We have owned this pickup since 1985. Found it "forgotten" in a farmer's yard. We have done a total restoration, and then modernized it to make it safe at today's highway speeds.Started restoration by re and re'ing cab corner posts, and removing all damage and bondo and replacing with steel. Powered by a 1964 Thunderbird 390 cid, that has been totally rebuilt. Paired to a rebuilt C6 Tranny, with a B & M slap-stick shifter built in to a custom console, which is between bucket seats. The drive train is balanced, with new u-joints, and attached to a 9" Ford Rear end. Custom anti sway bars front and rear, and new power disc brakes on front (Corvette), with stock drums on rear. Dual exhaust with two flowmaster mufflers, with chrome tips. Flip down rear licence plate (with lites). Bed is custom made of spruce with marine varnish with stainless strips between planks. Rear of deck features stainless plate that house two LED turn/signal lites. Anyone who flashes their highbeams at me, get it right back in their own face from the pooilished stainless plate. Cab interior has black carpets. Bucket seats that are cloth...grey with teal insert to match exterior color scheme. Dash and interior painted same teal color as exterior, but roof, door panels and rear wall are covered in grey upholstrey material. Fuel tank that was originally inside the cab, behind the bench seat is "history."..made extra storage space for small suitcase for road trips. Replaced that stock interior tank with a new 25 gallon tank, placed between frame rails at rear of vehicle, with a hidden fuel filler cap. Shaved door handles. Shaved fuel filler cap. Keyless entry. Hidden mechanical passenger door release. Alarmed. Extra red warning lite on dash to signal alarm working.

Milage starts at zero with total rebuild. This is a NEW 1960 Pickup, thus low, low mileage. Exterior Sun Visor. Halogen headlites. Parking lites are wired to stay on when headlites are "on." Mag wheels with radial tires.(80% tread remaining) Am/FM/CD Alpine system with frenched in power antenna. There is NO RUST or any damage or electrical issues. This pickup can be driven immediately, anywhere at highway speeds, and then some. We are selling it, and all of our other collector vehicles, as we are downsizing to a smaller home, with no garage/storage area. This is NOT a desperation sale. Have investered over 100-thousand dollars to make this a one-of-a kind-eye-candy vehicle, that will be worth more with each pasing year. There is nothing else needed to be done, except drive and enjoy. Priced to sell at $42,500 firm.

2015 Ford F-150 pricing announced, aluminum-bodied truck up just $395

Mon, 28 Jul 2014

The eagerly anticipated Ford F-150 has had its 2015 pricing announced, adding only a small amount to the pickup's total cost, despite its weight-saving aluminum body. The XL and XLT entry level models only see a $395 boost over the heavier, current-generation, 2014 truck.
The XL starts at $26,615 while the XLT rings up at $31,890. The increase for Lariat is up a similarly negligible $895, to $39,880. Going up the ladder, meanwhile, the leather-intensive King Ranch sees the biggest jump of the F-150 family, with prices increasing $3,515, to $49,460. Finally, picking up the top-end Platinum trim will cost an extra $3,055, with prices starting at $52,155.
The higher prices are being blamed not only on the aluminum bodies, which trim up to 700 pounds of body fat, but on increased levels of standard equipment. While we were expecting a price hike, the fact that the 2015 F-150's volume trims - Ford spokesman Mike Levine told Reuters that the XL and XLT alone cover 70 percent of F-150 sales - have had less than a $400 increase is hugely impressive.

Is Tesla's next project an F-150 competitor? [w/poll]

Wed, 13 Nov 2013

What's the future look like for Tesla after it launches the Model X CUV and possibly a smaller, sub-Model S sedan? Would you believe a pickup truck? Yes, Tesla could be looking to use its EV know-how to take the fight to Ford and the F-150, based on comments made by company founder Elon Musk.
"If you're trying to replace the most gasoline miles driven, you have to look at what people are buying," Musk said during an impromptu Q&A session following a speech at Business Insider's Ignition conference. "[The F-150 is] the best selling car in America. If people are voting that's their car, then that's the car we have to deliver."
And while the idea of electric pickup may sound kind of absurd to some, Musk makes a very valid point - if Tesla's goal is to replace gas miles with electrical miles, it simply can't afford to ignore pickups.

Monsoon rains disrupt production for Ford, BMW in India

Wed, Dec 2 2015

Even modern production techniques can be stymied by Mother Nature. This was demonstrated most recently in India, as torrential, monsoon rains caused a deluge that forced multiple automakers to suspend production. Ford, Renault, and BMW all halted work at their Indian facilities around the southern city of Chennai, also known as Madras. The annual rains disrupted public transport around the city, preventing employees from making the trek into city's factories. According to Automotive News, Chennai saw 48 inches of precipitation last month alone, which is more than Seattle, WA saw in all of 2014. While Ford and BMW closed things down for all of December 1, Renault just cancelled a pair of shifts at its Chennai factory. This is the second time in the past month that automakers in southeast India have been forced to stop production due to severe flooding, and things aren't likely to improve. According to The Weather Channel, forecasts call for thunderstorms over five of the next seven days, while the chance of rain won't fall below 80 percent until December 8. Ford, Renault, and BMW are far from the only automakers that could stand to be impacted by the rains. The city has been nicknamed "The Detroit of India" for its extreme automotive presence. Daimler, Hindustan, Hyundai, Mitsubishi, and Nissan all own factories in the region.
