Make: Ford
Drive Type: 2WD
Model: F-100
Mileage: 100,000
Trim: Sport Custom
Up for auction here is a very clean original 1971 Ford F-100 Sport Custom. I bought the truck a year and a half ago with a bad motor in it and has been my weekend project. The truck originally had a 390 V8 and C6 trans. The 390 dropped a rod so it was not rebuildable. It is now equipped with a 302 and a New C4 trans with a nice mild shift kit. Power steering and power disc brakes. I did a full tear down and inspected everything and it has new comp cam and lifters, timing chain, oil pump, and bearings. The cylinders looked great. It was not a full rebuild. Still the original rings and heads. I knew the history of this motor. It was pulled from an 82 mustang GT, and ran quite well when pulled. But it runs awesome now great power and runs this truck down the road very nice. Has a 600 four barrel Holley carb, edelbrock performer intake, ford racing shorty headers, electronic ignition, all new full length flowmaster dual exhaust. All new hoses, belts, water pump, fuel pump, rebuilt radiator. As I said above it also has a rebuilt C4 auto trans with mild shift kit, new u joints as well. I also converted the fron suspension over to disc brakes, replaced the radius arm bushing as well at the time. Truck drives down the road smooth true and slight. Just put new tires on it on the last 1000 miles too. All of this work has no more than 3000 miles on it. The truck it self has just 100K on it. The odometer reading when I bought it was just 97k. And based on the condition I truly believe that is actual miles. It bares 90% of the original paint, its thin on the hood and top but I get two thumbs up every where I drive it. I had the seat reupholstered in orignal style, as well as replaced the rubber floor mat, it all shows very well. It also has a rare factory AM-FM radio that works great. As you can see it has cab lights, which are factory, uncommon for a F-100 obvesely a special order truck when it was new. It originated from the Seattle Wa area when new, but I bought it here locally. It does have some rust in the passenger floor area, but other than that, anything else is just surface. The windshield is also cracked but not in the line of sight. Its a tight solid truck. Bed is super straight and has ben line-xed. Its never been abused. Everything works lights, horn, lighter etc.... I really hate to see it go after all the time I have spent on it, but I have just recently moved and don't have the place to store it. And I have other projects that I need the space for. Its currently parked at a friends house now, so when I want to drive it I have to rotate vehicles around, not to convient. This truck is ready to go and be your daily driver I ve done everything I could to make it 100% reliable. Ive taken it on three 300 mile round trip road trips and it runs like a champ. Its just time for someone else to enjoy it. So please bid with confidence, its hard to remember everything, so please feel free to ask. Thanks ands happy bidding.

Ford hiring 800 more salaried workers than originally expected
Wed, 24 Jul 2013Ford is on a roll this year, with excellent quarterly earnings and better-than-expected vehicle sales leading to 800 more job opportunities with the Blue Oval. In January, Ford announced that it wanted to hire 2,200 salaried employees, but, since then, that figure has been revised to 3,000, representing a 36-percent increase over original projections. About 1,500 of those jobs remain, 80 percent of which are technical professional positions.
"Engineers and technical professionals are in as much demand as our cars, trucks and SUVs," says Felicia Fields, Ford Group Vice President for Human Resources. Helping to spur this job growth are increasing market share on both the West and East Coast and robust demand for the Ford Escape and F-150.
To find job candidates, Ford is reaching out to them via Facebook, Twitter and LinkedIn, in addition to the company's corporate career site. The Blue Oval is also ramping up its presence on college campuses.
24 Hours of Le Mans live update part one
Sat, Jun 18 2016We tasked surfing journalist Rory Parker to watch this year's live stream of the 2016 24 Hours of Le Mans. What follows is an experiment to experience the world's greatest endurance race from the perspective of a motorsports novice with a profanity-laden stream-of-consciousness writing style. Parker lives in Hawaii and spends far more time spearfishing than behind the wheel of a car. Jump ahead to Part Two here, and Part Three here. Big Money and billionaire hobbyists and rockets on wheels. Jets belching French color smoke overhead. Balance of power fuckery. Plenty of water on the ground this morning. Absurdly expensive motorcars lined up in the pissing rain. Fast twitch lunatics behind the wheel. Chomping at the bit. Let's go let's go let's go! Race hasn't even started, Ford #67 maybe dealing with clutch issues. Karma? That beautiful bastard Brad Pitt's out on the track, waving the tricolor flag. It's a standing start in "Noah's Ark" weather and the 2016 24 hours of Le Mans is go! First lap takes place behind the safety car, finished in a record setting 8 minutes 27 seconds. Wrong kind of record maybe, but this is the first time I've set my mind to watching the whole damn race. Feel like I'm part of history. 3:00 AM on Kauai, a little too early for life. Sucking down coffee like a maniac. Don't fall back asleep. Got my hands on four hours of rest, how much more can I need? Better be enough for the next twenty four hours. Gonna get kinda punchy toward the end. Jason Statham on the scene. Four feet of solid muscle, non-existent hairline. Lovely wife peanut gallery sitting next to me calls him the "best race car drive in the world." Not sure if she's serious. Toss up, could go either way. Statham's a funny guy. Heir to the Bruce Willis comedy action crown. Really good in the movie where the fat comedy lady plays a spy. Ford's on the road. Problems with gearbox pressure, apparently. Nearing a half hour in and the safety car is still on the track. Hellish amounts of water on the ground, in the air. Visibility is garbage. Getting better. Twitter wags, "Not with a bang but a whimper." Just building suspense. Mother Nature felt like killing some people today, race officials need to dial back the drivers until it dries a tad. Normal inclination would've seen 'em flying, guaranteed early lap wrecks. Sad news for that bloodthirsty part of my lizard brain I try and keep suppressed. Good news for humanity. #12 in the pit for a bit.
Ford recalling nearly 5,700 2014 F-150s for power steering issue
Wed, 25 Jun 2014Ford is recalling 5,675 of its 2014 F-150 pickups over an issue with the electric power steering system. There haven't been any injuries or accidents due to the issue.
Ford spokesman Mike Levine told Autoblog that the "electric power-assisted steering and motor position sensor gear were incorrectly installed by a supplier," leading to the recall.
While the recall is larger on the surface, it's important to note that only 260 trucks have been delivered to customers. The remaining pickups are currently en route to dealers. The affected vehicles were manufactured between May 26 and June 19.
