I have a 1973 Ford F250 4 x 4 factory highboy restoration project for sale. This was a California truck that started out as a utility service vehicle. It is currently being put back together from a frame off tear down. The utility box was removed and sold, I then purchased a 1975 F250 supercab 4 x 2, for the full size bed box, and to use as a parts truck. The frame, axles, transfer case, and all suspension parts have been sand blasted. The frame and all suspension parts have been primed and painted with epoxy paint. The body parts for the cab to my knowledge are all original to the cab, and have been sanded and primed with high-build primer, ready for what little faring is necessary. The box was blasted and coated inside and under with POR-15, and has a new tailgate, (still have tailgate from parts truck) and a new side panel for passenger side that is ready to install, being POR-15 on inner wall and primed on outside surface. I have taken many pictures of every move I made on this project. I have every piece that was taken off of both vehicles. The original inner fenders, radiator support, and headlight parts are ready for priming. This was a rust free cab! Literally only one through hole on drivers side floor as big as a dime, and filled with a quarter sized patch, and I photographed it's repair. The truck came from the factory with a 360 motor, but had been replaced with a big block 460, that had a recent rebuild on it. I drove this truck onto the trailer and around before it's tear down. It drove from California to southern Wisconsin. It has the original 4 speed manual transmission, and I have a ZF 5 speed with overdrive and "granny" low, from a 1987 F350 that needs to get cleaned up, but works and is ready to ease the pain of the fuel economy
of the 460. With very little body filling to do this is ready for paint and reassembly. All of the hard parts of the project are done. I was going to strip down the motor and paint the block and other parts, so that needs to be done
as well. This is not your run of the mill Midwest mudding truck that is being re-done. It had good bones with zero cancer! The frame was blasted just to clean it, it had no rust or scale, other than surface oxidation.

Ford Ka Concept shown in Brazil, could enter production by 2014
Wed, 13 Nov 2013The Ford Ka (pronounce it like a Bostonian saying "car") is the Blue Oval's sub-Fiesta offering in a number of markets that aren't North America. It's been a staple in Europe since it launched in 1996 and in South America since 1997, where it's enjoyed quite a bit of popularity as an affordable, efficient city car.
The European and South American models grew apart over the years, until Europe ended up with a Fiesta-inspired car and Brazil retained a more evolved version of the original Ka's styling. With this Ka Concept, which is really a concept in name only, Ford is previewing a Ka not just for the European market, but as the brand's new, global small car. With city car sales expected to grow dramatically in coming years and the ever increasing price of fuel, Ford's move to get a new, competitive car into the market on a global level isn't surprising.
Wearing Ford's new, familial grille, the Ka Concept features the same crisp, sculpted sheetmetal that's adorned the Fusion and Fiesta. Developed in-house by Ford Brazil, a production version could launch by 2014, according to Ford's press release. It's unclear what engines will sit under this car's hood, although we'd bet the 1.0-liter, EcoBoost three-cylinder from the Fiesta will be available at some point.
Ford wants to double hybrid offerings by 2020
Wed, Jan 15 2014The Blue Oval is looking for folks on the other side of this Big Old Sphere to get on board with its hybrid offerings. Ford executive Raj Nair, speaking at the Detroit Auto Show this week, said the US automaker wants to double the number of hybrids models it offers by the end of the decade, Reuters reports. Details of what that actually means is anyone's guess, as it was unclear how many of those models would be in the US and how many would be overseas. That said, Nair did say that prospective customers in regions such as China and Europe would drive the expansion of offerings. Ford got off to a great start in the US last year on its hybrid sales, but then tailed off towards the end of 2013. Ford more than doubled its green-car sales in 2013 to almost 88,000 units. In that number were more than 37,000 Fusion Hybrids and more than 28,000 C-Max Hybrids sold domestically. The company also sold almost 7,500 Lincoln MKZ Hybrids. Ford's green-car totals for 2013 were up fivefold at the mid-year point, hinting that Ford's hybrid sales plateaued, at least temporarily, in recent months.
New car market raining on convertibles' parade
Mon, 08 Jul 2013Whether fitted with soft or hard folding lids, today's droptops are better than ever for year-round motoring. Advancements in power top mechanisms, sealing, aerodynamics, structural rigidity, rollover safety and creature comforts like heated and cooled seats mean that modern convertibles are more versatile and better to drive than ever before. Yet the segment's sales took a dive during the recession and haven't come back, Automotive News reports.
Part of that is because automakers are looking at today's more sensible buyers and simply not developing as many new models, and that lack of fresh iron is curbing sales. AN cites R.L. Polk data which notes that only about one percent of new vehicles registered in the US last year had tops that folded. Back in 2009, it was 1.4 percent, and it was 2 percent in 2006. All-in, some 151,636 convertibles were registered in 2012. That's more units more than were registered in each of the past three years, but the market has also grown as the economy has picked up speed, and as a percentage of new vehicles purchased, convertible sales are lagging.
Thus far in 2013, the Ford Mustang is America's top-selling convertible, with 6,421 units registered through the end of April, followed by its rival, the Chevrolet Camaro, at 4,751 units. The Volkswagen Beetle isn't far behind, with 4,305, but from that point, it's a steep drop off to the fourth-place Mercedes-Benz SL-Class and its 2,380 sales.
