Up for auction is a rare 1963 Ford F100 Shortbed PROJECT truck, with it's original 292, and 3 speed manual transmission. This was the last year of the unibody trucks, which means the bed is attached to the cab. The truck still wears it's original paint, and besides the radio it's a very original truck! The truck is a project truck, I got her to run and drive but, she sat for many years and the carb needs to be rebuilt... idles rough. She starts up, no smoking or knocking. Has lots of caked on oil from over the years. It shows 18,000 miles on the odometer, but the truck actually has 118,000 original miles on the truck. The truck has some rust in the drivers floor, and the drivers side body mount. Besides a few other small rust spots that's it for the rust issues. The cab mount on the drivers side should be replaced, or you can just weld it up. The truck will run and drive on it's own power, and the 3 on the tree shifts ok. I drove the truck around the block after I got it running, and it made me smile. The truck has a new Generator, new fuel pump, new voltage regulator, and she the charging system works great. The truck has a New Windshield too. The truck will be sold to the highest bidder, NO RESERVE!!
The outside of the truck has the normal dents from being used as a truck for many years. The nice thing is the bed has only minor surface rust. The bed is actually in very good shape for it's age. The tailgate as you can see has some dents in it, and some rust towards the lower left side. The tail gate stills opens, closes, and the latches both work. The body is very clean with just some minor rust in the lower parts of the doors. The windows roll up and down just fine, and the doors open and close great. The hood hinges are sprung of course. The truck for it's age is in very good condition. The nice thing is the wiring is in good shape under the hood, and nobody has hacked it up! And this truck would be a great candidate for restoration or for a Ratrod shop truck.
The truck is a nice PROJECT type truck! The winning bidder is required to pay a $500 non refundable deposit due within 24 hours of winning the truck! The truck is being sold " As Is" due to it's age. The deposit must be paid through Paypal. The remaining balance is due within 3 days of the auction closing, and the final payment may be made with a Cashiers check, wire transfer or cash in person. The truck must be picked up within 2 weeks of the auction closing, and my zip code is 89131 for shipping purposes. Please email me with any questions, and good luck!! choice!!

I forgot to add that the trucks lights all work, blinkers work, and the gas gauge work... plus it has a new sending unit, and the tank was flushed and acid washed also. The temp gauge works, and the Generator and Oil pressure light both work, and after the truck starts they both go off. The charging system works great. I appreciate all the email questions in regards to the truck, and if you have any questions that you need to speak to me about in person, please call me at 702-321-2457, Thanks Shawn

Chip Ganassi Racing switches to the Ford EcoBoost-powered Riley Daytona Prototype
Wed, 06 Nov 2013Chip Ganassi Racing with Felix Sabates (CGRFS) announced yesterday at Ford's SEMA press conference that it will field a Ford-Riley Daytona Prototype with the 3.5-liter EcoBoost V6 in the 2014 United SportsCar Championship (USCC). CGRFS is the second team to commit to the new Ford-Riley car, behind Michael Shank Racing (which has already used the racecar to break a 26-year-old top-speed record at Daytona International Speedway).
"Over the last 10 seasons we have been able to experience a great deal of success in Grand-Am," Chip Ganassi says, "and now with the dawn of the new United SportsCar Championship we feel that Ford power will be a key ingredient to writing the next chapter of our sports car program."
In the last Grand-Am season, CGRFS raced a BMW-Riley Daytona Prototype. The team has won seven Daytona Prototype championships, all in the past ten years. Scott Pruett and Memo Rojas return as the team's prototype co-drivers, and will attend their maiden race in the Ford-Riley at the Rolex 24 at Daytona in January.
Ford recalls 1.48 million F-150s for transmission, plus other models
Wed, Feb 13 2019Weeks after recalling more than 800,000 F-Series pickup trucks for a fire risk, Ford has issued another separate recall for approximately 1.48 million 2011-2013 F-150s for a transmission fault. The six-speed automatics could unexpectedly downshift into first gear without warning. Ford and Lincoln tangentially issued much smaller recalls for the Mustang, Continental, Nautilus, and Navigator. According to Ford, some 2011-2013 model year F-150 pickups with six-speed automatic transmissions could "experience an intermittent loss of the transmission output speed sensor signal to the powertrain control module." This could potentially cause the trucks to temporarily downshift, which could be dangerous if it occurs while driving. Of the 1.48 million affected trucks, 1.26 million are in the U.S. while 221,000 are in Canada. Thus far, Ford knows of five reported accidents involving the issue. To remedy the problem, owners can take their trucks to dealers to update the power control module software. Ford also issued recalls for about 4,350 2019 Mustangs, Lincoln Nautiluses, and Lincoln Navigators in the U.S. and Canada due to a possible fault with the instrument clusters. Although there have been no reports of accidents, Ford says the instrument panel clusters assemblies might be blank or not turn out when the vehicle is started. Additionally, Ford issued a third recall for 28,200 2017-2019 Lincoln Continentals in the U.S. and Canada. Ford says silicon contamination might build up inside the door latch motor, causing it to malfunction. As a result, the door latch might not always fully engage, and the doors could possibly open unexpectedly. Despite no reports of accidents, Ford will remove and replace door latch assemblies on all doors for those affected by the defect. If any of these apply to a vehicle you own, contact Ford to discuss whether it is included in any of these recalls and have the vehicle checked out at a Ford dealership.
Consumer Reports: Ford Fusion fun but flawed; Mitsubishi i-MiEV slow, chintzy [w/videos]
Wed, 23 Jan 2013Waiting for a Ford compliment from Consumer Reports these days is like waiting for a low-cost new product from Apple. So we weren't really expecting a glowing review of the 2013 Ford Fusion when CR got its hands on the car. The institute's crew bought three different versions of the Fusion (Hybrid, 1.6-liter EcoBoost and a Titanium with the 2.0-liter EcoBoost) to put through its barrage of tests, and while we aren't too surprised by some of the findings, they're still interesting nonetheless.
CR praises the Fusion for its "eye-catching" design and says that the sportier Titanium trim level is the best-handling midsize sedan they've ever tested, but that's about where the good news ends for Ford. The Fusion Hybrid also posted the best-ever fuel economy CR has recorded in a midsize sedan, but the only problem is that their number was 39 miles per gallon combined - far less than Ford's 47 mpg rating for city, highway and combined. As expected, CR also dinged the Fusion for its MyFord Touch, but some of the other gripes about the car include a cramped cabin and poor fit and finish.
Other Ford products tested this time around include the Focus Electric and C-Max Hybrid. Like the Fusion, CR's observed fuel economy of 37 mpg for the C-Max fell well short of Ford's advertised 47-mpg rating, and both cars were criticized for the use of MyFord Touch. CR notes that the Focus Electric's interior is also cramped, with the battery pack taking up a lot of cargo space.
