This is a 1961 Ford Econoline pickup truck I bought in Arizona and it is still in Arizona and it is now and always has been a rust free truck. I took some pictures of the outside edge of the box and you can see all the original spot welds are still there also I took pictures of the bottom of the truck and as you can see there is no rust on the bottom of the truck. Look closely at the floor on the inside of the truck and you can see there is no rust repair at all just nice cleanly painted floors with no repairs.

     I own Kevins Klassic Cars in Cannon Falls Mn and you can look us up on U tube and look at our 200K plus cars going through Barrett-Jackson in Scottsdale Arizona. The same guys painted this truck that does those cars (My shop employees) Obviously we didn't put a 30K paint job on this car but they certainly know what they are doing and this is a very nice paint job. The truck has been sitting for about 18 months so there is a small scratch in the passenger fender, there are two scratches in the front bumper and there is a small spider crack about the size of a silver dollar in the tail gate. The paint job is very nice but not perfect. I would say it is a 8 out of 10 and extremely respectable for this price range of trunk.

     The bottom of the box was professionally sprayed with bed liner and the back of the tail gate was sprayed with bed liner. We had them blend in the color of the truck with their product so it would all look the same. This was not done to hide anything as you can see the sides of the bed and the front of the bed have no bed liner on them. But I thought I would use the truck from time to time so I had that put in to save on the scratches. It has worked perfect because there are no scratches at all on the floor.(It might be because I haven't used it but who can say)

     The wheels, trim rings and the hub caps are all from a 69 Mustang. We media blasted the wheels and painted them all around and the wheels look excellent. The tires are brand new radial tires size 14 inch and they still have the nubs on them and the one still has the original sticker on it. The wheels and tires are excellent they add a lot to the truck. The front windshield is brand new and the gasket for the windshield is brand new, the corner windows are used and are not perfect but you cant buy them new but the gaskets they are sitting in are new. I have both the rear window and the side glass and you can see it in the pictures of the parts that still need to be put on.

     We rebuilt the wheel cylinders on the front wheels and got the brakes to work however this is only good for short distances and loading and unloading the truck the back wheels will still need to be done. The engine runs but as of right now we are using a gallon can for the gas source because the gas tank either needs replaced or cleaned out (Didn't try it but only guessing it needs cleaned out since it has sat in the desert state of Arizona) The carb on the trunk has been rebuilt and it starts very easily. We also put on a new exhaust manifold gasket and while we had that off we replaced the freeze plugs behind there just in case there was a problem. We didn't try the charging system so we don't know if the generator works or not. The water pump is leaking but for a car sitting around that is very common and a fairly easy fix. The truck can be started, driven and the brakes work, so if you send a company out to pick the truck up they can start it and load it no problem and we are glad to help.

     The bottom of the seats, the dog house, the battery box and pretty much so everything inside has been media blasted and painted as you can see from the pictures. The seat frames themselves will need to be media blasted and painted then have them recovered. I had a quote to have the foam put on and the seat covers installed for 500 dollars but I never got around to doing it. You will still need to buy door gaskets and felts and gaskets for the side windows. The wing windows I have both seals front and back for the wing windows on both sides. I also have new front turn signal lenses and rear tail light lenses they will be here by the time you pick up the truck.

     A lot of the work has been done on this truck all the paint and body work is done and ready to go. Mostly what needs to be done at this point is the seats and headliner on the interior, the rest of the dash needs to be put back together and the truck will need a battery we will supply a battery just to start the truck and load it but there is no battery in the battery box. Everything to this point has been done professionally and not half way.

     If you have any questions feel free to give me a call or you can come out and look at the truck. The truck is at a friends house of mine because he had a lift so I could take the pictures on the bottom. Thanks Kevin Manley. 612-275-8722 I  have a clear Arizona title that comes with the truck. I have an extremely low starting price about 1/4 of what I have into the truck and then there is no reserve. Obviously I am hoping for a lot more then that but only the bidders will determine that.

