Hello. I am selling my 1966 Ford F-100.

The truck is about 3/4 restored and is ready to drive home. It's a real eye catcher. Loud, flashy, and fast.

Here are some bullet notes:

* Engine starts right up and runs like a beast. Seriously...it runs like a raped ape. I have to start in 2nd gear because there's just too much power in 1st gear.

* Newer upholstery - matching exterior paint scheme

* I just replaced the pitman arm and steering box in February of this year. The steering needs to be tightened up just a bit though. It's a little loose.

* Truck runs smooth on the highway. It can easily cruise at 80mph.

* I put in a new Edelbrock carburetor (replaced the manual carburetor)

* 4 speed on the floor manual transmission 390CU V8 big block

* 1966 F100 on a F250 chassy

* Long bed with passenger side locking tool box

* RARE factory 4x4 with locking hubs...but the front drive shaft and transfer case have been removed for 2wd only. I do not have them.

* The locking hubs rotate easily

* New 35 inch BF Goodwrich All Terrain tires

* Guy I bought it from in November just serviced the brakes, engine, new air cleaner, new battery, new front bumper.

* The body has some rust spots but overall it's in VERY good condition.

* The body is straight. (The gaps are even on both sides where the tail gate meets the bed)

* Factory A/C blower

* Suspension lift (Not sure hot many inches but it's very tall)

* No rips or tears in the seats.

* Custom roll bar

* Tow package

* Rust is absent or minimal on the "usual" spots that these models are prone to. (Driver and passenger outside feet area by that vent)

* Wipers have been disconnected because they won't turn off. I never had time to figure out why they don't work properly

* The truck isn't perfect...but it's running and just needs some TLC.

Why am I selling it: I changed jobs to stay Stateside and was going to use it as my daily driver. But my local job fell through and I'm back working overseas. My plan was to slowly restore it over the next few years. But since I'm back working overseas...I really don't need this project anymore. I bought the truck at the end of 2013 from a dealer in Daytona. I really only owned it for a few months. I really don't want to sell it but I'm out of the country for several months at a time. There's no need for this kind of project. The truck is currently at my dad's house in Davie, FL. He'll be showing the truck.

Disclaimer: I am listing this truck locally and it also has a 'For Sale' sign in it. I'll remove the E-bay listing if I sell it locally. I am not a moto-gear head. I might be missing some minor detail that needs replaced or fixing. But the truck, overall, is in GREAT condition.

Please feel free to ask me any questions and thanks for looking.

Ford talking unibody Ranger replacement

Mon, 18 Feb 2013

Now here's some welcome news. Car and Driver reports Ford is seriously mulling a replacement for the recently deceased Ranger, but the successor to the compact pickup's throne may not look anything like what we've seen from the nameplate in the past.
While speaking at the 2013 Chicago Auto Show, Doug Scott, marketing manager for Ford Trucks, said there's still a market for a smaller pickup, but that buyers expect to see a larger differentiation between the smaller utility vehicles and their full size counterparts in price, capability and fuel economy.
According to Scott, that means a vehicle with a payload capacity of around 1,000 pounds paired with a towing capacity of 3,000 pounds and "a dramatic reduction in fuel consumption." But the biggest piece of that recipe is the price tag, and Scott says to keep the MSRP far enough away from the already cheap F-150, the answer could come in the form of a unibody design. Scott says target customers in this market don't care whether the truck has a traditional frame or not, so long as it's tough enough to do the job and has the capability they need.

Meet Shelby Mustang GT500 Miller, Iowa's latest hatchet-wielding criminal

Fri, Jul 11 2014

Well, we've found the long-lost cousin of yesterday's Bentley-tattooed criminal from Florida. This is Shelby Mustang GT500 Miller. No, seriously. While his name seems just like the sort of thing we'd expect the Sunshine State to produce, he actually hails from Iowa. Despite coming from the Hawkeye State, Miller was arrested for a decidedly Floridian offense – getting in a bar fight and then returning with a hatchet. The only way this story could be more Florida is if meth, a manatee or bath salts were involved. The fight, which was at the Cheap Seats Sports Bar, started off typically enough, with a verbal argument in the parking lot (please, please let his nemesis be named "Chevrolet Camaro Z/28 Smith"). This, naturally, attracted passing police officers. Things were broken up and some friends took Miller to his home, which was apparently just behind the bar. That's when he returned with the hatchet tucked under his shirt. Miller promptly proceeded to take out the implement of destruction in the bar's bathroom and... forget about it entirely. Fortunately, the police hadn't left the area yet. Not surprisingly, Miller was arrested for a parole violation, as well as public intoxication and going armed with intent. Still, cool name, bro.

Project Ugly Horse: Part V

Mon, 11 Feb 2013

The Slippery Slope
I've had a healthy appreciation for cars that stop since one truly unfortunate incident with a runaway 1971 Lincoln Continental.
It's funny how quickly a party can turn from, "We're all having blast" to "What happened to the front of the house, and how many stitches do you think this is going to take?" Standing in a Mustang salvage shop in Kodak, Tennessee, I couldn't help but feel I had strayed into the latter territory with Ugly Horse. There was a supercharged 5.4-liter V8 plucked from a rear-ended Cobra sitting off to my left. The shelves were lined with second-hand Roush and SVT components galore, but I couldn't stop staring at a set of rotors with the approximate diameter of my chest.
