1965 Ford F100 Styleside Classic Antique Long Bed on 2040-cars
Westhampton Beach, New York, United States
|
This is my beautiful 1965 Ford F100 up for sale. Its got the 352ci V8 motor with a 3 speed shift on the column. No power steering. Strong and reliable drivetrain. Desirable long bed with "smuggler's box" on the passenger side. This is my daily driver, and I frequently cruise at 80 MPH on the highway with no issues whatsoever. She tracks solid and true, and the "Twin I Beam" suspension is buttery. Only 2 things don't work on this vehicle...the cigarette lighter, and the overdrive cable. The battery is 4 months old, spark plug wires are 2 years old, the tires have only 10k on them, and I also replaced the heater core, flow selector valve, and all the heater hoses when I got the truck last fall. The heater was inoperable when I bought it, but it blows super hot now after the replacement parts were put in. Like all old vechicles, she has a bit of a sequence when starting, but once you learn how to use the choke and gas pedal, she fires right up dead cold, even in the middle of winter. This truck has not given me one problem in the year that ive owned her...I've kept her clean, washed her after every bad weather drive, kept the fluids topped off (uses 1 Qt oil every 3 weeks) ...and every day she gets me where I need to go without fail. (45mi work commute every day) Regretfully I have to sell to accomodate my growing family, but she will make the right person very happy. There are a few dings in the bed and here and there along the body, but they are very minor. This truck has virtually no rust due to spending it's life on a farm down in NC. The Body is super clean and straight. The paint looks like it could be the original, as I was told the 1st owner kept it in a barn when it wasn't being driven. If it is a respray, it was done quite well as there is no evidence of marking/overspray. I am the 3rd owner and I have all the maintenance records, as well as the original owners manual and window sticker.

J Mays retiring from Ford design, succeeded by Moray Callum
Tue, 05 Nov 2013Ford's highly influential head of design, J Mays, has announced that he'll be retiring from his position after 33 years in the industry, 16 of which were at the Dearborn, MI-based company. Upon departure, he'll be succeeded as group vice president of design by Moray Callum. If that last name sounds familiar, yes, he's the brother of Jaguar's Ian Callum.
It's difficult to explain just how big of a role Mays had on not just Ford's design over the years, but on the entire industry. Before heading to Dearborn, Mays worked for Audi, BMW and then Volkswagen, where he was involved in concept cars that paved the way for design icons like the first-generation Audi TT and the Volkswagen New Beetle. As for his Ford resume, it's extensive.
Mays joined the company in 1997 as design director for Ford, Lincoln, Mercury and Mazda, as well as the Premier Automotive Group (Volvo, Land Rover, Jaguar and Aston Martin). He was heavily involved in the Ford Fusion, Focus, Fiesta, Taurus, F-150 and Mustang, while also contributing to concept cars like the Atlas, Evos, 427, Forty-Nine, Shelby GR-1, Lincoln MKZ and the MKC.
Mulally to stay at Ford through end of 2014 at least
Fri, 06 Dec 2013Alan Mulally isn't going anywhere... at least not just yet. The CEO who helped turn around Ford Motor Company has been linked to the top job at tech behemoth Microsoft, leading to a flurry of rumors about potential successors. Those rumors, though, may have just been put to rest - at least for a little while.
Speaking to Edsel Ford II (great-grandson of company founder Henry Ford) at the unveiling of the new Mustang, Automotive News Europe confirmed that Mulally would stick around until the end of next year. "Alan is staying through the end of 2014 and that's all I know," said Ford. "Frankly, he has told us that his plan is to stay with Ford through the end of 2014."
Presuming that Edsel Ford is correct and that Microsoft isn't so hot on Mulally that it saves the position for him, it seems increasingly likely that the 68-year-old exec is more interested in continuing to work in Dearborn rather than in Redmond.
Watch these Australian Ford and Holden muscle cars duke it out
Wed, 21 Aug 2013Australia's Motoring has put together a little video on two of the great performance vehicles available down under - the Holden VF Commodore HSV GTS and the Ford Falcon FPV GT R-Spec. And while both FPV and the Falcon might be on their way out, there's still plenty of time for a little head-to-head comparison between the two.
The cars aren't all that well evenly matched, though. The Ford boasts a 5.0-liter, supercharged V8, which the Aussies measure out at 449 horsepower and 420 pound-feet of torque. The HSV, though, with its Corvette-derived, 6.2-liter, supercharged V8 is just too powerful - 576 hp and 545 lb-ft of torque.
Predictably, it doesn't end too well for the Ford. As the guys from Motoring point out, the new VF Commodore is just too new and too good, with its extra power and its adaptive dampers (GM's excellent MagnaRide). Interestingly, Motoring did point out that the Holden's electric steering is better than the Ford's hydraulic steering, which is a lot like a Porsche purist saying they prefer water-cooled engines to air cooled.
