1962 Ford F100 Rare Factory 4x4 on 2040-cars
Susanville, California, United States
You don't see these very often a factory 1962 F100 4x4, there wasn't very many made from what I read and not a hole lot survived because people worked them. This truck had been sitting in a Northern California Barn for at least 20 years, it was taken out and and worked on to get it running again. Well all it took was a fuel pump, spark plugs and wires plus a little help from a new battery and it purred again. The original 292 was replaced with a stronger 352, and a 4 speed NP435 trans was mated to it. If a original 292 is something you want to put back in I know where to get a running one for $400. Apparently the reason it was parked back then was the tranny was hard to shift into third, well I have been driving it the way it is and third gear is a pain and just recently I had it checked out and it appears to be the shift fork pads are worn no more than $200 to fix. The motor leaks oil from oil pan, my guess the motor needs gaskets from sitting so long. Now to the cab, bed and frame. The cab is solid just surface rust in some area's, all windows are there and not broke, dash had been cut to install 8 track radio, the floors are good but there is two rust holes near the kick panels but no major surgery needed her. A rodent got into the wiring and now turn signals and gas gauge don't work. The bed and tailgate are good, just surface rust and there is bondo at one of the wheel wells, very little though. Well I think I covered everything, but if you have any questions feel free to contact me. The truck is listed locally and I reserve the right to end auction at any time.

Mulally to stay at Ford through end of 2014 at least
Fri, 06 Dec 2013Alan Mulally isn't going anywhere... at least not just yet. The CEO who helped turn around Ford Motor Company has been linked to the top job at tech behemoth Microsoft, leading to a flurry of rumors about potential successors. Those rumors, though, may have just been put to rest - at least for a little while.
Speaking to Edsel Ford II (great-grandson of company founder Henry Ford) at the unveiling of the new Mustang, Automotive News Europe confirmed that Mulally would stick around until the end of next year. "Alan is staying through the end of 2014 and that's all I know," said Ford. "Frankly, he has told us that his plan is to stay with Ford through the end of 2014."
Presuming that Edsel Ford is correct and that Microsoft isn't so hot on Mulally that it saves the position for him, it seems increasingly likely that the 68-year-old exec is more interested in continuing to work in Dearborn rather than in Redmond.
Ford C-Max sales hold steady despite fuel economy fracas
Mon, 09 Sep 2013Despite the ballyhoo that accompanied Ford's lowering of the C-Max fuel economy figures, the Blue Oval is still seeing strong demand for the five-seat MPV, as Automotive News reports. Speaking to marketing boss Jim Farley, AN says that the controversy surrounding the C-Max's fuel economy figures won't force Ford to change its marketing strategy.
Ford lowered the fuel economy rating of the C-Max after public outcry and legal action by customers that were unable to reach the 47 miles per gallon promised by the window sticker. The new ratings were dropped about a month ago to 45 mpg on the freeway and 40 mpg in the city. Ford offered rebates for current C-Max owners, with $550 going to those that bought their car and $325 to lessees. The issue, says Ford, stemmed from testing standards that allowed the automaker to base the C-Max's fuel economy on the Fusion Hybrid, because they use identical powertrains. The C-Max's less aerodynamic shape wasn't taken into account, though.
Whether Ford's PR team handled the crises perfectly or people just aren't that bothered by a four-mpg drop in combined ratings, demand remains strong for the C-Max among consumers. Ford moved 3,000 units in August, which was a 12-percent jump over July sales. Meanwhile, consumer demand through third-party shopping websites remains strong as well, according to Autometrics, a data analysis company that spoke with Automotive News. While the long-term effects of the adjustments remain unknown, the C-Max appears to have fared well in the near term.
