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 it around the country roads and had to have it. Trailered it home and started cleaning it up (cob webs and hornets nests, etc. 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. I have a video included in the 118 pictures link that shows the truck running in it's current condition, 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 Holley 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. DRD Motor Trade is licensed bonded CA dealer specializing in rare CA finds like this one. Sale tax and any required reg/transfer fees due at time of purchase to all CA buyers.

Ford open to diesel, hybrid or electric Mustang? [w/poll]
Sun, 08 Dec 2013The Ford Mustang may not be the first vehicle that comes to mind when you think of environmentally-friendly forms of transportation. The arrival of the turbocharged four-cylinder engine in the new Mustang could do a lot to combat that perception, but the EcoBoost engine may just be the tip of the iceberg in that regard.
Speaking with Ford powertrain boss Bob Fascetti at the reveal of the new Mustang in Australia, GoAuto reports that the Blue Oval automaker is considering offering its latest pony car with a diesel, hybrid or even electric powertrain in the future.
"We're not looking at diesel at the moment, but given where we need to go with fuel consumption we are looking at all our options," said Fascetti. Other options could include a nine- or ten-speed automatic transmission to replace the current six-speed unit in order to help improve fuel economy and emissions for the Mustang, although figures for the current lineup have yet to be revealed.
Ford starting up 2.0L EcoBoost engine production in Ohio
Fri, 22 Feb 2013Joe Hinrichs, Ford's President of The Americas (pictured above), announced today that in late 2014, the automaker will be building the 2.0-liter EcoBoost four-cylinder at its Cleveland Engine Plant, a move requiring a $200-million investment and the hiring of 450 new employees. European-built Ford products will continue to source this engine from the Valencia, Spain plant where all of these EcoBoost four-cylinder engines are currently built, and the new Cleveland engines will be used for all North American-made models.
Ford is planning to build its popular EcoBoost engines regionally to maximize production capacity and meet customer demand. Last year, Ford sold 334,364 vehicles with EcoBoost engines in the US alone, and that number is expected to swell to more than 500,000 by the end of this year, with global sales expected to total 1.6 million. By 2015, Ford says that 95 percent of its nameplates will offer an EcoBoost engine.
One such vehicle that could be adding an EcoBoost engine, according to Automotive News, is none other than the 2015 Ford Mustang. The report says that Ford could use either the 2.0-liter EcoBoost or an upcoming 2.3-liter EcoBoost in the sixth-generation pony car.
