1979 Ford F-100. This is a good solid truck. It has a built big block 460 with Edelbrock aluminum intake and 4 barrel carb plus a MSD electronic ignition with headers and a nice dual exhaust. In addition to having a flex fan for cooling this truck also has an auxiliary electronic cooling fan just in case. The truck is an automatic and has a custom floor shift. This truck runs good and sounds great. It's been built to cruise and it's never been raced. It has always been adult driven and well maintained. The odometer reads 79,794 but the prior owner said the engine and transmission has less than 5,000 miles on them. It is a rear wheel drive (not a 4x4). I have many people coming out next weekend with intent to purchase. So this listing will be posted but if payment is not received by the weekend, first person with the money gets the truck.

The truck gets a lot of attention, mostly due to the custom paint. It's a beautiful "House of Kolor" shade of orange called Sunset Orange Metallic. The paint was done several years ago but still looks great. It has some very fine lavender pearl metallic chips that really make the color pop in the sunlight. It is a nicely done, modern, base coat clear coat paint job that will look great for many more years. The exterior chrome is in good condition. It has custom side mirrors, bed rails, spray in bed liner, and a large low-profile diamond plate tool box. The custom wheels are in great condition, as are the tires, and they accent the truck nicely.

The interior of the truck is as nice as the rest of it. The original seats have been replaced with a more comfortable, modern seat. It is a soft and supple tan leather seat with a fold down console. The truck has a modern JVC CD/MP3 player and upgraded speakers in the doors. The dash looks great and has a set of more-accurate-than-stock, aftermarket gauges for temperature, oil pressure, and voltage. The heater works great. This truck did not originally have AC, but there are affordable kits available if that is something you feel you would need to do.

This truck really doesn't need anything. It has sufficient power to pull a trailer or a boat with ease. I would feel confident driving this truck anywhere. It is very reliable as well as being very fun to cruise around in. We don't have to sell it but we would like to thin out our pack of cars and make a little room in the driveway since we recently bought a new truck, we decided we could let this one go. We are asking $9900 for the truck. The truck is not perfect. It is over 30 years old, so do not expect a trailer queen. It is however solid, sound, and a great price for a beautiful and dependable truck! It was my daily driver for the last year.

If you would like more pictures or a copy of the appraisal, please text or email. VIN: F10BNFB3246.

Ford S-Max Concept proves minivans aren't always minivans [w/video]

Tue, 10 Sep 2013

Ford's latest don't-call-it-a-minivan is called the S-Max Concept, and it's a looker. As you can see, the conceptual overgrown hatch makes good use of Ford's latest design language, especially at the very front of the S-Max, which bears a striking resemblance to production models that include the Focus, C-Max and Fusion.
Powering the S-Max Concept is a 1.5-liter EcoBoost engine, and while Ford doesn't actually list power figures for the concept, previous estimates put the mill at 133 kW of power (about 178 horsepower) and 240 Nm of torque (about 177 pound-feet). Inside, there's room for seven passengers and at least some of their luggage.
As you'd expect, the S-Max is loaded up with all of Ford's latest infotainment technology, including Sync and MyFordTouch. More interestingly, there are also onboard heart and blood glucose monitors that we doubt will be seeing the light of production anytime soon. On that topic, don't expect to see any S-Max-shaped vehicles hitting the US market from Ford, either. Scroll down below for the press release, but not before checking out the high-res image gallery above.

Ford recalling select Taurus, Explorer and Lincoln MKS models over fuel tanks

Sun, 31 Mar 2013

Ford is recalling certain 2012 Taurus, 2013 Explorer and 2012 Lincoln MKS models over fuel tank concerns. According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, vehicles built between July 19, 2011 and March 15, 2012 may have been built with fuel tanks that have a "marginally sealed seam" on the side. Those seams may not provide the strength necessary to protect the tank from rupture during a collision. They may also leak. The recall covers a total of 3,037 vehicles. NHTSA says that leaked fuel, in the presence of an ignition source, could easily cause a fire.
Dealers will inspect the tanks and replace them as need be free of charge. Owners can expect to be notified once the campaign begins on or around April 22, 2013. You can read the full NHTSA recall notice below for more information.

Ford rethinking vehicle launch strategy

Tue, 07 May 2013

With a new boss at the helm, Ford is looking at new ways to improve its vehicle launches in North America to prevent recent issues that have popped up with models like the Lincoln MKZ, Ford Escape and Ford Fusion. Speaking with Automotive News, Ford's new president of the Americas, Joe Hinrichs, revealed a few ways the automaker plans to avoid early build issues such as the engine fires on certain 2013 Escape and Fusion models and months-long delays for customers to receive their MKZs.
It sounds like the root of the problems may have been Ford's relationship with suppliers compounded by the fact that the product surge came on the heels of the recent industry-crippling recession, and in the AN article, Hinrichs says improvements are being made to reduce problems during the launch of new or redesigned models. Three such improvements that were implemented during the first quarter of this year including more rigorous quality comparisons, better use of computer technology to catch major problems sooner and hiring engineers to work closer with suppliers.
