Before I begin, I would encourage all serious buyers to contact me directly at: 517-425-0129. Although this is a seven day auction, I reserve the right to end early. You are bidding on the iconic 1951 Ford Pickup. Recently underwent an extensive frame-off restoration, no expense spared, and it shows. Photo documented, work performed by a well-known, award winning shop. Vehicle has been driven less than 500 miles since build, consistent "first place / best in show" winner. As part of the restoration, body was completely dipped to strip all paint, caulk, etc... Frame has been powdercoated black, entire underside nicely finished as well. (see pics) Originally a solid Arkansas truck. Prior owner estimates over $50,000 and close to 3 years invested in this build. Description as follows: Mechanical: Correct flathead V-8 mated to 3 speed manual trans. Manual brakes and steering. Factory exhaust, new suspension, front-end rebuild, all new brake and gas lines, etc... etc... Runs and drives very well. Nicely detailed engine compartment. Interior: Nicely finished bench seat interior, sharp camel/blue color theme. All factory gauges restored to new as well as AM radio. All in working order. Exterior: Base coat / clear coat show quality paint done in 1951 Ford Alpine Blue. All new exterior trim gaskets and weatherstrip. Truck bed done in finished oak. This old classic rides on Coker bias ply wide whitewall tires with paint-matched steel rims and refinished chrome Ford moon caps. In closing, this is certainly one of the nicest examples you'll find. Take the time to review all the pics and don't hesitate to call with further questions. I also have contact with a reasonable shipping company and would be glad to assist.

How and why Ford is rolling out Vignale in Europe
Wed, 09 Oct 2013
We know that Ford is positioning the new, upscale Vignale brand in Europe to fill a niche market of customers who want a bit more luxury, a lot more service and the same reliability and dependability that a non-Vignale Ford offers. But so far, we've been in the dark regarding how the Blue Oval will sell Vignale vehicles, how many of them will be created, and what the new sub-brand has in store for the future.
Gaetano Thorel, Ford's European marketing head, recently was interviewed by Automotive News and shared details about Ford Vignale. Thorel says, "The Vignale trim line will be priced like an ST model but attract a completely different type of customer." Specifically, he says it will attract customers in the upper 15 percent of the price band who don't want a performance-oriented ST model. He adds that Vignale cars will be about 10 percent more expensive than Titanium-trim cars. About 500 of Ford's European dealers will sell Vignale Fords, Thorel says, "in areas that make sense." The automaker expects 10 percent of its European sales to be Vignale cars, which equates to about 5 percent of its global sales. When asked if there are any other Vignale models planned beyond the Mondeo, Thorel said, "There is nothing written in stone yet."
Ford's official Euro aftermarket partner Mountune coming to US
Tue, 06 Aug 2013Now that we're getting a steady stream of Ford's European offerings, the aftermarket world is finally starting to catch up as well. UK-based aftermarket tuning company, Mountune has just announced that it will be setting up shop in California to provide high-performance and racing parts for Ford vehicles including the Focus ST and Fiesta ST.
Mountune lays claim to being Ford's "official European tuning partner," and US buyers will soon have access to these parts through Ford dealerships and with a Ford Racing warranty. Speaking of Ford Racing, Mountune also says that it will be working with Ford's in-house team to develop future components for both street and track. There are no specifics as of yet for which products will be offered here, but the company plans to launch a US-specific website later this month with more information.
