1968 Ford F-100 Custom Cab A/c Automatic Short Bed 360 V8 78,649 Original Miles on 2040-cars
Casa Grande, Arizona, United States

This truck was purchased new in Coolidge AZ in 1968 and remained there. The rear bumper still has the original Dealership sticker on it. It says Alexander Auto Sales Coolidge AZ. The original owner sold this to his friend right before his death seven years ago.His friend was also an older gentleman and did not drive the truck. His family started it and took it for a few rides just to keep the battery charged and the gas fresh. This truck has 78,649 original miles and has a Box A title. It has the 360 V8 with Automatic transmission. It's a short bed with Custom Cab. It has the dealer installed A/C (no such thing as factory a/c in 68) The A/C fan blows good and hard but the compressor does not engage I'm sure it's low on freon. But the compressor turns by hand and feel good. Would be best to convert to the 134 anyways. If I can get my hands on some R12 I'll charge it and update the listing. The original owners manual is still in the glove box. The jack is still mounted under the hood and the jack handle is still behind the seat. The undercarriage looks the same as when it rolled off of the assembly line in 1968. The floor mat is even original. Yes there are some dings and small dents but for a 46 year old truck I'm positive you will never find another truck this rust free and with such low mileage. The tires are weathered and will need to be replace. Those are the original hubcaps. I'm sure i'm forgetting a lot so feel free to email with any questions or send me your phone number or I will send you mine. Will be posting a link to Youtube so you can hear it running and get a better look. Again I seriously doubt you will ever fine another truck in as original condition as this one.

Ford profits soar as problems mount
Mon, 19 Aug 2013Ford is doing well. It can't make enough examples of its new Fusion, it can barely make enough of the aging F-150, it's getting good brand rankings, people like its turnaround story, it's selling oodles of product and its quarterly profit numbers end in the word "billion." As other high-flying examples have demonstrated over the past few years, though, big numbers can come with problems that aren't exactly small.
Automotive News has published a good "nutshell" report of Ford's progress and problems. The Dearborn automaker's optimistic "general label rule" determination of gas mileage for the C-Max Hybrid has led to lawsuits, hybrid software updates, a downward revision of C-Max fuel economy and millions in rebates. AN notes the C-Max was the "worst-scoring model in this year's J.D. Power Initial Quality Study," but Ford will probably be happy that it managed not to be mentioned further in the study's results after last year's mediocre showing. Its MyTouch and SYNC systems, the bugbears sabotaging Ford's J.D. Power results, have also led to lawsuits, software updates, more software updates and a center console rethink. On top of that, the 1.6-liter EcoBoost in the 2013 Ford Escape that Ford called a "hero" was soon catching fire for three different reasons. And let's not even get into the troubled launch of the Lincoln MKZ.
The Automotive News piece notes that industry observers have been surprised at Ford's stumbles because everything has been looking so good. Nevertheless, there is still the issue of those billions in profits - the company is doing plenty of things, plural, right. Ford says it is tackling its problems, hiring engineers and instituting new quality control processes as part of its effort to find solutions. The test will be to see if in a year from now we begin the discussion of these issues with "Remember when Ford...", or "Problems continue at The Blue Oval."

Ford lowers MPG ratings on six vehicles
Thu, 12 Jun 2014Ford has announced that it will be lowering the fuel economy ratings on a number of its 2013 and 2014 model year vehicles after an error was discovered in the company's internal testing data. The EPA has been notified.
Worryingly for Ford, the vast majority of the vehicles affected are hybrids, including the C-Max, Fusion and MKZ in both hybrid and plug-in varieties (where applicable). Also covered as part of the rerating is the entire lineup of 2014 Fiesta engines, with the exception of the ST, including the turbocharged, three-cylinder EcoBoost.
The C-Max was originally rated at 47/47/47 mpg, but dropped to 43/45/40 last year and now to 40/42/37.
