Low reserve!! This is a 1961 Ford F-100 pickup truck. It's a CustomCab Unibody model. As far as I am aware, it's all original (with the exception of the paint, and seat cover). Has all four original mag wheels, has all four original bottle cap hub caps, original chrome grill, radio etc. Glass is in good shape-- no cracks, just one small chip on the windshield. 292 V8, manual, floor shift. Odometer reads 24,158 miles. Body is in pretty good shape, considering it's 50+ years old. Would make a great restoration candidate, or rat rod, hot rod option. Note: I have the chrome horn attachment for the steering wheel, and the cab photo shows mostly dirt, not rust. Have the original keys as well.

I have seen a lot of unibodies out there, and they usually have some gnarly dents. Is the body perfect? No, but there's nothing major that can't be easily taken care of. Engine turns over no problem, with newer battery. Was running, however it just doesn't quite get there at the moment. I am told it's the fuel pump (dry at the tip). Easy, cheap fix. Selling for friend, so have described to the best of my knowledge. Please feel free to ask any questions prior to auction end, and I will answer as best as I can. Sold as is, with no refunds or returns.

Shipping is the buyers responsibility, and arrangements should be shared upon booking.

Good luck!

MotorWeek relives '80s coupes with Dodge Daytona, Ford Escort EXP

Thu, Aug 6 2015

Get ready for a wave of nostalgia and the rapid realization of the huge progress in performance cars over the last 30 years. For its latest Retro Review, MotorWeek takes a look back at two, front-wheel drive coupes from the '80s that seem to have entirely vanished from the roads today. Both the 1986 Dodge Daytona CS and the 1986.5 Ford Escort EXP were considered affordable, sporty options in their day, but the passage of time hasn't been kind to either of their specs. The Daytona certainly looks the part of a performance machine with a body that's reminiscent of other '80s coupes, like the third-gen Chevrolet Camaro. However with 146 horsepower and 170 pound-feet of torque from a 2.2-liter turbocharged four-cylinder, acceleration wasn't exactly a strong suit. MotorWeek complained about copious torque steer, as well. The optional CS suspension upgrade package on this Daytona was apparently a nod to Carroll Shelby who was working with Dodge at the time. If anything, the Escort EXP withstands the test of time even worse. As a two-seat coupe, you might have expected Ford's engineers to really turn up the performance to fit the sporty image that the exterior conveyed. That didn't really happen, and depending on which model buyers ordered, they got either 86 horsepower with a 1.9-liter engine or the "high-output" version of that mill with 108 hp.

Ex-PR chief Vines accuses Ford of bugging cars, phones

Fri, 24 Oct 2014

Jason Vines, former head of communications at Ford among other automakers, is accusing the Blue Oval of bugging his company phone and his car during the Firestone tire recall for the Explorer in 2001. The allegations have come to light in Vines' upcoming book What Did Jesus Drive? Crisis PR in Cars, Computers and Christianity.
According to The Detroit News, which has an advance copy of the book, Vines (pictured above) claims that after leaving the company, someone with security within Ford advised him that he had been bugged around the time of the recall. The allegations don't stop there, though. Vines further contends that he might not have been the only one to get this treatment, noting that then-general counsel John Rintamaki also believed he was being listened to.
According to The Detroit News, even if it had been a company phone, recording Vines without his knowledge still would have been a felony under Michigan law.
