1972 Ford F100 Explorer Package. This is a really neat, mostly original truck. I have driven it mostly as a "go to the hardware store" truck for the past year. Starts right up and has never left me stranded. Strong 390 V8 engine and a good shifting 3 speed automatic. Engine sounds very good and the exhaust has been dumped near the rear axle. Sounds mean. This truck has alot of options. See below as I think it has all options from package A through D. Some are missing now (hubcaps and bright box rails), but as you can see, came with alot of special package items. From decoding the VIN the truck was manufactued in February of 1972 in Kansas City and ordered by the Dallas district. Golden Rod Yellow paint with Medium Ginger interior and black mat flooring. 4,550 GVW and it looks like this truck has the special "helper shackles/springs" for that little bit of extra carrying or towing capacity. All of the gauges work, the odometor still works and is showing 11,513.4 at the time of listing. I can only assume this to be 111,513 miles. I will say that the truck looks very good for a 44 year old truck. Now, there are several dings and dents over the entire truck and the paint is not showroom condition by any means, but, overall it looks very shiny and in good shape. As you will see in the pics, the front drivers side fender looks to have been repainted at one time and it has not kept the same shade of yellow over the years. Additionally, this truck has AC and it still blows (compressor not turning by belt) but the unit under the dash still turns on and blows. I have the correct belt for the compressor and it will be included with the sale. Compressor does turn freely. I repaired the top AC suction line as it was cracked and I can only guess that this was the reason for the AC not working. I have not tried to charge it since the belt is not on. But, it may be just a belt installed, charge and you have a working AC. Has an aftermarket radio and 4 speakers with nice wooden cabinets. 2 under the dash and 2 in the B pillers of the cab. The seat is in great shape on the top/back section, the bottom section is in need of repair so a bench seat cover was put on. But the top section literally looks just a few years old underneath. Has a set of later model chrome factory wheels with a very good set of Cooper tires. Lots of tread left. Has a recently replaced alternator. All of the exterior lights work. Turn signals work as well as brake lights. I replaced the side marker lights with a nice chrome set on the back of the bed. So, if you are looking for an almost all original truck this is a good one. Most if not all of the trim is still on the truck. It does look like it came with bed top rails from the below article, this truck does not have them. The holes are there but rails long gone. Will need a new dash pad or the old one just taken off as it is cracked. The windsheild also has a crack in it. Windows roll up and down good and the locks work. The shifter on the column is a little persinickity at times but shifts. Looks like the arrow and the letters sometimes don't line up so you just have to make sure you are in the correct R, N, P, or D. Not a big deal but wanted to point that out. Good luck and feel free to contact me if you have any other questions. Will load as many pics as I can through ebay. If you are the winning bidder I require a $500.00 to be sent via PayPal within 24 hours. The balance either through cash or bank wire within 7 days. Clear Oklahoma Title on hand. I will assist with loading truck for shipping in Edmond, OK or will deliver for an additional $300.00 anywhere along I-35 (within 5 miles east or west of I-35) from OKC to Dallas as I travel this route weekly for business.

Ford offering factory-spec EcoBoost reflashes that don't void warranty*
Sat, Dec 27 2014Buy a supercharger or cold-air kit from Ford Racing and a Performance Calibration handset comes with it to reset the ECU for the upgrade. Now Ford Racing is offering the ProCal handset a la carte for $595, allowing you to reflash the ECU on your EcoBoost-equipped ride to extract more of its inherent capabilities without any additional upgrades. It gives you control of variables such as throttle response, idle speed and turbo wastegate control, among others. As for that warranty asterisk, the press release says enthusiasts can up the power "while maintaining the Ford-backed limited warranty." However Ford Motor Co. and Ford Racing are separate entities, and, best we can tell, when you reflash the ECU, your Ford warranty gets supplanted by the Ford Racing warranty. Say you bought a 2014 Ford, that means your five-year, 60,000-mile warranty becomes Ford Racing's three-year, 36,000-mile warranty, if we're reading the fine print correctly. If you have an older car and have driven more than 36,000 miles, then your warranty options are kaput, at least as far as a Ford in-house option. If have warranty concerns, you might also want to consider having a dealer perform the reflash, or at least ask about it. Once you've got past the small print, what about the numbers? At the moment Ford Racing offers tunes for the 2.0-liter EcoBoost in the Focus ST and the 1.6-liter EcoBoost in the Fiesta ST, and we're told there's a 90-pound-foot boost in torque at the crank after you've pressed the right buttons. Anecdotal evidence from a commenter at Road & Track says he went from 252 horsepower at the flywheel to 254 hp at the wheels, and 272 lb-ft at the flywheel to 354 lb-ft at the wheels, but we can't be sure that his adjustments were within Ford Racing specs. Your mileage, naturally, may vary. What about custom numbers for the 2.3-liter EcoBoost in the 2015 Ford Mustang? They aren't ready yet, but we're told we'll get something by the end of next year.

