1951 Ford F1 with 1957 Chevy 283 Powerpack

This truck started out life as a red Atlanta GA built V8 half ton 5 star extra cab pickup. At some point in time it was been converted to 12 VDC, repainted red, interior painted black, flathead pulled and replaced with a 283 and GM 3 speed manual transmission. Sometime after that it was parked and has remained parked for years.

The engine carries casting number 3731548 and the production code is “FI0I0FC”; I decode this as 1957 Chevy 283 Powerpack (220 HP) built at Flint on Oct 10 and originally hooked to a powerglide. I guess this has the special bushing to let the manual trans main drive gear engage. Note triangle over rectangle on heads, squarebore Carter carb, rams horns manifolds, etc. It is fitted to the truck with a Hurst adapter to use the Ford donut mounts on the frame in the original location. Perfect engine for your Chevy restoration, other rat rod, or old school Ford hot-rod going for the late 50s/early 60s look.

The truck is soft around all edges with obvious rust in fenders, floor, bed, hood, running boards, doors, etc., is missing parts, and has a few left over “accessory” holes here and there for various antennas, hood ornaments, and etc. Frame appears solid and the stainless around the windshield is nice. I do have the two kick panels for the doors. If you want to make a fenderless rat rod this would be a good foundation because the cab and bed have a pretty good patina look to them. Engine is stuck but has good looking oil and still had anti-freeze when I pulled the heater out. Hasn’t been turned over in so long the fan belt rotted out the pulleys from moisture. The rear brakes were stuck so I had to torch the drums off; I saved all the other hardware. The truck now rolls freely and steers; tires hold air.

I can’t ship it but I can help load it on your trailer. $100 deposit due via Paypal within 3 days of auction end. Balance due in cash at time of pickup. Do not pay for whole truck via Papal. I can hold it for up to three weeks after auction ends. No international bidders. No bids with less than 10 feedback without contacting me first. Modest reserve in line with what similar trucks have been selling for. Truck is also for sale locally so I reserve the right to end the auction early. No warranties or any other guarantee. There is no title; this will be sold on a bill of sale only. Georgia does not title vehicles older than 1986. Thanks for looking, Jason; four 7 eight two three 3 three 2 nine 2.

2015 Ford Mustang option prices gallop onto the web

Tue, 22 Apr 2014

The 2015 Ford Mustang is one of the most anticipated cars of the year, despite the fact that production hasn't yet begun. What's a pony car fan to do? It turns out that Ford already has pricing and options information about the vehicle in its dealer ordering system. A few enterprising folks have snapped some pictures from it and have posted them online. You might not be able to drive your car yet, but you can at least see what it might cost.
At the moment, Ford appears to be splitting the Mustang into five models - 3.7-liter V6, 2.3-liter EcoBoost, GT with the 5.0-liter V8, 50th Anniversary and SVT. There are 10 available paint colors, 2 of which require an extra outlay. Triple Yellow is $495, and Ruby Red Tint is $395. Regardless of model, navigation goes for $795, and reverse parking assist is $295.
For both the EcoBoost and GT, the six-speed automatic tacks an extra $1,195 to the sticker, and adaptive cruise control is the same price. The GT also has a limited-slip 3.55 rear end for $395 and a GT Performance package for $2,495. Recaro leather seats add an extra $1,595. For the EcoBoost, there's something called EcoBoost Performance package for $1,995. The system doesn't say what the packages include.

Cheap gas has Ford investors nervous over 2015 F-150

Wed, Dec 17 2014

Gasoline in the US continues its weeks-long descent with prices down about 13 cents a gallon over last week to $2.544, which is lower by around 69 cents/gallon from this time last year, according to the US Energy Information Administration. Many drivers are welcoming the lower bills at the gas station as a fantastic holiday gift, but Ford investors are somewhat spooked over the potential sales implications for the 2015 F-150. Market analyst Rod Lache of Deutsche Bank recently downgraded Ford's stock from a buy to hold, according to TheDetroitBureau.com, and his report to investors may have played a part in a drop in the company's share price. Lache praised the truck's powertrain and lightweight technology, but wrote, "We question whether consumers will pay the price for this content with $2-$3 gas," in his report, according to the website. Whether buyers actually turn away from the F-150 is mostly speculative at this point because it only recently began production. With around 700 pounds of weight loss thanks in parts to its new aluminum parts, the latest Ford pickup offers up to 26 miles per gallon on the highway, plus segment-best payload and towing ratings. Prices are up somewhat in part to pay for additional standard features, though. Still, any further dip in Ford's stock is bad news this year. According to TheDetroitBureau.com, the company's shares are down about 7.5 percent this year. On December 15, the price fell to $14.28, the lowest since November 10. Related Video:

Amazon looking to bring Kindle to your next car?

Mon, 25 Feb 2013

Maybe so. The online retailer and digital media monolith recently announced the Amazon Cloud Player, an application for Ford Sync that allows users to stream media from their Amazon Cloud account directly to a Ford vehicle. This foray into automotive technology got the minds at Gigaom.com thinking about what could be next for Amazon. As Kevin Fitchard writes, the logical step is to make audio versions of your Kindle library selections available in your car. As he points out, Amazon has already laid the groundwork for such a move.
Amazon pulled the sheets back on Whispersync for Voice last year. The tech pairs ebooks with an Audible book for a small extra fee, allowing users to either read along with a narrator or switch between audio and text versions on command. Fitchard says it wouldn't be some great leap to apply the same principles to a car, where voice recognition software would allow users to pause or select chapters without ever taking their eyes off of the road.
It all sounds just fine to us, but Amazon hasn't said a thing about such a move. Still, we wouldn't be surprised to see the company come down this road in the near future just the same.
