This is a very nice classic 1973 Ford F100 pickup. The truck has had one repaint about nine years ago in the original colors(sequioa brown and wimbleton white). It was originally from Arizona and never had any rust, so the body isn't all patched up with bondo. The paint and body on this truck are nearly perfect: no rust, dents, dings, scratches, paint chips, etc-even the bed floor is scratchless! The chrome trim is original for the truck, and is in excellent condition as well. The interior is in great shape. The dash is perfect-no cracks in the dashpad, etc. The seat has been reupholstered at some point-unfortunately the previous owner was a smoker so there are a couple of small cigarette burns on the seat. I don't smoke so it hasn't been smoked in since I've owned it. The headliner and door panels are in great shape. I replaced the carpeting after the truck was repainted,so it has new carpeting. It has AC which does work, but it needs to be recharged because it doesn't blow cold. It has an aftermarket cassette deck(knob-style, so the dash isn't all cut up) which plays fine. This truck is in very good condition mechanically. The previous owner had the engine and transmission rebuilt. It is a 390 V8 with automatic trans. The previous owner also had the brakes re-done. Since I've owned the truck I've replaced the power steering pump and lines, alternator, starter, battery, exhaust, and tires. The engine compartment has been cleaned up and detailed for car shows. The previous owner had the undercarriage undercoated, and I painted over that with por-15 rust resistant type paint, so the underside of the truck is in nice condition too. It has 2 fuel tanks but only the rear tank is functional, front tank would need a new sending unit-the previous owner told me that he never tried using the front tank and neither have I so it hasn't been used in quite some time. I have never had any major problems with this truck in the nine years that I've owned it. It had a little over 99000 miles when I bought it, and has around 103,000 now. It has always been garage kept since I've owned it, and only driven on sunny summer days. It has not seen rain or snow since the repaint. I predominantly use it for classic car shows, or an occaisional Sunday drive. If you are looking for a nice classic Ford truck to take to the car shows, this one would be perfect. It has been a consistent trophy winner at the shows that I've taken it to. The restoration on this truck is very nice, and much attention was paid to detail. It's almost like going back in time and finding one of these when it was nearly new. About the only bad thing that I can say about this truck is the gas mileage is horrible(7-8 mpg). I would really like to see this truck go to someone who's going to keep it as a collector's item and use it for shows, not someone looking for a daily driver. If there is anything specific on the truck that you would like to see that isn't shown in the pics, let me know. I would trust this truck to drive pretty much anywhere, but due to the poor gas mileage and the fact that it is a 40 year old vehicle that hasn't been driven on a regular basis in years, I'd strongly recommend having it shipped.

Ford cuts F-150 fuel use through CNG-capable fleet sales, EcoBoost
Tue, May 13 2014The possibility of $1-a-gallon fuel would make a lot of US governmental entities sit up and take notice. The state of Oklahoma and the city of Dallas are making that happen. Those two entities are buying up a bunch of Ford F-150 pickups retrofitted to run on compressed natural gas (CNG), all in the name of cost savings and emissions reduction. Oklahoma is buying 256 of the F-150s, while Dallas is buying another 65. The trucks, which cost between $6,000 and $9,500 to retrofit (on top of the original price), can run on either CNG or liquefied petroleum gas (LPG). And while that's a substantial hit, conversion costs are typically paid back in three years thanks to lower refueling costs. CNG prices are as low as $1.07 a gallon in parts of Oklahoma. How much lower? The national average price for CNG is about a buck and a half less than the $3.67 average per-gallon cost of gasoline. And CNG prices are as low as $1.07 a gallon in parts of Oklahoma, where CNG is plentiful. CNG also cuts tailpipe greenhouse gas emissions by about 20 percent compared with gasoline, while the retrofitted trucks can go as far as 450 miles from their CNG tanks in addition to the 300-mile range from their conventional tanks. That's useful in a bit state like Texas. This week, the US Energy Department trumpeted a $5.9-billion loan program that Ford accessed to upgrade its factories for production of its EcoBoost engines, noting that Ford has sold a half-million F-150 trucks with EcoBoost engines. Those trucks have collectively cut fuel use by almost 57 million gallons of gas during the past three-plus years. Check out Ford's press release on the F-150 purchases below and the Energy Department's statement about its loan program here. OKLAHOMA, DALLAS ORDER 300-PLUS CNG-CAPABLE FORD F-150 PICKUPS AS DEMAND GROWS FOR ALTERNATIVE FUEL OPTION The state of Oklahoma and its agencies to buy 256 Ford F-150 trucks prepped to run on compressed natural gas; Dallas orders 65 for its fleet 2014 F-150 available with gaseous-fuel prep option on 3.7-liter V6 engine; can run on CNG or liquefied petroleum gas (also called propane autogas) By summer, Ford will offer eight vehicles that can run on clean-burning, affordable CNG; the company is on track to sell more than 15,000 such vehicles in 2014 The state of Oklahoma, its agencies and the city of Dallas have ordered a total of 321 Ford F-150 pickups that can run on compressed natural gas.
Amid Mulally rumors, Bill Ford praises company's deep bench
Wed, 02 Oct 2013Bill Ford went on the offensive to combat the rumors that CEO Alan Mulally would leave Dearborn for Steve Ballmer's vacated position leading Microsoft, adding that even if the 68-year-old, former Boeing exec were to depart, the Ford executive team is in a good place.
"I'm happy [Mulally] is going to stick around. But we also feel really good about where we are in terms of succession," Ford told Bloomberg TV, according to Automotive News. Rumors first cropped up about Mulally leaving Ford when AllThingsD speculated that he was in the running, early last month. In that same report, which you can read here, Ford's board of directors reportedly okayed the CEO stepping down ahead of his planned retirement in 2014.
That opened the floodgates, culminating in a report from a few days ago that the rumors over Ballmer's successor just might be true. The story is especially troubling, as Ford hasn't had Mulally under contract, according to AN. "He's here as long as he and I would like it to happen," Ford said, "We're also cognizant of training the next generation and getting them ready to go as well."
Ford lowers MPG ratings on six vehicles
Thu, 12 Jun 2014Ford has announced that it will be lowering the fuel economy ratings on a number of its 2013 and 2014 model year vehicles after an error was discovered in the company's internal testing data. The EPA has been notified.
Worryingly for Ford, the vast majority of the vehicles affected are hybrids, including the C-Max, Fusion and MKZ in both hybrid and plug-in varieties (where applicable). Also covered as part of the rerating is the entire lineup of 2014 Fiesta engines, with the exception of the ST, including the turbocharged, three-cylinder EcoBoost.
The C-Max was originally rated at 47/47/47 mpg, but dropped to 43/45/40 last year and now to 40/42/37.
