Ford F-100 / F100 Pickup - Classic, Clean, Every-day Driving Condition on 2040-cars
Evergreen, Colorado, United States
This is a rare find for someone who loves classic trucks, and doesn't just want to keep them in the garage but enjoys a truck that drives every day. I bought this for my 16-year old daughter about a year ago. When I bought it, it was in good running condition but needed a little work to get it to a comfortable, safe, every-day vehicle. When I started doing work on it, I let her drive my late model F-250, and she loves my big truck so much she wants to keep driving it, and I've enjoyed driving this 1964 F-100 so much I commute up and down I-70 every day, and never had a problem. My wife's parents recently gave us their used SUV, and (to my regret) the old '64 is one extra vehicle than we need. I've kept records of every part, repair and service over the past year. First here's the overall description of the truck you're bidding on: - 1964 Ford F-100 short bed - Great-working 4-wheel drive - a rare and valuable find on a truck of this vintage - with manual locking hubs - Re-built upon a 1983 Ford F-150 drive train, chassis and engine - Front disc brakes - Power steering - Edelbrock 305 V-8 engine, 4-barrel carb, automatic transmission - in disclosure, I really have no idea how many miles are on the engine - it leaks a little oil (but doesn't burn it), and runs great - Dual exhaust with glass packs - Super clean exterior re-painted with the original factory color of the truck in Ford Green - No notable rust - 15-inch custom wheels enhancing the truck's stance and retaining the classic looks - Gas tank moved from original position (behind the bench seat) and mounted between the frame rails under the bed (seems safer to me!) - Newer (however used - from an F-150 salvage) side-mounted mirrors for better visibility - After-market stereo with CD player and speakers (I have them wired in, but not mounted very pretty yet pending a new headliner) - Floor covering in great shape with no tears In addition, here are other minor but important enhancements/upgrades I've made: - Completely covered floors, behind the seat, and internal firewall with sound-proofing and fire-proofing fabric for safety, noise dampening, and insulation (haven't gotten to the ceiling liner yet - will have to be the next owner) - Added "saddle blanket" style seat cover over original bench seat. The seat has a minor seam gap that wasn't big enough for me to bother with, but it's on the driver side - New steering linkage and tie rods - New shocks - New alternator - New high capacity battery - New high capacity radiator - brand new - Replaced door sealing for tighter fit, insulation and noise dampening - Added extra seal to top of doors - you need to shut the doors a little harder to get them closed, but I like it because it's better insulated and lower noise, but if shutting them easier is what you want, they are easily removed - Sprayed additional coat of liquid sealer to interior (non-visible) door panels for additional sound proofing - Welded post in bed to secure spare rim/tire (spare rim is same size however not same style as four mounted rims) - Replaced the seals on the vent windows, plus replaced the hood bumpers to eliminate rattles here and there - Ford F-100 "arrow" style emblems on either side of the hood. These don't match the original "badge-style" for the '64, but I just think they look cooler and add to the truck's appearance - Re-built heater core that works like a charm - including de-frost that works equally well (replaced one of the defroster ducts), ran new hoses from radiator and re-painted core cover visible from inside the truck - Installed a wiper washer resevoir and electric pump, tubing, spray mounts on hood, along with electrical switch on dash - wipers work great - NEW 15-inch all-terrain tires - these have less than 300 miles on them; I hesitated to replace them before sale but one of the others was starting to dry rot and I felt better about selling it with fresh rubber The only disclosures I'd make to be sure the buyer of this great truck feels all has been mentioned: The original radio cover on the dash isn't all that well-secured. I have it held down with some loose screws and added rubber strip under it for anti-vibration but it would be extremely easy to secure this. There's a small scratch (pictured) on the passenger side. There's some missing knobs - a couple on the dash, the window cranks - but I haven't gotten around to re-painting the dash and putting the fit and finish on interior stuff like that. The hood secures tight, but I notice a larger gap on the passenger side than on the driver side - this isn't a problem, just cosmetic, and adjusting hood springs isn't something I've gotten around to. There is also a light scrape (not a dent) on the front passenger side corner (also pictured). The antennae works, but needs a new exterior rod (screw on type). I've taken pictures of any/all exterior stuff so you can see for yourself. The truck has never left Colorado since I've owned it, and where it will ship from if you are out of state (seller responsible for shipping), and I'm one of those guys who washes his truck every week, and have applied two coats of polish to the paint to keep it nice. This is a fun, every-day truck – rare 4x4 in an old classic like this, power steering and disc brakes and head-turning exterior. If I had a dollar for every time someone left a note on my windshield that they'd like to buy it I wouldn't have to list it here...! Happy bidding. |

2015 Ford Mustang 50th Anniversary Edition says 'happy birthday' in New York
Wed, 16 Apr 2014Fifty years ago this week, Ford debuted the first-ever Mustang at the New York World's Fair. And to celebrate, the Blue Oval is offering up this special, 50th Anniversary Edition 2015 Mustang, which makes its debut at the New York Auto Show. It'll be a seriously limited affair, with only 1,964 examples of the special edition Mustang slated to be produced (the number chosen to coincide with the 'Stang's first year in production). But for those who raise their hands for the 50th Anniversary package, there's a pretty sweet package in store.
The 50th Anniversary Edition is based on the 2015 Mustang GT with the Performance Pack, and is only available in two colors: Kona Blue, or Wimbledon White (pictured). The car also comes fully loaded - the only option for buyers to choose is the transmission. Should you opt for the six-speed automatic, you'll get a limited-slip rear differential with a 3.55:1 final-drive ratio (the 50th Anniversary car is also the only way to get a slushbox-equipped 'Stang with the Performance Pack). Selecting the six-speed manual 'box will net you a Torsen differential with a 3.73:1 ratio. All 50th Anniversary cars will be powered by Ford's 5.0-liter, naturally aspirated V8, estimated to produce more than 420 horsepower and 390 pound-feet of torque in the 2015 Mustang.
Inside, there's a cashmere-stitched, leather-wrapped steering wheel, with a similar detail found on the instrument panel, shift boot, door inserts, seats, and center armrest. Two-tone leather/black upholstery is also part of the 50th Anniversary package, and of course, there's a special logo on the seats.

2013 Ford C-Max Hybrid
Thu, 02 May 2013No Prius Killer
As much as we enthusiasts like to rail on the lowly Toyota Prius as the harbinger of death for all we hold dear, there's no denying the machine's absolute and interminable grip on the hybrid hatchback market in the United States. Toyota has so thoroughly sunk its teeth into the segment that you can clearly hear the automaker's incisors clacking against one another with the conclusion of each financial quarter. And there's little wonder why. Buyers can plop down less than $25,000 and have a runabout that can return up to an estimated 51 miles per gallon in the city, leaving every other entry on the market with precious little gristle to gnaw on.
Enter the 2013 Ford C-Max Hybrid. With its claimed 47 mpg combined, the funky little hatch from Europe already falls behind the 48 mpg city offered by the Prius, but that marginal sacrifice in fuel economy could be a small price to pay for buyers who want a credible alternative to the stalwart Toyota. Unfortunately, like the Fusion Hybrid, the C-Max Hybrid had trouble even approaching its Environmental Protection Agency estimates during our time with the car.
