Listed is a very special 1953 Ford F-100 Pickup. This truck has been meticulously restored by its owner and is as fresh as they come. Turn the key and go!

The body has been freshly painted within the last year and has no damages other than a few very minor paint chips. The color is PPG 'Sierra Blue', paint code 19188. It is non metallic and looks like a truck of this vintage should. During the restoration any flaws,,which were few and far between,were corrected using new metal or parts where needed. No bondo was used. The truck comes with spare parts including 2 older 1953 Ford wheels that can use the original style dog dish hubcaps and 4 1953 style stainless steel hubcaps as well. All window glass was replaced with tinted glass and installed using new rubber moldings. All weatherstrip on the cab was replaced as well. The owner used sierra blue colored 'bedliner' paint to spray the walls on the pickup box and the insides of the fenders. A very thorough way of covering these areas leaving a tough finish. The oak bed has been completely restored with new oak and stainless steel runners. New polished stainless steel bumpers were installed and dress up the truck. While its not a trailer queen, it certainly makes a stunning appearance that would make its owner proud at any show. The interior has been done over as well. The bench seat is black vinyl and has no problems. The dash and door panels are painted the same as the exterior as they should and look great. The dash cluster is original. The speedometer is working but the owner decided to upgrade the stock oil pressure and temperature gauges with more modern (and accurate) after market gauges that are mounted under the dash. As part of the restoration process, the headliner was replaced with and new, original style one that fits perfectly. Even the dome light and heater work! The 50th anniversary horn center for the steering wheel is included but the retaining clip has a broken tab and rather than risking damage to it, the owner simply replaced it with a horn button for a later truck. So a new retaining clip could solve the issue. It is super clean inside and ready to go. The body was removed for the chassis during the restoration process. This permitted a thorough cleaning which shows in our pictures. All suspension and front end parts are solid and working as they should. The engine, a 239 Ford flathead with the stock 2 bbl carb was rebuilt and has only 100 or so miles on it. It runs very quietly and cruises at 55 MPH easily. The owner has not wanted to push it further but it is likely that it could do a bit better. It typically maintains 40 lbs. of oil pressure and runs at about 160-165 degrees. It has never overheated since restoration. It has a 3 speed column shifted.transmission that shifts smoothly. All brake components were re-done and all new wiring, bumper to bumper, was installed. The truck will come with some extra parts such as the 2 wheels and 4 new hubcaps, a fresh air heater, and the side step plates in our pictures. This is a great opportunity to own a freshly restored, classic For F-100 Pickup. 1953 was an iconic year for Ford and this truck epitomizes the style and utility that Ford set out to do with their truck lines and still do.

Are you a new Ford Mustang SVO? [w/video]

Fri, 16 May 2014

When Ford announced that its 2015 Mustang would arrive with a 2.3-liter EcoBoost four-cylinder engine, three letters came to mind: SVO. While Ford hasn't said a word regarding the rebirth of a Mustang SVO model, this latest set of spy shots shows us something very, very interesting. Allow us to explain.
The Mustang prototype in these photos looks very similar to the GT500 test cars we've spotted before - same bulging hood, aggressive front fascia and air vents aft of the front wheels. What's different, however, is around back. Have a look at the exhaust, and note that instead of the GT500's usual quad pipes, two of the exhaust outlets have been capped off.
Our spies point out that these exhaust outlets could be closed for some sort of emissions testing or another engineering reason, but it's also important to note that the engine and exhaust notes of this car sound completely different from earlier GT500 prototypes. We've got a video below that compares the two.

Ford ditching Microsoft in favor of BlackBerry QNX for next-gen Sync?

Mon, 24 Feb 2014

Ask the average consumer - at least, those who follow the goings-on in the automotive industry - which carmaker they'd most closely associate Microsoft, and the answer you'd most likely get would be Ford. The Blue Oval automaker, after all, was at the forefront of bringing Microsoft technology into cars with its pioneering Sync system, and, though reality didn't turn out as such, Ford's CEO was recently touted as a potential future head of the Redmond-based software giant. But that relationship, according to the latest reports, could be coming to an end.
Alan Mullaly kiboshed the idea of leaving Dearborn for Redmond, but more importantly Ford is tipped to be ditching Microsoft in developing its next-generation Sync system. In its place, Ford is expected to partner with BlackBerry's QNX division.
Now, before you go balking "BlackBerry?! But they're finished!" consider that QNX is (or at least was) an independent entity that Research In Motion (as BlackBerry's Ontario-based parent company was then known) just happened to have bought back in 2010. QNX provides control systems to everything from nuclear power plants and UAVs to automakers like Audi, BMW and Porsche.

Pickup prices rising at 2x industry average

Tue, 11 Jun 2013

We've said it before, but bears repeating: Pickup trucks are the financial engines of America's automakers. Good thing, then, that the segment is in rude health - in fact, Automotive News is suggesting that pickup truck sales are arguably healthier than they were pre-recession, even though the segment's volume is still significantly down from where it was before the bottom fell out of the US economy. That's because per-unit profits on full-size trucks are skyrocketing, outpacing the industry's average price increases by more than double since 2005. According to data from Edmunds, the average transaction price of a full-size pickup is now $39,915 - a heady increase over the $31,059 average price in 2005 - a gain of over 8 percent after inflation is factored in.
Just how important are trucks to automakers' bottom lines? Automotive News quotes a Morgan Stanley analyst as saying the Ford F-Series is responsible for 90 percent of the company's 2012 profits, and General Motors isn't far behind, with the Chevrolet Silverado and GMC Sierra twins chipping in about two-thirds of the automaker's earnings.
Automotive News points out that Detroit's automakers now have the money to invest in modernizing their full-size truck offerings, in part because they don't have the same overhead and legacy costs that pushed General Motors and Chrysler into bankruptcy. Certainly, the pickup segment has seen a lot of innovations as of late, including turbocharged V6s, coil-spring rear suspensions and active aero. Those improvements in important areas like fuel economy and ride comfort have given existing pickup buyers new reasons to upgrade. In addition, automakers are piling on the tech and luxury goodies, creating more and more high-content, high-profit models like the Ford F-150 King Ranch, Ram 1500 Laramie Longhorn and Chevrolet Silverado High Country (shown).
