1963 Ford Econoline 5 Window Pickup V8 , Disc Brakes, Auto, 9" Rear Restored on 2040-cars
Monroe, Connecticut, United States
|
For your consideration, 1963 Ford Econoline 5 Window V8 / auto conversion hot rod. A clean and well engineered conversion using a mid 70's 302 V8 and C4 auto transmission. The truck even uses original on the tree shift lever
to actuate auto linkage. The truck looks pretty close to stock but with 1965 Mustang Seats and American Racing torque thrust 15" wheels. The side pipes and V8 emblems along with headers let you know a V8 lurks underneath. This truck has been driven although it has a show quality 10k paint job, there are some chip touchups and the Rhino lined bed has a few chips, but again this truck drives, runs and looks amazing. I am an auto appraiser, love cars and this truck has been a 4 year joy to restore and drive. The truck came from Washington State, then Montana, then to CT where I restored. It has the Washington St title and I will provide a Connecticut Bill Of Sale as we do not issue titles on vintage vehicles. Keep in mind, this truck is 51 years old and has rattles, squeaks and drives like an old truck, it is NOT a Lexus. Probably better to summarize: Reason For Sale: I just don't drive it enough and with 2 kids, I am looking for a 4 seat type of toy :) The Good and Highlights - V8 (Ford 302) conversion with Chevy doghouse used - new Edelbrock manifold and carb - Hedman custom headers and sidepipes - Automatic c4 transmission - Ford 9" rear end - all original metal - Optima battery - NO RUST, no dents - Chassis was coated with epoxy paint and is CLEAN - American Racing Torque Thrust II wheels, tires are 60% - FRONT disc brakes - this is great for the truck to make it more easily and safely drive-able - 10k show paint job with Rhino lined bed - Aftermarket stereo with iPhone hookup - sounds great - ENTIRE truck restored, new handles, new visors, dash knobs - Interior was dynomatted, insulated, carpeted with rubber mats- MINT - Custom interior accents - 1965 Mustang seats - Tuck and Roll roof and interior panels - Simpson lap belts (racing latch) - All glass, trim, emblems are new or excellent - bobbed off fenders and powder coated grill - All parts new in last 3 years What the truck Needs - Needs temperature gauge hooked up - The heater is plumbed open to allow better cooling, so no heat, but never drove in winter or cold - Fuel gauge is intermittent - Few chips / scratches touch ups - Engine compartment needs detailing - a cool new owner Please review the video below and feel free to contact me with questions.

Europe's most-wanted classic car is... the Ford Mustang?
Sat, 28 Sep 2013Over the span of its 49 years and five generations, the Ford Mustang has held a special place in the hearts of automotive enthusiasts in the US, but, as it turns out, this car is also very popular amongst European car lovers. Earlier this summer, AutoScout24 - a new and used car shopping site in Europe - polled around 75,000 European "car lovers" (not sure how they vetted the respondents) to see which cars were the most popular, and the Mustang came out on top over iconic European classics like the BMW M1 and Volkswagen Beetle.
In the whole of Europe, 37 percent of those polled dream of owning a Mustang, but that number jumps in individual countries like Austria (42 percent) and Spain (41 percent). Rounding out the top five popular classics in Europe are the Mini and Citroën 2CV. Find out which cars made up the rest of the top 10 in the press release posted below.
Lincoln 'not true luxury' yet, says Ford design chief
Wed, 28 Aug 2013Lincoln is "not true luxury," according to Ford's design boss, J Mays. His statements come from a story in The Detroit News that saw candid language on the issues facing Ford's troubled premium brand. Notably, there's a need for a strong character, with Mays saying, "Every brand needs to have a DNA and a unique selling point and things in the vehicle that make you think, 'That's that particular brand.'"
With a range of rebadged Fords, it's not hard to see why that DNA is missing. Mays hinted that a full recovery for Lincoln will be a ten-year process, that's been kicked off with the MKZ sedan. While that car is still largely a Ford Fusion under its extremely pretty wrapper, it's the first Lincoln in some time to inject its own unique take both through the exterior styling and through interior features, such as the vertical, pushbutton gear selection.
Some analysts weren't so certain about Mays' 10-year estimate. Jim Hall of 2953 Analytics thinks it'll be more like 30 years before Lincoln can show a true return to form. The issue, as Hall explains it, is that, "luxury has a degree of exclusivity," that Lincoln just doesn't have. Michelle Krebs from Edmunds adds, "it's definitely a wanna-be luxury brand," comparing the troubled American brand with Infiniti and Acura, two other brands that have struggled to find their place in the luxury market.
Bill Ford wins National Pond Hockey Championship with employees
Tue, 11 Feb 2014Who says executives aren't people? This past weekend, Bill Ford, executive chairman of Ford Motor Company, and a group of employees trekked up to Eagle River, WI for a few games of pond hockey. Team Ford took part in the 2014 Labatt Blue/USA Pond Hockey Championship, capturing its fifth title in the 50+ Tier 1 Division.
"It feels great to win," Ford, who plays on the team alongside other Ford employees, told the USA Hockey website. "It was fun to play [River Valley Pioneers] because they're great guys and we play them every year. We finally beat them, which we were due. It was a very clean game, a tough game."
The FoMoCo team managed to score seven goals to River Valley's two, and went undefeated in all five of its games during the tourney. Take a look below for the official press release on Team Ford's win.
