1958 Ford F100 Big Back Window Pickup on 2040-cars
Fort Collins, Colorado, United States
|
1958 Ford F100 1/2 ton big window pickup. It has a Y block V8 but not sure if its the 272 or 292 version. 3 speed transmission, column shift. It is a Custom Cab. I've had this vehicle less than a month and have decided on another purchase for my needs. I don't have the room for both so this one has to go. Condition: first, as a disclaimer, I note that I am not a mechanic or body man so my assessment is purely from a lay person's eyes. I had the carb rebuilt shortly after purchase so I could determine how well it ran. I was told it had been sitting for years and the inside of the carb showed it. However, after installing the carb it fired up and ran well. The mileage on this is unknown but the odometer shows less than 100,000. When I bought it I was told it had a 292 Y block V8. Ford did not make a 292 for its 58 F100s, that didn't come until 1959. Therefore, either its a 272 or a replacement motor, either could be true. But it does seem to run well in the short around-the-block drives. I do think the clutch is slipping when you start out in 1st gear as it struggles a little to get going, once you do it seems to perform fine. Therefore, clutch repair or replacement is likely in order. Front and back glass is good, side glass is cracked but vent windows are good. Body is fair, no dents or other damage but there is some rust. I note some rust through in each step which has been "repaired" by a previous owner, rust through in the driver side box in one odd place and rust through on the passenger floor. All of these places would, in my opinion, be a fairly easy fix. I don't think the visible rust is significant, certainly not for this year and in comparison to others I have seen. Lights appear to work ok. I'm not certain about the gauges as I haven't driven it enough to really pay attention other than the speedometer does work. I've driven this around the block 3 or 4 times only. All in all a good solid vehicle for restoration or to hot rod. I think its a daily driver keeping the clutch issue in mind. Truck is sold as is where is, shipping is your responsibility. Vehicle is for sale locally and subject to prior sale. Please contact me with questions. |

2015 Ford Mustang revs it up at Cars & Coffee
Mon, 09 Dec 2013Just because the new 2015 Ford Mustang has officially been released, you didn't think that would be the end of the matter - did you? Of course not. There'll still be plenty of rumors, reports and video footage to bring you. Like this, the first non-official footage of the new pony car in the wild.
Shot by YouTube user SotA1080 and dug up by our friends at CarBuzz, this clip shows the new Mustang posing for photos (alongside other Mustangs) and starting up its engine at the most recent gathering of Cars & Coffee in Irvine, CA. And this being the GT model, it's not packing the V6 or the turbo four, but the red-blooded 5.0-liter V8 that tells us and enthusiasts worldwide that the new Mustang has not lost its way. Scroll on down to watch the footage for yourself.
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.
How Ford made its 2015 Ford Mustang safer for toupee wearers [w/video]
Fri, 28 Feb 2014Ford is ready to tell the story of its 2015 Mustang Convertible, the can't-miss bits being the easier, quicker and quieter roof operation, a more robust roof build for a coupe-like cabin noise, more trunk space, better visibility and reduced in-cabin buffeting. The top release system has been completely redesigned with a single, center-mounted latch on the windshield frame instead of the dual latches of before. The driver can now release the roof without having to lean over into the passenger space, after which the top goes down fully automatically with the press of a button. Ford doesn't say how long it takes to stow, but it's apparently done in half as much time as before, so figure around 8 seconds.
The roof uses a five-bow structure, with the fabric outer and full inner headliner sandwiching ten millimeters of insulation. Detailing work on the top has eliminated "unsightly folds" in the corners when the roof is up and made it more compact when down; its Z-fold assembly is 6.7 inches lower than before at its highest point when put down. Ford says the new electric drive internals make less noise when in operation, and the fully-finished droptop look is achieved with snap-in caps that flank the rear seating and stow in the trunk when not in use (the outgoing Mustang's top was higher and the front when folded and always looked like it was catching air and creating drag).
The compact roof and newly independent rear suspension setup in back means liberated trunk space, 11.4 cubic feet ready to swallow golf bags and tourist swag. You can read a lot more about it in the press release below, check it out in the short video of running footage and learn about the aerodynamic improvements made to the entire Mustang lineup that decrease drag and increase fuel economy.
