 I have a 1961 Ford F100 Unibody project up for sale. If you are looking you probably already know these were made from 1961-1963. This isn't my first Slick F100 rodeo so let me try to tell you everything I can about it and you can ask questions from there.

The important things..
*IT DOES NOT HAVE A TITLE since in Maine anything over 25years old does not get one issued but I can request one from the state of Maine if your state requires it.
*It was created as an F100 (5lug) but the PO in Idaho changed it to an 8lug set up.
*It was on the road in 2006/7 in Idaho, bought off ebay by PO and shipped to Connecticut where it sat for almost 4 years,I bought it and had it shipped to Maine.
*The front clip is off and disassembled so you can see everything, fenders are pretty good, inner fenders are great, core support is new FOMOCO, and it has a tailgate!

Details:
*292 V8 (turns freely but does not fire)Oil pressure is up on gauge, dist turns and fan turns with the key, just no fire
*4sp manual
*rear end is a Chevy/Eaton HO52 8 lug with a bunch of springs
*front end is a solid axle 1955-1959 series 2 chevy (probably from the same as the rear 3/4 chevy)
*has rust on the floorboards, and on the inside cab wall where the wall/kick panel meets the cab mount (see pics)
*had rust at the roof line but I cut that out and welded in sheet metal before the winter came
*sweet chrome grill and chrome headlight buckets
*comes with new ford core support (see pics), new front sill, new inner fender
*comes with lots and lots of parts- 3 bins worth.
*I have already painted the following
     *hood latch support bars, hood latch, and catch
     *vent doors (air cables both work smooth)
     *heater box (heater core was check out by shop near me and repaired)
     *new shock towers (if you want to switch back to 5lug you will want these new ones
     *mirror, visors, hood springs, and battery tray
     *hood spears and emblems
     *boiled gas tank and painted

As you can see from the photos it is a project, you will want a new hood and a radiator. I can provide the old ones for measurement, but you will want new. The bed is in really good shape at the front where it meets the back of the cab. The torque boxes are in great shape, no holes in them and no holes at the side of the bed that I can find. It will need floor pans, and work on the tailgate. It will also need work on the roof line to make it right, I did it fast to get them covered for the winter as there were huge holes.

*Other goodies include a set of 1968 Mustang bucket seats and 2 new sets of seat tracks, all you need is the Ranger mounting brackets (available in the after market...I'll tell you where)

Please ask if you have questions, all shipping is to be done by the buyer but I can suggest one that I have used in the past

finally, there are 151 photos on another site where you put "photos in a bucket"

We compare 2021 Ford Bronco and Bronco Sport specifications to their ritzy Land Rover competiton

Tue, Jul 14 2020

The 2021 Bronco and Bronco Sport are the spearheads for Ford's new 4x4 sub-brand, with the former taking the fight directly to the Jeep Wrangler and the latter providing Ford with a more rugged alternative to the Escape. We've already looked at how the new Bronco and Bronco Sport compare to their mainstream competition, but we'd like to see how the Bronco stacks up to another hotly anticipated returning nameplate: the Land Rover Defender.  Not to leave its little sibling in the cold, I decided to browse Land Rover's lineup and see what might be a suitable counterpoint to the Bronco Sport. For better or worse, I found an almost-perfect fit in the Range Rover Evoque. So, how do these new American 4x4s compare to the Old Country's more-expensive alternatives? Let's dig in, starting with the big boys.  As you might expect from the Bronco's robust credentials, it holds its own here against the more-expensive Brit. The Defender's higher price point brings along a good bit of power advantage with both engines, but that's to be expected. The Defender also has that trick adjustable-height suspension that the Bronco lacks, giving it an edge in practicality, and it can also tow quite a bit more.  On the flip side, there are quite a few advantages to going with the Ford, including a greater number of choices in terms of powertrain. The available manual transmission on four-cylinder Broncos is a nice bonus, for instance, as is the option of getting either the base 2.3-liter or the optional 2.7-liter engine with either wheelbase. The Defender is a bit more restrictive in this regard offering only the inline-six on the short-wheelbase model. As an added bonus, the Bronco is a convertible. That may not necessarily be a "plus" for all shoppers, but it's certainly an added bit of versatility (and potential appeal) the Defender lacks. And of course, the Bronco can be had for as little as $30,000, whereas the Land Rover starts at $50,000. Now, on to the less-rugged siblings. The specs here are actually a little tighter in most respects, but the powertrain story is almost identical. The Evoque checks in where the Bronco Sport tops out, and the Range Rover gets an optional high-output variant of the 2.0-liter turbocharged four.

2015 Ford Mustang EcoBoost flogged and analyzed by Ignition

Mon, 13 Oct 2014

Aside from the way it looks and perhaps its independent rear suspension, the biggest bit of news on the 2015 Mustang may be the inclusion of its 2.3-liter, turbocharged four-cylinder engine. That blown mill marks the first time since the Mustang SVO of the '80s that a turbo has been fitted under the engine of Ford's pony car.
The Mustang EcoBoost is the subject of the latest episode of Ignition from Motor Trend, giving us a great look at the technical, nitty-gritty side of the turbocharged coupe. Covering it from bow to stern, host Carlos Lago walks us through the boosted Ford before taking to the track for some driving impressions, with particular praise given to the low-end grunt of the 2.3-liter mill.
Check out the full video and then let us know which 2015 Mustang has your interest piqued the most - the EcoBoost four, the 5.0L V8 or the entry-level V6.

Autoblog's June 2019 Editors' Picks

Wed, Jul 10 2019

Each year we review, test and rate hundreds of brand-new cars, trucks and SUVs. We rate these vehicles using the Autoblog score, giving a select few our Editors’ Pick. Here are the best cars we drove in June 2019. 2019 BMW 8 Series Everyone on the Autoblog staff loves a good grand tourer, so we were excited to get behind the wheel of the revived BMW 8 Series, specifically an M850i Coupe. A good GT needs to be as fast as it is stylish and comfortable, and the new 8 Series delivers. We particularly like the 523-horsepower twin-turbo 4.4-liter V8Â’s copious power and smooth ride quality, even on MichiganÂ’s pockmarked post-winter roads. We dig the interior design, too, though not everyone was in love with the exterior. ItÂ’s not the best-handling car in its class, and doesnÂ’t hide its sizable proportions very well, but itÂ’s still worth a look if youÂ’re looking for a big, fast cruiser.  2019 Ford Expedition Crossovers may be the hottest vehicles on the market, but thereÂ’s still a sizable demand for traditional body-on-frame SUVs like the Ford Expedition. These behemoths offer plenty of space in addition to truck-like capability. We like the Expedition's smooth ride, powerful twin-turbo V6 and sharp exterior design, though the interior can feel a bit cheap, especially on some of the more expensive trims. Adding options quickly puts it into Lincoln Navigator territory, and itÂ’s hard to recommend the Ford over the Lincoln when the latter packs the same capability into a far nicer package. Still, the Expedition is as good or better than the competition in most respects, and thatÂ’s why itÂ’s one of our picks. 2019 Toyota 86 Few cars at any price point are as much fun as the Toyota 86 (and its twin, the Subaru BRZ). We like the 86Â’s balanced chassis and sharp steering, and while itÂ’s not as nimble as its close rival the Mazda MX-5 Miata, the ToyotaÂ’s back seat and trunk make it a more usable vehicle. But while we like the 86Â’s driving position, the rest of the interior feels cheap and dated, especially the infotainment system. We complained about the anemic powertrain back in 2012, and itÂ’s only gotten worse as the years have gone by.
