Beautiful 1965 Ford F-100 pick-up truck. Much work has been done and many new parts installed. Have receipts for all the work done and for all the parts purchased. This used to be a manual transmission truck but was converted to automatic. Rebuilt Ford truck transmission installed professionally with all the modifications needed. Very nice and expensive job. The previous owner painted the truck. Nice paint job still shines and looks good. New front and rear bumpers were installed. I installed new carpet and found the original solid floor pans. New seat cover and new foam also installed. NOS AM radio works but weak in volume for some reason. New dash bezel also installed with new glove box liner. Also a new original type head liner installed as well and sunvisors, mirror and new attaching pieces.
Original steel wheels were sandblasted and painted. Original hubcaps were put on and new tires with 10 miles on them were installed. New brakes and new shocks were installed. The bottom was all sanded down. Suspension parts were painted and the rest was undercoated.
The engine bay was sanded to bare metal and then primered and painted. All the parts on top of the engine were replaced such as spark plugs, wires, Pertronix electronic ignition, new carburator, new water pump, hoses, radiator, belts, battery tray, starter solenoid, battery tray. In addition the two engine wiring harnesses were replaced with brand new ones. The front to the rear wiring harness was also replaced with a new one.
The engine is a 353 2-bbl carb with manual choke. Starts right up and drives well. This is a very nice truck that has most of the work already done to it so it is in turn key and drive condition. The gauges all work but on occasion the speedometer needle sticks now and then. I have a new cable but have not put it in yet. A minor fix.
The truck is a long bed and a Ford C-6 transmission was installed. Truck also comes with a new custom fitted weather proof cover.

Ford Fiesta ST orders off to strong start
Fri, 17 May 2013We at Autoblog love the new little Ford Fiesta ST, and apparently, folks in Europe are pretty impressed with it, as well. According to Ford, the automaker's European arm has already logged 3,000 orders for the new hot hatch since it hit dealerships this March. The US-spec car, which will only be available as a five-door, will go on sale in the United States this summer.
What's perhaps most interesting about the Fiesta ST ordering is that the majority of customers appear to be ordering high-spec cars. According to Ford data, 60 percent of customers have opted for the leather interior with Recaro buckets, and 90 percent have selected the upgraded 17-inch wheels (seen on our test car, above). Spirit Blue has been the most popular color, commanding 27 percent of all orders. As for the technology upgrades, 19 percent of customers have ponied up for the Sony stereo with navigation.
To recap, the Fiesta ST is offered with Ford's 1.6-liter EcoBoost four-cylinder engine, putting out 179 horsepower and 177 pound-feet of torque, mated exclusively to a six-speed manual transmission. We had an absolute blast flinging the hot Fiesta through the French Alps, and we can't wait for this sharp little hatch to make its way over to the States.
Recharge Wrap-up: Tesla details factory expansion; Ford and SunPower raise money for Sierra Club
Thu, Nov 20 2014Tesla has revealed the details of the upgrade of its Fremont, CA factory. One major change is the addition of a dedicated production space for the dual-motor P85D version of the Model S. Robots will be doing the battery installation on the Model S to save some time, and new export docks allow Tesla to get the cars out the door and on the way to their new owners more quickly. The new robots that move the cars around the factory have been named after X-Men characters, which makes our inner geeks smile. Check out the factory upgrade in the time-lapse video below and read more at Teslarati or at the Tesla Motors Blog. A program in Beijing for privileged registrations for EVs hasn't had much success. Of the 1,424 lottery winners, only about 30 percent went on to register an electric car despite a two-month extension of the deadline to do so. Buyers are likely discouraged by the lack of charging infrastructure, which the city hopes to ameliorate with the addition of 1,000 new charging stations by the end of the year, and by requiring new and renovated developments to set aside parking specifically for EV charging. Read more at Green Car Reports. The UC Davis Institute of Transportation Studies suggests that laws designed to protect dealers and consumers are stymieing the adoption of EVs. Laws like the ones certain states have in place that block or otherwise restrict Tesla's direct-to-consumer business model are not helpful for companies that want to introduce new products to the market. They prevent companies from passing on savings to customers for whom they would likely make the difference in a purchasing decision. One possible solution would be to allow exemptions to certain selling restrictions for a certain number of vehicles sold. "This could give automakers the degree of control needed to work out kinks with early customers, develop scalable processes for supporting PEVs, and ensure that effective dealer performance standards are in place before handing the reins over to wholly independent retailers," according to UC Davis ITS.

The main purpose of the program is to move toward eco-friendlier carmaking at each of its plants worldwide.
2013 Ford C-Max Hybrid
Thu, 02 May 2013No Prius Killer
As much as we enthusiasts like to rail on the lowly Toyota Prius as the harbinger of death for all we hold dear, there's no denying the machine's absolute and interminable grip on the hybrid hatchback market in the United States. Toyota has so thoroughly sunk its teeth into the segment that you can clearly hear the automaker's incisors clacking against one another with the conclusion of each financial quarter. And there's little wonder why. Buyers can plop down less than $25,000 and have a runabout that can return up to an estimated 51 miles per gallon in the city, leaving every other entry on the market with precious little gristle to gnaw on.
Enter the 2013 Ford C-Max Hybrid. With its claimed 47 mpg combined, the funky little hatch from Europe already falls behind the 48 mpg city offered by the Prius, but that marginal sacrifice in fuel economy could be a small price to pay for buyers who want a credible alternative to the stalwart Toyota. Unfortunately, like the Fusion Hybrid, the C-Max Hybrid had trouble even approaching its Environmental Protection Agency estimates during our time with the car.
