1951 Ford F-1 Five Star Extra Cab package. This 51927 mile scarce Five Star Extra cab package has been given the attention it deserves. It has been treated to a complete ground up no expense spared restoration. It took a year and a half to bring it back better than the day it hit the showroom floor. Attention to detail is what sets this truck apart and you will not be disappointed! This truck sat in heated storage for 20 plus years and it shows in that the body was incredibly rust free- see photos/video. The low mileage was evident when it came apart in the amount of original untouched/original equipment parts. Every bit of this truck was stripped down and brought back up with attention to original factory details. The body was completely stripped and has been restored to its original color as well as Five Star Extra Cab package interior colors. A accent color tweak really sets off this original Meadow Green color as well as setting it apart from the rest. The 239 CID flathead V-8 was completely gone through, fresh valve job and guides and magnafluxed with a clean bill of health. The 3 speed transmission and rear axle have been freshened up and treated to new seals as well as a new clutch. We wanted to make sure this truck lasts well beyond our days and the inside of cab and underside of fenders were treated with bedliner as well as a full powdercoat treatment to the frame. All chrome and stainless has been restored. fresh glass all around. The Five Star Extra Cab package included a good many things a normal Five Star Cab would not have....stainless windshield trim, dual visors, upgraded interior trim, driver and passenger locks, dual horns, dome light with door switches, upgraded heater, full door and kick panels....the list goes on and was ordered complete less the radio. 6 volt electrical system completely gone through and restored with brand new cloth wiring throughout with an addition of turn signals/4 way flashers. Generator refurbished, regulator replaced and lead acid battery replaced with 6v Optima to ensure battery tray stays good as new. The bed is breathtaking...oak hardwood replaced and treated. Original hard to find bumpers restored. The original 16" wheels were powder coated and wrapped BFGoodrich wide white rubber with fresh tubes as well as new trim rings/caps. The list goes on and a collector will truly appreciate the attention to detail as well as the fit and finish of this truck. Restoration completely documented including a video which can be seen here... http://youtu.be/-j8nYXEcfKU . Asking $40k

Ford Escort testing, may be bound for Europe

Tue, 01 Apr 2014

There has been little news about Ford's China-focused Escort concept since debuting at last year's Shanghai Motor Show, but the no-frills sedan has shown its camouflaged face again during cold weather testing in Northern Sweden. While far from a guarantee, the test location might hint that the Blue Oval plans to market the car outside of Asia.
The Escort's black robe and zebra paint make it hard to tell if anything specific has changed about the design, but the shape of the sedan looks close to what was shown in Shanghai. Under the disguise, you can still make out the hexagonal front grille from the concept. When Ford announced the model, the company said that the design wasn't supposed to be "arrogant or pretentious," and it certainly achieved that. The engine range is still a mystery, but it seems safe to expect small, economy-focused powertrains.
A report from last year indicated that Ford may be considering broadening the new Escort beyond Asia and possibly even selling it in Europe. The fact that the company brought it to Sweden for testing could bolster that argument. A release date hasn't been set yet, but the automaker has promised 15 new products for China by 2015. The basic sedan could be on the road soon.

Ford confirms Everest SUV production for China

Sat, 19 Apr 2014

According to Ford, the Chinese SUV segment grew by 49 percent in 2013, and the Blue Oval held a 4.5 percent market share. At the 2014 Beijing Motor Show, Ford is showing the Everest SUV that, while just a concept for now, will go into production in the near future.
The Everest is a big, brawny seven-seat SUV that mixes solid, chiseled styling and contemporary Ford design cues. Up front there is an angular version of the trapezoidal grille and sharp, wraparound headlights. The beltline rises in the rear to make the back appear higher than the front. The rear seems just as chiseled, with the taillights resting in jagged scallops. There is no doubt that this concept means to look rugged, and ready for rough roads - the whole thing looks pretty great.
The truck was penned by Ford's Asia Pacific design and engineering team in Australia, and it was first shown in Sydney last year. Ford's JMC joint venture will build the truck for the Chinese market, and it will be sold at Ford dealers there. The Blue Oval isn't hinting at what powers the production version yet, but it reportedly shares some components with the foreign-market Ranger.

Meet Shelby Mustang GT500 Miller, Iowa's latest hatchet-wielding criminal

Fri, Jul 11 2014

Well, we've found the long-lost cousin of yesterday's Bentley-tattooed criminal from Florida. This is Shelby Mustang GT500 Miller. No, seriously. While his name seems just like the sort of thing we'd expect the Sunshine State to produce, he actually hails from Iowa. Despite coming from the Hawkeye State, Miller was arrested for a decidedly Floridian offense – getting in a bar fight and then returning with a hatchet. The only way this story could be more Florida is if meth, a manatee or bath salts were involved. The fight, which was at the Cheap Seats Sports Bar, started off typically enough, with a verbal argument in the parking lot (please, please let his nemesis be named "Chevrolet Camaro Z/28 Smith"). This, naturally, attracted passing police officers. Things were broken up and some friends took Miller to his home, which was apparently just behind the bar. That's when he returned with the hatchet tucked under his shirt. Miller promptly proceeded to take out the implement of destruction in the bar's bathroom and... forget about it entirely. Fortunately, the police hadn't left the area yet. Not surprisingly, Miller was arrested for a parole violation, as well as public intoxication and going armed with intent. Still, cool name, bro.
