Up for auction is a nice, clean, original, 1947 1-1/2 ton Ford Truck with a flathead V-8 with 28,086 original miles, 4 speed tranny, and like new tires, straight off the original farm where it spent it's entire life. It' pretty much original except for one re-paint. No frills, pretty simple truck from simpler times. It's pretty much get in and go, this truck looks and drives like it's actually less than 10 years old, not 66 yrs old, runs great, we drove 2 hrs. on a major highway to get her home and it ran flawless. I documented any flaws in my pics, but I'm going to lay them out so as to represent the truck as best as I can, nothing major, but I'm an honest seller and want you to know what I know, and see it like you were here. There is a chip in each fender, about 1-1/2 inches each, a few of the windows have small cracks, the driver side door has a crack in the paint at the bottom of door, due to a repair, most likely from rust, as these doors were prone to rustain as water ran down the window and collected in the bottom of the door, draining poorly, I would say the door needs a patch panel and a repaint to make it perfect, form 10' away it looks good, the headliner in these trucks are cardboard, and are known for mice building nests in them, well, one did, and ate a 3" hole in it, repro headliners are about 50 bucks, the passenger side door is locked shut and I have no key for it, the rubber floor mat has a few small wear holes, and that's abt. it, pretty cut and dry, as I said, nothing major, but wanted to run them thru for you so you can pick anything out in the pics and know what you are bidding on. As I said, nice , clean, 28,000 original mile truck, that looks and drives like it's 10 yrs. old, daily driver, car shows, tow vehicle for you street rod, parades, hay rides, apple picking, historical, museum interests, even advertising your businesss, this truck turns heads, and every one that sees it loves it. Good luck bidding !

Shelby GT500 laps N"urburgring in under 7:40?
Wed, 30 Oct 2013A couple of weeks ago we brought you footage and official times of the new Chevy Camaro Z/28 lapping the Nürburgring. With a 7:37.47 lap time, the Z/28 emerged as the fastest muscle car ever to lap the circuit. But what was missing from that picture was how fast the king of all Mustangs, the Shelby GT500, could manage to lap the Nordschleife.
Ford never released any information or footage of the GT500 on the Nürburgring that we were aware of - that is, until the guys at SVTPerformance.com put in a request for Mustang videos. Among the clips they received was never-seen, in-car footage of the Shelby GT500 lapping the circuit. And boy did it hustle.
Although not quite official, the video seems to show the GT500 lapped the venerated German track in a touch under 7:40. That would make it a tick or two faster than the Camaro ZL1 - but what of the Z/28? By Chevy's quoted time, the Z/28 is still faster than the GT500, but SVTPerformance suggests GM may have fudged the numbers a bit and scrubbed half a second or so off their lap time.
Former Cadillac boss Butler takes Ford tech job
Tue, 07 Jan 2014When Don Butler made the surprising decision to leave his post as Cadillac's VP of global strategic development, it was a surprise. Citing a desire to "recalibrate, reassess my priorities" in that August announcement, it wasn't entirely clear where Butler - a virtual General Motors lifer after spending nearly 30 years with the company - would end up. Turns out he took a trip to Dearborn.
Butler has taken a position in the newly created position of Executive Director of Connected Vehicles and Services at Ford, where he'll be responsible for the Blue Oval's global connectivity strategy. "Not only does Don understand the connected car landscape, but probably just as important, he understands customer expectations," said Raj Nair, who, as Group Vice President of Global Product Development, is Butler's new boss. "Having a leader with technology experience both inside and outside the industry is a rare combination - we're excited to have Don join our team."
As Ford has received its fair share of flak for the sometimes recalcitrant MyFord Touch infotainment system and its Sync voice-controls, it appears that Butler has his work cut out for him.
How that awesome Mustang R/C car chase vid was made
Tue, 06 Aug 2013We've reported on a few R/C car chase videos in the past. One in particular that stands out as a favorite is Zach King's "The Cliché RC Action Chase." It featured a pair of Ford Mustang coupes racing through a cardboard city, plowing into outdoor patios and busting through construction zones. It was wonderfully creative and fun to watch, yet we know there was more to its creation than a bunch of guys fooling around with a camera one afternoon.
Turns out we were right, as evidenced by this video produced by Ford that takes us behind the scenes of Zach's creation. The young filmmaker explains why he chose the Mustang to star in his video, as well as how the cardboard sets were created, what equipment they used for shooting and what it was like when his video went viral. Ford found the young filmmaker and produced the followup as part of its Mustang Countdown video series, which will see a new video about the Mustang culture released every week until the original muscle car's anniversary on April 17, 2014.
Want to make an RC chase video of your own? Yeah, we do too. Watch the behind-the-scenes video below (you can refresh yourself on the mini feature film, too) before you get started.
