Selling a Gorgeous, Super RARE Burgundy 1948 Ford F-1 Stake body pickup. I have been around awhile and have been to a ALOT of car shows and have never seen another one quite like this. This truck is the most prized of my Grandfather's personal collection, and a show winner! He purchased the truck back in 1978 (possibly from the original owner) and had the truck fully restored in 1998, with now less than 3k miles on the fully rebuilt engine. He has enjoyed driving the truck to shows and parades a few times a year since restoration. Garage kept and driven on sunny days only!. Meticulously maintained truck! Truck bed is truly a work of art, restored personally by my Grandpa who is a Master woodworker. Bed floor is solid oak, stake sides shown in photos are solid oak stakes with Beech wood slats. Also included with the truck but not shown is a complete set of full length and height side boards made of oak. The body on the truck is absolutely perfect with no rust or evidence of body work anywhere. The only blemish in the paint I could find is on the driver's front fender that was scratched at a local car show last fall. (see photo) The running boards are truly awesome. They were New old stock parts in the original box installed when the restoration was complete. Truck has correct wheels and hubcaps with matching Firestone Bias Ply tires. I can see myself in the paint on the wheels! Very Good tread as this truck sees very few miles per year. The odometer reads 6375. We are uncertain if this is the original mileage due to the age of the truck and the full restoration performed. The interior is nearly perfect and correct. Everything functions as it should. The engine is the original 239 Flathead V8 with single barrel carburetor. Transmission is original 4 speed with Granny low gear. Tan vinyl seat and headliner is in very good condition as seen in photos. All switches, knobs, indicators function correctly. Regular maintenance has been performed religiously. This truck needs nothing to be enjoyed and showed now! I would not be surprised if this truck won awards your first time out! My grandfather would like the truck to go to a good home to someone who will enjoy it as much as he has. You will not find another truck like this anywhere! New York State does not issue titles for vehicles of this age, so the new owner will receive a transferrable registration and a bill of sale. Vehicle is for sale locally and I reserve the right to end the auction early. Serious buyers can e-mail me and I will give you the owner's phone number for questions. Payment: Deposit of $500 will be required by Paypal within 24hrs of auction end. Balance will need to be by certified check or cash in person, within 10 days of auction end. If paying by check, funds will need to clear the bank before the vehicle will be released. Shipping: All shipping will be the responsibility of the buyer.

Ford to build Explorer in Russia to meet demand [w/video]
Fri, 12 Apr 2013The current Ford Explorer is sold in more than 64 countries, and this three-row vehicle continues to grow in popularity worldwide. To keep up with demand, Ford began producing the Explorer at Ford Sollers Elabuga Assembly Plant in Tatarstan, Russia, a joint venture facility. This partnership will build Russian-market Explorers only, and production of export vehicles not destined for Russian buyers will continue to be built at Ford's assembly plant in Chicago.
Before this plant went online, Ford would ship Explorers to Russia (and other regions around the world) as partially assembled knock-down units where final assembly would eventually take place. While there is no indication as to how many Explorers Ford Sollers will build for Russia, Ford did add that exports of the SUV were up 65 percent last year (from 2011) accounting for more than 24,000 units.
Scroll down for a press release about the Russian Explorer as well as a video (bad music and all) showing the SUV being produced in Tatarstan.
Watch how Ken Block spent his weekend in Barbados
Thu, 22 May 2014Regardless of what you think of his skill as a racer, Ken Block is an expert showman. At this point, he has a career of showing up around the world to do vehicular stunts, and he's still able to go racing as well. It's a pretty sweet niche to carve out. Recently, Block was in Barbados to participate in Top Gear Live and the first event of the Global Rallycross Championship season, and Ford Racing produced a short video to show off his exploits.
It looked like a great show. Block got to race Lewis Hamilton in a Mercedes-Benz Formula One car and had a very weird crash during a Rallycross race that put his Ford Fiesta on its roof. Top Gear also released an extended look at Block and Hamilton's spectacle with the two of them expertly sliding around. Scroll down to watch the videos and get a taste of Block's tropical racing adventure.
2014 Ford Fiesta ST
Tue, 15 Oct 2013I'm not overly inclined to professional jealousy, as a rule. Sure, I go a bit green around the eyes when Ramsey draws the 911 GT3 trip to Weissach, Harley is tapped-in to drive a completely stunning Porsche 911 by Singer, or, you know, Drew Phillips gets to shoot a Lamborghini Veneno in the middle of a desert like some sort of sheik. I hate you guys...
Honestly though, one of the new car events that dug me the most, was when our Steven J. Ewing got to fling the Ford Fiesta ST around some hot corner of Europe. What goes around comes around, I suppose, as Mr. Ewing himself espoused an envious nature of the Focus ST trip that came before.
The good news in all this covetous intra-office behavior? All the cars mentioned, and specifically the Fiesta ST, are just wonderful to drive. I can say that with more confidence than ever now, having joined Ford for a good bit of Fiesta-flinging myself. In my case, the locale was slightly more pedestrian (Michigan not Portugal), and the car in question was the five-door version of the Fiesta ST that we get here in The States, as opposed to the three-door number they get across the pond.
