W0w !! Fantastic 1963 Econoline Pickup " The Lowliner" V8 Automatic Custom. on 2040-cars
Portland, Oregon, United States
WOW !! The LowLiner is up for sale ! After 6 years of fabrication I am offering my 1963 Econoline pickup for sale on Ebay. It is fully restored. The truck is Painted in basecoat/clearcoat ,tropical turqoise blue. It has had many mild custom tricks performed on it . The number one thing is the INTERNET LEGEND " Tumble Down Tailgate" with Ranger latch. It took 37 hours to fabricate this notorious Gate. The truck also has a 2 1/2 inch lower front pan with beedrolled accent line, 4 inch side skirting welded into the stock lower side rail so it appears stock Plus a 1 1/2"rear apron extension. On the box rail the stake pockets have been removed and inner box sides have been scheared,beedrolled and installed, also new steel tubs have been installed with a new floor. The whole thing was then covered in charcoal marine carpet trimmed in dark grey. The floor carpet and pad is removable if you should want to haul something in the box. Inside the cab the interior walls and roof were covered in beedrolled steel panels and the painted basecoat/clearcoat along with the doors and dash. heavy metalflake scallops and white stripping were then overlayed onto the dash and insturment panel. The steering wheel was nicely restored, the seats reupholstered, plus full carpet and pad were layed down. The doors and windows have all new seals,wiskers and anti rattle kits. To top the interior off, I have fabricated a shifting pod for the mustang C4 shifter and cable. For those of you who don't know these econoline pickups, They were BARE BONES units. They were all small 6 cyl engined trucks with 3 speed manual transmissions. They had little or no interior panels or carpet. This truck didn't even have a glove box door or a passenger side sunvisor. There were no inner box sides or rear bumpers. You got very little for very little money,that was the idea. The new powertrain is strong,fresh, and modern. It features a high performance 302 V8 Ford with new Demon carb,Edelbrock intake, and a Crane cam, all the hp parts were selected to give good reliable (Street ) performance . It is a strong reliable and trouble free ride ! I can drive it anywhere and I actually have a few thousand miles on the truck. The rest of the drive train includes a flipped and dropped front axle, a flipped and narrowed 9 "inch ford rearend and C'd rear frame rails. the safety issues have been addressed with a complete brake job, new shocks, new driveshaft Plus the new special edition American racing wheels 16"front and 17" rear Torque thrust wheels, shod in high end BF GoodRich tires. This is indeed a one of a kind truck. It has never been wrecked, has no rust history and was garaged the majority of it's life. I am the third owner of the truck. All the work is done in (STEEL) , there is no plastic,or fiberglass involved in the modification. The complete artistic rendering was done to produce a Long, Low and smooth flowing design that looks like it's factory made. I think I have reached my goal, and now it's for sale to you. Buy it now for $27,500 Thanks everyone for the interest, and good luck to all bidders. Brian

Ford looks to protect logo from Toronto mayor followers
Fri, 15 Nov 2013One is a member of the Detroit Three and the maker of the Mustang, Fusion, Explorer and F-150. The other is an admitted loudmouthed, drunk-driving, crack-smoking mayor in Canada. Unfortunately for one, it shares its name with the other. Yes, Ford Motor Company is going to great lengths to keep its iconic Blue Oval logo from being appropriated by supporters of besieged Toronto mayor Rob Ford.
At a United Way event earlier this week, some of Mayor Ford's fans showed up with shirts that featured the automaker's logo with the words "Ford Nation," on them. Naturally, Mayor Ford signed them. FoMoCo was quick to issue an unhappy statement:
"Ford did not grant permission for use of its logo. We view it as an unauthorized use of our trademark and have asked it to be stopped," spokesperson Jay Cooney said. There was also a statement from Ford of Canada's Twitter account after a user alerted the company:
Ford Mondeo classes up with premium Vignale trim
Wed, 11 Sep 2013Back in the day, Vignale was a carrozzeria of the highest order, alongside the likes of Pininfarina, Bertone and Zagato. But like Giugiaro-ItalDesign and Ghia, it has since been subsumed into a larger auto group. Ford ended up with it under its umbrella when it took over De Tomaso, and has since used the moniker for a number of concept cars. Now the name is back in the form of a new upscale sub-brand for the European market.
The first new model to receive the Vignale treatment is the Mondeo, which Ford unveiled here at the Frankfurt Motor Show in both sedan and wagon forms. Positioned above the Titanium trim, the Vignale model gets such special touches as chrome trim and a quilted leather interior, Vignale badges replacing any mention of the Mondeo on which it's based. It also gains an ownership experience - including free car washes for life! - to befit the upscale positioning.
Under the bright spotlights above the show floor, the Nocciola metallic brown paint might not be the most photogenic, but will likely give the Vignale edition a more premium look when it hits European dealers and roads in 2015. Whether it'll be worth however much Ford asks for it, however, remains to be seen. Scroll down below for the official press release.
Fitting Retirement: Grand Marquis last Mercury off the line
Wed, 05 Jan 2011The signs have come down and retail production ended back in October of 2010. Now, the very last Mercury model has rolled off the assembly line. This last Mercury somewhat fittingly takes the form of a Grand Marquis reporting for fleet duty. It was built at the St. Thomas plant in Ontario, Canada, which is the same facility that continues to produce the Ford Crown Victoria and Lincoln Town Car for fleet and livery duty.
St. Thomas' days are numbered, however, as the factory is slated to close on August 31. When it goes, the Panther platform is likely to follow. So long, and thanks for all the fish memories.
