1966 Ford F-100 (rare 4-wheel Drive) 390cu V8 Big Block on 2040-cars
Hollywood, Florida, United States
Hello. I am selling my 1966 Ford F-100. The truck is about 3/4 restored and is ready to drive home. It's a real eye catcher. Loud, flashy, and fast. Here are some bullet notes: * Engine starts right up and runs like a beast. Seriously...it runs like a raped ape. I have to start in 2nd gear because there's just too much power in 1st gear. * Newer upholstery - matching exterior paint scheme * I just replaced the pitman arm and steering box in February of this year. The steering needs to be tightened up just a bit though. It's a little loose. * Truck runs smooth on the highway. It can easily cruise at 80mph. * I put in a new Edelbrock carburetor (replaced the manual carburetor) * 4 speed on the floor manual transmission 390CU V8 big block * 1966 F100 on a F250 chassy * Long bed with passenger side locking tool box * RARE factory 4x4 with locking hubs...but the front drive shaft and transfer case have been removed for 2wd only. I do not have them. * The locking hubs rotate easily * New 35 inch BF Goodwrich All Terrain tires * Guy I bought it from in November just serviced the brakes, engine, new air cleaner, new battery, new front bumper. * The body has some rust spots but overall it's in VERY good condition. * The body is straight. (The gaps are even on both sides where the tail gate meets the bed) * Factory A/C blower * Suspension lift (Not sure hot many inches but it's very tall) * No rips or tears in the seats. * Custom roll bar * Tow package * Rust is absent or minimal on the "usual" spots that these models are prone to. (Driver and passenger outside feet area by that vent) * Wipers have been disconnected because they won't turn off. I never had time to figure out why they don't work properly * The truck isn't perfect...but it's running and just needs some TLC. Why am I selling it: I changed jobs to stay Stateside and was going to use it as my daily driver. But my local job fell through and I'm back working overseas. My plan was to slowly restore it over the next few years. But since I'm back working overseas...I really don't need this project anymore. I bought the truck at the end of 2013 from a dealer in Daytona. I really only owned it for a few months. I really don't want to sell it but I'm out of the country for several months at a time. There's no need for this kind of project. The truck is currently at my dad's house in Davie, FL. He'll be showing the truck. Disclaimer: I am listing this truck locally and it also has a 'For Sale' sign in it. I'll remove the E-bay listing if I sell it locally. I am not a moto-gear head. I might be missing some minor detail that needs replaced or fixing. But the truck, overall, is in GREAT condition. Please feel free to ask me any questions and thanks for looking. Scott |

Cheap gas has Ford investors nervous over 2015 F-150
Wed, Dec 17 2014Gasoline in the US continues its weeks-long descent with prices down about 13 cents a gallon over last week to $2.544, which is lower by around 69 cents/gallon from this time last year, according to the US Energy Information Administration. Many drivers are welcoming the lower bills at the gas station as a fantastic holiday gift, but Ford investors are somewhat spooked over the potential sales implications for the 2015 F-150. Market analyst Rod Lache of Deutsche Bank recently downgraded Ford's stock from a buy to hold, according to TheDetroitBureau.com, and his report to investors may have played a part in a drop in the company's share price. Lache praised the truck's powertrain and lightweight technology, but wrote, "We question whether consumers will pay the price for this content with $2-$3 gas," in his report, according to the website. Whether buyers actually turn away from the F-150 is mostly speculative at this point because it only recently began production. With around 700 pounds of weight loss thanks in parts to its new aluminum parts, the latest Ford pickup offers up to 26 miles per gallon on the highway, plus segment-best payload and towing ratings. Prices are up somewhat in part to pay for additional standard features, though. Still, any further dip in Ford's stock is bad news this year. According to TheDetroitBureau.com, the company's shares are down about 7.5 percent this year. On December 15, the price fell to $14.28, the lowest since November 10. Related Video:
Ken Block and friends race light in silly-beautiful Castrol commercial
Wed, 28 May 2014How does one make fast, loud, drifting cars better? Well, you can add more fast, loud, drifting cars or you can add lasers. Either or, really. In this case, Castrol did the right thing and added both, creating a highly stylized commercial for its Edge Titanium motor oil starring South African racer Adrian Zaugg, BMW factory driver Augusto Farfus, Audi DTM and Le Mans staple Mike Rockenfeller and some bloke named Ken Block.
Their cars? No surprise, but Block is in his Ford Fiesta GRC, while Zaugg samples a Lamborghini Aventador and Farfus and Rockenfeller drive along party lines, with a BMW M4 and an Audi R8, respectively. And those cars look good, too, thanks to the creative light and laser work on display.
Take a look below for the video from Castrol.
Question of the Day: Worst year of the Malaise Era?
Thu, Jun 23 2016The Malaise Era for cars in the United States spanned the 1973 through 1983 model years, and featured such abominations as a Corvette with just 205 horsepower (from the optional engine!) and MGBs with suspensions jacked way up to meet new headlight-height requirements. There were many low points throughout this gloomy period, of course. The horrifyingly low power and fuel-economy numbers for big V8s during the middle years of the Malaise Era make a strong case for 1974 or 1975— the years of Nixon's resignation and the Fall of Saigon, respectively— as the most Malaisey years. But then the GM-pummeling debacles of the Chevy Citation and Cadillac Cimarron could make an early-1980s year the low point. 1979, the year of the ignominious Chrysler bailout? You choose!
