1969 Ford F100 No Reserve!
New paint, rated at a 7.5/10 very minor scratches, original chrome shows age, Interior painting is 95% complete. Tailgate was not painted, two tailgates come with the truck. The original and a replacement; both tailgates have working mechanical parts. Paint numbers will be sent with the truck to paint to match the truck. It would take a quart of paint to finish the tailgate. The exhaust has a leak, needs new mufflers or you could straight pipe, x-pipe, do whatever you like. Interior: the dash is cracked, you can buy it new from NPD for a few hundred dollars it is glued and has nuts on the backside for removal. This truck does have AC and it does work. New rims and tires, 90% of chrome trim is back on the truck, needs new rearview mirror. The steering wheel is from a GM vehicle (not my doing). Needs headliner, this truck was used as my daily driver since April before I started to paint it a month ago. Paint is nice but not professional. This truck ones complete could be taken to shows. I will include a new catalog from NPD for new parts they are pretty reasonable with pricing for most items. This truck is originally a Texas truck and has no rust issues. Manual steering and brakes means this is a real mans truck. Every option on this truck works, radio, ac, speedometer, tilt steering column, all windows roll up and down, vent windows open. Driver's door vent window latch missing the rubber to completely close it, once again NPD part is about 10 dollars. I am owner 3 of the truck, it was a farm truck for 27 years before the previous owner started to restore the truck. Truck runs and drives well and true, newer brakes transmission shifts with ease. 4-Speed with Granny gear, I believe its a t-19 transmission. Dash has not been cut for the aftermarket radio original equipment will still fit perfectly. Biggest need for the truck is a rear window seal. There isn't one the rear window is not in the truck, it is in perfect shape however, and could be installed easily once a new rubber gasket is purchased. A new seal is about 40 dollars. All the things that need to be done to the truck are minor and should cost less than a hundred dollars. All the major work has been done already. The bed of the truck was not cleared so that a spray in liner could be put in. It is best to have a rough surface when installing a spray in liner. Sorry I don't have any newer pictures. The grill and bumpers are back on as well as the wheel trim and most of the other chrome trim as well as both mirrors.
Needs: Rear window seal, paint for tailgate, bed liner, minor cosmetic materials for the interior, and new mufflers if you wanted. Yes that's it, I know I made it sound like it needs a lot of work, I am just trying to be honest and thorough. Depending on time you have available you could finish this in a couple of weeks.
New: Paint, tires, rims, brakes, engine enamel, valve covers, bench seat. Probably a lot more that I can't think of right now, I've been typing for what feels like ever.
Plus: no rust!
Please feel free to ask any questions you may have, I am here to help, on a side note; the funds from the sale of this truck will be going towards my wedding next July! So I need all the money I can get so bid 'er up! I know this truck will make for an easy project, it was for me when I was working on it. This truck is extremely solid and I'm sad to let it go, but adulthood calls.
I will help with setting up the shipping once you find a carrier, I've done this a few times I can give some advice if you need it. Just here to help.
Thank you for looking and hopefully bidding!

Diesel Power finds the ultimate modified oil-burner
Sat, 24 Aug 2013For nine years, Diesel Power magazine has run the Diesel Power Challenge, this year's grindfest being "a week-long torture test that features seven events, nine trucks, 8,000 horsepower, and nearly 15,000 pound-feet of torque." The road to being crowned "the most powerful truck" starts with a dyno run, and then continues through the completion of a CDL-style obstacle course, an eighth-of-a-mile drag race while towing a 10,000-pound trailer, a quarter-mile drag race without a trailer, a fuel economy test in the mountains and finally a sled-pulling test through a 300-foot-long packed-mud pit.
What kind of trucks get into such a fight? Last year's winner, for instance - who upgraded his truck this year to prove he didn't "luck into the win" - drives a 2008 Ford F-250 Super Duty with a 6.4-liter Power Stroke V8 upgraded with a custom intake, Elite Diesel triple turbos and a two-stage nitrous system. Another competitor has a 2005 Dodge Ram 2500 powered by a 5.9-liter Cummins inline-six, upgraded with Garrett turbos, dual-stage nitrous, a seven-inch exhaust stack and twin fans built into the bed to cool the Sun Coast Omega transmission. The numbers on that truck: 1,255 horsepower, and 2,063 pound-feet of torque at the wheels. Naturally, as the image above might suggest, things don't always end well.
You'll find all five videos covering this years challenge below. A scene in the dyno video sums it all up perfectly: a competitor leaves his nitrous on too long and the crew is treated to some ominous poppings, he leans out the window, throws both hands up and shouts, "Amer'ca!"
Get a taste of Ford GT ownership from Dust Devils
Thu, Jan 1 2015It seems that the automotive world might be right on the cusp of getting some kind of follow-up to the Ford GT. It might not be called the GT or even use the coupe's retro look, but rumors point to such a beast being on the way. If the future halo model can inspire as much adoration among fans as the previous ones, then the Blue Oval is sure to have another winner on its hands. To get idea just how closely GT owners are bonded to their cars, take a ride with the participants in the ninth Ford GT National Rally in this short documentary titled Dust Devils. The owners convened with over 80 of the retro supercars in Las Vegas, NV, to admire the coupes and give them a workout on the desert roads. It's especially nice to see the drivers of these limited production Fords unafraid to take their cars to the track and stretch their legs a little.

The long, low-slung look is simultaneously menacing and lithe, and the growl from the latest model's supercharged V8 is nothing to complain about either. Get just the slightest taste of what it's like to have one of these halo Fords in this clip, from the people that love them the most.

Ford builds two-millionth EcoBoost engine
Tue, 17 Sep 2013Ford's EcoBoost engine lineup is only four years old, but it is growing into an important and popular global engine. As proof of its popularity, Ford just produced its 2 millionth EcoBoost engine - a 2.0-liter inline four-cylinder - which rolled off the assembly line in Louisville, Kentucky under the hood of an Escape.
Ford now offers five EcoBoost engines around the world ranging from the 1.0-liter inline-three to the twin-turbo 3.5-liter V6, and the automaker is expanding production of two of its engine lines to keep up with demand. Earlier this year, Ford announced that the 2.0-liter EcoBoost would be built in Cleveland, Ohio starting in 2014 and, more recently, Ford said that it will be doubling production of the 1.0-liter EcoBoost in Germany. That turbo-three will also be produced in China at a new Ford engine plant in Chongqing.
Scroll down for Ford's full press release on this EcoBoost production milestone, including a breakdown of where all the engines were made.
