Kennewick, Washington, United States
Vehicle Title:Clear
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.

GM readying aluminum-body fullsize pickups
Wed, 19 Feb 2014Ford's extensive use of aluminum in its 2015 F-150 is a big deal. A really big deal. Big enough, in fact, that General Motors is reportedly changing its fullsize pickup strategy. According to The Wall Street Journal, The General has locked in partnerships with Alcoa Inc. and Novelis Inc. - companies that will supply aluminum for the next-generation Chevrolet Silverado and GMC Sierra trucks.
"Ford's introduction of the 2015 F-150 pickup truck was a game changer, and it's the first, not the last, conversion of this type," Novelis spokesperson Charles Belbin told the Journal. The switch to aluminum has allowed Ford to shave roughly 700 pounds off its fullsize truck's curb weight. And while official mileage ratings have not been announced, the weight loss should go a long way for improving efficiency, especially when combined other efficiency-minded improvements including better aerodynamics and new, turbocharged V6 engines.
Of course, aluminum-bodied cars are nothing new. But extensive use of aluminum in a major, best-selling product like the Ford F-150 is expected to kick off widespread use of this weight-saving material as availability rises and cost decreases. The WSJ reports that GM had originally explored the idea of moving to aluminum pickups back in 2008, but abandoned the idea due to cost concerns amid economic woes.
Ford unveils next-gen S-Max in Europe
Tue, 16 Sep 2014Let's get this unfortunate though important tidbit out of the way right off the bat: The Ford S-Max isn't sold in the United States, and it's not coming here, at least not anytime soon. And so it's with our European friends in mind that we share this information about the next-gen S-Max (previewed about a year ago in concept form) that is set to debut all across Europe next year and will be shown off at the upcoming Paris Motor Show. Now, moving on...
As with the first-gen S-Max, the new model will boast seating for seven passengers, along with a decent amount of storage space, all packed into a relatively reasonably sized package. Powering the front wheels (or optionally all four) will be the buyer's choice of EcoBoost gasoline-turbocharged or turbo-diesel four-cylinder engines along with automatic and manual transmission options. Included in the mix is a new 1.5-liter EcoBoost with 160 horsepower, though the 240-horse 2.0 is likely to be seen as the headliner.
There are all kinds of new technologies on offer, ranging from Adaptive Steering to Dynamic LED Headlamps with Glare-Free Highbeams, and it's all housed inside new, more sleekly designed bodywork riding atop a chassis with new suspension architecture designed to make the S-Max a people-hauler that's still fun to drive. For all the details, we suggest you scroll down below to read through Ford's official press release.
Reborn Ford Escort could make its way to Europe
Fri, 26 Apr 2013The Ford Escort concept just unveiled at the Shanghai Motor Show was created with the Chinese market in mind, but it's got people talking all over the world. Not purely fancy, the point of the Escort concept was to give Chinese buyers a preview of what they could expect to see in a Ford showroom in the near future. If Ford wasn't seriously considering the new Escort for other countries, a report in Auto Express indicates that the concept's reception has changed all that.
No less than the incoming chairman of Ford UK said "it could work in other places," bolstering the comments of "a senior Ford insider" who said the question of bringing the car to Europe to slot in underneath the Focus had been raised. That's a long way from anything of the kind happening, which would require Ford to figure out how to sell it for the right price and not torpedo the company reputation among Euro buyers. In any case, we'd be as intrigued as anyone if an Escort resurrection created the next 'who knew?' market segment of few-frills transportation offered by non-Asian carmakers.
