1955 Ford F-100, Short Bed, Custom Cab, with a 292 V8. I have a clear Utah Title in my name. This truck was restored and optioned by the previous owner. It was parked in his family's farm shed in Kansas. The owner passed away and the family left the truck, unattended, for over 25 years. I own the truck and have moved it to Utah, but I need to sell it. I have too many projects and not enough time. Please closely read my description and review all of the photos. I want the new owner to know exactly what they are getting. I highly value my 100% positive feedback on Ebay and I want the new owner to be satisfied with my truck The reserve on the truck is lower than its value.

The truck is very complete and comes with an extra, period correct, automatic transmission if you decided to change out the original manual transmission. This is a good restoration project. The major rust issue is in the driver's side floor. There are minor rust issues in the cab corners, but over all the rust problems are not serious and can be repaired without replacing panels. The Ford 292 V8 Engine is free and should start with a new set of spark-plug wires. The key to the locking gas cap is included along with the ignition keys. The wood bed slats are rotten and need to be replaced. The driver's side hood hinge doesn't work properly. The battery box has rust, but the battery box door and sides are in good condition. The truck has 1954 Chevrolet taillights that can be used or removed. The previous owner tried to wood panel the dash and door panels. The original metal is in good condition underneath the thin wood paneling. The interior was torn up and it is missing the seat. The seats are easy to find. Again, please look closely at all of the photos. If you have questions, please give me a call. My home phone number is (801) 745-0599 or email me through the Ebay message system. If you want to make a "Buy Now" offer, let me know.

If you have less than 5 positive feedbacks on Ebay, please call or email me before bidding. I want this to be a good, straightforward, auction. I can store the truck for a reasonable time period, and I will gladly ship the truck anywhere in the world. The buyer is responsible for all shipping costs and the truck is sold as is. You are welcome to come and see the truck if you want to. A $250.00 PayPal deposit is required within 24 hours of the auction closing - unless other arrangements are made. Good luck bidding. This is a good old truck that deserves a good restoration.

Foreign automakers pay from $38 to $65 per hour to non-union workers

Sun, Mar 29 2015

As leaders for the United Auto Workers gather in Detroit for their Special Convention on Collective Bargaining to work out the negotiating stance for this year's new labor agreements with the Detroit 3 automakers, what they most want to do is figure out how to eliminate the two-tier wage scale. However, the lower Tier 2 wage has allowed the domestic automakers to reduce their labor costs, hire more workers, and compete better with their import competition. As it stands, per-hour labor rates including benefits are $58 at General Motors, $57 at Ford, and $48 at Fiat-Chrysler – a reflection of FCA's much greater number of Tier 2 workers. The Center for Automotive Research released a study of labor rates (including benefits) that put numbers to what the imports pay: Mercedes-Benz pays the most, at an average of $65 per hour, Volkswagen pays the least, at $38 per hour, and BMW is just a hair above that at $39 per hour. Among the Detroit competitors, Honda workers earn an average of $49 per hour, at Toyota it's $48 per hour, Nissan is $42 per hour, and Hyundai-Kia pays $41 per hour. The lower import wages are aided by their greater use of temporary workers compared to the domestics. Automotive News says the ten-dollar gap between those foreign camakers and the domestics turns out to about an extra $250 per car in labor, which adds up quickly when you're pumping out many millions of cars. That $250-per-car number is one that, come negotiating time, the Detroit 3 will want to reduce, as the UAW is trying to raise both Tier 1 and Tier 2 wages. Another wrinkle is that the domestic carmakers are considering the wide adoption of a third wage level lower than Tier 2. Some workers who do minor tasks like assembling parts trays kits and battery packs already make less than Tier 2, but the UAW will be quite wary about cementing yet another wage scale at the bottom of the system while it's trying to fight a bigger battle at the top.

2015 Galpin Ford GTR1

Mon, 25 Aug 2014

Last year in Monterey, we met GTR1 for the first time. Galpin Auto Sports pulled the wraps off its Ford GT-based supercar, powered by a twin-turbocharged 5.4-liter V8 good for a whopping 1,024 horsepower and 739 pound-feet of torque. The thing was totally custom-made and reportedly took some 12,000 man hours to create. And there it sat on the Pebble Beach grass, $1,000,000-plus price tag and all.
This year, the Galpin was back, albeit with one big change. That twin-turbo engine? Gone. In its place, a 5.4-liter V8 with a 4.0-liter Whipple supercharger bolted on, delivering an astonishing 1,058 hp and 992 lb-ft of torque on 110-octane fuel. 0-60? 2.9 seconds. Top speed? Somewhere above 225 miles per hour.
"Some things to keep in mind: no stability control, no traction control," were the only warnings given by Galpin's Brandon Boeckmann before taking me on a quick spin in the supercar. And after having my eyes thrown into the back of my skull a few times, laughing hysterically and trying to regain full use of my hearing after my ear drums being bombarded by the apocalyptic roar behind me, Brandon pulled over and said it was my turn, if I was ready to take the wheel.

Ford bringing C-Max Solar Energi Concept to CES

Thu, 02 Jan 2014

Solar energy might not be enough to power a usable electric vehicle on its own, but that doesn't mean it can't lend a helping hand. And that's what Ford has in store for the Consumer Electronics Show opening next week in Las Vegas.
Ford has essentially taken its C-Max Energi plug-in hybrid and fitted it with the latest in solar panel technology developed by SunPower, acting like a magnifying glass to capture as much of the sun's energy as possible. So you get the benefit of an electric vehicle, with the range assurance of a hybrid, without needing to draw from the grid.
Ford estimates that a day of charging in the sunshine will give the C-Max Solar Energi concept the same full charge as the production PHEV, with a total range of 620 miles - 21 of which can be run on electric power alone. Otherwise the vehicle - which remains a concept for the time being - is identical to the existing C-Max Energi. The top-selling model in Ford's growing hybrid and electric vehicle portfolio helps put Ford just behind Toyota among the top seller of hybrids in America. Scope out the images in the gallery above and the video clip and press release below for a closer look.
