Hello. I am selling my 1966 Ford F-100.

The truck is about 3/4 restored and is ready to drive home. It's a real eye catcher. Loud, flashy, and fast.

Here are some bullet notes:

* Engine starts right up and runs like a beast. Seriously...it runs like a raped ape. I have to start in 2nd gear because there's just too much power in 1st gear.

* Newer upholstery - matching exterior paint scheme

* I just replaced the pitman arm and steering box in February of this year. The steering needs to be tightened up just a bit though. It's a little loose.

* Truck runs smooth on the highway. It can easily cruise at 80mph.

* I put in a new Edelbrock carburetor (replaced the manual carburetor)

* 4 speed on the floor manual transmission 390CU V8 big block

* 1966 F100 on a F250 chassy

* Long bed with passenger side locking tool box

* RARE factory 4x4 with locking hubs...but the front drive shaft and transfer case have been removed for 2wd only. I do not have them.

* The locking hubs rotate easily

* New 35 inch BF Goodwrich All Terrain tires

* Guy I bought it from in November just serviced the brakes, engine, new air cleaner, new battery, new front bumper.

* The body has some rust spots but overall it's in VERY good condition.

* The body is straight. (The gaps are even on both sides where the tail gate meets the bed)

* Factory A/C blower

* Suspension lift (Not sure hot many inches but it's very tall)

* No rips or tears in the seats.

* Custom roll bar

* Tow package

* Rust is absent or minimal on the "usual" spots that these models are prone to. (Driver and passenger outside feet area by that vent)

* Wipers have been disconnected because they won't turn off. I never had time to figure out why they don't work properly

* The truck isn't perfect...but it's running and just needs some TLC.

Why am I selling it: I changed jobs to stay Stateside and was going to use it as my daily driver. But my local job fell through and I'm back working overseas. My plan was to slowly restore it over the next few years. But since I'm back working overseas...I really don't need this project anymore. I bought the truck at the end of 2013 from a dealer in Daytona. I really only owned it for a few months. I really don't want to sell it but I'm out of the country for several months at a time. There's no need for this kind of project. The truck is currently at my dad's house in Davie, FL. He'll be showing the truck.

Disclaimer: I am listing this truck locally and it also has a 'For Sale' sign in it. I'll remove the E-bay listing if I sell it locally. I am not a moto-gear head. I might be missing some minor detail that needs replaced or fixing. But the truck, overall, is in GREAT condition.

Please feel free to ask me any questions and thanks for looking.

Amelia Island 2013: 50 years of the Ferrari-slaying Ford GT40

Wed, 13 Mar 2013

Originally developed with the sole purpose of being a Ferrari rival to compete at the 24 Hours of Le Mans, the Ford GT40 became a prominent racing machine in the 1960s in both Europe and the US. Not wanting to leave such an important car out of the fun, the 2013 Amelia Island Concours d'Elegance also took time out from its other celebrations to recognize the 50-year anniversary of the GT40.
Over its short lifespan, the GT40 was offered in a handful of configurations, but the classic short-tailed (Mk I and Mk II) bodystyles were well represented... especially in Gulf livery. James Glickenhaus (of Ferrari P4/5 fame) had his bright yellow Mk IV in the field, and there were several others in this bodystyle, including one that has seen plenty of time on the track judging by its chipped-up nose.
As a fitting statement for the car's lengthy racing history, GT40 Chassis Number 1075 won this year's Concours de Sport award. This car took home the checkered flag at Le Mans in 1968 and 1969, and racked up a total of six wins in just 11 races.

Consumer Reports criticizes small turbo engines for misleading performance, fuel economy claims [w/video]

Tue, 05 Feb 2013

Consumer Reports has taken aim at at small-displacement, forced-induction engines, saying the powerplants don't manage to deliver on automaker fuel economy claims. Manufacturers have long held that smaller, turbocharged engines pack all power of their larger displacement cousins with significantly better fuel economy, but the research organization says that despite scoring high EPA economy numbers, the engines are no better than conventional drivetrains in both categories. Jake Fisher, director of automotive testing for Consumer Reports, says the forced induction options "are often slower and less fuel efficient than larger four and six-cylinder engines."
Specifically, CR calls out the new Ford Fusion equipped with the automaker's Ecoboost 1.6-liter four-cylinder engine. The institute's researchers found the engine, which is a $795 option over the base 2.5-liter four-cylinder, fails to match competitors in acceleration and served up 25 miles per gallon in testing, putting the sedan dead last among other midsize options.
The Chevrolet Cruze, Hyundai Sonata Turbo and Ford Escape 2.0T all got dinged for the same troubles, though Consumer Reports has found the turbo 2.0-liter four-cylinder in the BMW 328i does deliver on its promises. You can check out the full press release below. You can also read the full study on the Consumer Reports site, or scroll down for a short video recap.
