A one of a kind '70 Ford F100 2wd shortbed. This truck runs great. I hate to sell, but I have too many projects. The body is in good condition with no major rust issues.  The shortbed is relatively rare and desireable (over the longbed). I drive this truck almost daily with no issues. I put a new gas tank in it a couple years ago and change the oil regularly. This would be a great truck to restore or just drive it as is. It has a great running 351W with a manual 3spd transmission. Tires are 60% or better. I've owned it for 6 years and it's a fun truck that gets lots of looks!  Keep in mind, this is a 43 year old truck.  It is not perfect, however, this is a very driveable truck and great base for a restoration or just enjoy it the way it is.  The bed is solid with one area at the very front right corner of the bed where it has rusted through (this is included in the pictures--see the middle of the pic for the bad spot),but the bed is structurally sound.  I do have a bedliner which is also pictured.  Usually I keep the bedliner on the truck, but took it off for the pictures.  There is zero to no rust along the bottom edge of the doors (shown in pics).  The passenger side floor pan should probably be replaced or patched at some point, but I've seen worse (also pictured).  The odometer reads about 55K but this is probably not accurate.  The motor is a 351W which is not original to the truck.  It is a rebuild which was put in at some point by the previous owner.  I have no idea how many miles are on it, but it runs ver well and starts every time.

I started replacing body parts (which explains the "custom" paint job) with the intention of doing a restore.   However, I stumbled across something else along the way.  So, some other lucky person will get to finish this project.

**One item of note--Clearly I've replaced some parts.  When I replaced the doors, I forgot to pull the data plate off of the old door, so the VIN on the current data plate does not match the VIN on the frame.  The VIN on the frame does match the VIN on the title.  This is why car makers stamp VINs on frames--thankfully...  Not a huge issue, but I wanted to be upfront about this.

1979 Dodge Li'l Red Express in Generation Gap showdown with 1933 Ford Pickup

Fri, 18 Jul 2014

Auto enthusiasts love a good debate, whether it's Mustang versus Camaro or Ferrari against Lamborghini. But how about a battle between two very different vintages of classic pickup trucks? In this case, the fight is between a 1979 Dodge Li'l Red Express and a 1933 Ford Model 46 truck with a flathead V8.
The shootout comes courtesy of the internet series Generation Gap, and its concept is super-simple. One guy prefers classics, and the other likes newer rides. They choose a category, pick two vehicles and put them head to head. In this case, neither is exactly modern, though. The Ford is more than old enough to receive Social Security checks, and the Dodge is hardly a young whippersnapper.
Other than both being pickups, these two models were made to serve very different functions. The Li'l Red Express was basically the progenitor of today's muscle trucks, with a big V8 that made it one of the quickest new models in its day (admittedly, 1979 was a rough time for automotive performance). On the other hand, the '33 Ford was just meant to work, with little pretense for anything else. One of the hosts describes it as "the simplest, most difficult" vehicle he's driven because of the tricky double clutchwork necessary to shift gears. Scroll down to watch the video and try to decide which of these two American classics you would rather have in your garage.

2015 Ford Mustang vs. Camaro and Challenger [w/poll]

Thu, 17 Jul 2014

The horsepower wars are tightening among the Detroit Three, as the Ford Mustang, Chevrolet Camaro and Dodge Challenger are getting bigger, more powerful, and yes, more fuel efficient.
That came into sharper focus this week as more information was revealed about the most insane Challenger ever - the 707-horsepower Hellcat - followed quickly by Ford's in-depth showcase of the 2015 Mustang in Dearborn.
It's shaping up to be a golden age for enthusiasts, and what's under the hood is becoming more important than ever.

Curtain officially comes down on Mercury as dealers remove signage

Mon, 03 Jan 2011

The process of shutting down the Mercury is complete. Ford officially made the decision to close its mid-level brand in June of 2010. In the months that followed, Ford offered its dealers money to stop selling the cars, with production shutting down in September. The last Mercury, a Mariner, rolled off the assembly line in the beginning of October and former spokesperson Jill Wagner said her good-byes to both the car and her job. Now the last piece of the brand has come down as dealers are removing any and all Mercury signage from their lots.
