  I'm listing this 1974 F100 for a close friend. I'll describe the truck as best I can,and let the pictures tell most of the story. This F100 would be an excellent base for restoration or to street rod.The truck has 19761 miles showing on the odometer,pretty sure that is NOT accurate,or at least is 119,761. It has a 302 v-8 that runs good and doesn't smoke,but has 3 small oil leaks. The transmission engages,shifts and pulls perfectly and the differential is smooth and tight.All of the gauge's as well as the dash and interior lights are in place and work as they should. The truck has good tire's @60% tread or better and the brakes work fine,save a VERY slight pedal pulse,probably from front rotors needing turned. The exterior overall is good for a vehicle of this age,with the dings and scratches you would expect to find. The drivers door is missing the aluminum trim and the left fender is missing the f100 emblem. Theres rust in the floorpans next to each door,and surface rust in the bed and small place on the body.The doors and rockers are solid. The seat has tears and needs recovered,the carpet has wear as does the dash cover,but you would expect this in a truck of this age. The overview would be a solid truck to use for reliable transportation or work,or a great start for a hot rod or restoration project.  Vehicles of this age do not require a title in Georgia,so this truck is being sold with a bill of sale only. If you need this notarized we can do this as well,but definately check the laws where you intend to register the vehicle as they differ vastly from region to region. I'm sure if your area required a state title,then a bonded title could be obtained,but this will be the responsibility of the buy. If your going to need shipping then we will assist you however we can,but all arrangements and expenses are on the winning bidder. Feel free to inbox me with any questions or concerns,I'll try to answer prompty and accurately. If something arises that I can't handle I'll put you in touch with the owner directly,he can answer anything you'll need to know.Thanks for looking and good luck!

Pickup sales may hit 2M units for first time since 2007

Sat, 21 Sep 2013

Even as fuel prices creep back up, trucks are still a hot item among new-vehicle shoppers. To see how popular pickup trucks still are, you don't have to look any further than how much effort automakers put into the continual one-upmanship of their trucks. Backing this fact up, USA Today is reporting that the segment could top two million sales this year - a total not matched since 2007, though still far from the pre-recession, three-million-unit levels.
Through August, the Ford F-Series continues to be the segment leader with almost 500,000 units sold, but the Chevy Silverado (328,269), Ram 1500 (234,642), GMC Sierra (122,232) and Toyota Tacoma (110,293) are all seeing at least 20-percent sales increases, helping to account for around 1.44 million truck sales so far this year - not including possible outliers like the Suzuki Equator and Chevy Avalanche.
This year alone, General Motors has completely redesigned its fullsize trucks, Ram and Toyota have significantly updated their offerings, the next-gen Ford F-150 will be out next year and Nissan is promising an all-new Titan around the same time with an eventual Cummins diesel under the hood. It would seem, then, that truck sales are poised to continue their upward trend.

Focus ST diesel variant coming, just don't look for it here

Fri, 07 Mar 2014

A few years back, Volkswagen made some waves when it announced the Golf GTD - a diesel-powered car that, aside from its ultra-efficient, ultra-torquey engine, was identical to the gas-powered GTI. That meant cosseting sport seats, larger wheels, sportier suspension, larger brakes and a body kit that made the GTD indistinguishable from the GTI, except for the three little letters on the back and in the grille.
Now, Ford is looking to replicate VW's success, with a diesel version of the Focus ST. According to Motor Trend, the diesel-powered ST will use a 2.0-liter, 182-horsepower four-cylinder. With an unspecified amount of torque on offer (we'd guess around 280 pound-feet), the diesel hot hatch should hit 62 miles per hour in about eight seconds.
The report, which originally comes from Auto Express, claims the ST Diesel was confirmed by Ford Chief Marketing Officer Mark Fields during this week's Geneva Motor Show. Not surprisingly, it doesn't appear there are any plans to bring a diesel-powered Focus of any kind to the US, let alone one that uses the suspension, steering and other items from the ST. Of course, if there's an official confirmation from Ford, we'll be sure to report on it.

Xcar shows how to drive the Ford Model T

Wed, Jan 21 2015

A couple of weeks ago Xcar posted a teaser review of the Ford Model T, a look at what the British duo would have been doing if they'd been doing their thing for 100 years. Now we have their complete, 12-minute take on the what might be, as they say, "arguably the most important car of the 20th century." Thankfully, instead of just a review, Xcar spends about half the time giving us a tour of history, from Ford's early days working for the Edison Illuminating Company to his racing days and founding of several car companies that either died or became other car companies after he left, like Cadillac. They also line up the pieces and the sales realities that led to Ford implementing – not creating, mind you – assembly-line production of the Tin Lizzie. And then they get into how crazy it is to drive, like how a driver needs two of the three pedals, the handbrake lever and a steering column stalk to get into high gear. Enjoy the video above on a 100-year-old car that is "unbelievably comfortable," "mildly terrifying" and ready to do just about anything.
