Turquoise 1965 Ford F-100
(Custom Cab)
I AM 51 YEARS OLD THIS YEAR! I was “born” in Dallas, TX at the Ford plant in 1965 and was owned by one person until 1981.
In 1981 I went to live in Kentucky with a man who owned a Rolls Royce dealership. He took very good care of me and
began keeping records of all my maintenance. Today, my owner has all of my maintenance records going back to 1981.
In 2010, I went to live with a new owner in Gettysburg, PA. My new owner made sure that I was always taken care of
and anytime I needed something, he would use NOS (new old stock) parts every chance he could. Like my prior owner,
he kept me all original.
In 2014, my Gettysburg owner decided he wanted a 1941 Indian motorcycle more than he wanted me so, we broke up.
I have all of my original paint with some "patina", too. I'm not completely perfect, but darn near!! My interior
and upholstery are all original and in STELLAR condition. I have an 8 ft. bed (an upgrade at the time), a 352 V8
engine (1965 was the first year for this engine) and my original AM radio and speaker (also an upgrade at the time)
work great. I have my original gas cap (these often get lost) and my lighter works, too. I have a standard
transmission with 3 on the tree. I do NOT have power steering or power brakes.
In 2014 I got 5 brand new Coker bias-ply radial tires. They are fabulous. Recently, my 51 year old exhaust system
was replaced. It was hand forged to fit me just right, but is exactly like my original system. Also, I have had
the driver’s side of my manifold replaced. Neither of these items were numbered.
I often go to car/truck shows and have won several trophies and plaques (these come with me - I'm proud of them).
I have even been invited to be in 2 movies, but could never make the schedule work. I have been in Christmas
parades and Homecoming parades as well. I still feel like a teenager and my original, low mileage reflects it.
Like my owner says, “You’re only original once”. I’m a much loved survivor and every person in my path has
loved me and taken really good care of me. I have spent very little time exposed to the elements. I'm a truly
special, unmolested piece of history. For all the purists out there, I'm what you're looking for.
I come with a box of old maintenance books, original paint chips and an ENTIRE EXTRA BOLT OF INTERIOR NOS FABRIC.
My interior is beautiful, but I come with enough to be re-upholstered if ever needed.
It looks like my very first owner put farm mirrors on me. It think my second owner did not like them and removed
them and put the smaller side mirrors on (which would have also been accurate for my production year and an
available option).

Ford Australia debuts Ranger-based Everest SUV concept
Tue, 13 Aug 2013Ford has been in hot water in Australia ever since it announced plans to end local production of the Falcon and Territory SUV. Besides canceling a model that is to Oz what the Mustang is to America, the end of production means more than a few folks will be out of work.
Keen to prove that it has a plan for the market, Ford has unveiled the Aussie-penned Everest Concept, a rough-and-tumble, seven-seat SUV. While not a direct replacement for the aging Territory (that role will eventually be filled by either the Edge or Flex, according to Car Advice) it's an indication from Ford's brass that the Blue Oval is still committed to Australia.
To prove that fact, Alan Mullaly, Mark Fields, Jim Farley and regional execs descended on Sydney for the debut of the new concept. Ford's Australian president and CEO, Bob Graziano, said of the Everest, "Our customers, our employees and Australia can be assured that we're connected to the nation and committed to our customers through terrific products with class-leading technologies."
Meet Shelby Mustang GT500 Miller, Iowa's latest hatchet-wielding criminal
Fri, Jul 11 2014Well, we've found the long-lost cousin of yesterday's Bentley-tattooed criminal from Florida. This is Shelby Mustang GT500 Miller. No, seriously. While his name seems just like the sort of thing we'd expect the Sunshine State to produce, he actually hails from Iowa. Despite coming from the Hawkeye State, Miller was arrested for a decidedly Floridian offense – getting in a bar fight and then returning with a hatchet. The only way this story could be more Florida is if meth, a manatee or bath salts were involved. The fight, which was at the Cheap Seats Sports Bar, started off typically enough, with a verbal argument in the parking lot (please, please let his nemesis be named "Chevrolet Camaro Z/28 Smith"). This, naturally, attracted passing police officers. Things were broken up and some friends took Miller to his home, which was apparently just behind the bar. That's when he returned with the hatchet tucked under his shirt. Miller promptly proceeded to take out the implement of destruction in the bar's bathroom and... forget about it entirely. Fortunately, the police hadn't left the area yet. Not surprisingly, Miller was arrested for a parole violation, as well as public intoxication and going armed with intent. Still, cool name, bro.

Ram 1500 bests new F-150 in MT pickup shootout
Tue, Nov 25 2014Ford's 2015 Ford F-150 is a technological tour-de-force, what with its aluminum-intensive construction and its powerful and efficient new 2.7-liter EcoBoost engine option. But now that it's hit the market, it's time to get down to brass tacks and find out how just the latest F-150 actually stands up to its rivals in the hyper-competitive fullsize segment. Motor Trend is among the first to round up the Ford (in Lariat 2.7-liter 4X4 guise here) and put it up against the Ram 1500 Outdoorsman EcoDiesel 4x4 and 5.3-liter-equipped Silverado 1500 LTZ Z71 to find out how Dearborn's new-think truck measures up. The test put the trio through over 1,000 miles of tough driving in California and Arizona in a variety of conditions from just cruising around unladen to hauling a trailer. MT found all three trucks to be competent, but the most praise got heaped on the Ram and the Ford, with the Chevrolet falling a step behind its competitors in many tests. Among the Ford's most-liked features was its 2.7-liter, twin-turbo V6 that helped make the F-150 easily the quickest of the group, with some editors saying the engine felt about the same whether driving around with cargo in the bed or not. There was some minor turbo lag during acceleration while trailering, but that issue affected the Ram, too. The Ram's powertrain was lauded, as well. The EcoDiesel was torquey around town, and the 1500's combination of an eight-speed automatic and air suspension was judged to be the best of the lot. It was the most difficult to get into the bed, though. The Ram also won the fuel economy award by netting 20-miles-per-gallon city and 28-mpg highway in the test to beat its Environmental Protection Agency ratings of 19/27. The Ford's EcoBoost managed 17/22, one mpg off each from the EPA numbers, and using a lot of throttle really depleted its efficiency. As MT notes, however, it would take time for the diesel's mileage savings to pay off at the pump for these two trucks. In the end, the Ram just barely eked out the win, with the title partially earned because of "the Ford's unknown maintenance and aluminum repair costs," according to MT.
