This is a custom F100 from top to bottom, front to back. It's been done for a few years. It runs and drives very well for a truck of this age. I have a stack of pictures a couple inches tall of the truck's build. It comes with a briefcase full of receipts totaling about $70,000.00 and also comes with a partial  quart of the original PPG paint the truck was painted with. 

ENGINE:  is a 1968 460 big block V-8 out of a Lincoln. It was rebuild with an edel brock cam, intake, and carburetor. It also has roller rockers. Exhaust manifolds are stock. 

Transmission:  is a Ford C6, rebuilt with a shift kit.

Frame:  is the original, but has been modified

Suspension: The front is a subbed in VOLARIE IFS torsion bar. The rear is stock leaf spring, lowered with a chrysler 8-3/4 axle. (gears are 3.50-3.73 I'm not a 100% sure which?) The truck also has power steering.

Tires and Wheels: Tires are BFG's 215/60/15 front and 295/50/15 rear. Center Line wheels, 15x8 front and 15x10 rear.

Interior: Custom head liner, door panels, and carpet. Seats are out of 2000 ford F250. DAKOTA DIGITAL dash and Remote door poppers. Power windows, Power Cowl Vent and cruise. Vintage heat and air. (the truck is set up for A/C, I believe I has almost all the parts, but are not all installed and DO come with the truck.) Windows are tinted. Custom center console. Pioneer stereo with 6 disc cd changer. Billet rear view mirror. Colorado customs billet steering wheel. 

Paint and Body Work: Paint and body work are very nice and were professionally done. Exterior paint is PPG dark amethyst base coat clear coat with hand, pin striped old school flames. The frame, axle, and suspension have all been painted with automotive paint and are a medium gray. The truck has a forward tilt hod kit with prop. rod, that makes opening and closing the hood easy compared to the stock springs and hinges.

Everyone wants to know if there is anything wrong with the truck or if there are any defects or things that need attention. So, here is everything I can think of. 1) The truck has been driven, and has had a few tiny rock chips that don't show up in pictures......most have been touched up. 2) the 1/4 windows are original glass and have bubbles between the panes, the passenger side is the worst of the two. 3) as I mentioned above, the truck has most everything for A/C, but is not hooked up. 4) the power steering has a drip when the truck is running( I think it's just a hose clamp on the return line I'm going to try and get to before the auction is over) 5) the valve covers have been painted to match the truck and some paint has flaked off the passenger side valve cover. 

I have described this truck to the best of my ability. I'm human and make mistakes, and I'm sure there are things I fore got. So please ask all questions before bidding.

You can call me on my cell phone @ (651) 775-7887 or message me threw eBay. Friday I will be unavailable by phone from 9a.m. til 5p.m. central time. I'm very busy, so if I don't answer, please leave me a message and I will call you back a.s.a.p.

THANKS!............. Matt

Ford recalling 830,000 vehicles to replace side door latches

Thu, Aug 4 2016

The Basics: Ford is conducting a recall for roughly 830,000 models. The affected vehicles include the 2013 to 2015 Ford C-Max, 2012 to 2015 Ford Focus, 2013 to 2015 Ford Escape, 2015 Lincoln MKC, 2015 Ford Mustang, and 2014 to 2016 Ford Transit Connect. The recall is focused primarily in Arkansas, Alabama, Florida, California, Arizona, Hawaii, Georgia, New Mexico, Louisiana, Mississippi, Texas, Nevada, Utah, Oklahoma, Washington, and Oregon as the problem mostly affects cars in states with warm weather. The Problem: The pawl spring tab in the side door latch in the affected vehicles could break, preventing the door from latching and could even cause the door to open while driving. Injuries/Deaths: There is one reported injury and one reported accident. The Fix: Dealers will replace the affected cars' side door latches. If you own one: Reach out to your local Ford dealer to schedule a service.

10 automakers sued over keyless ignitions

Thu, Aug 27 2015

Keyless ignition has rapidly proliferated throughout the auto industry to become a fairly normal feature on new cars. It's supposed to offer the convenience of keeping the fob in your pocket and just pressing a button to drive away. However, ten major automakers are now being sued in US District Court over claims that the system is dangerous, Reuters reports. The suit alleges that people are forgetting to shut off the engine, and the lack of an idle timer is the cause for 13 deaths by carbon monoxide poisoning and multiple injuries. The suit currently includes 28 plaintiffs, according to Reuters, but the lawyers are asking for class-action status to potentially add many more. The case goes after a major swath of the industry, including BMW, Daimler, FCA, Ford, General Motors, Honda, Hyundai, Nissan, Toyota, and Volkswagen, plus their related brands like Acura, Infiniti, Mini, and Lexus. In all, over five million vehicles are affected. The assertion here is that people walk away from their vehicle without shutting it off because they believe the engine shuts off automatically. If parked in a garage, carbon monoxide can build up, leading to poisoning. The lawyers claim automakers know this is a problem and also cite 27 complaints to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration about the issue, according to Reuters. The plaintiffs are asking for an automatic shut-off and damages from the companies. These concerns have come up before, though. Toyota previously faced a lawsuit over a carbon monoxide death after a woman accidentally left her Lexus running. Also earlier this year, GM recalled 64,186 examples of the 2011-2013 Chevrolet Volt because owners weren't shutting them off. The problem resulted in two injuries, and the company released a software update to limit the idling time.

Ford shows off V8-powered Ranger headed to Dakar Rally

Tue, 30 Jul 2013

Avert your eyes now if you're jealous that the global version of the Ford Ranger is not offered in the US. Ford's midsize pickup is being tuned up to take on the 2014 Dakar Rally, and the result is a truck that is probably even cooler than any F-150 SVT Raptor we've ever seen in the States. Ford is actually building two versions of the truck for Dakar, which will run from January 5 through January 18, covering more than 5,000 miles from Argentina to Chile.
Starting with a fully composite body and a 5.0-liter V8 plucked from a Mustang, nearly every aspect of the trucks have been purpose built to take on the grueling race. This includes things like the six-speed sequential gearbox, liquid-cooled rear brakes and the 132-gallon fuel tank. As proof that Dakar is more about endurance than speed, the engines used in these race trucks will be limited to around 350 horsepower and 413 pound-feet of torque, and will max out at a top speed of just 105 miles per hour. Scroll down for Ford's official press release offering more information about the trucks and teams being prepped for Dakar.
