Here is one of my personal favorites so far!! 1952 Ford F-6 fire truck that was in service in Tennessee and sold from the fire house to the individual I bought from in 2007. At this point the truck had a full restoration including all new interior, glass, weather stripping, seals , paint interior and exterior , all new chrome, etc. With only 6,112 original documented mileage this truck is in amazing condition with no rust ever. Original flathead v8 starts and runs on a dime every time with no cooling problems. Added electronic ignition, new water pumps, rebuilt radiator, and full tune up. Very well detailed under the hood. Since I have owned it I have installed a 1952 period correct 4 speed full synchronized transmission ( 4syn) for easier driving and also had the drive shaft rebuilt. It has a fully functional 2 speed split shift rear end. From there had the hard to find 19.5 wheels added to get rid of the old 2 piece wheels. I had a complete brake job done including wheel cylinders, shoes, lines, hoses, drums, hardware kit, e brake lining, power assist, master cylinder axle seals and more. This truck stops great! All the fluids have been drained and filled. The truck has been completely rewired front to back with dual batteries installed. Full 12 volt battery conversion with battery isolator installed for running all the lights and etc.. Everything works on this truck mechanically and electronically. I have over 10,000 dollars in invoices for this truck that the previous owner had done between 2008 and 2009. That does not even touch the amount I have done in the past year myself. The two biggest things needed are the passenger side vent window needs replaced and the top of the driver side fender needs to be touched up where the paint has come off. The front lights on the bumpers are in perfect working condition I just have not wired them up completely yet. All the lights, siren, spots, etc.. all have been rewired and work great. I have never tried to pump water but its all complete and looks like it would work. All the gauges have been replaced for the pump (see pictures). The other added bonus is all the antique fire accessories that will come with the truck which is an easy 2,000 dollars worth of extras. I have collected enough parts from 3 trucks and planned on adding some of the accessories to this one. There is way to many parts to try to list here!!! Also have some of the original wheels, complete rebuilt set of brakes if ever needed, some extra 19.5 tires. When I bought the truck I towed it on a 20 foot heavy duty equipment trailer. Everything that comes with the truck should fit in the truck for easy hauling. This truck will also be for sale locally. Please email with any questions or to go over all the extra accessories.

NHTSA closes probes on Jeep Grand Cherokee, Ford Freestar and Mercury Monterey
Wed, 09 Jan 2013The Detroit News reports the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration has officially closed its investigations into 2012 Jeep Grand Cherokee, 2004-2005 Ford Freestar and Mercury Monterey models. The separate probes found no issues that pose safety concerns. NHTSA began investigating certain Grand Cherokee SUVs over complaints that power steering hoses could detach during operation, thereby increasing the risk of a vehicle fire. Of the 24 reports of failure, none alleged smoke or fire in the engine bay, and Chrysler has since modified the power steering cooler assembly to reduce the likelihood of the failure.
Meanwhile, certain Ford Freestar and Mercury Monterey vehicles garnered a government probe after receiving complaints that the models were equipped with faulty scissor jacks. The agency had received six reports of the jacks failing or causing injuries, including one incident that resulted in a fatality. But NHTSA says the jack failure rate is similar to those found in other vehicles. In those six cases, the government agency found the jacks were being used for something other than changing a tire, and investigators could not determine whether the emergency brake was set or the rear tires were properly chocked.
Did a US automaker blow the whistle on Hyundai, Kia fuel economy issue?
Mon, 17 Dec 2012In all of the most hotly contested mainstream segments of the motoring universe, the difference of one mile per gallon averaged on a widow sticker can mean the difference between a sale and a walk-off - to say nothing of two or three mpg. So, when Hyundai and Kia were forced to reveal that many of their 40-mpg ratings were actually 38s and 37s, well, it made for big news.
It also, conceivably, made for a competitive disadvantage immediately, when the Korean automakers' products were being shopped versus the guys down the block. And it's that disadvantage that makes a recent story from Automotive News so juicy.
AN is reporting that Margo Oge, former head of the Environmental Protection Agency's Office of Transportation and Air Quality, got a tip in 2010 that Hyundai/Kia were "cheating" to get its impressive fuel economy numbers. The tip, said Oge (who retired from the EPA this past September), came from a senior vice president from a domestic automaker. The source was credible enough for Oge to launch an audit of the Hyundai figures, which ultimately lead to the debacle that we reported on a few months ago, and that the Korean company has been trying to bounce back from ever since.
Need for Speed movie casts Mustang in hero car role
Mon, 10 Jun 2013Dreamworks Studios, Electronic Arts and Ford Motor Company announced today that the Ford Mustang will play the lead hero car role in the upcoming Need for Speed movie, slated to hit theaters next February. Of course, the Mustang didn't audition for the role like we imagine the film's star, Aaron Paul of Breaking Bad fame, might have. Rather, Ford and Dreamworks struck a partnership deal that meant the Mustang could skip the casting couch. The deal will also see the film's universe populated with other Ford products (gratuitously so, we're guessing), and the automaker will also help the studio promote the video-game-turned-movie next year.
The hero car in question is a special one-off Mustang created by Ford that is making its debut at the E3 video game trade show as we speak. Powered by a supercharged V8 and apparently based on the Shelby GT500, the car's been modified with a widebody kit, 22-inch wheels, larger air intakes and twin hood nostrils. Ford also provided the film's production with an F-450 truck that will be called "The Beast" in the film's story, and a second Mustang to be used during filming as a camera car.
The Mustang's movie career is really taking off, with news of its Need For Speed casting closely following last week's release of the trailer for Getaway, a movie coming out in August that stars Ethan Hawke, Selena Gomez and another Shelby GT500. In addition to Aaron Paul and a modified Mustang, the Need For Speed movie also stars Michael Keaton (cop, we're guessing) and Dominic Cooper (villain, we're guessing), and is directed by Scott Waugh, who directed the Navy SEAL film Act of Valor in 2012.
