I have a 1961 Ford f100 unibody long bed up for grabs. This is a really cool old forest service truck that still has it's original patina paint that people are after these days.
This would make an awesome candidate for a slammed down patina hot rod!
It has a 223 6 that runs pretty good but is starting to puff blue smoke when I take off from a stop light after it warms up. The clutch is also staring to go away.
This is a very solid truck for 53 years old with the exception of some spots in the floors, front cab mounts, front of the hood (see pics and video).
The heater and wipers work the turn signals horn and gas gauge do not. There is a new turn signal switch that comes with the truck (uninstalled). The truck has a brand new gas tank and sending unit but I think the sending unit is no good? I pulled it out of the tank and hooked it up and raised the float all the way up then the needle on the gauge went up. Truck only has fuel and temp gauge, oil and charge are lights.Temp gauge works. There is a crack in the windshield, the rest of the glass is good. The doors need new anti rattlers, and could probably use a whole new rubber set through out the truck. The speedo works but bounces around a bit and the odometer shows 71,000 miles and judging by the condition of the interior it might be right, although I cannot confirm this.
This is a really nice, really complete, clean old truck that is kind of rare and worth fixing up in whatever direction you decide to go, stock, lowrider, gasser, ratrod, hotrod, or whatever.
Please look over the pictures closely and watch the video and feel free to ask any questions. I have tried to describe this truck the best I can but may have missed something. The truck is being sold "as is" with no warranty. Buyer is responsible for all shipping arrangements and cost.
Thanks for looking, Trevor (425)754-5946  1961 Ford F-100 Video

Obama to herald auto industry turnaround from idled Ford plant

Tue, Jan 6 2015

President Barack Obama will tout the recent successes of the American auto industry in a speech on Wednesday. This would be a fine and dandy plan aside from two small hitches. First, the president is visiting Ford's Wayne, MI factory, which is rather strange considering the government bailed out the company's local rivals, Chrysler and General Motors. Even more worrying, considering the topic of the speech, is that the Wayne facility has been idled due to a lack of demand. According to The Detroit News, the White House said the speech will focus on "the workers in the resurgent American automotive and manufacturing sector now that the auto rescue has been completed and the decision to save the auto industry and the over one million jobs that went with it." Wayne Assembly employs some 5,100 Michiganders when its lines are up and running, but as gas prices have plunged below $2 per gallon in some areas over the past month, its fuel-efficient products – the Focus and C-Max – have seen their sales plummet, as well. In December, the Focus' year-over-year sales were down 4.4 percent, while the C-Max dipped 3.3 percent, Ford told The News. Lagging sales for the two compacts aren't a new thing, though. Focus sales in all of 2014 were down 6.4 percent, while the C-Max struggled with a 21.6-percent drop last year. According to The News, Ford made the decision to idle the factory before being approached by the White House. Considering that, we wonder what the team at 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue was thinking when it selected the Ford facility, and what impact the location will have on the president's message.

Ford Ka Concept shown in Brazil, could enter production by 2014

Wed, 13 Nov 2013

The Ford Ka (pronounce it like a Bostonian saying "car") is the Blue Oval's sub-Fiesta offering in a number of markets that aren't North America. It's been a staple in Europe since it launched in 1996 and in South America since 1997, where it's enjoyed quite a bit of popularity as an affordable, efficient city car.
The European and South American models grew apart over the years, until Europe ended up with a Fiesta-inspired car and Brazil retained a more evolved version of the original Ka's styling. With this Ka Concept, which is really a concept in name only, Ford is previewing a Ka not just for the European market, but as the brand's new, global small car. With city car sales expected to grow dramatically in coming years and the ever increasing price of fuel, Ford's move to get a new, competitive car into the market on a global level isn't surprising.
Wearing Ford's new, familial grille, the Ka Concept features the same crisp, sculpted sheetmetal that's adorned the Fusion and Fiesta. Developed in-house by Ford Brazil, a production version could launch by 2014, according to Ford's press release. It's unclear what engines will sit under this car's hood, although we'd bet the 1.0-liter, EcoBoost three-cylinder from the Fiesta will be available at some point.

2014 Ford Fiesta Titanium

Mon, 28 Oct 2013

You might not be interested in owning a subcompact (B-segment) hatchback for $20,000. Let's be clear from the get go here: there are any number of reasonable arguments for staying away from the highest-content versions of these small cars. Ford's player in the B-segment arena is the newly updated 2014 Fiesta, and the Titanium trim represents the most luxurious instantiation of the model. We recently were loaned a Fiesta Titanium for a week, whose final sticker price hit $20,390, with navigation being the only standalone option added to the bottom line. By way of comparison, the most basic version of the all new, one-segment-up Mazda3 hatchback costs $19,740 with delivery and destination accounted for, and no options added on.
Hold on to that thought for a moment, we'll get back to it.
