Super rare 72 Sport Custom Ford F100 shortbed, two tone, a/c, p/b, original CA truck.

I acquired this neat truck from the 2nd owner since 1976 (see original ca pink slip with date) on a ranch in central California. Test drove and , It ran great initially but was developing smoke from the left side. it turned out to be condensation, not smoke, and was diagnosed as the head gasket failing on that side. It is driveable , however starting it too much isn't wise with water in the system. Beyond that, this is a great truck. Brakes, trans, lights, heater, steering, etc... all seemed to be in good functioning condition. Truck is mostly rust free, and very solid. Main rust is surface area (mainly on the underside) only and I have documented the whole thing in pictures. I don't think there are any rust through, or even weak areas other then a small amount of battery acid corrosion in the tray directly under the battery itself. Extremely straight with no detected body fill or replaced panels. Just a 'good 'ol boy' truck that lived a dry CA ranch life. Not perfect, but hard to come by in this unmolested condition. For what it's worth, owner stated to me that the motor had very few miles on rebuild, but was 10 years ago. With a newer looking Eldebrock Carburator and a few other exterior components, owners integrity, and the way it ran and drove, I believe this to be true, but no documents exist to support it.

This would make an excellent start to a 'Patina' custom on a very RARE truck or a great candidate for a full resto.

Great opportunity to the right buyer.

Original CA blue plates, and small ca 'pink' slip title included.

NHTSA releases updated Takata airbag recalled cars list, but it still has errors

Wed, 22 Oct 2014



Unfortunately, the government's list still contains errors.
The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration has issued an updated list of vehicle models that it's urging owners to repair under the mushrooming Takata airbag inflator recall. The latest version adds vehicles from new automakers like Subaru and Ford that are missing from the original announcement, and it also removes erroneous entries from General Motors, leaving only the 2005 Saab 9-2X (a reskinned Subaru WRX), and the 2003-2005 Pontiac Vibe, a joint project with Toyota.

Who 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.
