1962 Ford F-100 Custom Cab - Rare 292 CI Y Block V8 Engine - 4 Speed Manual Transmission with Granny Low - Starts up and drives good.
The Good:
Runs and drives good, Does not overheat, engine looks great, newer battery, newer radiator, new belt, new fuel filter, all new fluids, body is straight, newer muffler and tip, new thermostat, new distributer wires, very little rust, original red paint, seat looks good, road ready right now after she warms up a little bit of course. Bed was protected by a shell for most of her life so the bed look really nice. Interior looks good for its age. Hood was replaced (not new and not perfect).
The Bad:
Has small dings and dents as seen but not bad at all. Only one large dent at the bottom of the side bed betweed the back of the cab and the wheel on the Drivers Side - see picture (not that bad though). Only cancer rust are small pin holes in the drivers side floor board and pin holes in the bottom corner of the cab on the drivers side. These items do not need to be replaced, they are solid and just need to be cleaned, patched and protected. The main instrument cluster has been taken apart for some reason. will need to be reassembled (6 screws). Because it is apart, i cannt guarantee that all the guages work properly and that all the little windows are there, but when i drove it, the speedometer was spinning. Both locks work and the doors close flush, drivers side needs to be opened from the outside. Passanger window regulator works, but the plastic roller that goes in the window track should be replaced. Windshield has cracks, but the rest of the glass looks good. Tailgate is missing a hinge. There is no stereo in this truck, and the speakers in the door will need to be replaced.
This is just a great old solid un-restored running truck that can be driven as a beater right now or restored to her former glory. Barely any rust, so you wont have any sheetmetal replacement work. Paint could be polished to shine. This truck is sold as is as all of these trucks are. Have title in hand and is registered in California through June 2013. You will get the signed title in the previous owners name. If i need to put it in my name (every state is different), add $150 to the purchase price. I will wait in the 3 hour dmv line if i have to, just dont want to pay the fees. 5K would make this truck work 15K. Numbers pencil out on this one. This si an old truck that needs a lot of work to look great so if you want a specific picture of a specific place or want to hear it run, call or email me. My name is Tom and my number is 925 321 7643.

Ford Mustang returning to Australia in 2016
Mon, 15 Jul 2013Australia's Herald Sun newspaper has reported that the next-generation Ford Mustang is heading Down Under in 2016, just as Ford is hanging the "Closed for Good" sign on its Australian manufacturing operations and sending the Falcon to its grave. Ford hasn't offered any official word on the matter, but the paper says that Ford's global VP of sales and marketing, Jim Farley, is flying to Australia to make the announcement himself.
While Ford converted Mustangs in the early 2000s from left-hand to right-hand drive for the Australian market and then sold them at high prices, it's been almost five decades since Ford imported a dedicated right-hand-drive Mustang to Oz. The arrival of the global model specifically made for places like Australia and the UK means Ford will also be able to offer them at better prices than the converted models; the Herald Sun says the price is expected to be "close to $50,000."
And that's for one of the "V8 performance models," which are the only ones Australia will get; Ford apparently won't send the turbocharged four cylinder or the V6. The Aussies could find out in a month from now whether this rumor is true. We will all find out what this Mustang fuss is about when the car debuts at next year's New York Auto Show.
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.
Evo grabs Ford's Fiesta R5 rally car by the scruff
Wed, 04 Sep 2013Evo and host Henry Catchpole were thinking of excuses reasons to borrow the bonkers Ford Fiesta R5 rally car for a day or two, when it struck them: the car is street legal. With access to the R5, some of the world's most beautiful driving roads in the English Lake Country nearby, and a handy video crewing hanging around, the plan seemed to write itself.
Based on the resulting video, it was a good plan. Without spoiling the video for you - something we can't really do in text as the best part is listening to the rally car run - Catchpole finds the Fiesta to be sublimely quick and massively satisfying. Even taking the car for a spin on a pseudo rally stage, after leaving the English countryside, does nothing but add to his assessment of the beastly little Ford. Scroll on below to see for yourself, and enjoy the ride.
