I am selling my 1965 Ford F-100 stepside longbed truck.  I have had this project for about 15 years and this is as far as I have made it, do to life issues.  I do not plan to finish the truck and what is done is done right with good parts.  I have most of the rest of the parts except the items I was going to replace new during the restore.  I do not have the bumpers or windshield. bed floor, slats and some other small items.  I have striped another truck so I have several extra parts.  I was going to restore the truck as close to stock as possible except for the engine.  The origional engine was a 6 cyl and I have a 289 in it now.  What I have done is the frame and cab have been striped down the bare metal and all rust repaired.  cab has new cab mounts.  The rear end is stock and looks good.  All the brakes are new with new drums, bearings, lines and hoses.  Front end has all new moog parts allong with new king pins.  New monroe shocks and new bushings and front and rear springs.  The engine I bought off a guy who recentaly had it rebuilt at a shop in town, I put a edelbrock intake and 650 carb on it along with new water pump, distribuator, and some dress up parts.  Engine looks good.  It has the stock 3 speed manual trans with a new clutch kit installed.  I have the radiator support, inner finders, battery tray and a few other parts painted and done.  I have 2 sets of front fenders and doors for it.  I have the stepside bed for it also.  This would be a good project which is well started.  Not too far if you wanted to change something.  The cab is just resting on the frame in the pictures.  Any questions call 620-757-9715.  Leave a message if no answer. Thank you.

Ford GT40 makes historic return to racing at Goodwood

Wed, 23 Oct 2013

Is there a more iconic, American racecar than the Ford GT40? That may be a discussion for another day (although by all means, tell us how wrong we are in Comments), but this video of heaps of GT40s running in the Goodwood Revival races certainly has us thinking that Ford's Ferrari-killer might just be the best racer the Land Of The Free and Home Of The Brave has ever come up with.
That's completely ignoring the fact that the GT40 was largely developed by Brits using American money, but that's besides the point (there was also a rather brash Texan, who had a big role later in development). The resulting vehicle was dominant, besting the cars of Il Commendatore from 1966 to 1969, although it should be noted that Ford's GT40 was unable to beat Ferrari in its first two Le Mans outings in 1964 and 1965.
Those four years of dominance, which started with Ford sweeping the podium, were enough to establish the GT40's legend. And now, here we are almost 50 years later, celebrating the mid-engined monsters at Goodwood, in their first ever one-make race. Take a look below for the entire video.

How the Ford Shelby Mustang came to be

Fri, 20 Sep 2013

Even as rumors swirl that the next-generation of high-performance Ford Mustang will drop the Shelby name, Ford has released a short video telling how the legend of the Shelby Mustang came to be. In its latest installment of its video series entitled Mustang Countdown, Ford dug up some footage from Carroll Shelby to give a little insight into how this automotive icon was created.
While it's definitely interesting to hear the late legend tell the story in his own words (including numerous references to the 1964 Mustang as a "secretary's car"), it's also pretty funny learning exactly how the Shelby GT350 got its name in the first place - a name allegedly making a comeback as the replacement for the current Shelby GT500. As development work continues on the 2015 Ford Mustang, the Shelby video posted below shows that the automaker is always looking at its past - even as it looks ahead to the future.

Ford says C-Max mpg reduction has hurt sales

Tue, 22 Apr 2014

The Ford C-Max is having a rough time. Sales for the five-door hybrid hatchback were down 39.1 percent in March to 2,295 cars, and sales from January through March were down 42.5 percent to 5,566 units. In an interview with The Detroit News, Ford Americas boss Joe Hinrichs places the blame on lowering the model's fuel economy rating.
"We're definitely seeing consideration on C-Max decline over time. We need to reinvest in the product because it's a great car," said Hinrichs to The Detroit News.
The company was hit with bad publicity over the C-Max when owners in multiple states filed class action lawsuits that alleged the cars weren't able to meet the stated fuel economy. Ford eventually re-rated the model from 47 miles per gallon city, highway and combined to 40 mpg city, 45 mpg highway and 43 mpg combined. To soften the blow of the change, the automaker sent checks to the owners to make up some of the difference. Initially, Ford claimed that demand remained strong for the hybrid. However, the latest sales figures and Hinrichs' statement seem to show the opposite.
