Up for auction is a very clean 1970 F-100 that I purchased from the original owner, who lovingly maintained it all these years. Truck is a cream yellow color with a black interior. The interior is in excellent condition, outside of the carpet which could use replacing. The dash pad and dash board look about new, as does the seat and door panels. The original owner added several accessories such as a vintage Radio Shack AM/FM/cassette deck, a CB radio, electronic brake controller, and utilized the existing dash switches to control the front mounted fog lights, as well as lighting and speakers in the camper shell. The three spoke steering wheel with horn ring is also in great shape! Truck is powered by a 302 2-barrel engine that was installed in 2001 according to the receipt (and only has about 4700 miles on it now), smooth shifting C4 automatic transmission, and a 9" Ford rear axle with 3.00 gears and posi-traction. Truck also has power steering and power drum brakes. The original owner wanted this truck ready to 'go' at all times, therefore everything under the hood appears to be in great shape. I have converted the truck from points ignition to electronic via a Pertronix Ignitor. Truck has dual 2" exhaust with quiet glass-pack mufflers and chrome tips. The body is very clean, although there are a few dings and scratches here and there as the truck was used for camping, etc. The early 70s aluminum camper shell is in great condition, and there is a carpet kit installed in the bed. Truck also has an aftermarket wind-visor installed with functional running lights, dual CB antennas, dual chrome door mirrors, and mud flaps at all four corners. A vintage bug deflector is installed on the hood too. The super rare American Racing wheels are very unique, they were made in 1976 and have real wood inserts in them!!!!! There is a spare tire with a spare American Racing wheel that matches the ones on the truck, and a set of spare centers are included (spares are plastic though...). USA made tires are near new as well. The truck has a few minor issues that I have noticed. First the doors could use new anti-rattle kits installed as the windows are slightly loose and rattle and have wind noise at speed. Second, there is some rust in the crossmember under the cab on the drivers side (cab mounts are perfect as owner would keep oily rags stuffed in the cab mounts to keep them from rusting). There is also some rust in the inner fenders in the usual spots...... Third, the original windshield has a few rock chips in it. The truck also really needs a complete and thorough detailing job to look it's best, and probably a little mechanical maintenance as the truck has sat much more then it has driven.....though truck has been very reliable for me when I have driven it. This truck is not perfect, but it is a clean and cared for example of the 68-72 F-100 generation. I never planned on selling it, but medical bills say otherwise! Please email with questions and thanks for looking!

Bill Ford wins National Pond Hockey Championship with employees
Tue, 11 Feb 2014Who says executives aren't people? This past weekend, Bill Ford, executive chairman of Ford Motor Company, and a group of employees trekked up to Eagle River, WI for a few games of pond hockey. Team Ford took part in the 2014 Labatt Blue/USA Pond Hockey Championship, capturing its fifth title in the 50+ Tier 1 Division.
"It feels great to win," Ford, who plays on the team alongside other Ford employees, told the USA Hockey website. "It was fun to play [River Valley Pioneers] because they're great guys and we play them every year. We finally beat them, which we were due. It was a very clean game, a tough game."
The FoMoCo team managed to score seven goals to River Valley's two, and went undefeated in all five of its games during the tourney. Take a look below for the official press release on Team Ford's win.
For EV drivers, realities may dampen the electric elation
Mon, Feb 20 2023The Atlantic, a decades-old monthly journal well-regarded for its intelligent essays on international news, American politics and cultural happenings, recently turned its attention to the car world. A piece that ran in The Atlantic in October examined the excesses of the GMC Hummer EV for compromising safety. And now in its latest edition, the magazine ran a compelling story about the challenges of driving an electric vehicle and how those experiences “mythologize the car as the great equalizer.” Titled “The Inconvenient Truth About Electric Vehicles,” the story addresses the economics of EVs, the stresses related to range anxiety, the social effects of owning an electric car — as in, affording one — and the overarching need for places to recharge that car. Basically, author Andrew Moseman says that EV life isn't so rosy: “On the eve of the long-promised electric-vehicle revolution, the myth is due for an update. Americans who take the plunge and buy their first EV will find a lot to love Â… they may also find that electric-vehicle ownership upends notions about driving, cost, and freedom, including how much car your money can buy. "No one spends an extra $5,000 to get a bigger gas tank in a Honda Civic, but with an EV, economic status is suddenly more connected to how much of the world you get to see — and how stressed out or annoyed youÂ’ll feel along the way.” Moseman charts how a basic Ford F-150 Lightning electric truck might start at $55,000, but an extended-range battery, which stretches the distance on a charge from 230 miles to 320, “raises the cost to at least $80,000. The trend holds true with all-electric brands such as Tesla, Rivian, and Lucid, and for many electric offerings from legacy automakers. The bigger battery option can add a four- or five-figure bump to an already accelerating sticker price.” As for the charging issue, the author details his anxiety driving a Telsa in Death Valley, with no charging stations in sight. “For those who never leave the comfort of the city, these concerns sound negligible," he says. "But so many of us want our cars to do everything, go everywhere, ferry us to the boundless life we imagine (or the one weÂ’re promised in car commercials),” he writes. His conclusions may raise some hackles among those of us who value automotive independence — not to mention fun — over practicalities.
