This thing is amazing.

I am the second owner of this truck. It has been in Northern California it's whole life and always stored inside. I would say it fits into the category of trucks with a "patina" type paint surface due to the tiny, tiny bit of worn through paint but from 20 feet away, you can't tell the paint isn't prefect.

It even still has the original Car Lite windshield that came with the truck!

It has never been repainted. The rubber is also original and therefore is aged and cracked in places and could use replacement. I didn't change the rubber because it adds to the originality in my opinion. There is a slight dent in the RF fender but it really is a pushed in spot that did not even damage the paint and it does not show up in the pictures. Another tiny dent in the lower part of the tailgate where the PO missed hooking up his boat to the tow hitch. Otherwise, the body is amazing. There is absolutely NO RUST! The bed was covered by a shell for awhile so even the paint in the bed is fantastic.

The engine is the original 352 CI V8, a C6 automatic transmission that was rebuilt about 9k miles ago by the PO (I have the receipt), 2WD, long bed. I did a valve job on the heads and added hardened valve seats. The engine leaks a little here and there but nothing bad at all.

I did change a few things to make it more drivable: I added HEI style distributor, added used stainless hub caps and trim rings to the stock wheels. I replaced the stock front drums with the front power disk brakes, booster and dual master cylinder and proportioning valve, column, and power steering from a 1973 Ford F100. I added new stock size tires, replaced the original floor mat with a new reproduction. I replaced the old seat cover with a new seat cover with Ford embossed logo as original. I added a new chrome rear bumper and removed the old Barden type shown in the pictures.

It has a clear California title and the registration is good until May of 2014.

FYI: The newer radio works but the prior owner cut the dash to install it.

I work in Canada so give me time to respond to emails, etc. The truck is located near Sacramento and I can arrange to have it viewed with some notice. This is a once in a lifetime chance to find an unmolested, drivable, original painted vintage truck. you won't be disappointed. Every time I am back in California, this is my daily driver. (all my other cars are older!)

I'm selling it because I have too many projects and I am tired of paying for storage. My 65 Ford F100 Crew Cab is next on the list!

 I also replaced the shocks and the exhaust. If you need additional pictures I can arrange to email them to you. (the last few pictures I uploaded show the new rear bumper and the trim rings and the engine shot. Oh yeah, and I use the truck as you can see!

You will have to arrange shipping but I could accommodate taking to somewhere in the nearby area if you needed me to. Good luck bidding.

Ford opens research center in Silicon Valley

Fri, Jan 23 2015

These days, the software running a vehicle's myriad of electronic systems seems to be getting nearly as much development focus from automakers as the traditional mechanical parts that keep a car going. Constantly improving that technology requires a lot of experimentation, though, and Ford is expanding its presence in Silicon Valley with the just-opened Research and Innovation Center Palo Alto to make that progress possible. Ford opened its first office in the country's technological hub in 2012 to draw talent and devise ways to deal with vast amounts of sensor data. Apparently, setting up shop in Silicon Valley was deemed a success because the Blue Oval decided to create this new lab in the Stanford Research Park to focus on five areas: connectivity, mobility, autonomous vehicles, customer experience and analytics. Among the center's potential projects, Ford is hoping to develop better natural speech recognition, which is absolutely vital for improving infotainment systems. Assuming the tech eventually works well enough, your voice might even be used to adjust a vehicle's power seats, according to the automaker. The Blue Oval is also letting engineers from Stanford University test autonomous driving algorithms on a self-driving version of the Fusion. In a smaller stakes venture, researchers are working to get a Nest smart thermometer to automatically adjust the temperature at home depending on if an owner's vehicle is leaving or coming back. To really show that its serious about these ventures, Ford hired Dragos Maciuca away from Apple as the center's technical leader. The automaker also wants to have 125 researchers at work there by the end of the year.

Ford CEO Jim Hackett reviewing the future of technology, Lincoln, overseas markets

Mon, Jul 31 2017

By Paul Lienert and Joseph White Ford Chief Executive Jim Hackett is reviewing the automaker's operations in India and other markets, as well as Ford's future product programs including plans to build a self-driving commercial vehicle in 2021. Hackett, who took over as CEO in May, has told investors he is working on a 100-day review of Ford's operations but has so far provided few details of the process, except to indicate that it is looking at the automakers' luxury vehicle strategy, the future of its small vehicles and investments in emerging markets. Ford Chief Financial Officer Bob Shanks told Reuters in an interview that the review covers a range of issues, including Ford's strategy for India. "We have a lot of work to do (as) we address issues of how to fix India," Shanks said. "Everything is on the table." General Motors in May said it would stop selling cars in India but continue to produce vehicles there for export. Shanks said no decisions have been made and noted that Ford has a larger business in India than GM did. "We are very cognizant that will be the third-largest market in the world," he said. "Some big decisions will be made," Shanks said, but he cautioned Ford may not disclose all those decisions at the end of the 100-day review. Hackett is addressing challenges that have contributed to a nearly 8 percent decline in Ford's share price this year. The review of the Lincoln luxury brand includes whether current plans will meet former CEO Mark Fields' ambitious targets for growth and revenue, people familiar with the process said. Ford has set a target of putting a self-driving shuttle into commercial ride-sharing fleets by 2021. Hackett is reviewing the investment and timing for that project, the sources said. Hackett also assessing whether to reduce and consolidate production of models such as the Fiesta subcompact and two midsized sedans that are built in multiple locations around the world, but are experiencing slowing demand. One proposal would shift production of the next-generation Mondeo midsized sedan from Europe to Mexico, where it would share an assembly line with its sibling, the Ford Fusion, avoiding the cost of retooling two plants. Shortly after he took charge, Hackett approved a proposal to shift production of the next-generation Focus for North America from Mexico to China, saving the company an estimated $500 million by consolidating two factories into one.

Ford builds Lightweight Concept with Fusion shell [w/video]

Wed, 04 Jun 2014

It's a fairly well known fact that removing weight from a car is essentially a panacea for many of the modern automobiles problems. Does it handle like crap? Remove weight. Underpowered? Don't add power; trim the fat. Need to improve fuel economy? It's diet time.
Actually executing a major weight reduction program, though, much like with human beings, is no easy task. Unlike you or I, where motivation is the issue, the prohibitive measure in trimming a car's waistline is money. Lightweight materials are expensive, with carbon fiber and carbon-fiber reinforced plastic still primarily in the domain of higher end vehicles. Even aluminum construction, pioneered on a mass-produced level by Audi and Jaguar, is only now starting to make its way into the mainstream, thanks to the upcoming Ford F-150.
With this concept, though, Ford is attempting to show that a mass-produced, lightweight vehicle isn't too far off. This is the Lightweight Concept, and while it may look like a Fusion, it weighs as much as a Fiesta. For reference, the lightest Fusion available to the public is the 3,323-pound, 2.5-liter model with a manual transmission. A manually equipped, 1.6-liter Fiesta, meanwhile, is just 2,537 pounds.
