 For sale here we have a fine example of what Detroit was once capable of... This 1973 F-100 is good looking, very useful, fun to drive, and gets a conversation started everywhere it goes.  I have driven this truck from Columbus, OH to El Paso, TX and back hauling two motorcycles in the back and it never missed a beat.  The engine and transmission have been professionally rebuilt; I can provide receipts for the work that was done on it.  Also installed at that time were stainless headers, high-performance starter, HVHP oil pump, new power steering pump, and a Holley 2-barrel carburetor.  The interior was  redone as well and is in very nice condition.  In addition, this truck has a "Hidden Hitch" brand frame-mounted Reese hitch, variable-rate adjustable electric trailer brake system, and 7-pin trailer connection.  With this setup and the automatic transmission it makes an excellent, comfortable tow vehicle. 

To be fair and honest, this is not a show truck.  There is some rust on the bed sides, and a little on the door frames.  It is mostly surface rust, not vast expanses of cancerous rot.  This truck spent most of its life in North Dakota, not on Ohio's salty roads.  It will be a good truck for many years just the way it is, or it would make a good candidate for restoration if you wanted to make the body perfect.  The drive train needs nothing.  The radio stopped working, so I took it out.  The aluminum trim needs to be glued back on to the sliding rear window, but nothing is missing.  Also the vinyl armrest/door handle needs to be screwed on to the driver's door; I just haven't taken the inner door skin off to do so.  Again, all the necessary parts are present.  I even have the original owner's manual and warranty ID card.

I can deliver this truck anywhere in Ohio for $0.50 per mile.  I may be able to deliver elsewhere, but please ask before assuming I will do so.  I would prefer for the buyer to pick it up in Columbus, OH, or make arrangements to have it picked up.  I can store the truck for up to 2 weeks after the auction provided that payment is made.

A $200 deposit is required via PayPal within 24 hours of the auction ending.  The balance is to be paid in cash or check prior to taking possession of the truck.  Any check must clear my bank before it goes; that is why cash is the most desirable way to complete the transaction.  I would be willing to discuss trades if you have a pre-1970 Harley-Davidson (not a Sportster.)  Otherwise, cash is king.  Bid like you mean it; only the last one counts!

Please ask any questions prior to bidding and I will do my best to answer them in a timely manner.  Good luck and Happy Bidding!

 I forgot to mention... the truck has brand new full dual exhaust with Flowmaster mufflers.  Sounds good, runs even better!

Automakers donating money, vehicles and supplies to Oklahoma tornado relief effort

Fri, 24 May 2013

Judging by the destruction the Oklahoma City area experienced earlier this week, residents are going to need a lot of help in coming months. Fortunately, a number of automakers - including General Motors, Ford, Chrysler, Volkswagen, Honda and Toyota - have stepped up to donate money, supplies and vehicles to aid in the recovery and rebuilding processes.
Here's a quick rundown of which automakers have pitched in and what each contributed so far:
Ford Motor Company has donating $250,000 and a Transit Connect to the American Red Cross, and it will match all other donations made to the Red Cross (up to $250,000) using a special URL tied to the latter's website (link here). Additionally, its local Oklahoma dealers have thrown in an extra $150,000 for the United Way and the automaker will be offering an extra $500 toward the purchase of a new Ford vehicle.

Ford Mustang challenges Lamborghini in amazing drift battle

Fri, Dec 18 2015

Engines scream and tires billow with smoke as Vaughn Gittin Jr. and Daigo Saito stage a drift battle through an abandoned Japanese resort that looks like a Russian village in this stunning clip. The high-performance ballet of these amazing machines sliding around makes this one of the best videos of the year. To fight this duel, Gittin straps into his 550-horsepower Ford Mustang, and Saito meets the pony car's challenge with a drift-prepped Lamborghini Murcielago. The drivers hit a curving road and show expert car control as the men slide these very different vehicles just inches from each other. Eventually, night descends, and they add some fire to the scene to give the stunts a more apocalyptic look. The production values for this short clip are phenomenal, and the editing makes the viewer feel right in the middle of the action. If you want to get behind the scenes of this impressive display of drifting, Speedhunters did a great job capturing the event in photos. Related Video:

Spy shooter claims proof of upcoming aluminum Ford F-Series Super Duty

Thu, 26 Jun 2014

Ford has already confirmed that the 2015 F-150 (pictured above) was just the beginning for its more extensive use of aluminum. CEO Alan Mulally said it himself during the 2014 Detroit Auto Show. We've even already seen the future Raptor testing with an aluminum body. But a recent discovery from an intrepid spy photographer might indicate that the lightweight metal is coming to the Blue Oval's Super Duty pickups in their upcoming generation, as well.
According to Automotive News, a spy shooter in Colorado spotted a prototype for the next-gen F-350 testing. He happened to have a magnet on hand and got close enough to check the truck out. When he held it up to the metal in the bed, it didn't stick, which signaled to him a switch from steel to aluminum.
Obviously, this claim raises some questions. Given that it was a test vehicle, one possibility is that the Blue Oval is just evaluating the feasibility of switching to aluminum for the Super Duty trucks, not necessarily committed to it yet. Ford has been testing it quite exhaustively, after all. In fact, much of the rest of the truck in question was covered in camouflage, so it's possible that the magnet failed to work along the rest of the body not because it was aluminum, but because it wasn't powerful enough to get through the disguising material. Thus, the lightweight metal's use could be far less substantial than on the new F-150. Still, it was a clever idea for the cameraman to check things out and might have given us the first hint about brand's next heavy-duty models.
