I bought two trucks as a package deal and cant keep both. So if your looking for a 68 ranger short bed look no further. Up for your consideration is a extremely nice well kept daily driven 1968 f-100. This truck has been in Georgia for years, from what I was told by the previous owner. It runs and drives great with a recent completely rebuilt stout 390, and manual 3 speed transmission. The truck still retains the factory column shift. The transmission shifts out great with a recent new clutch that has just been installed. Truck starts every time with the added electronic ignition. Engine and transmission runs/shift out great with no problems at all. No major leaks!! The brakes are all in working order as they should be. Truck also rides on a set of late model 15" ford wheels that are in great shape. Dual exhaust with factory exhaust manifolds. The interior is really nice considering the age of the truck. The dash pad has one crack in the middle only. Seat and carpet are all in really nice shape. The carpet is aftermarket and is in good shape but could use some trimming to fit better. Added seat belts along with the new AM/FM/CD player with ipod/aux connect port. All the glass is perfect except for one minor crack on passenger side front windshield. The crack is not bad and is definitely NOT in your line of site while driving. It may be repairable? All the rest of the glass is great with no fogging. Truck has a sliding back glass. All the gauges work perfectly. All the lights, tail lights, turn signals, emergency flashers, wipers, etc.. work perfectly. As far as the body I guarantee you wont be disappointed! All the chrome seems to be present except for the small marker lens on passenger side bed side ( cheap part). And there are only 2 small rust holes on the outside body that I could find to speak of. One small hole on lower driver door. And a very small pin hole on passenger side front fender. The inside of the bed is mint with no rust at all. The bed sides are perfect. Near Perfect floor pans,front body mounts, tailgate, hood, etc.. I have included some pictures down below of all these areas. I just drove this truck 80 miles with absolutely no problems. This truck is good to go mechanically only needing minor cosmetics, or just enjoy it and drive it as is. This is one of the nicest 67-72 ford truck unrestored body's that I have seen in years. So good luck and you don't want to miss this one! Low reserve

Jay Leno is far beyond driven in his 1971 Pantera
Mon, 23 Jun 2014Perhaps it's fitting that the band Pantera is known for its heavy metal music, because the DeTomaso Pantera is the automotive equivalent of a metal album. It's short, aggressive and makes a mean sound. It doesn't mess around either, with a Ford 351-cubic-inch (5.75-liter) V8 sending mountains of torque to the rear wheels. This week, Jay Leno takes us on a detailed tour of his '71 to show why it rocks.
There's a regular format to Jay Leno's Garage. It starts with Jay and maybe a guest taking a look at the car and talking about its history, and then they take it out on the open road. However, this video is practically a Pantera buyer's guide. Jay is adamant from the start that the last thing anyone should own is a stock example. To remedy this, he and his guest, the editor of the Pantera Club magazine, take viewers to school about some of the ways to turn them into even better performance machines.
No matter what you do to it, though, the Pantera requires that the driver adapt to it, not the other way around. For example, Jay isn't a big guy by most standards, but he has to cram himself into the cockpit with his shoes off and shirt partially unbuttoned just to go for a drive. Still, once out on the road, it all makes sense with that rumbling V8 and those Italian supercar looks. Scroll down to watch and learn a lot more about this uncompromising '70s performance car.
2015 Ford Mustang to make world debut on Dec. 5 [w/video]
Tue, 19 Nov 2013Between a bevvy of spy shots, speculative renders and insidery images from the halls of Car and Driver, we've got a pretty decent idea of what the 2015 Ford Mustang might look like. Still, we're excited to see the real deal as soon as possible.
Turns out that Ford has told us just when that first official look might come, too, although it has chosen somewhat of a backdoor fashion for dropping the news.
The video below popped up on the Ford Mustang YouTube channel this morning, promoting a social media effort called #MustangInspires on. The video and hashtag ask fans of the pony car to share pictures of the car - or "photographic stories of inspiration" - on Instagram, Facebook, Twitter, etc. But the truly interesting part of the video description is that which mentions taking "the cover off the all-new Mustang" on December 5. Consider our calendars marked.
Nuclear-powered concept cars from the Atomic Age
Thu, 17 Jul 2014In the 1950s and early 60s, the dawn of nuclear power was supposed to lead to a limitless consumer culture, a world of flying cars and autonomous kitchens all powered by clean energy. In Europe, it offered the then-limping continent a cheap, inexhaustible supply of power after years of rationing and infrastructure damage brought on by two World Wars.
The development of nuclear-powered submarines and ships during the 1940s and 50s led car designers to begin conceptualizing atomic vehicles. Fueled by a consistent reaction, these cars would theoretically produce no harmful byproducts and rarely need to refuel. Combining these vehicles with the new interstate system presented amazing potential for American mobility.
But the fantasy soon faded. There were just too many problems with the realities of nuclear power. For starters, the powerplant would be too small to attain a reaction unless the car contained weapons-grade atomic materials. Doing so would mean every fender-bender could result in a minor nuclear holocaust. Additionally, many of the designers assumed a lightweight shielding material or even forcefields would eventually be invented (they still haven't) to protect passengers from harmful radiation. Analyses of the atomic car concept at the time determined that a 50-ton lead barrier would be necessary to prevent exposure.
