I am selling my 1965 Ford F-100 stepside longbed truck. I have had this project for about 15 years and this is as far as I have made it, do to life issues. I do not plan to finish the truck and what is done is done right with good parts. I have most of the rest of the parts except the items I was going to replace new during the restore. I do not have the bumpers or windshield. bed floor, slats and some other small items. I have striped another truck so I have several extra parts. I was going to restore the truck as close to stock as possible except for the engine. The origional engine was a 6 cyl and I have a 289 in it now. What I have done is the frame and cab have been striped down the bare metal and all rust repaired. cab has new cab mounts. The rear end is stock and looks good. All the brakes are new with new drums, bearings, lines and hoses. Front end has all new moog parts allong with new king pins. New monroe shocks and new bushings and front and rear springs. The engine I bought off a guy who recentaly had it rebuilt at a shop in town, I put a edelbrock intake and 650 carb on it along with new water pump, distribuator, and some dress up parts. Engine looks good. It has the stock 3 speed manual trans with a new clutch kit installed. I have the radiator support, inner finders, battery tray and a few other parts painted and done. I have 2 sets of front fenders and doors for it. I have the stepside bed for it also. This would be a good project which is well started. Not too far if you wanted to change something. The cab is just resting on the frame in the pictures. Any questions call 620-757-9715. Leave a message if no answer. Thank you.

Ford Mustang EcoBoost has fake engine soundtrack

Wed, 24 Sep 2014

The 2015 Ford Mustang EcoBoost represents a huge change for the Blue Oval as the first pony car in decades to be available with a four-cylinder engine. But a recent tweet (below) from Road & Track raised our curiosity about the new vehicle. Editor Jason Cammisa pulled a fuse while driving the latest 'Stang with the 2.3-liter EcoBoost engine, and he found that both the stereo and engine went quiet in the cabin. That indicated the coupe might have some form of artificial engine sound being piped in - a feature not previously heavily reported for the model. Autoblog spoke with Ford engineer Shawn Carney who confirmed that only the turbocharged four-cylinder Mustang comes with this system, called Active Noise Control.

Ford wants to double hybrid offerings by 2020

Wed, Jan 15 2014

The Blue Oval is looking for folks on the other side of this Big Old Sphere to get on board with its hybrid offerings. Ford executive Raj Nair, speaking at the Detroit Auto Show this week, said the US automaker wants to double the number of hybrids models it offers by the end of the decade, Reuters reports. Details of what that actually means is anyone's guess, as it was unclear how many of those models would be in the US and how many would be overseas. That said, Nair did say that prospective customers in regions such as China and Europe would drive the expansion of offerings. Ford got off to a great start in the US last year on its hybrid sales, but then tailed off towards the end of 2013. Ford more than doubled its green-car sales in 2013 to almost 88,000 units. In that number were more than 37,000 Fusion Hybrids and more than 28,000 C-Max Hybrids sold domestically. The company also sold almost 7,500 Lincoln MKZ Hybrids. Ford's green-car totals for 2013 were up fivefold at the mid-year point, hinting that Ford's hybrid sales plateaued, at least temporarily, in recent months.

Ford nets $5.7B in 2012, $1.6B in fourth quarter

Tue, 29 Jan 2013

Ford brought in $5.7 billion in net income during 2012, which is around $307 million less than one year prior. Even so, the automaker closed out 2012 with the highest pre-tax profit for a single quarter in nearly 10 years, earning $1.7 billion in the fourth quarter thanks largely to a higher-than-average truck mix in the US. That's a jump of $577 million over 2011. Likewise, that translated into fourth quarter income of $1.6 billion. All told, Ford set a full-year pre-tax profit record in 2012. But that doesn't necessarily mean everything is rosy in the land of the Blue Oval.
Like every other manufacturer, 2012 saw Ford get hammered in the European Union, where a deep economic recession continues to drive down consumer confidence. The automaker lost more than $700 million in Europe, and saw full revenue of $26.6 billion in 2012. That's a decline of $7.2 billion compared to last yea. Ford says the market for new vehicles in Europe has contracted to 13.5 million units, the lowest number in 17 years. You can read the full press release below for more information.
