1962 Ford F-100 Custom Cab - Rare 292 CI Y Block V8 Engine - 4 Speed Manual Transmission with Granny Low - Starts up and drives good.
The Good:
Runs and drives good, Does not overheat, engine looks great, newer battery, newer radiator, new belt, new fuel filter, all new fluids, body is straight, newer muffler and tip, new thermostat, new distributer wires, very little rust, original red paint, seat looks good, road ready right now after she warms up a little bit of course. Bed was protected by a shell for most of her life so the bed look really nice. Interior looks good for its age. Hood was replaced (not new and not perfect).
The Bad:
Has small dings and dents as seen but not bad at all. Only one large dent at the bottom of the side bed betweed the back of the cab and the wheel on the Drivers Side - see picture (not that bad though). Only cancer rust are small pin holes in the drivers side floor board and pin holes in the bottom corner of the cab on the drivers side. These items do not need to be replaced, they are solid and just need to be cleaned, patched and protected. The main instrument cluster has been taken apart for some reason. will need to be reassembled (6 screws). Because it is apart, i cannt guarantee that all the guages work properly and that all the little windows are there, but when i drove it, the speedometer was spinning. Both locks work and the doors close flush, drivers side needs to be opened from the outside. Passanger window regulator works, but the plastic roller that goes in the window track should be replaced. Windshield has cracks, but the rest of the glass looks good. Tailgate is missing a hinge. There is no stereo in this truck, and the speakers in the door will need to be replaced.
This is just a great old solid un-restored running truck that can be driven as a beater right now or restored to her former glory. Barely any rust, so you wont have any sheetmetal replacement work. Paint could be polished to shine. This truck is sold as is as all of these trucks are. Have title in hand and is registered in California through June 2013. You will get the signed title in the previous owners name. If i need to put it in my name (every state is different), add $150 to the purchase price. I will wait in the 3 hour dmv line if i have to, just dont want to pay the fees. 5K would make this truck work 15K. Numbers pencil out on this one. This si an old truck that needs a lot of work to look great so if you want a specific picture of a specific place or want to hear it run, call or email me. My name is Tom and my number is 925 321 7643.

Ford Mustang was almost 'Imported from Detroit'
Wed, Oct 7 2015The Ford Mustang achieved iconic status nearly the moment the sheet came off at the 1964 World's Fair. And if Henry Ford II wasn't getting divorced around that time, the pony car might have been called the Torino and been marketed as 'Imported from Detroit,' according to Automotive News. We'll explain. During research for the new book Once in a Great City: A Detroit Story, author David Maraniss found an interesting connection between Chrysler's (now FCA US) slogan and the Ford Mustang. Before the pony car even had a name, the Blue Oval's advertising agency had the idea to market it as a "brand new import ... from Detroit," according to Automotive News. The vehicle would be sold as "inspired by Italy's great road cars, but straight from Detroit." The name Torino was suggested, as well. However, the real world interfered in making the Mustang Detroit's first import. According to the author, Henry Ford II was getting a divorce, and his future wife was Italian. It was therefore thought to be a bad idea to sell the future pony car as being from Italy. Things clearly changed by the time the Torino hit the streets years later. Related Video:
Ford F-150 could be affected by tornado-damaged supplier in S.C.
Wed, Apr 22 2020The disruption caused by a tornado that severely damaged a South Carolina auto-parts plant and killed a contract security guard last week could be felt by more automakers than just Ford and affect more than just its best-selling F-Series pickup, which is due for an update. And there’s still no estimate for when operations might resume at the plant. The Detroit Free Press reports that the BorgWarner plant in Seneca, near Greenville, makes transfer cases for F-150 and Super Duty pickups, the Ford Explorer and Expedition, Transit cargo vans, and Lincoln Navigator and Aviator SUVs. ItÂ’s also a supplier for the Ram 1500 and Toyota Tundra trucks. Transfer cases shift power from the transmission to the front and rear axles in four-wheel-drive vehicles. BorgWarner says it still has no update for when it might partially or fully resume operations. The tornado that ripped through the area in the western part of the state on April 13 tore the roof, walls and signage off the factory and killed a 77-year-old contract worker when the security building he was sheltering in collapsed. Only four or five others were inside the plant, which has been idled because of the coronavirus outbreak, when the tornado struck. In an SEC filing on Friday, Ford said it has sent employees to the site to help BorgWarner and assess the damage to FordÂ’s tooling. “Initial assessments indicate that the Ford tooling was not materially damaged in this incident,” Ford said in the filing. “We do not have sufficient information to estimate when the facility will be back on-line or whether or the extent to which this incident will impact our plans to resume production of four-wheel drive and all-wheel drive vehicles.” A Fiat Chrysler spokeswoman also told the Freep the company was working with BorgWarner on recovery plans. A Toyota spokesman told Autoblog that "we are collaborating with BorgWarner to help restore production for transfer cases for Tundra assembly. We are confident that theyÂ’ll fully recover over time." Like other automakers, Ford shut down production at its U.S. plants last month as a precaution against the coronavirus pandemic. But Ford hasnÂ’t yet said when it plans to reopen its factories. FCA is targeting May 4 to resume production. Models like the F-150 and Lincoln Navigator are major sources of profit for Ford, which estimated it lost $2 billion in the first quarter.
Edmunds ranks the best used cars for 2013
Sun, 15 Sep 2013When people ask us what car we would recommend for them, it's usually not easy to answer. To make a useful recommendation we must consider which of the numerous vehicle segments fits their needs best, and then choose one of the many vehicles offered in each segment. For some people, new cars don't meet their expectations of value, because they lose so much of it the moment they are purchased and driven off the dealer lot. For them, there's always the used-car market, where great deals can be found, but cars' histories of reliability and maintenance records - and perhaps that Certified Pre-Owned warranty - become ever-important factors playing into purchase choice.
To help out, Edmunds has done us the favor of assembling a list of the best used vehicles money can buy, covering model years 2006-2011, according to what it considers the most important criteria when shopping for used autos: reliability, safety, value and availability. That means unreliable, unsafe, super-expensive or limited-edition models don't appear on the list, but instead cars from each segment that are more likely to satisfy the general population.
There are some real goodies on the list, including but not limited to vehicles such as the capable Honda Fit, the cultish Honda Accord coupe (which can be had with a 240-horsepower V6 and a six-speed manual transmission some years), and the powerful Chevrolet Corvette. While Edmunds' choice of the Volvo C70 for best used convertible baffled us at first (not that it's a bad car), it redeemed itself by stating that the Mazda MX-5 still is an unofficial top choice if you don't require more than two seats.
