This is a Great Truck for a Total Restoration Project.

I purchased it 2 days ago from a Nice Southern Gentleman in Alabama who bought it to restore but has only kept it in his enclosed hobby garage and not touched it.

I brought it to Chattanooga and dropped it off with my old school ford mechanic. In 4 hours or less he has it running and almost ready for test driving. He replaced the fuel line and fuel pump in addition to adjusting the timing. I went down and spent a few mins today and he said he would be test driving it on Monday with instructions to do whatever is necessary to make it road worthy and safe.

The truck has dual exhaust with nice sounding glass packs (strange as everything else looks stock).

The body is very straight (better than any vehicle I have seen half this age without major restoration) and event he tail gate and bed is Great. It is obvious the was not a farm or work truck. All the glass is in good shape. The chrome bumpers look good, however with a new pain job, I would go for new chrome on the sides (custom cab) as this truck deserves it. The headliner insert and the door panel inserts are good. It appears zero rust in the floor anywhere. The instrument panel display looks great, however the dash pad has a cracks in it. Every item needed to put this truck to a perfect 10 is now available online. The 1966 version is the 4th generation F series (of 10) and has the famed Twin-I Beam suspension. One of my best friends in high school had the coolest 1966 (red also) F100 with a 352 three speed manual transmission and every since I have wanted one.

A major motivation in my buying the truck is that I have a later model 5.0 v8 with Automatic-overdirve Transmission that has been rebuilt that I intend to put in the right vehicle. Just as I was making the deal to go pick-up this truck a gentleman in east Tennesse agreed to sell me a 1959 Thunderbird (which desired more than the truck). My stipulation was that he had a title or current registration as that is necessary to register here in Hamilton county Tennessee. The gentleman with the truck went and register it at my request, so I felt obligated to buy it. Now the Tbird is regiester so I can buy it.

Since I have an F250 4x4 the Thunderbird is my first choice.

I can hardly wait to get the truck home so I can clean it up and be able to show the quality I see here. That will happen next week weather permitting. I will update and add new pics or will sent them direct to serious bidders as requested. I will consider selling the 5.0 and Auto Tranny for $1500 more, but only as a package deal.

Please only bid if you are serious. If you have less than positive feedback of 10, Do Not Bid without speaking with me first.Don't bid unless you have the funds, and or permission from wife to buy. I will try to answer all serious questions promptly.

I will be listing the Truck for sale locally so I reserve the right to cancel the auction at any time.

Thank You

Steve in Chattanooga

A hybrid and electric Corvette, plus we drive the Ioniq 5 | Autoblog Podcast #728

Fri, May 6 2022

In this episode of the Autoblog Podcast, Editor-in-Chief Greg Migliore is joined by Road Test Editor Zac Palmer. Zac drove the electric 2022 Hyundai Ioniq 5, and Greg drove the fire-breathing 2022 Maserati Levante Trofeo. The two dive deep into the relatively heavy news week by starting off with a discussion about the upcoming hybrid Corvette before chatting about what the electric Corvette might be like. They have a chat about the possibility of Porsche and Audi officially joining the Formula 1 field. Then, Greg and Zac get into some quick-hitting news to round out the segment by dissecting the updated Kia Soul (now without a turbo), the 30th Anniversary Edition Land Rover Defender and the new CEO at Aston Martin. Following the news and drive reviews, they rope in Senior Editor, Green John Beltz Snyder to give them a quick download of what went down at the first drive for the 2022 Ford F-150 Lightning. Finally, they reach into the mailbag and answer some questions from someone who is less than pleased about infotainment systems in some new cars. And lastly, the gang hears back from someone they helped out in a prior Spend My Money segment on the podcast. Send us your questions for the Mailbag and Spend My Money at:Â Podcast@Autoblog.com.

Next Lincoln Navigator to drop V8 in favor of V6, but Ford Expedition might get both

Tue, 12 Mar 2013

A great many buyers fled from full-size body-on-frame SUVs to car-based crossovers in large measure to save fuel. But that doesn't mean there's still not a buying audience for more traditional truck-based utility vehicles, and those consumers doubtlessly wouldn't mind saving some dollars at the pump, too. According to Motor Trend, those shoppers might be in luck.
That's because the magazine has confirmed that Ford isn't walking away from the full-size SUV segment, and it's poised to do something about its offerings' economy ratings, too. According to MT, global Lincoln director Matt VanDyke has hinted that the next Navigator may drop two cylinders and go with a V6 model - the current model gets just 14 miles per gallon in the city and 20 on the highway from its 5.4-liter V8. The obvious fitment would be Ford's 3.5-liter twin-turbo EcoBoost V6, an engine that has spread like kudzu throughout the rest of the Blue Oval's large vehicle lineup.
Downsized turbocharged engines like Ford's EcoBoost franchise have come under fire as of late for not delivering their EPA fuel economy ratings, but their benefits extend beyond consumption - the 3.5L offers superior power and a better torque curve than the naturally aspirated V8. MT also suggests that Ford's 3.7-liter V6 could form the base engine for the next Navi - it has similar horsepower but a lot less torque than the current 5.4L. That may be less of a problem with the next generation tipped to go on a diet, which could level the playing field somewhat.
