1954 Ford F100 Pickup Truck on 2040-cars
Normal, Illinois, United States
|
I love this truck. It was a gift from my wife for my 70th birthday. It always starts right up and runs great. Cruises right along just fine even at 70mph. Drives straight down the road and stops straight. Power steering conversion kit. Power disk brake kit, disk in front and drum in rear. It is an older restoration with some modifications. Reverse chrome rims (I love the look of chrome reverse rims) with baby moons. Original gas gauge and speedometer/odometer work. Mileage shows 74,139 and that is probably very close for the chassis/body but the engine is not original-its' a 351 Cleveland but I don't know what year. Supplemental oil, temp and amp gauges work. Turn signals work although sometimes when you turn left it doesn't automatically cancel. Windshield wipers work fine. Headlights and tail lights work. Tilt wheel. Interior is very tastefully finished with gray/maroon vinyl that looks like leather.
The 351C Ford engine has been rebuilt and increased to 400 with a C6 transmission that shifts very smoothly. Running boards are new fiberglass. Gas tank is also new. Rear end is Dodge 8&3/4 inch limited slip. Bed floor is oak with metal strips and although the oak looks good in the pics, in my opinion the oak needs to be refinished. The bed on this truck is not the original as you can see in the pics. I don't know if it is a reproduction or from another kind of truck. You can see that the top of the sides is flat rather than slanted. I like it this way but have never seen another of this vintage with this "feature". Has a B&M shifter. Glass is all good and looks new to me with tint on sides and back window. Dual exhaust sounds really nice. The paint job is quite old (not sure when it was painted) and has some scratches, nicks, chips, cracks but looks really good from a few feet away. I'm embarrassed to say that the color is a Chrysler color. It shines up really well.
Instead of chains on the tailgate, I put nylon ropes because I didn't want the metal chains banging against the gate. Has a Sony radio with cassette player (nothing special) and seems to work OK but I can't figure out how to set the time on the display. There is a picture of it but I have to tell you that there is a screw through the roof. You can't see it till you get in the bed and look down on it or unless you are seven feet tall. I didn't find this till I had owned it for about six months. I have no idea why it's there. I'm trying to think of something else to say but can't. Email me with questions. I don't have anything to hide.
As with all cars/trucks sold on ebay, there is no warrantee/guarantee, etc. I believe the terminology is "as is/where is". I have tried to give you a truthful and detailed description of this truck but please don't hesitate to email me with questions. Or come and take a look and drive it. Buyer is of course responsible for shipping or pickup. I need a non-refundable $1000 deposit within 48 hours via paypal and then the rest in certified cashiers bank check or cash in the next five days. Unlike all the dealers seem to be doing these days, I am not going to charge you a "doc" fee.
Now for the problem.................... Why am I selling this truck if I like it so much???????????It's my wife (the little sweetheart). She hasn't bought into the concept of a collection and won't let me have more than one classic car/truck at a time (bummer) and I have my eye on a Ranchero. And, she won't let me buy it till I have this one sold even if I promise to sell it right after the new one arrives. Double bummer....................... |

Ford Escort is ready to focus on the Chinese market
Mon, 21 Apr 2014Ford officially revived the Escort name in China, showing of the new, four-door compact at the Beijing Motor Show. Painted in a stylish brown-bronze, the new sedan wears a number of global Ford styling cues while sharing its platform with the Ford Focus.
Power for the new model comes from a 1.5-liter four-cylinder, although Ford doesn't specify just how much power is on offer, simply saying that the fuel economy of the new mill will be "outstanding." It's unclear what transmission will be distributing the engine's power, although based on the images we've seen, the Escort will definitely offer a two-pedal setup.
The layout of the cabin is fairly clean, although as we mentioned in our initial post on the new Escort, it's a decidedly sparser environment than we've grown use to in US-spec Fords of late. If anything, it's like a weird blend of current Ford switchgear with an overall look that reminds us of older Ford layouts. Still, it looks like a comfortable way of moving five people about without too much fuss. There's ample space both front and rear, and a rather spacious trunk.
eBay Find of the Day: 1987 Ford Thunderbird Turbo Coupe is showroom fresh
Tue, 27 Aug 2013There's an ultra-rare Ford Thunderbird for sale on eBay, although it's not quite the T-Bird you're probably thinking. This is a 1987 Thunderbird Turbo Coupe, complete with a five-speed manual transmission and just a shade over 13,000 miles on the clock. The condition is said to be mint, and judging by the interior and exterior pictures, we're inclined to believe the seller. The paint is glossy and the interior looks showroom new, while the underbody is stunningly clean for a 36-year-old car.
Underhood sits a 2.3-liter, intercooled and turbocharged four-cylinder (also found in the Mustang SVO) that was producing 190 horsepower when it left the factory. Inside, the five-speed manual transmission adds to the car's rarity. The vehicle's sole owner has been as immaculate with the paperwork as he has with the rest of the car - it's all there, including brochures and other product material.
The eBay auction ends tomorrow at midnight (9:00 PM if you're on America's west coast). Bidding has reached $10,200, and there's still plenty of time to get in on this future classic. The vehicle is located in Millstone Township, NJ.