Weekly Recap: Audi pulls back the curtain on its future
Sat, Aug 22 2015The E-Tron Quattro concept is the future of Audi. It embodies all of the traits that will make the brand – and electric-powered luxury vehicles – more relevant into the 2020s. Here's why: The E-Tron Quattro concept, which will debut next month at the Frankfurt Motor Show, is a large sport utility vehicle that promises a range of 311 miles. It's an all-electric daily driver that fits the needs of most Americans. In production – which Audi says starts in 2018 – this vehicle will seat five and likely be called the Q6. You can take your family from Boston to Philadelphia without recharging. That's mainstream. We're moving away from the industry's "science experiment" era (as General Motors product chief Mark Reuss once described the appearance of the first gen-Chevy Volt) to a period where electric vehicles are plausible and practical for many US buyers. The 2018 Q6's only holdup for the masses will be price. But if you can afford an Audi SUV, you'll be able to buy an all-electric version. The E-Tron concept uses Volkswagen Group's second-generation modular longitudinal platform. The lithium-ion battery is located between the axles and below the cabin. Urquhart says the production model will feature the automaker's latest battery technology developed with LG Chem and Samsung. IHS Automotive projects the Q6 will sell more than 40,000 units annually by the end of the decade. "The E-Tron Quattro is a precursor for what will be an exciting and landmark production model for Audi and will position the brand at the forefront of the premium EV market," IHS analyst Tim Urquhart wrote in a commentary. It's the Tesla-zation of America. It's the Tesla-zation of America. The Q6 will be a Model X fighter, and expect other automakers to follow suit, particularly in the luxury sector with SUVs and other large vehicles. They offer more space for the battery packs, and development costs can be recovered easier. "Premium brands have an inbuilt advantage in terms of introducing [electric] powertrains over more mainstream automotive brands," Urquhart wrote. OTHER NEWS & NOTES Analyst says Tesla stock could be worth $465 a share Morgan Stanley analyst Adam Jonas sent shockwaves through the industry when he said Tesla stock has the potential to reach a whopping $465 a share. That's a leap from its $230.77 price at Friday's market close.
GM, Ford, Honda winners in 'Car Wars' study as industry growth continues
Wed, May 11 2016General Motors' plans to aggressively refresh its product lineup will pay off in the next four years with strong market share and sales, according to an influential report released Tuesday. Ford, Honda, and FCA are all poised to show similar gains as the auto industry is expected to remain healthy through the rest of the decade. The Bank of America Merrill Lynch study, called Car Wars, analyzes automakers' future product plans for the next four model years. By 2020, 88 percent of GM's sales will come from newly launched products, which puts it slightly ahead of Ford's 86-percent estimate. Honda (85 percent) and FCA (84 percent) follow. The industry average is 81 percent. Toyota checks in just below the industry average at 79 percent, with Nissan trailing at 76 percent. Car Wars' premise is: automakers that continually launch new products are in a better position to grow sales and market share, while companies that roll out lightly updated models are vulnerable to shifting consumer tastes. Though Detroit and Honda grade out well in the study, many major automakers are clumped together, which means large market-share swings are less likely in the coming years. Bank of America Merrill Lynch predicts the industry will top out with 20 million sales in 2018 and then taper off, perhaps as much as 30 percent by 2026. Not surprisingly, trucks, sport utility vehicles and crossovers will be the key battlefield in the next few years, Car Wars says. FCA will launch a critical salvo in 2018 with a new Ram 1500, followed by new generations of the Chevy Silverado and GMC Sierra in 2019, and then Ford's F-150 for 2020, according to the study. Bank of America Merrill Lynch analyst John Murphy said the GM trucks could be pulled ahead even earlier to 2018, prompting Ford to respond. "This focus on crossovers and trucks is a great thing for the industry," Murphy said. Cars Wars looks at Korean (76 percent replacement rate) and European companies more vaguely (70 percent), but argues their slower product cadence and lineups with fewer trucks puts them in weaker positions than their competitors through 2020.
