I am re-listing my 1961 Ford F-100 half ton pickup truck with a lowered reserve. This truck was originally owned by the u.s. air force, from dry western states (Idaho)

This is a very straight example of an early 60's Ford truck. This truck has very little rust and the two areas of concern. The two areas are below the small steps, on the leading edge of the rear fenders. These areas are not visible from the top of the step, only from below. This should be a very easy fix.

The interior front cab corners have patches that look like professional repairs. The cab corners are very solid as are the bottom of the doors and fenders. The other areas of needed body work are the drivers door and the driver side front fender at the leading edge. The photographs show these areas. The remainder of the truck is extremely straight and rust free, including the frame. There are no frame repairs, and the truck tracks straight. The excellent patina is great if you want to drive the truck like it is. All of the military Air Force decals are in place on the outside and on the dashboard. The truck starts very easily and runs well, no vibrations or stalling. Directional signals and brake lights work, but the cancel switch for the directional signals should be replaced. The tops of the bed rails are super straight and in great condition, this is also true with original tailgate, all tailgate hardware is original. The military radio does not work and is for display purposes only. The engine is a 223 cubic inch type with a 3-speed column shift (three on the tree.)

I have completed the following work: new headliner, new sun visors, new high energy battery, new battery cables, painted battery tray, new driver side arm rest, new Coker truck tires, sand blasted Ford wheels painted blue to match the body color, excellent newly painted correct Ford hubcaps, new lug nuts on all four wheels, new reproduction rubber floor mat, new reproduction chrome outside mirror. I have a set of nice oak bed rails that will go with this truck.

This truck runs excellent and stops well. You can drive it right now. Note: The steering is somewhat hard at this point and should be corrected to drive comfortably. The steering is the manual type, brakes work very well but are not power brakes. The windshield has a small crack on the drivers side but it is not in the field of view. In addition, there are a few rock chips in the glass, but nothing serious. The engine runs cool and the instruments work with the exception of the odometer. It broke a couple of months ago so the mileage is slightly higher than 48,303. Mileage appears to be original, and mostly military miles.

This truck could be restored, customized, make a shop truck, or rat rod it. Very straight, very little rust, laser straight frame, would make an easy restoration.

Please contact me with any questions you may have regarding this truck. My name is Arnie, and I can be reached at (949) 573-1139. Or, you can email me through eBay messaging. I will promptly answer your emails.

NOTE: You may contact me with any reasonable offers on this truck, please no low ball offers.

The truck is currently licensed and insured in CA, and has no back DMV fees due.

A $500.00 non-refundable deposit is required within 48 hours of the auction close. You may contact me to make final payment arrangements after the close of the auction.

Please note that I am only accepting US bidders at this time, I am not set up to sell outside of the US. There are no warranties expressed or implied on this vehicle. The truck is being sold in "as is"; "where is" condition.

Transportation of this truck to the winning bidders location is the responsibility of the auction winner. I can assist with the loading of the truck.

Thank you for looking at my auction and good luck.

2015 Ford Mustang EcoBoost flogged and analyzed by Ignition

Mon, 13 Oct 2014

Aside from the way it looks and perhaps its independent rear suspension, the biggest bit of news on the 2015 Mustang may be the inclusion of its 2.3-liter, turbocharged four-cylinder engine. That blown mill marks the first time since the Mustang SVO of the '80s that a turbo has been fitted under the engine of Ford's pony car.
The Mustang EcoBoost is the subject of the latest episode of Ignition from Motor Trend, giving us a great look at the technical, nitty-gritty side of the turbocharged coupe. Covering it from bow to stern, host Carlos Lago walks us through the boosted Ford before taking to the track for some driving impressions, with particular praise given to the low-end grunt of the 2.3-liter mill.
Check out the full video and then let us know which 2015 Mustang has your interest piqued the most - the EcoBoost four, the 5.0L V8 or the entry-level V6.

Here's why automakers roll out those Texas-themed pickup trucks

Thu, Sep 29 2016

Every year, automakers with a full-size truck link make a big show of the Texas State Fair, usually involving a reveal of a new model. Sometimes they show a whole new truck, and other times a special edition centered on the Lone Star state. While some people might write this off as a quirk of the industry, others might be wondering, "What's the big deal with Texas?" As it turns out, part of the big deal with Texas is big truck sales. According to Dave Sullivan, product analysis manager at AutoPacific, Texas buys more trucks than any other state in the country. It's not a small margin either. Edmunds.com, one in five trucks sold in the US are sold in Texas. The state also accounts for 15 percent of the country's large truck sales, which is more than twice that of California, the second largest truck market in America. Even when you break down sales only in Texas, trucks are a huge piece of the pie - Sullivan says that a quarter of new vehicle sales in Texas are trucks. One in five trucks sold in the US are sold in Texas. But it's not just sales that make truck builders give attention to Texas. As Sullivan explained, "Pickups are life in Texas." Both he and Hugh Milne, marketing and advertising manager for the Chevy Silverado line, said that trucks are key fixtures in Texas society, as both work trucks and luxury vehicles (or Texas Cadillacs as Milne called them). Milne said Texas is so important in the truck market that if you want to be successful in the rest of the country, "you've got to be successful in Texas." As for the State Fair, it has become a prime location for reveals in part because of the importance of the Texas market and because of how big the fair is. Milne also revealed that the State Fair also hosts its own auto show, so it's an ideal venue for a vehicle introduction. So there you have it. Why do truck builders obsess over Texas? It's because Texas obsesses over trucks. When you have one market that loves your product that much, you give it the attention it deserves.
