1966 F100 - Clean Original Montana Survivor on 2040-cars
Belgrade, Montana, United States
|
1966 Ford F-100 Pickup V8, 4-Speed, Ford 9 Inch rear (3.25 gears) Odometer shows 85,200 miles; actual mileage unknown For sale is a clean, original, Ford pickup from dry, salt-free Montana. I bought this truck about a year ago and have spent that time fixing little things and using it for occasional times when I needed a pickup, usually on drives to Butte (140 miles round trip and over the Continental Divide) and it has never let me down - I have total confidence in the mechanical condition of this truck. The one time I filled it up to the brim and then again after that trip I got 16 MPG. This is a solid, clean, and very nice pickup. I will list everything I know about it, good and bad. THE GOOD: - Starts every time even in cold weather, runs very well - Solid tranny, clutch, rear end - both gear boxes topped off and no noise - Good brakes and tires - rears are new Michelins with hardly any wear (see photo), fronts are Dunlops w/ decent tread - New U-joints, Plugs, Wires/Cap/Rotor, Oil/Filter, Air Filter, Water Pump, Front Shocks - Starter/Alternator/Regulator/Solenoid/Battery Cables replaced before I bought it - Full gauges (w/ factory accessory Stewart Warner Amp/Oil gauges) - Tight front end, tracks straight down the road - Good heater/defrost, wipers, lights, horn all work - Always stays cool, never overheats, does 65 mph very comfortably and will go faster if you want - 3.25 gearset is a great all-around ratio - Bed floor ribs not smashed down - appears to have had a camper on it for most of its life - Repainted grill, wheels, and hubcaps in original color; body touched up in places with factory Sahara Beige before a two-stage compounding and wax job - Original seat has a new aftermarket cover; also new floormats THE REST: - Cracked windshield, broken middle section of headliner, cigar lighter/gas gauge/dome light/e-brake cable don’t work - Driver’s floor was rusted from water collecting under mat but I put in a repro patch panel (all sealed up and solid now) - Carb needs rebuilt/accelerator pump weak, but still perfectly drivable - RF wheel cylinder has a slow leak - Two-piece driveshaft vibrates at 35mph but vibration goes away below and above that - I replaced all 4 U-joints so it must be the center bearing (even swapped in a driveshaft out of another truck to verify that it wasn’t the tranny or rear end, and it’s not); I’ve never replaced one of those so I’m leaving that to the new owner - Leaks oil but I only today tightened up the loose gasket bolts on the valve covers and oil pan and it has already helped immensely; also added some oil leak stopper - Bed is surface-rusted from a load of dirt the previous owner left in the bed for a few months, and front top rail is dented (could be pulled out) - Minor rust in a few insolated places (see 2 photos for examples) but very minimal - NOT A RUST BUCKET - I want to make this very clear, rust is only in a few places such as where mud would gather and otherwise the body is very solid - Various scratches, paint defects, and minor dents on body - Driver's seat foam was ripped so I filled it before putting the new cover on - very comfortable OVERALL This is a very nice truck and gets lots of attention. It runs well and is very clean and dependable. It needs nothing immediately - you can drive it as-is and do more to it over time if you want. I think that if you put in a new windshield and a bedliner, it would really take it to the next level. This would also be a great restoration candidate. I have done my best to describe the truck honestly and in detail including the negative points, but still, I encourage and welcome all prospective bidders to see/drive the truck in person. This vehicle is sold “as-is” and “where-is” and absolutely no warrantees are made concerning it or its condition, either expressed or implied. Truck is located in Belgrade, Montana and buyer is responsible for all shipping arrangements and costs. I will be happy to assist in loading the truck if buyer sends a carrier. Clear title, ready to go. Cash in person talks. I will be happy to answer any questions. Check out my 100% Positive Feedback and bid with confidence - good luck! |

Autoblog Minute: New car customer satisfaction down according to latest ACSI report
Wed, Sep 9 2015Customers have spoken and automobile satisfaction is down in 2015. Autoblog's Chris McGraw reports on this edition of Autoblog Minute. Show full video transcript text [00:00:00] Customers have spoken and automobile satisfaction is down in 2015. I'm Chris McGraw and this is your Autoblog Minute. The American Customer Satisfaction Index or ACSI released its updated numbers and according to the survey, new car buyer satisfaction is down for the third straight year. According to an ACSI press release, customer satisfaction with new automobiles has fallen 3.7 percent, to 79 on its 100-point scale. The ACSI report is based on over 4,100 customer surveys collected in the second quarter of 2015 Sitting at the top of the industry in customer satisfaction is Toyota's Lexus brand with a score of 84. Which was good enough to dethrone Mercedes-Benz, which fell 3% to a score of 83. Of the Big Three, Ford was the only domestic automaker to maintain overall customer satisfaction with its score of 81. General Motors slipped 3% to 79 and Fiat Chrysler had a 5% drop, registering a score of 75 out the possible 100. What's driving this trend of customer dissatisfaction? ASCI points to the rise in recalls and car prices. Where do you land on customer satisfaction spectrum? Sound off in the comments with your thoughts on the current state of car ownership and brand quality. For Autoblog, I'm Chris McGraw.

Uber hopes facilities in Detroit will help shape its autonomous future
Mon, Sep 19 2016Hot off the heels of unleashing its fleet of self-driving vehicles in Pittsburgh, PA, Uber announced plans to open a new facility in the Detroit, MI area, reports Automotive News. The new facility was announced at an event hosted by Society of Automotive Engineers in Detroit, MI. Uber's vice president of global vehicle programs Sherif Marakby revealed the news, reports Automotive News. The facility is meant to help the ride-sharing company collaborate with suppliers and automakers in the area. There's no word on where Uber will build the new facility or how big it will be, as those factors have yet to be determined. Just like Pittsburgh, PA, Detroit, MI could become another testing ground for the ride-sharing company. The latest move to open a facility in the Detroit area comes after Uber offered users in Pittsburgh the chance to ride in one of its autonomous vehicle as it looks to gain vital real-world testing. Uber is utilizing a fleet of modified Ford Fusions. Earlier this year in April, the automaker announced a partnership with Google, Lyft, Uber, and Volvo to develop autonomous cars. A new facility in Detroit would strengthen the partnership and help Uber, as well as Ford put autonomous vehicles on the road faster.

Formula Drift kicks off 11th season on Streets of Long Beach
Tue, 08 Apr 2014The 2014 Formula Drift series kicked off last weekend in Long Beach, and saw Chris Forsberg, who you'll recall went mad and drifted around a warehouse in an Infiniti M, take the title behind the wheel of his Hankook Tire Nissan 370Z (shown above).
Forsberg really ran away with the first round of competition, outscoring his closest opponent, second-place finisher Kenneth Moen and his Bridges Racing Nissan 240SX, by 20 points. Third place was 2013 championship winner Michael Essa and his Yokohama BMW M3, 30.5 points behind Forsberg.
In the manufacturers' title, Nissan took an early lead with 122 points, which isn't a huge surprise considering five of the top ten drifters were piloting either a Z or a product of the brand's S platform. Ford, which had two drivers (Justin Pawlak and Vaughn Gittin, Jr.) in the top ten, took home second place, while BMW is currently third in the manufacturers' standings.
