1972 Ford F100 Explorer Package, Original, 390 V8, Automatic, Air, Nice on 2040-cars
|
1972 Ford F100 Explorer Package. This is a really neat, mostly original truck. I have driven it mostly as a "go to the hardware store" truck for the past year. Starts right up and has never left me stranded. Strong 390 V8 engine and a good shifting 3 speed automatic. Engine sounds very good and the exhaust has been dumped near the rear axle. Sounds mean. This truck has alot of options. See below as I think it has all options from package A through D. Some are missing now (hubcaps and bright box rails), but as you can see, came with alot of special package items. From decoding the VIN the truck was manufactued in February of 1972 in Kansas City and ordered by the Dallas district. Golden Rod Yellow paint with Medium Ginger interior and black mat flooring. 4,550 GVW and it looks like this truck has the special "helper shackles/springs" for that little bit of extra carrying or towing capacity. All of the gauges work, the odometor still works and is showing 11,513.4 at the time of listing. I can only assume this to be 111,513 miles. I will say that the truck looks very good for a 44 year old truck. Now, there are several dings and dents over the entire truck and the paint is not showroom condition by any means, but, overall it looks very shiny and in good shape. As you will see in the pics, the front drivers side fender looks to have been repainted at one time and it has not kept the same shade of yellow over the years. Additionally, this truck has AC and it still blows (compressor not turning by belt) but the unit under the dash still turns on and blows. I have the correct belt for the compressor and it will be included with the sale. Compressor does turn freely. I repaired the top AC suction line as it was cracked and I can only guess that this was the reason for the AC not working. I have not tried to charge it since the belt is not on. But, it may be just a belt installed, charge and you have a working AC. Has an aftermarket radio and 4 speakers with nice wooden cabinets. 2 under the dash and 2 in the B pillers of the cab. The seat is in great shape on the top/back section, the bottom section is in need of repair so a bench seat cover was put on. But the top section literally looks just a few years old underneath. Has a set of later model chrome factory wheels with a very good set of Cooper tires. Lots of tread left. Has a recently replaced alternator. All of the exterior lights work. Turn signals work as well as brake lights. I replaced the side marker lights with a nice chrome set on the back of the bed. So, if you are looking for an almost all original truck this is a good one. Most if not all of the trim is still on the truck. It does look like it came with bed top rails from the below article, this truck does not have them. The holes are there but rails long gone. Will need a new dash pad or the old one just taken off as it is cracked. The windsheild also has a crack in it. Windows roll up and down good and the locks work. The shifter on the column is a little persinickity at times but shifts. Looks like the arrow and the letters sometimes don't line up so you just have to make sure you are in the correct R, N, P, or D. Not a big deal but wanted to point that out. Good luck and feel free to contact me if you have any other questions. Will load as many pics as I can through ebay. If you are the winning bidder I require a $500.00 to be sent via PayPal within 24 hours. The balance either through cash or bank wire within 7 days. Clear Oklahoma Title on hand. I will assist with loading truck for shipping in Edmond, OK or will deliver for an additional $300.00 anywhere along I-35 (within 5 miles east or west of I-35) from OKC to Dallas as I travel this route weekly for business.

Lincoln plans electrified versions of all models by 2022, say sources
Fri, Sep 8 2017DETROIT - Ford Motor Co's premium Lincoln brand plans to offer hybrid gasoline-electric versions of all its U.S. models by 2022, according to three sources familiar with the plans. Details could be announced as early as Oct. 3, when Ford Chief Executive Officer Jim Hackett plans to update investors on the automaker's strategy. Company officials are also considering whether to introduce one or more all-electric Lincoln models, one source said. The proposed electrification scheme could be critical to Lincoln's future in China, which will require automakers to make electric vehicles an increasing percentage of their total sales. The Lincoln hybrids are part of a broader Ford program to offer at least 18 new electric and hybrid models over the next five years, the sources said. Lincoln aims to follow a path blazed this year by several European premium brands, including Daimler AG, Zhejiang Geely Holding Group's Volvo Cars, BMW and Jaguar Land Rover, all of which have announced plans to offer more hybrid and all-electric vehicles. Global luxury brands are responding to competitive pressure from Elon Musk's Tesla Inc, and proposals by the Chinese government to mandate significantly higher levels of electric vehicle sales in the world's largest auto market. The plan to offer a portfolio of Lincoln hybrid models was crafted before Hackett took over in May, the sources said. Ford said in January 2016 it would spend $4.5 billion to electrify a portion of its U.S. fleet, including hybrid versions of the Mustang and the F-150, and at least 11 other models. The extent of its electrification effort, including details on specific new and redesigned models, has not previously been disclosed. A Ford spokesman said the company would not comment on future products. As the Lincoln brand rolls out redesigned versions of its existing models and introduces at least one new model, it is planning to introduce plug-in hybrid versions of those vehicles, beginning with the redesigned MKC crossover and the new Aviator crossover in 2019, the sources said. The redesigned Lincoln Navigator utility vehicle, which goes on sale this autumn, is expected to add a conventional hybrid version in 2019. Subsequent redesigned Lincoln models, including the MKZ sedan in 2020 and the Continental sedan and MKX crossover in 2022, are expected to include plug-in hybrid variants, the sources said.
