Up for your serious consideration is a one family owned, completely frame off restoration 1986 Ford F-250 HD , XLT Lariat, Camper Special , 4X4. My father, who has passed away, purchased this truck all those years ago brand NEW of the lot from Don Kott Ford of Carson, California on March, 22nd 1986 . This completely rust free truck has spent all of her days in sunny Santa Monica, Ca until my uncle took it over after our dad died. He drove it a short time and then parked it in his garage for a few years till my husband and I took it over and put it through a major restoration that took four years and over $20K . Since the restoration the truck has been driven very little, only weekends and car shows.
Engine Rebuild:
The engine underwent a complete dis-assembly, thorough cleaning and inspection of all internal parts. All necessary machine work was done, high quality USA made parts were used to rebuild this 460 Ford.. The engine is running well and only has ~5000 miles since the rebuild.

Transmission and Transfer Case:
We remember the transmission had been rebuilt before dad died and did not have many miles put on it. It was opened up anyway and inspected and only needed a filter kit , fluid change , and the seals replaced. We also chose to install a new chrome "Oversize" pan & filter kit. Transmission works great with no issues.
Transfer case was opened up inspected & rebuilt with a kit, all seals bearings were replaced as well as a new chain. Both units are working great. Low gear / Low Range she will climb up a mountain.
Body and Paint Work:
All the metal - cab, doors, fenders, bed box, are the originals and true to the truck. None of the body parts were replaced with imported after market parts. The front bumper, grill and headlamp bezels were replaced with high quality replacements. The truck body was very straight and rust free before the restoration work and did not need much if any body work at all, just needed normal prep in front of laying down a high quality paint job. The original color of the truck was red with red interior but we decided to go with "Viper Blue" and black interior which really made the truck look awesome.
Chassis:
Truck has never been in an accident, which is why the body is so straight and the chassis is perfect. Just needed to be cleaned and repainted. This was done during the restoration process. Front suspension was rebuilt .

Ford readying dozen+ Mustang models for SEMA
Wed, 22 Oct 2014Ford is unsurprisingly bringing a herd of its new 2015 Mustang models to next month's SEMA show in Las Vegas. Over a dozen of them are arriving from top aftermarket outfits like Galpin Auto Sports, Steeda, Roush and others. The Blue Oval isn't just shining a spotlight on the V8 model, though. The new EcoBoost 2.3-liter version with 310 horsepower and 320 pound-feet of torque is also getting its time in the sun.
Among the shined-up ponies will be a showcar helping Galpin celebrate the Mustang's golden anniversary, with the car is covered in the precious metal. The black paint over the body has gold flecks in it, and the wheels, side sills, brake calipers and badges all match, as well. However, it takes more than something shiny to truly impress at SEMA, and Galpin's Mustang also packs a Whipple supercharger for the 5.0-liter V8, boosting the bottom line to 725 horsepower. Take that, Hellcat. There's even a window in the hood to look through, not unlike a Chevrolet Corvette ZR1. The coupe also wears new headlights with LED turn signals that activate in sequence, just like the taillights, and the interior features black-and-gold Recaro seats.
Also set for its SEMA debut is an MRT showcar that takes the EcoBoost Mustang for a gallop with its TKO treatment. The black and orange two-tone car has been designed to incorporate select road racing elements. Mechanical upgrades include 14-inch brake rotors with new ducts, a Vortech air-to-air intercooler and an Air Lift suspension. The Mustang also shows off the company's products for added style and performance including a hood with integrated heat extractors and a unique front splitter.
180,000 new vehicles are sitting, derailed by lack of transport trains
Wed, 21 May 2014If you're planning on buying a new car in the next month or so, you might want to pick from what's on the lot, because there could be a long wait for new vehicles from the factory. Locomotives continue to be in short supply in North America, and that's causing major delays for automakers trying to move assembled cars.
According to The Detroit News, there are about 180,000 new vehicles waiting to be transported by rail in North America at the moment. In a normal year, it would be about 69,000. The complications have been industry-wide. Toyota, General Motors, Honda and Ford all reported experiencing some delays, and Chrysler recently had hundreds of minivans sitting on the Detroit waterfront waiting to be shipped out.
The problem is twofold for automakers. First, the fracking boom in the Bakken oil field in the Plains and Canada is monopolizing many locomotives. Second, the long, harsh winter is still causing major delays in freight train travel. The bad weather forced trains to slow down and carry less weight, which caused a backup of goods to transport. The auto companies resorted to moving some vehicles by truck, which was a less efficient but necessary option.
Ford's J Mays feels vindicated by Fusion reception
Tue, 25 Sep 2012It's hard to think back now, but the same man overseeing the design of the 2013 Ford Fusion also presided over a rather lackluster period in Ford design, highlighted by vehicles like the Five Hundred and Freestyle. With the redesigned Fusion receiving high praise, J Mays tells Automotive News that he feels vindicated from criticisms suggesting he's not a daring enough designer.
When Mays took over as lead of design in 1997, he admits to having quite an ego ("My head would barely fit through the door some days. I've long since gotten over myself") and the workload to match. With the Blue Oval's portfolio full of premium brands like Aston Martin, Jaguar, Land Rover and Volvo at that point, along with the bread-and-butter Ford, Lincoln and Mercury models, Mays certainly had quite the challenge.
It was in the mid-2000s that Mays took over just the premium brands, and took on the new title of Chief Creative Officer. At the time, Mays endured some criticism for looking backwards to retro styling, rather than setting a new standard for American car design - criticism that Mays says he is free from with the all-new Fusion.
