Ford Econoline Pickup Rust Free 1961,1962,1963,1964,1965,1966,1967 on 2040-cars
Phoenix, Arizona, United States
This is a 1961 Ford Econoline pickup truck I bought in Arizona and it is still in Arizona and it is now and always has been a rust free truck. I took some pictures of the outside edge of the box and you can see all the original spot welds are still there also I took pictures of the bottom of the truck and as you can see there is no rust on the bottom of the truck. Look closely at the floor on the inside of the truck and you can see there is no rust repair at all just nice cleanly painted floors with no repairs. I own Kevins Klassic Cars in Cannon Falls Mn and you can look us up on U tube and look at our 200K plus cars going through Barrett-Jackson in Scottsdale Arizona. The same guys painted this truck that does those cars (My shop employees) Obviously we didn't put a 30K paint job on this car but they certainly know what they are doing and this is a very nice paint job. The truck has been sitting for about 18 months so there is a small scratch in the passenger fender, there are two scratches in the front bumper and there is a small spider crack about the size of a silver dollar in the tail gate. The paint job is very nice but not perfect. I would say it is a 8 out of 10 and extremely respectable for this price range of trunk. The bottom of the box was professionally sprayed with bed liner and the back of the tail gate was sprayed with bed liner. We had them blend in the color of the truck with their product so it would all look the same. This was not done to hide anything as you can see the sides of the bed and the front of the bed have no bed liner on them. But I thought I would use the truck from time to time so I had that put in to save on the scratches. It has worked perfect because there are no scratches at all on the floor.(It might be because I haven't used it but who can say) The wheels, trim rings and the hub caps are all from a 69 Mustang. We media blasted the wheels and painted them all around and the wheels look excellent. The tires are brand new radial tires size 14 inch and they still have the nubs on them and the one still has the original sticker on it. The wheels and tires are excellent they add a lot to the truck. The front windshield is brand new and the gasket for the windshield is brand new, the corner windows are used and are not perfect but you cant buy them new but the gaskets they are sitting in are new. I have both the rear window and the side glass and you can see it in the pictures of the parts that still need to be put on. We rebuilt the wheel cylinders on the front wheels and got the brakes to work however this is only good for short distances and loading and unloading the truck the back wheels will still need to be done. The engine runs but as of right now we are using a gallon can for the gas source because the gas tank either needs replaced or cleaned out (Didn't try it but only guessing it needs cleaned out since it has sat in the desert state of Arizona) The carb on the trunk has been rebuilt and it starts very easily. We also put on a new exhaust manifold gasket and while we had that off we replaced the freeze plugs behind there just in case there was a problem. We didn't try the charging system so we don't know if the generator works or not. The water pump is leaking but for a car sitting around that is very common and a fairly easy fix. The truck can be started, driven and the brakes work, so if you send a company out to pick the truck up they can start it and load it no problem and we are glad to help. The bottom of the seats, the dog house, the battery box and pretty much so everything inside has been media blasted and painted as you can see from the pictures. The seat frames themselves will need to be media blasted and painted then have them recovered. I had a quote to have the foam put on and the seat covers installed for 500 dollars but I never got around to doing it. You will still need to buy door gaskets and felts and gaskets for the side windows. The wing windows I have both seals front and back for the wing windows on both sides. I also have new front turn signal lenses and rear tail light lenses they will be here by the time you pick up the truck. A lot of the work has been done on this truck all the paint and body work is done and ready to go. Mostly what needs to be done at this point is the seats and headliner on the interior, the rest of the dash needs to be put back together and the truck will need a battery we will supply a battery just to start the truck and load it but there is no battery in the battery box. Everything to this point has been done professionally and not half way. If you have any questions feel free to give me a call or you can come out and look at the truck. The truck is at a friends house of mine because he had a lift so I could take the pictures on the bottom. Thanks Kevin Manley. 612-275-8722 I have a clear Arizona title that comes with the truck. I have an extremely low starting price about 1/4 of what I have into the truck and then there is no reserve. Obviously I am hoping for a lot more then that but only the bidders will determine that. |

2015 Ford F-150's aluminum body not expected to hurt resale value
Fri, Mar 13 2015A cloud of skepticism has hung over the 2015 Ford F-150 since even before it went on sale. The issue had nothing to do with the truck's capabilities but instead over reservations about the switch to aluminum body panels. The change helped shed about 700 pounds off the scales, but the lighter metal also came with the potential for higher repair costs. Edmunds even recently whacked its pickup with a hammer just to find out how much it would cost. However, this might not be a problem, because the latest calculations indicate resale value for the new F-150 is on the rise. The residual experts at ALG estimate that the 2015 F-150 is going to hold 58 percent of its value over the next three years, versus 52 percent for the 2014 model, according to Bloomberg. That figure also gives the Ford the highest forecasted resale value among American fullsize pickups. The 2015 Toyota Tundra leads the segment by holding 63 percent. Meanwhile, the 2015 Chevrolet Silverado and GMC Sierra both come in with 51 percent, and the Ram 1500 holds 46 percent. Finally, the 2015 Nissan Titan comes in at 42 percent. The researchers believe that the improvement in fuel economy for the 2015 F-150 at up to 26 miles per gallon highway offsets higher body repair costs. "We are giving credit for the aluminum construction in the fuel efficiency we're seeing," Eric Lyman, ALG vice president of industry insights, said to Bloomberg. "We are not putting in a negative adjustment for concerns around repair costs or durability associated with aluminum." Ford has long-been preparing for the switch to aluminum. The company purposefully designed the body sections to make repairs easier, and it also partially subsidized dealers' investments for new equipment to do the work. Related Video:
Ford says 70% of its models to get stop-start by 2017
Sun, 15 Dec 2013Ford is following up on a report we posted a few weeks back that the Blue Oval would be adding stop-start technology to its entire model range. Now, the Dearborn-based automaker has announced that the fuel-saving feature would be available on 70 percent of the company's range by 2017.
Ford claims the technology will improve fuel economy by around 3.5 percent, although its actual effect will vary based on how the owner drives - apparently up to a 10-percent improvement is possible for those who sit in heavy traffic (Los Angelenos, this means you). The latest recipient of the technology is the updated 2014 Ford Fiesta with the company's three-cylinder EcoBoost powerplant.
Part of the reasoning for the new addition has to do with cost. Ford claims the tech is affordable and easy to implement. "Simply put, Auto Start-Stop helps customers use less fuel, which is an important component of Ford's Blueprint for Sustainability," Ford's global powertrain vice president, Bob Fascetti, said.
William Clay Ford Sr. dead at 88
Sun, 09 Mar 2014William Clay Ford, retired vice chairman of Ford Motor Company and the last surviving grandchild of company founder Henry Ford, died this morning after a bout with pneumonia. He was 88.
Ford spent 57 years with his grandfather's company, joining the board of directors in 1948 before graduating from college. Ford also held a position as chairman of the design committee, as well as the chairman of the executive committee and vice chairman of the Board of Directors during his tenure with the company. In a 2013 Detroit Free Press story, retired CFO Allan Gilmour said Ford had an eye for design, and was once able to pick out when a fiberglass model of a Ford Contour was asymmetrical, off by an inch on one side. He retired and assumed the position of director emeritus in 2005.
"My father was a great business leader and humanitarian who dedicated his life to the company and the community," said Bill Ford, Jr., Ford's current executive chairman. "He also was a wonderful family man, a loving husband, father, grandfather and great-grandfather. He will be greatly missed by everyone who knew him, yet he will continue to inspire us all."
