1960 Ford F100 4x4 Custom Cab, 292, 4-spd, Big Back Window complete truck, project, very rare. Was last registered and running in 2006. Former Department of Defense truck with low original miles.

You are bidding on an extremely rare 1960 Ford F100 factory 4x4 truck. I owed a 1958 F-100 NAPCO conversion, and this is exactly the same but the first year offered from the Ford factory as an option. According to Ford’s production numbers, only 4,334 4x4 fleetside trucks were produced in 1960; it’s the truck equivalent of a 1967 Shelby GT-500 in regards to rarity. Combine this with the big back window and the Custom Cab option, and it’s even more rare. I would say this is the Holy Grail among Ford 4x4 enthusiasts.

Most Ford enthusiasts say that NAPCO was still building these early models; I can’t say for sure but can say it’s exactly the same component-wise.

The original paint color seems to be Aquamarine, a turquoise green. It is now poorly painted in yellow. The body is amazingly solid and not rusted out; minor rust bubble areas that would be easy fixes.

This particular truck has just over 36,000 original miles (formerly a Department of Defense vehicle), retains its' original 292 cubic inch V-8 engine, and four-speed manual transmission with compound low. The 4x4 package utilizes a divorced Spicer transfer case in proper working order, original 9" ford rear end, and what appears to be a Dana 44 front axle (removable asymmetrical cover).

The truck is complete under the hood less battery, and last registered, running, and driving 2006. I am operating under the assumption that the engine will require a full rebuild at this point due to sitting, so I’m selling it as a non-operable “project” truck. The transfer case shifts smoothly through all positions, as does the 4-speed manual transmission. It still has a good clutch, and the brakes still work. Not much more to say under the hood.

Tires are old but hold air, there doesn't appear to be any bed, floor, or door step rust-thorugh. The bed has a diamond-plate steel panel that covers the entire bed floor; I don't know if this was added or original. A small amount of rust bubbles in each driver- and passenger fender down low, and perhaps some beginnings in the cab corners, although they look solid. Overall I'd say the truck is very dry and mostly rust-free. Window regulators are complete and in place. The original tail gate is no longer present, either. Otherwise, what you see is exactly what you get.

The interior is complete and unmolested other than an updated stereo, and a three-gauge auxiliary package added under the dash.

Clear title in hand. This is a rare one and would be an amazing truck restored.

While every effort is being made to describe the truck accurately, it is in fact a 54-year-old classic, and therefore being sold as-is, without warranty or guarantee expressed, written, or implied. Shipping is the full responsibility of the buyer. I will make myself available for loading.

$4,500.00 cash or best close offer. Please be able to pay in full within 3 days of auction end via Bank of America deposit, or bank wire transfer.

2015 Ford Focus gets more Aston-y [w/video]

Tue, 04 Mar 2014

With more and more members of the Ford brand adopting a new familial face, the Focus has been left looking like an odd man out. At the Geneva Auto Show, though, it properly rejoined the family, adopting the now familiar Aston Martin-ish grille that's proliferated throughout the range.
Overall, we're liking the refreshed Focus' look. Aside from the new grille, the headlights have been restyled and now look like elongated versions of the lamps on the Focus ST. Functionally, those headlamps are bi-xenon units, complete with an adaptive front lighting system. Out back, the rear retains the same overall look, which has been smoothed out for 2015.
In the cabin, the second-generation of Ford's much-maligned Sync system makes its debut. Sync 2, as it's called, is supposedly more intuitive than the first-gen system. Ford is promising "one-shot" navigation functions for the system. Saying "I'm hungry," should bring up a list of nearby restaurants. Of course, we'll be reserving final judgment until we can test the new system in person.

2015 Ford Focus sedan shows its fresh face in New York

Wed, 16 Apr 2014

That handsome fellow you see above is the 2015 Ford Focus sedan. We liked the looks of the 2014 Focus, and the updates for 2015 only improve things to our eyes, with the adoption of the Aston Martin-inspired grille that has been permeating Ford's lineup these last few years. Sweeping, slightly bulbous headlamps join a revised, more demure lower grille opening to round out the styling updates up front. The rest of the car's look is just slightly massaged, including new taillamp clusters that look much like they did last year.
New for 2015 is the availability of Ford's 1.0-liter three-cylinder EcoBoost engine, mated exclusively to a six-speed manual transmission. There's also a new SE Sport Package that adds more aggressive suspension tuning, paddle shifters (when equipped with Ford's six-speed dual-clutch automatic) and a few body kit bits and pieces. Rounding out the mechanical changes are an updated electronic steering rack that promises better feel, suspension tweaks to make the ride more comfortable and some software updates designed to make the dual-clutch gearbox better behave itself.
In addition, inside there are a few interior upgrades, as well as some added comfort and safety tech that includes available blind-spot detection and lane-keeping assist, along with other more incremental changes that all add up to a better vehicle. We suggest you check out the official press release below for all the details, but not before scrolling through our image gallery of live shots above.

Ford books $1.2B profit in second quarter on strength of trucks

Wed, 24 Jul 2013

Ford is rolling along nicely, with a positive second-quarter sales report and a $2.3 billion profit in North America. The Dearborn, Michigan-based manufacturer captured $1.2 billion globally from April to June, with a $177 million profit in Asia. Even in Europe, the land of doom and gloom for automakers not named Mazda, Ford saw some success as it lowered its expected full-year loss from $2 billion to $1.8 billion. The company lost $348 million in Europe during the second quarter, which, believe it or not, represents a $56-million improvement over 2012.
According to the report on CNBC, Ford enjoyed a three-percent increase in pre-market trading thanks to the news. The strong demand for the F-150 propelled growth in the US market, while Ford's 47-percent increase in Asian sales can be attributed to the new EcoSport crossover and Kuga (Ford Escape in the US) arriving in the somewhat fragile Chinese market.
Pre-tax profits for Ford are expected to be in the neighborhood of $8 billion by the end of the year, with sales the US, Europe, and China all looking up. The company also shifted $4.78 billion of asset-backed debt in the form of bonds, according to a report by Bloomberg. This move came amidst rumors of the Federal Reserve cutting back on its $85-billion-per-month bond purchases. Ford wasn't alone among automakers looking to sell off debt, though, as Mercedes-Benz and Nissan shifted around $1 billion each in bonds relating to auto loans.