Watch Ford build a Mustang atop Burj Khalifa, world's tallest building

Sun, Nov 23 2014

In 1965, a Ford Mustang Convertible proudly went on display at the top of the Empire State Building, the world's tallest building at the time. Earlier this year, the Blue Oval recreated the stunt by bringing the latest droptop 'Stang to the sky-high structure. Unfortunately, while still iconic, the New York skyscraper has lost the world title. Of course, an automaker can't let something like that get in the way of a good publicity stunt. For the inauguration of the Ford business unit in the Middle East and Africa, the brand gave the 2015 Mustang Convertible an even bigger building to climb – the biggest in fact. The droptop made its way to the 112th floor of the Burj Khalifa, the world's tallest building. To put a final topper on the whole event, executive chairman Bill Ford was the one to place the car's famous badge, making it complete. Like with the Empire State Building spectacle, getting the Mustang to the top wasn't as simple as just driving it off the elevator. Check out the video above to see how it was done, and scroll down to read Ford's press release about the event. NEW MUSTANG UNVEILED ON WORLD'S TALLEST BUILDING, BURJ KHALIFA Bill Ford helps inaugurate Ford's latest business unit, Middle East and Africa, an exciting, vibrant region that represents the final frontier for growth in the auto industry Ford pledged to launch 25 vehicles in region by 2016, including the all-new Mustang debuting next year Industry sales in Middle East & Africa are expected to grow 40 per cent to 5.5 million vehicles by 2020 Dubai, U.A.E., Nov. 20, 2014 – Ford Motor Company underscored its growing ambitions in the Middle East and Africa, with the dramatic introduction of the all-new Mustang on Dubai's Burj Khalifa, the world's tallest building. Ford Executive Chairman Bill Ford capped the live-action event by delivering the iconic pony badge to the 2015 yellow Mustang on the 112th floor of the skyscraper. The event was viewed live around the world on YouTube as well as by approximately 10,000 fans gathered in the Dubai Downtown area, overlooking the Dubai Fountain and Burj Khalifa. (To see a replay, click on this link.) "Today we planted the Ford flag in the Middle East & Africa, an exciting, vibrant region that represents the final frontier for growth in the auto industry," Bill Ford said.

Chevy Silverado frame twist test a marketing victory versus Ford

Thu, 16 Oct 2014

The pickup market is so competitive that all three major American makers are constantly trying to find a way to prove their product is the best. The new 2015 Ford F-150 is grabbing headlines at the moment by winning awards and posting segment best numbers. But in a new video, Chevrolet is taking aim squarely at the 2015 F-250 Super Duty in a battle of heavy-duty truck supremacy against the 2015 Chevy Silverado 2500HD... well, in a single metric anyway.
The big numbers from pickups often come down to payload, towing rating and fuel economy, but for this test, Chevy and Howie Long are challenging the torsional rigidity of the trucks' frames, specifically which one flexes less. Long plays the everyman here having the Chevy engineer explain what's going on in the tests. Unsurprisingly for a video on Chevy's official YouTube page, the 2500HD wins out by a good margin. The company also reports that similar results as shown here have been certified in third-party testing.
Check out the video to see the full test. While this might seem like a marketing win for Chevy, Ford isn't immune to it, either. In 2009, the Blue Oval uploaded a similar video comparing the flex under 225 pounds of weight from the bare frames of the F-150, Chevy Silverado, Dodge Ram (as it was still called at the time) and the Toyota Tundra. The results fell in the Blue Oval's favor, as you can see here.

America was the unexpected theme at the 2017 Detroit Auto Show thanks to Trump

Wed, Jan 11 2017

President-elect Donald Trump was not in attendance at this year's Detroit Auto Show, but it sure seemed like he was the target audience for many of the press conferences and announcements surrounding the event. Several manufacturers chose to play up existing and future commitments to the US in general and American jobs specifically in their presentations to the press, and we're pretty sure that has everything to do with Trump's recent targeting of automakers on Twitter. To us, it seemed automakers were going on the offensive to try and preempt any future tweet-shaming for investing in auto manufacturing anywhere but the US. The pro-America sentiment started the week prior to the auto show, with Ford announcing that it would build several future electrified vehicles at its Flat Rock Assembly Plant in Michigan and also cancel a $1.6 billion factory planned for Mexico. Ford announced the two items on the same day, but the reality is that they likely have no relation to each other; the Mexican plant is being skipped because the company doesn't need the extra capacity to build the Ford Focus right now. Trump was still happy to share the news on Twitter. Then, on Sunday, FCA announced it would invest $1 billion in manufacturing plants in Ohio and Michigan to produce the new Jeep Wagoneer, Grand Wagoneer, and Wrangler-based pickup. It's not as though those potential new jobs were on their way out of the US, necessarily, but FCA took the opportunity to mention that plant upgrades at the Warren Truck Plant would allow the company to build Ram heavy duty trucks, which are currently assembled in Mexico, there. CEO Sergio Marchionne confirmed that Trump and his proposed tariffs had nothing to do with the decision. We certainly believe that, but we also have to believe that the timing of the release, positive outcome for America, and zero gain for Mexico were all orchestrated. Again, Trump sent out a victory tweet as if this had been his doing. Ford then used its press conference at the show on Monday to reiterate the plans for Flat Rock and also confirm that the Ford Bronco and Ranger nameplates will be returning to the US market, and that both will be built at a plant in Michigan. Announcements of manufacturing locations are usually aimed at the UAW, which certainly has a stake in these things, but again this one was broadcast to the auto show crowd in general.
