I bought this very nice fully restored 1966 F-100 short bed step side about 4 years ago, from what I was told to be the original family. The prevous owner passed away and the son had no interest in keeping it so I bought it from him. The truck had a full frame off restoration about 9 years ago and rarely driven afterward. This truck had previously been in North Carolina for years from what I was told by the previous owner. I actually still have the original 1966 North Carolina licence plate that will come with it. It runs and drives great with a completely rebuilt big block 390 and a c6 automatic transmission. Its sports a Weiand aluminium intake manifold, holley carburetor, breather, valve cover,electronic cooling fans and more. Truck starts every time with the added electronic ignition, and newer battery. It also has power steering and has already had the power brake conversion done. Engine and transmission runs/shift out great with no problems at all. The engine does smoke at times but runs strong with absolutely no problems. It may simply need valve seals but I honestly have not looked into it. The brakes are all new and in perfect working order as they should be. Truck also rides on a set of 15" smoothie wheels with brand new tries that I installed in 2011. Dual exhaust with headers that lead into a set of flowmaster mufflers that sound perfect with the truck. The interior was completely redone and still looks great. The dash pad has one small crack rite in the middle only (very small). Added seat belts. All the glass is perfect with no cracks. All the gauges work perfectly except for the speedometer.It needs a new speedometer cable.. Heat works great. All the lights, tail lights, turn signals, emergency flashers, wipers, etc.. work perfectly. As far as the body I guarantee you wont be disappointed! No rust and a very nice high dollar paint job that was done when restored. I would say the paint is a solid 8 out of a 10 score. The biggest flaw in the paint is on the driver side front fender where I paid top dollar to have the paint touched up properly and it was not. It is so small you cant even see it from pictures. All new chrome, new weatherstripping/ rubbers on everything, new bumpers,etc... The inside of the bed is mint with brand new wood and stainless steel strips. Perfect floor pans,core support, battery tray, front body mounts, tailgate, hood, etc.. I have included some pictures down below of all these areas. Bare in mind this is a show and go truck not a cheap backyard job. This truck is very nice and garage kept at all times. Truck needs only minor things to be perfect again, or just drive as is and show it. Everything was brought down to bare frame and built back up. Everything under the truck is new just like the outside. This truck has won trophies best in class and has been in multiple weddings. Good luck happy bidding and Low Reserve! Truck may be for sale locally so I have the rite to end auction early if sold. When reserve is met it will be sold here only. I have described the truck to the best of my knowledge. But if you have questions please ask before you bid and only bid if you plan to pay! 500.00 deposit due rite after auction ends unless other arrangements discussed previously. Georgia does not and will not issue titles for classics of this age. Truck will be sold with Georgia state bill of sale along with a Current signed tag recite. With these items you should be able to obtain a title in your state if needed. |

Time to catch up with Jay Leno's Garage, including his Lamborghini Espada restoration
Tue, Dec 23 2014If you're already jealous of the time, effort and money that Jay Leno can devote to his massive car collection, prepare to get a little greener with envy with this latest video from Jay Leno's Garage. Instead of the usual format of discussing a model for about ten minutes and then taking it out for a test drive, this week Leno gives viewers on a tour of over a dozen projects concurrently happening in his stable. The breadth of the vehicles shown and the things being done to them run the entire span of the automotive hobby. At the same time, Jay's shop is working on just a simple restoration of his 1969 Lamborghini Espada (pictured), and at the other side of the building, the team is rebuilding a wood-bodied 1914 Detroit Electric from scratch. He eventually plans to slot a more modern electric drivetrain into it. If bikes are more your interest, there's a freshly completed Brough Superior just waiting for a ride, and if American models are your thing, a Ford Bronco is getting a Coyote V8 installed into it. You have some very specific tastes if you can't watch this clip and start wishing at least one of these vehicles could be in your own garage. Other than the personal projects his mechanics are working on in the shop, Jay gets to have them all, plus plenty more.
Recharge Wrap-up: Ford 1.0L EcoBoost a hit in Europe; Build a tiny inverter, win $1 million
Mon, Aug 11 2014In Europe, Ford's 1.0-liter EcoBoost engine is the best-selling turbocharged gasoline engine. The three-cylinder motor powers 20 percent of new Fords sold in Europe. Earlier this year, it won its third International Engine of the Year award, and between January and June, it was sold in about 120,000 cars. So far this year, 38 percent of Fords sold in the Netherlands, 35 percent in Denmark and 32 percent in Switzerland have been powered by the 1.0-liter EcoBoost. The engine's turbocharger spins at 248,000 rpm, and provides 24 psi of pressure. The engine produces up to 138 horsepower, depending on the version. Read more in the press release below. When lithium-ion battery packs are retired from the road, remanufacturing, repurposing, and recycling are worthwhile options, according to a study by Mineta Transportation Institute. The study included a cost-benefit analysis of those three options, and found remanufacturing to be the best route. To get the most out of them, batteries should be tested and have their damaged cells replaced then put back to use. Repurposing is the second best option, using the remaining available charge for something besides cars. Recycling on its own isn't profitable, but it could make economic sense with "increased technological breakthroughs." Learn more at Recycling International or download the report here. A smaller inverter for EVs can win you $1 million. The Little Box Challenge is an open competition to build a power inverter with a density of at least 50 watts per cubic inch. Google and the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE) are offering the hefty prize to the team that builds the inverter with the highest power density within an enclosed volume of 40 cubic inches. Teams must register by September 30. Read more at Green Car Congress or learn more at the Little Box Challenge website.
1964 Ford GT40 prototype to be auctioned in April
Wed, 12 Mar 2014The Ford GT40 owns a firm spot on the list of the greatest American racecars ever made, being the first car from the United States to take an overall win in the 24 Hours of Le Mans. And now Mecum will auction what it claims is second-oldest GT40 still in existence at its Houston sale on April 12.
The story of the GT40 is fascinating. Henry Ford II attempted to buy Ferrari in the early '60s, but Enzo refused. Ford decided if he couldn't have them, then he would beat the Prancing Horse on the track. Ford went to Carroll Shelby and asked him to spearhead the program. The early cars combined a steel monocoque chassis with Ford's 4.2-liter V8 engine pumping out around 350 horsepower. The first prototype made its public debuted on April 1, 1964, at the New York Auto Show.
Shelby kept building prototypes, including GT/104, which is for sale here. This version featured a lighter steel chassis and was raced at Le Mans in 1964. However, a fire forced it to retire. It was then repainted and had a 4.7-liter (289-cubic-inch) engine fitted. The chassis had its best finish at the 1965 Daytona Continental 2,000 Kilometers where it finished third with Bob Bondurant and Ritchie Ginther behind the wheel. Later that season, it was shipped back to Ford where it was restored and displayed at auto shows until 1971 when the automaker sold it. Since then, it has had many private owners.
