I purchased VIN 99T456622 1936 COMMERCIAL in June, 2002 from a very old guy named Bob Stark in the San Fernando Valley. The town name is Receda which is a suburb of Los Angeles.

The truck frame, fenders, bed, glass, etc was in quite bad shape. The front right cab corner was caved in, but other than that the cab, doors, and hood sides looked pretty darn good. Almost every part on the old Ford pickups is available from an assortment of reproduction parts houses. One of the things other than the styling of the ‘35 and ‘36 Ford pickups that keeps the desire and price up is that the cabs, doors, and hood sides are not available from reproduction sources. The 1936 Ford pickup was the last production year for the “heart” shaped grill. 1935 was the last car. The parts house that I used was MAC’s Antique Auto Parts in Lockport, NY.

Bob told me that in 1933 the California Legislature passed the Central Valley Act which would bring water to the Central Valley and to the Bay Area. But in the midst of the Great Depression, revenue bonds were unmarketable so no funding could be found to begin construction of the Central Valley Project. The federal government took over the CVP as a public works project to provide jobs and its construction began in 1935. Bob said that the ‘36 pickup was part of the original fleet purchased for use to build the CVP. This bit of history, and that the pickup had never left the Central Valley in all of that time, and of course the final agreed upon price was the beginnings of the resto-rod that I would build in California style. Resto-rod is a term given to a street rod where the vehicle resembles the original stance. In this case, the body is as original. The solid steel wheels resemble the 1950’s street rod. The uncut body sits about 5 inches lower than the original pickup did with high wire wheels and linkage brakes.

The ’36 is used on a regular basis. It has never been used as a daily driver, but that is how it was built. The project was finished in 2003 and currently has 4,700 miles on. It comes with a photo build book, all of the build receipts, and a quality dust cover. The complete pickup weighs in at about 2,200 pounds. With 330 horse power that is less than 7 pounds per horse power.

The ’36 is nicely built. It is dependable and useful. It hauls ass. I am very proud of it. Circumstances force sale.

Ford cuts 950 Russian jobs on weak demand

Thu, 03 Apr 2014

The Russian auto market, in decline for the past year and further hit by the declining value of the ruble and recent sanctions over its annexation of Crimea, has forced Ford to cut jobs and shifts at two of its joint venture plants there. Around 700 of the 2,700 total workers who build the Russian-market Focus and Mondeo will be cut at the plant in Vsevolozhsk, near St. Petersburg as it drops to a single production shift. A second plant about 700 miles away in Yelabuga, in the Tartarstan region, will lose 250 workers. That plant builds seven vehicles, including the Explorer, Kuga and Edge.
The Moscow Times says Ford has been especially hit by the market decline, the overall market losing 5.5 percent in 2013 compared to the year before, but Ford sales dropping 18 percent in 2013 year-on-year. This year isn't going any better, with The Blue Oval posting a 21-percent decline through the first two months of 2014. That's why, though the Yelabuga plant builds the CUVs that customers are moving into, even it is facing cuts.
The job cuts in Vsevolozhsk come on top four-week plant shutdown planned so that the paint and body shops can go to one shift. In a statement, the company said, "Ford Sollers remains absolutely committed to the Russian market and is confident it has the right product plan, people and assets to deliver long-term profitable growth."

Focus STs for SEMA include Lotus and Gulf liveries, rally-fied police car

Tue, 22 Oct 2013

Ford, as we mentioned on Saturday, is pulling out all the stops for November's SEMA show, bringing 57 vehicles to the Las Vegas event. Ford will be staggering the release of its SEMA flotilla, though, so expect to hear a lot about the new additions to the fleet in the weeks to come. We already showed you the Fiesta, Fiesta ST and Mustang models that made up the first batch of SEMA cars. Next up, we have a quartet of modded Focus STs joining Ford's SEMA roster.
Our first Focus ST (pictured above) sports the legendary livery of Gulf Racing. The orange-on-blue scheme, which Ford helped make famous at the 24 Hours of Le Mans, has been updated for 2013, with a more vibrant blue. This ST was built by Universal Technical Institute, while the exterior was done by Neil Tjin of Tjin Edition. Side exhausts, a Vortech supercharger and a Motiv Concepts high-flow cat allow the ST to breathe a bit easier, while Forgestar wheels contrast well with the iconic paint scheme.
Focus ST number two has been done-up by PM Lifestyle and is inspired by "Southern California car culture." Sporting a sleek, pale blue paint job, there's also no shortage of carbon fiber on the car's exterior. The 2.0-liter, turbocharged, four-cylinder engine has been massaged by the likes of Banks Power, COBB Tuning and Ford Racing, while the suspension is wearing a shiny, new set of coilovers and sway bars. The meaty brakes, tucked behind 19-inch, Rotiform wheels, come from Wilwood, while the cabin has been fitted with a pair of Sparco Chrono seats and five-point, Schroth harnesses.

Today's the day, Ford fans. Production has officially commenced on the sixth-generation 2015 Mustang at the company's Flat Rock, MI factory. As production ramps up, sales should kick off in the coming months.
The production news isn't just a bit deal for American fans. With the new Mustang getting a bespoke right-hand-drive variant, the pony car's worldwide availability has swollen to include 120 different countries, including its home nation.
"Mustang is and will continue to be an automotive icon," Joe Hinrichs, Ford's president of the Americas, said in a statement. "Expanding its availability globally affords our customers around the world the opportunity to have a true firsthand Mustang experience - one unlike any other."
