Hello,
You are viewing a 1966 Ford F-100 Longbed Stepside 2 wheel drive pickup. This truck was owned by the original owner for approx.40 years in the state of Texas 'till '07. It has had 1 repaint on a 99% rust-free unrepaired body, driver quality paint, done in enamel in its original color. Shows just over 60,000 miles. Powered by the original 352 V-8 which was regasketed, runs smooth with no smoke or noise and holds very good oil pressure. 3 speed manual column shift trans, column is not sloppy and shifts smoothly with no gear noise. Rear axle is a "9 with 3.25 gears also quiet. Steering components and king pins are all tight. The glass is all good with no edge fogging or cracks, mouldings, window felts and runs are also in good original condition. Recent updates include rebuilt carb. starter, alternator, brakes, clutch, heater core and hoses. All lights and gauges operate except alt. gauge, dome light and washer pump. The original spare is still mounted under the bed, the original owners manual with in service date is in the glove box along with the selling dealers license plate frame from Sequin Texas. This is very trust worthy old truck I have driven all over with no problems, it drives and handles very well for a vehicle of its age. If you have any questions please call for a honest discription.
Thanks,

Rest of exhaust is fine. This is also a radio delete truck from the factory. The dash has not been chopped up to install one. Thanks!

Ford Escort returns, just not for US
Sat, 19 Apr 2014Ford is set to give the burgeoning Chinese market its very own C-segment model, while also reviving one of the brand's more notable nameplates. The new Escort, which will make its world debut at the 2014 Beijing Motor Show will be built in the People's Republic at the Changan Ford joint venture facility.
The Escort's exterior is best thought of as a mix of the finer points from the US market Focus and Fusion, with the Aston Martin-ish grille and narrow, wraparound taillights presenting a clean look at either end of the car. It's all fairly true to the concept car from last year's Shanghai Motor Show. That said, this exterior job is almost too clean. There doesn't seem to be a lot of character or substance beyond the typical Ford looks.
There's a similar issue in the cabin - it all looks pretty nice, but the design is rather plain, particularly when viewed alongside the display-filled cabin of a US-spec car. Still, there looks to be a fair amount of space in both the front and back seats, and the trunk isn't exactly tiny, either.
TRANSLOGIC 147: CES 2014 Autonomous Vehicles
Wed, Jan 15 2014We head back to CES in Las Vegas to check on the progress of autonomous vehicles in 2014. We go hands-free on the highway with Audi, narrowly avoid a collision with Ford and hear all about BMW's drifting driverless car. But first we take a ride on Induct's self-driving Navia shuttle.
Ford finds flex-fuel engine design plays big role in emissions output
Mon, Jan 6 2014How bad is ethanol for your engine? There's been a lot of debate on this issue as the US considers upping the biofuel content in the national gasoline supply from 10 percent (E10) to 15 percent (E15). The ethanol industry and some scientists say higher ethanol blends show no "meaningful differences" in new engines while the oil industry says ethanol creates health risks. Researchers working at the Ford Research and Innovation Center decided to take a closer look at how a wide range of gas-ethanol blends - E0, E10, E20, E30, E40, E55 and E80 - affected the emissions coming out of a flex-fuel 2006 Mercury Grand Marquis. To see the full report, printed in the journal Environmental Science & Technology, requires payment, but there is an abstract and Green Car Congress has some more details. The gist is that, "with increasing ethanol content in the fuel, the tailpipe emissions of ethanol, acetaldehyde, formaldehyde, methane, and ammonia increased." At least NOx and NMHC emissions decreased. The researchers say that the effects are due to the fuel and "are expected for all FFVs," but that the way that a manufacturer calibrates the engine will affect NOx, THC, and NMOG emissions. It's this last bit that's important, since the researchers found, "Higher ethanol content in gasoline affects several fundamental fuel properties that can impact emissions. ... These changes can have positive or negative effects that can depend on engine design, hardware, and control strategy. In addition to direct emissions impacts, higher ethanol content fuel can also provide more efficient combustion and overall engine operation under part-load conditions and under knock-limited higher-load conditions." So, as we head towards more ethanol in our fuel supply (maybe), manufacturers are going to need to learn how to burn it most efficiently.
