 Up for auction is a very clean 1970 F-100 that I purchased from the original owner, who lovingly maintained it all these years. Truck is a cream yellow color with a black interior. The interior is in excellent condition, outside of the carpet which could use replacing. The dash pad and dash board look about new, as does the seat and door panels. The original owner added several accessories such as a vintage Radio Shack AM/FM/cassette deck, a CB radio, electronic brake controller, and utilized the existing dash switches to control the front mounted fog lights, as well as lighting and speakers in the camper shell. The three spoke steering wheel with horn ring is also in great shape! Truck is powered by a 302 2-barrel engine that was installed in 2001 according to the receipt (and only has about 4700 miles on it now), smooth shifting C4 automatic transmission, and a 9" Ford rear axle with 3.00 gears and posi-traction. Truck also has power steering and power drum brakes. The original owner wanted this truck ready to 'go' at all times, therefore everything under the hood appears to be in great shape. I have converted the truck from points ignition to electronic via a Pertronix Ignitor. Truck has dual 2" exhaust with quiet glass-pack mufflers and chrome tips. The body is very clean, although there are a few dings and scratches here and there as the truck was used for camping, etc. The early 70s aluminum camper shell is in great condition, and there is a carpet kit installed in the bed. Truck also has an aftermarket wind-visor installed with functional running lights, dual CB antennas, dual chrome door mirrors, and mud flaps at all four corners. A vintage bug deflector is installed on the hood too. The super rare American Racing wheels are very unique, they were made in 1976 and have real wood inserts in them!!!!! There is a spare tire with a spare American Racing wheel that matches the ones on the truck, and a set of spare centers are included (spares are plastic though...). USA made tires are near new as well. The truck has a few minor issues that I have noticed. First the doors could use new anti-rattle kits installed as the windows are slightly loose and rattle and have wind noise at speed. Second, there is some rust in the crossmember under the cab on the drivers side (cab mounts are perfect as owner would keep oily rags stuffed in the cab mounts to keep them from rusting). There is also some rust in the inner fenders in the usual spots...... Third, the original windshield has a few rock chips in it. The truck also really needs a complete and thorough detailing job to look it's best, and probably a little mechanical maintenance as the truck has sat much more then it has driven.....though truck has been very reliable for me when I have driven it. This truck is not perfect, but it is a clean and cared for example of the 68-72 F-100 generation. I never planned on selling it, but medical bills say otherwise! Please email with questions and thanks for looking!

Ford Ka Concept shown in Brazil, could enter production by 2014

Wed, 13 Nov 2013

The Ford Ka (pronounce it like a Bostonian saying "car") is the Blue Oval's sub-Fiesta offering in a number of markets that aren't North America. It's been a staple in Europe since it launched in 1996 and in South America since 1997, where it's enjoyed quite a bit of popularity as an affordable, efficient city car.
The European and South American models grew apart over the years, until Europe ended up with a Fiesta-inspired car and Brazil retained a more evolved version of the original Ka's styling. With this Ka Concept, which is really a concept in name only, Ford is previewing a Ka not just for the European market, but as the brand's new, global small car. With city car sales expected to grow dramatically in coming years and the ever increasing price of fuel, Ford's move to get a new, competitive car into the market on a global level isn't surprising.
Wearing Ford's new, familial grille, the Ka Concept features the same crisp, sculpted sheetmetal that's adorned the Fusion and Fiesta. Developed in-house by Ford Brazil, a production version could launch by 2014, according to Ford's press release. It's unclear what engines will sit under this car's hood, although we'd bet the 1.0-liter, EcoBoost three-cylinder from the Fiesta will be available at some point.

Preserving automotive history costs big bucks

Wed, 29 Jan 2014



$1.8 million is spent each year to maintain GM's fleet of 600 production and concept cars.
When at least two of the Detroit Three were on the verge of death a few years back, one of the tough questions that was asked of Ford, General Motors and Chrysler execs - outside of why execs were still taking private planes to meetings - was why each company maintained huge archives of old production and concept vehicles. GM, for example, had an 1,100-vehicle collection when talk of a federal bailout began.

Truckmakers squabbling over who can sell Jimmy Fallon a pickup

Sat, 08 Mar 2014

Snagging a celebrity endorsement is a big deal for automakers, as evidenced by the recent efforts of the Detroit Three to try and woo The Tonight Show's newest host, Jimmy Fallon, into one of their trucks.
After announcing during Wednesday night's show that he was in the market for a pickup truck, Fallon set off a firestorm of efforts on Twitter, with both Ford and Chevrolet petitioning the funnyman to test out a truck. According to Ad Age, Ford recommended the King Ranch edition of its next-generation F-150 while the show was still airing. Chevy, meanwhile, waited until the next morning to pitch a Silverado to Fallon.
The winner of this social media feeding frenzy, though, was Ram. Promoting a variation of its "Guts, Glory, Ram" tagline, the Auburn Hills-based manufacturer created the hashtag #GUTSGLORYFallon. It even went so far as to park a Ram 1500 outside 30 Rockefeller Center in New York, where The Tonight Show is filmed. On the back of the Ram sat a sign, reading "Big enough, Jimmy? Test it out," referencing a joke from the Wednesday show.
