1971 Ford F100 2wd Custom on 2040-cars
Medford, Oregon, United States
This is a clean west coast truck that has had everything mechanically gone through. I have driven the truck the last couple of years and it is a very reliable/fast truck that is happy hauling junk to the dump, or out for a Friday night at the drags. The ENG(460) was gone through and upgraded with the following; reground crank, CJ/Truck rods, Probe forged pistons, custom MECH flat tappet cam, Comp Cams EDM lifters, Trend P/Rods, DOVE casting cyl heads that have been professionally ported, 2.19INT vlvs and 1.75 EXH vlvs, Crower vlv springs, Titainium Retainers, Crower locks & lash caps, 3/8" guide plates, & PRW 1.8 roller rockers. The intake is a Ford Racing 'dual plane' Hi-Rise with a 850 Holley that has QFT Billet metering blocks. The Ignition starts with a curved Ford Duraspark dist, MSD coil, & MSD 6AL box. The headers are Hooker Super Comp leading into a 3" exh sysytem with Dynomax muffs. The trans is a C6 with the Ford Motorsport 'wide ratio' gear train, TCI valve body, ACC 10" torque converter, Ford Motorsport 'deep sump' trans pan,& a Hurst Quarter stick shifter. The driveline has been upgraded to a 3.5" custom built peice that uses "1350" style HD Spicer u-joints. The rearend housing is from a Lincoln Contenetial with 31spline axles, Moser "N" case, Motive "full spool",& 4.11 gears. The fuel system was upgraded by adding a 1/2" pick-up line into the tank, Carter Super Pump elec fuel pump, and 1/2" line up to the engine. The radiator is a 'direct fit' alum/plastic version with a Hayden custom mounted fan, and a LONG brand trans cooler. The truck runs cool! The brakes have all been completly gone through (11X3" front 11X3" rear), the steering is tight, the rear shocks are Rancho 9000 series adjustable peices, and the front tires were just recently changed out to Coker 'Pro Trac' competition versions. All in all this truck is a blast to drive and if desired someone could finish it off with a paint job and some minor cosmetic trim peices. The body is decent, some minor dents/dings, but no major damage. Unlike a lot of these trucks I have seen advertised on EBAY, this truck has ran at the dragstrip not just estimates! I have timeslips to back it up. With Nitto DOT tires it has clicked off 13.20's, and with a pair of M/T slicks, 12.70's. These runs were acclomplished in FULL street trim(mufflers, timing, fuel,etc)! I hate to let the truck go, but other projects demand it. Any questions, feel free to ask. Thanks for looking...............

Weekly Recap: Marchionne's Manifesto again calls for industry consolidation
Sat, May 2 2015Sergio Marchionne isn't taking no for an answer. Despite public rebuffs from General Motors and Ford, the leader of Fiat Chrysler Automobiles continues to push for consolidation within the auto industry. His latest assertion came Wednesday when he said a combination of FCA with another automaker could net savings of $5 billion or more annually. No, this isn't about selling his company, he claimed, it's about cutting costs. Put simply, the auto industry wastes money, Marchionne said during FCA's earnings conference call. Companies invest billions to develop basic components that all cars use, but many consumers don't care how they work or recognize the differences. "About half of this is really relevant in terms of positioning the car in the marketplace," he said. "The other half, in our view, is stuff which is neither visible to the consumer nor is it relevant to the consumer." In 2014, top automakers spent more than $100 million on product development, FCA estimated. Marchionne said consolidation could save up to $1 billion on powertrains alone, noting that almost every automaker offers four- and six-cylinder engines. Not everyone has to make their own, he contended. "The consumer could not give a flying leap whose engines we are using because they are irrelevant to the buying decision." That's pretty provocative for enthusiasts, but less so for average consumers. Still, there are major differences in power and efficiency ratings, even among similar engines. Skeptics could argue consolidation would also weaken competition and reduce choices for car buyers. Marchionne stressed his presentation, curiously entitled Confessions of a Capital Junkie, wouldn't require closing factories or dealerships. It's not his final "big deal" as CEO, intent to sell FCA, or a way to elevate his company up the automotive food chain. He claims he wants to fundamentally change the industry and its habit for burning cash. "The horrible part about this, and the thing that I find most offensive, is that the capital consumption rate is duplicative," he said. "It doesn't deliver real value to the consumer and it is in its purest form, economic waste."

Ford defends plan to shareholders: ‘We're simply reinventing the American car’
Fri, May 11 2018Ford's top executives took heat from shareholders over their plan to do away with sedans as we know them in Ford's North American lineup, as the company held its annual meeting Thursday. Critics said the plan to shelve the Fiesta, Focus and Taurus, reduce the Focus to one crossover model, and concentrate on high-margin trucks and SUVs was a shortsighted abandonment of entire market segments of affordable vehicles. "This doesn't mean we intend to lose those customers," Ford CEO Jim Hackett said. "We want to give them what they're telling us they really want. We're simply reinventing the American car." Ford has said SUVs/crossovers and pickups will constitute 90 percent of its North American lineup by 2020. And though only the Mustang and new Focus Active will remain, it plans to add new vehicles going forward that offer better fuel economy and utility, including EVs and hybrids. Hackett characterized the shift not as an abandonment of traditional cars but as a transformation of them. "We don't want anyone to think we're leaving anything," Hackett said. "We're just moving to a modern version. This is an exciting new generation of vehicles coming from Ford." It was Hackett's first annual meeting as CEO, and for the second year it was conducted online rather than in person. The change to Ford's lineup is part of Hackett's overall plan to cut $25.2 billion in costs by the year 2022. Executive Chairman Bill Ford Jr. blamed the negative reaction to the lineup plan on media coverage. "I wish the coverage had been a little different," he said. "If you got beyond the headline, you'll see we're adding to our product lineup and by 2020 we'll have the freshest showroom in the industry. The headlines look like Ford's retreating. In fact, nothing could be further from the truth." While Ford was clear about its plans for the Blue Oval, it has been less clear about the Lincoln brand. Hackett on Thursday said only that the Lincoln Continental, re-introduced just two years ago, would continue "through its life cycle" — but it has been such a slow seller that rumor has Ford killing the Continental again after that, and Hackett made no mention of a new generation. Presumably the MKZ sedan will go away when its twin the Ford Fusion does, but although Ford has outlined end dates for other models, the Fusion's departure is open-ended. The stock price has been a frustration for investors for years and has fallen 12 percent since the first of the year.
Ford to pay $17.35 million over Escape recall
Thu, 01 Aug 2013Ford had a bit of a recall spree around this time last year, with a pair of issues on the then-new 2013 Escape, followed by a recall of 423,000 2001 to 2004 Escapes because they might accelerate of their own accord. Accordingly, Uncle Sam pasted Ford with a $17.35 million fine because it took too long to inform customers, according to a report from Automotive News.
Ford agreed to settle with the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, accepting the fine but not admitting fault. The recall, which afflicted Escapes with the 3.0-liter V-6 along with 217,000 Mazda Tributes from 2001 to 2006 and 2008, was due to faulty gas pedals that could stay down after a driver removed their foot.
Ford issued a statement regarding the fine, saying, "We take the safety of our customers seriously and continuously evaluate our processes for improvements. While we are confident in our current processes for quickly identifying and addressing potential vehicle issues, Ford agreed to this settlement to avoid a lengthy dispute with the government."
