This is a Great Truck for a Total Restoration Project.
I purchased it 2 days ago from a Nice Southern Gentleman in Alabama who bought it to restore but has only kept it in his enclosed hobby garage and not touched it. I brought it to Chattanooga and dropped it off with my old school ford mechanic. In 4 hours or less he has it running and almost ready for test driving. He replaced the fuel line and fuel pump in addition to adjusting the timing. I went down and spent a few mins today and he said he would be test driving it on Monday with instructions to do whatever is necessary to make it road worthy and safe. The truck has dual exhaust with nice sounding glass packs (strange as everything else looks stock). The body is very straight (better than any vehicle I have seen half this age without major restoration) and event he tail gate and bed is Great. It is obvious the was not a farm or work truck. All the glass is in good shape. The chrome bumpers look good, however with a new pain job, I would go for new chrome on the sides (custom cab) as this truck deserves it. The headliner insert and the door panel inserts are good. It appears zero rust in the floor anywhere. The instrument panel display looks great, however the dash pad has a cracks in it. Every item needed to put this truck to a perfect 10 is now available online. The 1966 version is the 4th generation F series (of 10) and has the famed Twin-I Beam suspension. One of my best friends in high school had the coolest 1966 (red also) F100 with a 352 three speed manual transmission and every since I have wanted one. A major motivation in my buying the truck is that I have a later model 5.0 v8 with Automatic-overdirve Transmission that has been rebuilt that I intend to put in the right vehicle. Just as I was making the deal to go pick-up this truck a gentleman in east Tennesse agreed to sell me a 1959 Thunderbird (which desired more than the truck). My stipulation was that he had a title or current registration as that is necessary to register here in Hamilton county Tennessee. The gentleman with the truck went and register it at my request, so I felt obligated to buy it. Now the Tbird is regiester so I can buy it. Since I have an F250 4x4 the Thunderbird is my first choice. I can hardly wait to get the truck home so I can clean it up and be able to show the quality I see here. That will happen next week weather permitting. I will update and add new pics or will sent them direct to serious bidders as requested. I will consider selling the 5.0 and Auto Tranny for $1500 more, but only as a package deal. Please only bid if you are serious. If you have less than positive feedback of 10, Do Not Bid without speaking with me first.Don't bid unless you have the funds, and or permission from wife to buy. I will try to answer all serious questions promptly. I will be listing the Truck for sale locally so I reserve the right to cancel the auction at any time. Thank You Steve in Chattanooga |

Ford Fiesta ST GRC Racecar is hungry for podiums in 2013
Thu, 07 Feb 2013As we reported earlier, the Chicago showing of this plucky Ford Fiesta ST GRC racer points to bigger and brighter days for Global RallyCross. For the upcoming season, you can expect to see Ken Block and Tanner Foust both driving the Ford racecar, and if last season's results are any indication, you can anticipate quite a few podium appearances, as well.
The Fiesta seen here was built by the Swedes at OlsbergsMSE, and will be driven in anger by Foust in 2013. Modifications are, as you'd expect, extensive, and include an engine, exhaust and braking upgrades, a racing style short-throw shifter and a limited-slip differential. As you can see, the car has been fully stripped out and caged for maximum speed and safety, too.
Refresh your memories with the details of the car, in the press releases below. And if you head out to the Chicago Auto Show this year, don't forget to drop by the Ford stand to have a look.
2015 Ford Mustang spied on video for the first time
Thu, 20 Jun 2013Not many cars will continue to hold our rapt attention quite like the upcoming redesigned 2015 Ford Mustang, codenamed S550 internally. Earlier this month, we brought you the first spy photos of a next-gen Mustang prototype out testing, and even though expertly placed cladding concealed the pony car's new shape, we could tell that underneath was hiding an altogether new form inspired by the Evos Concept from 2011.
Today we give you some video of what looks to be the same Mustang prototype, which you can watch below, and while the budding director behind the camera wasn't able to capture much in the way of the engine's audio signature, we can see the car in motion for the first time and compare its relative size and shape to the S197 Mustang GT that's on its tail.
2014 Ford Fiesta ST priced from $21,400* [w/poll]
Tue, 26 Feb 2013The 2014 model year brings a whole host of changes to Ford's Fiesta B-Segment fighter, the most important of which (to our enthusiast eyes, anyway) is the addition of a potent new ST model. The US-spec hot hatch was first shown at the 2012 Los Angeles Auto Show last November, and thanks to Ford's build-and-price site, we've now learned that the Fiesta ST will slide in at $21,400 when it goes on sale later this year (*not including $795 for destination).
Under the hood of the ST is a turbocharged 1.6-liter EcoBoost inline-four good for 197 horsepower and 214 pound-feet of torque, mated solely to a six-speed manual transmission. Ford hasn't released performance data on its pint-sized puncher just yet, but know that these numbers make the Fiesta ST ever-so-slightly more powerful than the larger Volkswagen GTI while returning an estimated 34 miles per gallon on the highway.
Elsewhere in the lineup, the standard Fiesta also gets a smattering of improvements for the 2014 model year, including a new 1.0-liter three-cylinder turbocharged engine and revised exterior styling. Pricing for the 2014 Fiesta sedan starts at $14,000, with the five-door model adding $600 to that number (again excluding the $795 destination fee).
