1950 FORD PICKUP (NOT FOR SUNDAY DRIVING)

You are looking at a 1950 Ford Pickup that is anything but standard or run of the mill.  I have to give a little background to this vehicle before describing it.  This was my father n laws truck.  He wanted something that would burn the tires and go real fast and he wanted something different.  He used to race NHRA back in the mid to late sixties and early seventies.  He had been working on this truck for several years trying to complete it and finally did.  Unfortunately the truck was completed several weeks before he passed away.  He died of cancer last October and was too sick to actually see the truck before he passed away.  I am selling the truck for my mother n law.

Nova Front Stub

Rebuilt Turbo 400 Transmission using performance rebuild kit

Centerline racing rims

Battery and gas tank placed in .40 aluminum fabricated bed of truck
 
The engine and Transmission have less than 30 miles on them (just enough to get it home from the shop that finished it). 
 
Now for some of the bad:
 
This vehicle has some rough spots on the body.  I tried to show all "bubbles" from rust under the paint.  The paint itself is a little rough and there are also some scratches that I tried to show.  The passenger side door doesn't open from the outside.  Some of the gages inside don't work - I only drove it from the garage that put it together to my father n law's garage.  I will be happy to answer any questions about the truck (309-337-6322).  The bottom line is that he wanted something to go real fast and wasn't worried about how it looked initially. 
 
A $500.00 non refundable deposit is due within 48hrs of the final winning bid.  I can also help arrange local shipping if needed but buyer is responsible for cost of shipping.  If you are not satisfied with purchase I can arrange to refund the $500.00 deposit.  Like I said I am doing my best in describing a vehicle I know little about.

Ford opens 88 new dealerships in China in a single day

Mon, 23 Jun 2014

"Ford opened 88 dealerships in China last year." "Ford opened 88 dealerships in China during the first half of 2014." "Ford opened 88 dealerships in China last month." None of those statements - even the last one - would seem unbelievable. Saying "Ford opened up 88 dealerships in China last Thursday," though, is a bit more dramatic.
Yes, on June 19 alone, Ford opened the doors on nearly 100 showrooms in the People's Republic, boosting the Blue Oval's total presence in the country to 750 dealerships. Of course, while an overabundance of dealers in the US proved troublesome for American manufacturers back in 2008 and 2009, there's no such concern in China. Considering the country's huge population and the breakneck pace of the local auto industry, you could be forgiven for being surprised Ford only has 750 outlets at this stage.
What's notable about this most recent push, besides the sheer volume of new stores, is their location. Over three-quarters of the new dealerships are in so-called Tier 4 cities, which are smaller towns that still contain millions of people. This fits with Ford's strategy in China of avoiding the bigger battlegrounds that are already dominated by competitors and focusing on setting up shop in newer markets that may have been overlooked, according to Automotive News.

Amelia Island 2013: 50 years of the Ferrari-slaying Ford GT40

Wed, 13 Mar 2013

Originally developed with the sole purpose of being a Ferrari rival to compete at the 24 Hours of Le Mans, the Ford GT40 became a prominent racing machine in the 1960s in both Europe and the US. Not wanting to leave such an important car out of the fun, the 2013 Amelia Island Concours d'Elegance also took time out from its other celebrations to recognize the 50-year anniversary of the GT40.
Over its short lifespan, the GT40 was offered in a handful of configurations, but the classic short-tailed (Mk I and Mk II) bodystyles were well represented... especially in Gulf livery. James Glickenhaus (of Ferrari P4/5 fame) had his bright yellow Mk IV in the field, and there were several others in this bodystyle, including one that has seen plenty of time on the track judging by its chipped-up nose.
As a fitting statement for the car's lengthy racing history, GT40 Chassis Number 1075 won this year's Concours de Sport award. This car took home the checkered flag at Le Mans in 1968 and 1969, and racked up a total of six wins in just 11 races.

Ford, Volvo top 2014 EyesOn Design awards

Fri, 17 Jan 2014

Each year at the Detroit Auto Show, the top vehicle designs are recognized with the prestigious EyesOn Design award for production and concept vehicles. This year, the 32 EyesOn Design judges (comprised of current and former vehicle designers including Chrysler designer and SRT president Ralph Gilles, Kia designer Peter Schreyer and retired General Motors designer Wayne Cherry) handed out three awards for the Best Concept Vehicle, Best Production Vehicle and Innovative Use of Color, Graphics, and Materials.
Beating out the Mercedes C-Class and Ford F-150, the 2015 Ford Mustang was named the Best Production Vehicle as the top auto show debut at this year's Detroit show. The 2014 Volvo Concept XC Coupe took home awards as the Best Concept Vehicle and for its Innovative Use of Color, Graphics and Materials.
Considering the Volvo's primer grey hue and subtle orange accents, it was a rather surprising winner for Innovative Use of Color, Graphics, and Materials over flashier concepts like the Toyota FT-1 and our Editors' Choice top pick, the Kia GT4 Stinger. Other vehicles in the running for the concept car award include the GT4 Stinger and Audi Allroad Shooting Brake
