Trusty farm truck for sale: This pickup belonged to an engine builder in Grass Valley California. His personal rig. He rebuilt the engine/transmission/clutch and then fell ill which forced sale to the old fellow I purchased it from in Live Oak California. He rebuilt the brakes/steering/kingpins and installed a new Drake tank as well as went through the cooling system. He owned it "Since the sixties", never registered it and only drove it around on his property. I have owned it for three years and used it to move plants and material around at my nursery. I sneak it out on the road from time to time but have driven it perhaps two hundred miles. I only keep a gallon or two of fuel in it so its fresh. Exterior is in primer and interior is original black. I replaced the grill with new Drake unit and replaced all fluids and installed a new coil. It runs fantastic. Drives great. Breaks work perfect. Transmission and Clutch shift buttery smooth and solid.  The body has usual dings and dents but is solid and shows little but surface rust. The floor has been replaced. Hood is from a '41 and has louvers punched. Seat has been redone in green. Bed floor has been removed and replaced with plywood. Tailgate hinges are rusty. Rust at drivers door bottom and a little on passenger as well.Top rust is only thin surface.  It is wired to run but that's it. Wood under cab needs replacing to correct stance. Rear bumper is not original. Hood latch is not functional. Lever shocks switched out at some point. I do not know about condition of gauges or lights. Included with sale is brand new set of glass for doors and windshield. Also new set of tail lights. Also included is correct vintage hood latch for forty including "V8" emblems. The truck always starts and runs perfect. It has been my most reliable piece of equipment since I acquired it. I have no paperwork to prove the rebuild, just what I was told by previous owner and the way it runs.  I do not have title only Bill of Sale.

Old vs. new debate gets new life with $25,000 Fiesta ST vs. E46 M3 showdown

Fri, 10 Jan 2014

You know who you are. There's probably a few of you reading; the ones that say, "Why would I spend $27,000 on a new Mazda MX-5 when I could get a used Chevrolet Corvette with more power." Yes, we're talking to you, used car proponents. While it is a fair argument, it's not like used cars don't come with drawbacks of their own, though.
In an attempt to put this new-versus-used argument to bed once and for all, Matt Farah of the The Smoking Tire has picked up a pair of $25,000 cars - a used, but lightly modified, 2003 BMW M3 and a 2013 Ford Fiesta ST. Naturally, there's a comparison.
Farah, as he's wont to do, does get into the nitty gritty of what each car is like to drive, and discusses the merits of used and new-car shopping. But as he rightly points out while testing the M3, "So, it is a good car. But like any used car, it really does depend on the individual car."

Nelson Piquet and Nigel Mansell revisit bitter F1 rivalry in... Ford Fusion campaign?

Wed, 23 Jan 2013

Formula One World Champions Nelson Piquet and Nigel Mansell haven't been on good terms since the 1986 season, when Piquet joined Mansell at the Williams team and Piquet spent the year privately fuming about not being granted the status of number one driver. Things only got worse from there - even though Piquet won the title the following year with Williams, still partnered with Mansell, the fuming was a lot less private.
They're back together after a 25-year silence, in the city of Porto Alegre, Brazil to drive the new Ford Fusion. Called "Fusion Grand Prix," both men get the new Ford sedan, prepped to their liking - but still street legal, we assume - for a race to decide... well, who is faster behind the wheel of a Fusion.
There will be four episodes, with the first two having already aired. The third episode comes on January 29 and the race happens February 5. You'll find two video episodes and a press release below, but note - because it's a campaign for Ford Brazil, Piquet's dialogue in the vids isn't translated, so hit the Closed Captioning button to hear his side of the smack talking.

Mulally to stay at Ford through end of 2014 at least

Fri, 06 Dec 2013

Alan Mulally isn't going anywhere... at least not just yet. The CEO who helped turn around Ford Motor Company has been linked to the top job at tech behemoth Microsoft, leading to a flurry of rumors about potential successors. Those rumors, though, may have just been put to rest - at least for a little while.
Speaking to Edsel Ford II (great-grandson of company founder Henry Ford) at the unveiling of the new Mustang, Automotive News Europe confirmed that Mulally would stick around until the end of next year. "Alan is staying through the end of 2014 and that's all I know," said Ford. "Frankly, he has told us that his plan is to stay with Ford through the end of 2014."
Presuming that Edsel Ford is correct and that Microsoft isn't so hot on Mulally that it saves the position for him, it seems increasingly likely that the 68-year-old exec is more interested in continuing to work in Dearborn rather than in Redmond.
