This truck was purchased in oct 2012 from Virginia. Over the winter the original 390 was out to freshen it and ended up replacing it with a totally rebuilt 390 with 0 miles on it that a buddy had sitting in his shop. Everything from the 650 Edelbrock carb to the oil pan is brand new. The engine has 1800 miles on it presently with no issues. Also installed new ceramic Hedman "elite" headers, pipes and magnaflow stainless mufflers that sound great on a strong running 390. The motor is backed by arebuilt C-6 3speed auto trans and a 9" rearend. While the engine was out the engine bay was stripped and finished it in ceramic satin black paint. Everything under the hood has been replaced including all the hoses, cables, heater control, radiator, starter, alt, raq joint, steering box, brakes, wheel cylinders, and master cylinder. Inside the steering colume was replaced with a tilt out of a 79 lariat with the 14" wheel.Also replaced the dash pad, speedometer/ gauge cluster bezel, sun pro tach, am/fm cd player (sony) with Kicker speakers in the doors, speedometer cable and rear view mirror. Also installed were 2002 lariat 6 way power seat with lumbar support(working) and cup holders in the armrest for comfort with blue LED's under the seat. This truck has a totally solid body with absolutely no cab mount or floor rot issues. It has minor radiator support rust on the right side, the underside is partially cleaned up and partially cleaned up and painted ( from rearend back and front cab mounts forward). The outside body has about a 10 year old paint job, so the truck is not perfect but it draws attention everywhere it goes . If you are looking for a early 70's Ford truck with a little cosmetic work left to do to make it your own, this is the truck for you! Will also consider letting the original numbers matching 390 (drove the truck 10 hours home with) go for an additional cost. Vehicle pickup is your responsibility, NO DELIVERY! The truck is for sale locally and have the right to end the auction early. Payment to be discussed with the winning bidder. I am listing this truck for a friend, if you have any further question or concerns e-mail me and I will provide with his phone number. Thanks for looking and Good luck!

Detroit's new fleet of donated police cars have safety issues [w/video]
Wed, 23 Oct 2013In a show of generosity in mid-August, Detroit's business leaders donated $8 million to the Police Department and Fire Department in order to buy 100 new police vehicles and 23 EMS ambulances. But now officers have discovered - and complained - that the police vehicles have glaring safety issues, Deadline Detroit reports. It is not made clear what models of the fleet vehicles - which include police versions of the Ford Taurus, the Chevrolet Caprice and the Dodge Charger - are affected by the safety issues.
Officers reportedly have complained that the Plexiglass partition separating front-seat officers and back-seat prisoners is easily breached, and that the front passenger seat is installed too close to the dashboard. Prisoners who manage to writhe out of their handcuffs can bend the Plexiglass and reach into the cockpit, and sitting too close to the dashboard can render airbags more dangerous and make officers more vulnerable to injury in a crash.
Mark Diaz, president of the Detroit Police Officers Association, received the complaints and reportedly said the vehicles would get safety updates addressing the issues. But Deadline Detroit reports that it checked some of the offending police cars and, as of the last few days, they hadn't been updated.
Ford Mondeo classes up with premium Vignale trim
Wed, 11 Sep 2013Back in the day, Vignale was a carrozzeria of the highest order, alongside the likes of Pininfarina, Bertone and Zagato. But like Giugiaro-ItalDesign and Ghia, it has since been subsumed into a larger auto group. Ford ended up with it under its umbrella when it took over De Tomaso, and has since used the moniker for a number of concept cars. Now the name is back in the form of a new upscale sub-brand for the European market.
The first new model to receive the Vignale treatment is the Mondeo, which Ford unveiled here at the Frankfurt Motor Show in both sedan and wagon forms. Positioned above the Titanium trim, the Vignale model gets such special touches as chrome trim and a quilted leather interior, Vignale badges replacing any mention of the Mondeo on which it's based. It also gains an ownership experience - including free car washes for life! - to befit the upscale positioning.
Under the bright spotlights above the show floor, the Nocciola metallic brown paint might not be the most photogenic, but will likely give the Vignale edition a more premium look when it hits European dealers and roads in 2015. Whether it'll be worth however much Ford asks for it, however, remains to be seen. Scroll down below for the official press release.
William Clay Ford Sr. dead at 88
Sun, 09 Mar 2014William Clay Ford, retired vice chairman of Ford Motor Company and the last surviving grandchild of company founder Henry Ford, died this morning after a bout with pneumonia. He was 88.
Ford spent 57 years with his grandfather's company, joining the board of directors in 1948 before graduating from college. Ford also held a position as chairman of the design committee, as well as the chairman of the executive committee and vice chairman of the Board of Directors during his tenure with the company. In a 2013 Detroit Free Press story, retired CFO Allan Gilmour said Ford had an eye for design, and was once able to pick out when a fiberglass model of a Ford Contour was asymmetrical, off by an inch on one side. He retired and assumed the position of director emeritus in 2005.
"My father was a great business leader and humanitarian who dedicated his life to the company and the community," said Bill Ford, Jr., Ford's current executive chairman. "He also was a wonderful family man, a loving husband, father, grandfather and great-grandfather. He will be greatly missed by everyone who knew him, yet he will continue to inspire us all."
