1958 Ford F100 Big Back Window Pickup on 2040-cars
Fort Collins, Colorado, United States
|
1958 Ford F100 1/2 ton big window pickup. It has a Y block V8 but not sure if its the 272 or 292 version. 3 speed transmission, column shift. It is a Custom Cab. I've had this vehicle less than a month and have decided on another purchase for my needs. I don't have the room for both so this one has to go. Condition: first, as a disclaimer, I note that I am not a mechanic or body man so my assessment is purely from a lay person's eyes. I had the carb rebuilt shortly after purchase so I could determine how well it ran. I was told it had been sitting for years and the inside of the carb showed it. However, after installing the carb it fired up and ran well. The mileage on this is unknown but the odometer shows less than 100,000. When I bought it I was told it had a 292 Y block V8. Ford did not make a 292 for its 58 F100s, that didn't come until 1959. Therefore, either its a 272 or a replacement motor, either could be true. But it does seem to run well in the short around-the-block drives. I do think the clutch is slipping when you start out in 1st gear as it struggles a little to get going, once you do it seems to perform fine. Therefore, clutch repair or replacement is likely in order. Front and back glass is good, side glass is cracked but vent windows are good. Body is fair, no dents or other damage but there is some rust. I note some rust through in each step which has been "repaired" by a previous owner, rust through in the driver side box in one odd place and rust through on the passenger floor. All of these places would, in my opinion, be a fairly easy fix. I don't think the visible rust is significant, certainly not for this year and in comparison to others I have seen. Lights appear to work ok. I'm not certain about the gauges as I haven't driven it enough to really pay attention other than the speedometer does work. I've driven this around the block 3 or 4 times only. All in all a good solid vehicle for restoration or to hot rod. I think its a daily driver keeping the clutch issue in mind. Truck is sold as is where is, shipping is your responsibility. Vehicle is for sale locally and subject to prior sale. Please contact me with questions. |

Ford rakes in record $2.5b profit during Q1 of 2016
Thu, Apr 28 2016Fears that the auto industry is due for a downturn may be fading. Ford posted record profits in the first quarter of 2016, the company announced Thursday. Chief financial officer Bob Shanks said Ford enjoyed its best quarterly performance in history, generating operating profits of $3.8 billion and a record profit margin of 9.8 percent. Overall, the company's $2.5 billion profit in the quarter more than doubled from the 2015 quarterly results. "The first quarter was an absolutely terrific start to the year, an all-time record for the company, with very strong performance across the business," said chief executive officer Mark Fields. "We're excited about our future and confident in our ability to deliver long-term growth and profitability as we expand our business model to be both an auto and a mobility company." During the quarter, Ford announced the creation of Ford Smart Mobility, a new subsidiary that would vet future mobility projects in the realm of car-sharing, fractional ownership and autonomous deployment. The company also kicked off a billion-dollar makeover of its Dearborn, Michigan campus and headquarters. The company's after-tax earnings of $0.68 per share trumped Wall Street's expectations, and were significantly up from $0.39 per share a year ago. The results were buoyed by the company's fourth consecutive quarter of growth in Europe, which comes after a long period of stagnant sales. Ford's earnings results come amid reports that April car sales are on pace to jump 4 percent year over year, which would make it the best-selling April in history. Kelley Blue Book projects that car sales will reach 1.51 million this month, placing the industry on track for 17.5 million vehicles sold in 2016. Even as SUV and crossover sales drive the market, analysts say Nissan and Honda are positioned to benefit from renewed interest in mid-size cars. "Following a disappointing March, we expect sales to get back on track in April with SAAR in the mid-17 million range," said Tim Fleming, analyst for Kelley Blue Book. "Increased fleet sales and rising incentive spending among automakers remain the factors to watch, but the retail demand appears to be holding steady, signaling the industry's strong run isn't over quite yet."

Ford blimp crashes inside Portland Trail Blazers arena
Fri, Dec 5 2014Portland basketball fans got a free, very safe recreation of the Hindenburg disaster when a Ford airship crashed into the stands during a game between the Trail Blazers and Indiana Pacers. Reportedly no one was hurt, but arena staff trying to push the inflatable vehicle through a hole it was too big for, made for some fantastic video and photos. This content is hosted by a third party.

The first gives an idea of just how hard it was to fit the blimp through the exit of the arena, and the second is a time-lapse look from someone right next to the action.
