Selling my 1931 Ford Pickup. Truck was built during the mid 1990's but only been driven 8560 mile, at this time.

The Cab & hood are 1931. The fenders/ running boards are fiberglass. The truck bed is aftermarket with oak floor, fuel cell is mounted under the bed and gas filler neck is mounted in the floor. There is no rust on the vehicle and I would say the paint is in very good condition. There are no cracks in the fiberglass.

Engine is a 327 Chevrolet, 350 HP. Has a mild Crane cam and Mallory ignition. Motor carries great oil pressure and water temp runs between 180/200 and temp is controlled via an electric fan.

Transmission is a Turbo 400 with a cooler installed.

Gauges/ instruments are VDO, heritage gold cockpit night design. All gauges are working correctly. Because I disconnect the battery the clock does not display the correct time but it works and will keep accurate time.

Truck has Vintage Air mini space saver heat/cool. Just installed a new compressor and dryer but system needs a new evaporator. The evaporator is installed under the bed and has an electric fan mounted over it to provide air flow through the fins. At present the fan is not working and I am unable to get under the truck to work on it. Plus I don't use the A/C. The only other item that does not work is the windshield wiper. I've never driven truck in rain and don't know why or when it quit working. Only reason I checked it was to provide info in this listing.

Truck has AM/FM/Cd player installed and working. Not installed but included is a 7 inch GPS system and a backup camera. All the wiring is included

Equipped with Goodyear Eagle tires mounted on Center Line wheels. Front tires are 195/60R15 with 8/32 tread, rear tire are 275/60R15 with 8/32 tread, almost new tires. Truck has front disc brakes and drum brakes on rear.

Truck runs great with no know problems other than those stated, but due to the age of the truck there is no warranty. I would strongly suggest you go through Ebay motors and order an inspection. If you buy my truck I will reimburse you the cost of the inspection as long as the cost is reasonable, not $300.00 or $400.00 dollars Etc.

Lastly, if you are a very large person I would suggest you not buy this truck, the cab has not been altered and becomes quite cramped on long drives.

Any questions, please ask. I can assist with a shipper if needed.

I will accept Cash or certified check. And due to the nature of some people payment MUST clear my bank before the truck leaves my possession . Again there is no warranty or guarantee on this 83 year old truck.

Ford taken to task by gov't for Chicken Tax end-around

Mon, 23 Sep 2013

Ford is in a bit of a pickle for importing and selling Turkey-built Transit Connect cargo vans as passenger vehicles in the US, then converting them to commercial-vehicle specification stateside in an effort to bypass a 25-percent tax imposed on vehicles imported for commercial use. Automakers are required to pay a 2.5-percent tax on imported passenger vehicles.
The Blue Oval got into trouble for this in a January ruling in which U.S. Customs and Border Protection officials asked Ford to stop the practice of importing the Transit Connect vehicles with passenger seats, then removing and shredding them. Now Automotive News reports that Ford is appealing the ruling. The 25-percent "Chicken Tax," as the tariff is often called, is 50 years old and was enacted as a response to a German tariff on chickens. Like Ford, Chrysler bypasses the higher tariff, but it does so in a different manner. It partially disassembles Sprinter cargo vans before shipping them to the US, then rebuilds them at a plant in South Carolina.
But the ruling against Ford's strategy states that it "serves no manufacturing or commercial purpose" and is there to "manipulate the tariff schedule," Automotive News reports. As Ford's appeal goes through, it is importing the Transit Connect and paying the higher tax, hoping for a favorable outcome and planning to build the next-generation Transit Connect, which it plans to launch before the end of the year, in Spain.

How that awesome Mustang R/C car chase vid was made

Tue, 06 Aug 2013

We've reported on a few R/C car chase videos in the past. One in particular that stands out as a favorite is Zach King's "The Cliché RC Action Chase." It featured a pair of Ford Mustang coupes racing through a cardboard city, plowing into outdoor patios and busting through construction zones. It was wonderfully creative and fun to watch, yet we know there was more to its creation than a bunch of guys fooling around with a camera one afternoon.
Turns out we were right, as evidenced by this video produced by Ford that takes us behind the scenes of Zach's creation. The young filmmaker explains why he chose the Mustang to star in his video, as well as how the cardboard sets were created, what equipment they used for shooting and what it was like when his video went viral. Ford found the young filmmaker and produced the followup as part of its Mustang Countdown video series, which will see a new video about the Mustang culture released every week until the original muscle car's anniversary on April 17, 2014.
Want to make an RC chase video of your own? Yeah, we do too. Watch the behind-the-scenes video below (you can refresh yourself on the mini feature film, too) before you get started.

Ford acquires Livio to bolster connectivity biz

Thu, 26 Sep 2013

Ford Motor Company has announced the acquisition of Livio, a Ferndale, MI-based software development company best known for aftermarket in-car connectivity devices, but also as a supplier of technology for proprietary systems for automakers. Livio, co-founded by Sigal and Massimo Baldini, will be a wholly owned subsidiary of Ford Global Technologies.
"With the additional expertise Livio provides us, Ford intends to continue to lead the next generation of in-car connectivity with technology advancements that give consumers more options to access their devices on the go," said Paul Mascarenas, chief technical officer and vice president, Ford Research and Innovation, in a statement.
Ford is clearly trying to beef up its in-house tech capability around telematics and device connectivity. While the Blue Oval has been a leader in these areas with SYNC and MyFord Touch in terms of getting the systems into as many cars as possible, the execution of the applications have been criticized for glitches.
