1962 Ford F100 Rare Factory 4x4 on 2040-cars
Susanville, California, United States
You don't see these very often a factory 1962 F100 4x4, there wasn't very many made from what I read and not a hole lot survived because people worked them. This truck had been sitting in a Northern California Barn for at least 20 years, it was taken out and and worked on to get it running again. Well all it took was a fuel pump, spark plugs and wires plus a little help from a new battery and it purred again. The original 292 was replaced with a stronger 352, and a 4 speed NP435 trans was mated to it. If a original 292 is something you want to put back in I know where to get a running one for $400. Apparently the reason it was parked back then was the tranny was hard to shift into third, well I have been driving it the way it is and third gear is a pain and just recently I had it checked out and it appears to be the shift fork pads are worn no more than $200 to fix. The motor leaks oil from oil pan, my guess the motor needs gaskets from sitting so long. Now to the cab, bed and frame. The cab is solid just surface rust in some area's, all windows are there and not broke, dash had been cut to install 8 track radio, the floors are good but there is two rust holes near the kick panels but no major surgery needed her. A rodent got into the wiring and now turn signals and gas gauge don't work. The bed and tailgate are good, just surface rust and there is bondo at one of the wheel wells, very little though. Well I think I covered everything, but if you have any questions feel free to contact me. The truck is listed locally and I reserve the right to end auction at any time.

Truckmakers squabbling over who can sell Jimmy Fallon a pickup
Sat, 08 Mar 2014Snagging a celebrity endorsement is a big deal for automakers, as evidenced by the recent efforts of the Detroit Three to try and woo The Tonight Show's newest host, Jimmy Fallon, into one of their trucks.
After announcing during Wednesday night's show that he was in the market for a pickup truck, Fallon set off a firestorm of efforts on Twitter, with both Ford and Chevrolet petitioning the funnyman to test out a truck. According to Ad Age, Ford recommended the King Ranch edition of its next-generation F-150 while the show was still airing. Chevy, meanwhile, waited until the next morning to pitch a Silverado to Fallon.
The winner of this social media feeding frenzy, though, was Ram. Promoting a variation of its "Guts, Glory, Ram" tagline, the Auburn Hills-based manufacturer created the hashtag #GUTSGLORYFallon. It even went so far as to park a Ram 1500 outside 30 Rockefeller Center in New York, where The Tonight Show is filmed. On the back of the Ram sat a sign, reading "Big enough, Jimmy? Test it out," referencing a joke from the Wednesday show.
2015 Ford Focus ST gets sleeker style, improved dynamics
Thu, 26 Jun 2014The Brits don't really have a major auto show these days. Not in a conventional sense, anyway, with stationary vehicles under floodlights in a closed exposition space. What they do have, you could argue, is much better: the Goodwood Festival of Speed, where the public can view the latest machinery not only under an open sky, but in motion as well, speeding up Lord March's front lawn. And this year, British automakers are rolling in with some very enticing new metal.
In the past few days alone we've confirmed the McLaren 650S GT3 and MSO, Jaguar F-Type Project 7, Range Rover Sport SVR and Ariel Ace will all be revealed for the first time at Goodwood this weekend. Ford isn't, strictly speaking, a British automaker, but for all its history in the UK, it might as well. So it's chosen Goodwood as the site to unveil its refreshed Focus ST.
The upgraded Blue Oval hot hatch still packs a 2.0-liter turbo four with 252 horsepower and 270 pound-feet of torque driving through a six-speed manual to the front wheels, so we're not expecting much change in measurable performance. But Ford has given the new Focus ST a new front suspension setup and a new electric power-assisted steering rack that combine to promise improved handling.
Ford will keep Escape and MKC plant open an extra week to meet demand
Thu, Jun 8 2017Crossovers keep selling like popular pastries, and for Ford, that means it needs to keep production going. The company announced that, rather than the usual two-week shutdown, its Louisville, Ky., assembly plant will be open for one of those weeks. The plant builds the Ford Escape and Lincoln MKC, which Ford reports have had record sales. According to Ford, Escape sales through May are up 3 percent, and MKC sales are up 10 percent compared with last year. In total, the Escape has sold about 130,000 units through May, and the MKC has sold around 11,000. Keeping the Louisville plant open will allow the company to build an additional 8,500 vehicles. Ford stated that all other assembly plants will continue with the two-week shutdown as scheduled.