Ford Green Zone works magic with GPS to make your drive smarter, cleaner
Fri, Aug 29 2014For the most part, plug-in hybrids rely on the power stored in the battery until that charge is depleted. Unless the switch can be changed manually, it's only then that the cars fire up the internal combustion engine and begin using the fossil fuels on board. This is ideal, of course, when one's drive isn't long enough that the car needs to start sipping gasoline at all. On longer commutes, when it's certain that the route is longer than the car's all-electric range, this isn't necessarily the most efficient use of energy. Ford's Green Zone system is designed to save some of that juice for the parts of the drive that require slower speeds. Ford is working on a smart system, based on Nokia mapping technology, that uses GPS data to use both the electricity and conventional fuel more efficiently. Since battery power is less efficient at highway speeds, Ford's Green Zone system is designed to save some of that juice for the parts of the drive that require slower speeds, rather than just using up all the electrons right at the beginning of the drive. Using a website or the in-car navigation system, the driver can pinpoint the parts of the route, highlighted in green, where using battery power would be more effective, and set the car to automatically switch to electricity for those sections. Depending on the route, the car could automatically switch back and forth between the two power sources multiple times, particularly if the drive is a mix between city and highway driving. Of course, Green Zone will be go beyond that. The program is being developed to take traffic and road grade into account, details that allow the car to be make even smarter choices to improve efficiency. Ford even hopes to have Green Zone learn driver habits, and respond accordingly depending on who is driving the car. The system could control other features as well, such as anticipating corners and shifting the headlights to better illuminate the road ahead. Green Zone could also potentially use information from vehicle-to-vehicle networking to control functions in the car. The Green Zone system still has a few years before it will be ready to be put into production vehicles, but Ford is confident it will make its way onto the road eventually. As with other innovations that improve efficiency and make our vehicles smarter, we can expect to see similar technology from other manufacturers, until it becomes a regular part of driving in the future.
2013 Ford F-150 SVT Raptor Supercrew
Fri, 15 Mar 2013I'm not normally a pickup kind of guy, but the 2013 Ford F-150 SVT Raptor won me over nearly instantly. The street-legal trophy truck - there is really no other way to accurately describe it - is big, brawny and incredibly capable. Let's just say it's every bit the monster it visually portrays. I spent a week pretending I was one of Ford's Baja 1000 drivers, but lacking desert sand, I headed into the local mountains where a mild winter storm had dropped a couple inches of fresh snow on my favorite off-road park. The Ford was, for the most part, practically unstoppable.
Ford offers its SVT Raptor package on Supercab and Supercrew platforms with the five-foot, five-inch bed. The Supercrew I tested rides on a 144-inch wheelbase (about a foot longer than the Supercab). In addition to its cosmetic differences when compared to the standard F-150 - there isn't a young boy on the planet who doesn't think the matte black Ford grille is cool - the Raptor has a 73.6-inch track - nearly seven inches wider than the track on the standard F-150.
After upgrading the F-150 SVT Raptor significantly for the 2012 model year, there are only a few changes for 2013. The list includes standard high-intensity discharge (HID) headlamps, Hill Descent Control, forged beadlock-capable wheels, and the new matte Terrain color (aka "Desert Storm") option seen on my test model.
