Turquoise 1965 Ford F-100
(Custom Cab)
I AM 51 YEARS OLD THIS YEAR! I was “born” in Dallas, TX at the Ford plant in 1965 and was owned by one person until 1981.
In 1981 I went to live in Kentucky with a man who owned a Rolls Royce dealership. He took very good care of me and
began keeping records of all my maintenance. Today, my owner has all of my maintenance records going back to 1981.
In 2010, I went to live with a new owner in Gettysburg, PA. My new owner made sure that I was always taken care of
and anytime I needed something, he would use NOS (new old stock) parts every chance he could. Like my prior owner,
he kept me all original.
In 2014, my Gettysburg owner decided he wanted a 1941 Indian motorcycle more than he wanted me so, we broke up.
I have all of my original paint with some "patina", too. I'm not completely perfect, but darn near!! My interior
and upholstery are all original and in STELLAR condition. I have an 8 ft. bed (an upgrade at the time), a 352 V8
engine (1965 was the first year for this engine) and my original AM radio and speaker (also an upgrade at the time)
work great. I have my original gas cap (these often get lost) and my lighter works, too. I have a standard
transmission with 3 on the tree. I do NOT have power steering or power brakes.
In 2014 I got 5 brand new Coker bias-ply radial tires. They are fabulous. Recently, my 51 year old exhaust system
was replaced. It was hand forged to fit me just right, but is exactly like my original system. Also, I have had
the driver’s side of my manifold replaced. Neither of these items were numbered.
I often go to car/truck shows and have won several trophies and plaques (these come with me - I'm proud of them).
I have even been invited to be in 2 movies, but could never make the schedule work. I have been in Christmas
parades and Homecoming parades as well. I still feel like a teenager and my original, low mileage reflects it.
Like my owner says, “You’re only original once”. I’m a much loved survivor and every person in my path has
loved me and taken really good care of me. I have spent very little time exposed to the elements. I'm a truly
special, unmolested piece of history. For all the purists out there, I'm what you're looking for.
I come with a box of old maintenance books, original paint chips and an ENTIRE EXTRA BOLT OF INTERIOR NOS FABRIC.
My interior is beautiful, but I come with enough to be re-upholstered if ever needed.
It looks like my very first owner put farm mirrors on me. It think my second owner did not like them and removed
them and put the smaller side mirrors on (which would have also been accurate for my production year and an
available option).

Ford taken to task by gov't for Chicken Tax end-around
Mon, 23 Sep 2013Ford is in a bit of a pickle for importing and selling Turkey-built Transit Connect cargo vans as passenger vehicles in the US, then converting them to commercial-vehicle specification stateside in an effort to bypass a 25-percent tax imposed on vehicles imported for commercial use. Automakers are required to pay a 2.5-percent tax on imported passenger vehicles.
The Blue Oval got into trouble for this in a January ruling in which U.S. Customs and Border Protection officials asked Ford to stop the practice of importing the Transit Connect vehicles with passenger seats, then removing and shredding them. Now Automotive News reports that Ford is appealing the ruling. The 25-percent "Chicken Tax," as the tariff is often called, is 50 years old and was enacted as a response to a German tariff on chickens. Like Ford, Chrysler bypasses the higher tariff, but it does so in a different manner. It partially disassembles Sprinter cargo vans before shipping them to the US, then rebuilds them at a plant in South Carolina.
But the ruling against Ford's strategy states that it "serves no manufacturing or commercial purpose" and is there to "manipulate the tariff schedule," Automotive News reports. As Ford's appeal goes through, it is importing the Transit Connect and paying the higher tax, hoping for a favorable outcome and planning to build the next-generation Transit Connect, which it plans to launch before the end of the year, in Spain.
1964 Ford GT40 prototype sells for $7M
Mon, 14 Apr 2014Seven-figure Ferraris are not horribly rare. Heck, an eight-figure Ferrari isn't a rare occurrence. Between modern masterpieces like the Enzo and more classic offerings, cracking the million-dollar mark isn't a particularly tall order for the cars from Maranello. For a Ford, though, it's a big deal.
Now, this is not just some rare Mustang. This is a GT40, the car that Henry Ford II commissioned to whip Enzo Ferrari around a track in France. As far as the Le Mans-winning racers go, they don't get much rarer than this one. Sold at the Mecum Auctions in Houston, this is one of the prototypes, meaning it's one of the very first GT40s ever built. That makes its $7 million winning a bid, a record for on-air coverage of the auction, a pretty darn impressive figure.
You can watch the auction below, but first, take a look back at our original story on this rare Blue Oval.
