1973 FORD F100. TONS OF NEW PARTS!!!

Up for auction is my 1973 Ford F100. It took me a long time to find a truck that has such a nice, solid body and frame, and almost 3 years to get it where it is today. Time and money constraints and it is time to sell it.

Since I purchased the truck about 3 years ago, it has had the front end completely re-done, new clutch, new brakes, a new headliner, oak steering wheel, leather seat, floor pan repair and new carpet, new radiator, new carburetor, new headers and custom exhaust with thrush mufflers, new rear bumper, new waterpump, new freeze plugs, new valve covers, pinion seal replaced. In the last year or so I have replaced all of the lug nuts and installed new tires.

This truck is in excellent condition, especially for a 73. It runs great and sounds wonderful with the headers and thrush mufflers. I just had it pass Va state inspection, and is good until May of 2015. If you are looking for a truck to turn some heads and get some thumbs up from other drivers, this is the one. This would also make a good project if you wanted to clean up the engine compartment and give her a nice paint job and make it a weekend "show" truck.

All said and done with the original price of the truck, I am probably about 2 times more into it than my reserve price. If you are looking for a truck without major rust issues, then this is the one you might be looking for, especially a truck that is here on the East Coast. Frame and body are nice and solid. I had even started brushing, sanding and priming/painting the frame. As far as replacing any items, I really can't think of anything that it might need in the near future as most of it has been replaced. In fact, it also just recently had a new alternator and thermostat as well.

If you have any questions, please send a message, or call Craig at 703-300-4902.

Good luck and happy bidding!!!!

Automakers tussle over owners of 'orphan' makes

Thu, 10 May 2012

When General Motors put down several of its brands in recent years, it also let loose thousands of brand-loyal customers who will eventually need another car.
R.L. Polk Associates estimates there are more than 18 million cars from 16 discontinued makes on the road today. Those "orphan owners" have sales-hungry competitors seeing dollar signs. GM is offering Saturn owners $1,000 cash toward a Chevy Cruze, Cadillac CTS or a GMC Acadia. Ford is giving its Mercury lease customers a chance to get out of their contracts with no early-termination penalty and offering to waive six remaining payments if they drive off in a Ford or Lincoln.
Edmunds.com research shows the efforts are paying off somewhat for GM, with 39 percent of Pontiac owners, 37 percent of Hummer owners and 31 percent of Saturn owners taking delivery of another GM-branded vehicle. But that leaves as much as 69 percent of owners going elsewhere. Ford, Honda and Toyota seem to be attracting many former GM owners.

Ford Explorer Jackson Pollock Edition results in trip to hospital

Tue, 02 Jul 2013

Among the many useful pieces of driving advice we've taken to heart over the years, "Safely secure all cargo" is etched pretty high on our personal stone tablets. We've had a couple of frustrating moments over the years (numerous wonky cupholders and too-tall lidded cups; a radar detector that released its suction cups and dashed itself below the dashboard, etc.), but never anything like the scene above.
These photos above come courtesy of the Washington State Patrol, and they show the unfortunate aftermath of a driver, his dog, and his Ford Explorer after it crashed near the town of Belfair last week. According to reports, the man was schlepping five-gallon containers of paint inside his vehicle when he was involved in an unexplained accident. It's not clear what triggered the crash, but the impromptu abstract painting covered the whole of the interior, including the driver and his faithful companion.
The man was transported to a local hospital for minor injuries, and his dog was cleaned and later taken to a humane society.

Ford Fiesta ST in startling track battle against Toyota GT86

Wed, 26 Jun 2013

On the surface, there's very little that the Ford Fiesta ST and Toyota GT86 (or the Scion FR-S that is sold in the US, or the largely similar Subaru BRZ) share in common. One is a hatchback with power coming from a turbocharged engine routed to the front wheels. The other is a coupe with power coming from a naturally aspirated four-cylinder boxer engine routed to the rear wheels.
Thing is, both of them are reasonably priced performance cars aimed at a similar segment of the automotive marketplace, so a comparison isn't out of the question. It is with all of this in mind that we direct you to the video below, in which the blokes from Evo pit the two manic little machines against one another on a race track. The result? Well, it can be summed up this way: Fast versus fun.
See how the track battle goes down in the video below.
