Super rare 72 Sport Custom Ford F100 shortbed, two tone, a/c, p/b, original CA truck.

I acquired this neat truck from the 2nd owner since 1976 (see original ca pink slip with date) on a ranch in central California. Test drove and , It ran great initially but was developing smoke from the left side. it turned out to be condensation, not smoke, and was diagnosed as the head gasket failing on that side. It is driveable , however starting it too much isn't wise with water in the system. Beyond that, this is a great truck. Brakes, trans, lights, heater, steering, etc... all seemed to be in good functioning condition. Truck is mostly rust free, and very solid. Main rust is surface area (mainly on the underside) only and I have documented the whole thing in pictures. I don't think there are any rust through, or even weak areas other then a small amount of battery acid corrosion in the tray directly under the battery itself. Extremely straight with no detected body fill or replaced panels. Just a 'good 'ol boy' truck that lived a dry CA ranch life. Not perfect, but hard to come by in this unmolested condition. For what it's worth, owner stated to me that the motor had very few miles on rebuild, but was 10 years ago. With a newer looking Eldebrock Carburator and a few other exterior components, owners integrity, and the way it ran and drove, I believe this to be true, but no documents exist to support it.

This would make an excellent start to a 'Patina' custom on a very RARE truck or a great candidate for a full resto.

Great opportunity to the right buyer.

Original CA blue plates, and small ca 'pink' slip title included.

Consumer Reports explains its disdain for infotainment

Thu, 20 Mar 2014

One of the perks of reviewing all manner of cars and trucks is that we're exposed to all the different infotainment systems. Whether Cadillac's CUE, Chrysler's UConnect, BMW's iDrive or MyFord Touch, we sample each and every infotainment system on the market.
Not surprisingly, some are better than others. It seems consumers have come to a similar consensus, with Consumer Reports claiming that Ford and Lincoln, Cadillac and Honda offer the worst user infotainment experiences. Not surprisingly, you won't find much argument among the Autoblog staff.
Take a look below to see just what it is about the latest batch of infotainment systems that grinds CR's gears. After that, scroll down into Comments and let us know if you agree with the mag's views.

Just in time for the holidays, Snowkhana 3 is here

Tue, Dec 9 2014

The gift list for the 12 Days of Christmas is frightfully heavy on birds, so surely no one will mind if we sub out the three French hens for Snowkhana 3. Ford of Europe is back with another stop-motion video that – like versions one and two – throws a 1:64-scale Ford Fiesta in Ken Block livery around a fabulous world of action figures and make believe. This year's video "drives rings around some of the biggest YouTube hits," so those of you who've lost years of your lives to the greatest distraction since the human navel can put your knowledge to use. For anyone else just catching up, we'll help you get rolling: the opening Snowkhana scene channels Stalking Cat. You'll find the rest of your holiday homework in the video.

Ford GT40 makes historic return to racing at Goodwood

Wed, 23 Oct 2013

Is there a more iconic, American racecar than the Ford GT40? That may be a discussion for another day (although by all means, tell us how wrong we are in Comments), but this video of heaps of GT40s running in the Goodwood Revival races certainly has us thinking that Ford's Ferrari-killer might just be the best racer the Land Of The Free and Home Of The Brave has ever come up with.
That's completely ignoring the fact that the GT40 was largely developed by Brits using American money, but that's besides the point (there was also a rather brash Texan, who had a big role later in development). The resulting vehicle was dominant, besting the cars of Il Commendatore from 1966 to 1969, although it should be noted that Ford's GT40 was unable to beat Ferrari in its first two Le Mans outings in 1964 and 1965.
Those four years of dominance, which started with Ford sweeping the podium, were enough to establish the GT40's legend. And now, here we are almost 50 years later, celebrating the mid-engined monsters at Goodwood, in their first ever one-make race. Take a look below for the entire video.
