from 62 mph, optimizing the use of active grille shutters and the climate control system, shortening the engine warm-up period by 50 percent and reducing electric fan speed to minimize the fan's energy consumption.
It bears mentioning that Ford is doing pretty well in the US electrified vehicle market this year. The company claims to have grown its share in the segment by 12 points to 16 percent while taking a high number of Toyota Prius trade-ins in the process. Conversely, Toyota has experienced a five-percent drop in new-Prius sales over the same period. Additionally, Ford states that it has increased its share of the US vehicle market by one percent this year, more than any full-line automaker.
