This '71 F-100 with 64,500 actual miles is a true SURVIVOR. Purchased off E-bay in 2010 from Toms Cool Cars, NC. for $8,000.00 unrestored original. This truck was from DRY ARIZONA CLIMATE of TUSON, one owner for the first 38 years. All of the description in this text can be well documented upon request. The truck is powered by an FE 360/ with a new Holly 2 barrel carb. It burns NO oil, runs first start, every start. New Electric Choke, Electronic Ignition, Fuel Pump, Master cylinder, 2 Wheel cylinders, NEW TIRES ON GREAT LOOKING WHEELS with FORD center caps. I added POWER STEERING, AUTOMATIC TRANS, the original " Granny 4-speed trans and all components go with the truck( the original trans has only 50,000 miles on it). The truck has POWER DRUM BRAKES, and you'll love them. They stop great and best of all, NO BRAKE DUST on those great looking wheels! It has dealer installed, FACTORY AIR, with a new compressor and it blows COLD. Another plus is it has a RARE FACTORY AUXILARY FUEL TANK, this is very costly to add on. I have added INTERMITTEN WIPPERS and you cannot tell from original, same switch. NEW FRONT AND REAR BUMPERS along with some of the upper body SIDE MOLDINGS were installed. The front bumper guards are ORIGINAL and flawless. The MIRRORS are new, although there are some pits you will notice in the photos. Lower side moldings are ORIGINAL and flawless.
I restored the truck in April 2010 and since then I have used it for , OH NO! a TRUCK! Well Michigan has taken it's toll on some of the paint. The attached photos will show the damage. Of course the price reflects this or it would surely be higher. Let me describe what you have here and what I started with. The BODY PANELS ARE AS STRAIGHT AND SOLID as the day it was built! NO BODY FILLER ANYWHERE!, It did not even have a door ding when we started, and still does not. The paint is in the ORIGINAL COLORS with new base coat/clear coat by a true professional painter! The paint on this truck stands up to a new Mercedes. Imagine picking up this truck new in '71 and driving it home, that is how it runs, handles, and rides (new shocks by the way) NO RATTLES! Since day one this has been a NON - SMOKING TRUCK!
This truck is a HEAD TURNER wherever I drive it. The down side is I have to figure more time to field questions and take complements. Parked next to a new F-150 it grabs all the attention, at less than 1/2 the costs! I can go on and on about new this, new that, but I would rather here from a buyer with lots of questions and interest. Did I mention it has a great looking interior? with a custom made drink holder by myself? check out the photos, see for yourself. HAPPY VIEWING!

2013 Ford Explorer Sport
Thu, 04 Apr 2013When one speaks of sporty and fun-to-drive utility vehicles, few would put the Ford Explorer in the same category as the Jeep Grand Cherokee SRT8, BMW X5 or Porsche Cayenne. Yet, with just a few reservations, I'd toss the new-for-2013 Ford Explorer Sport close to that arena for consideration.
As a recap, the sportiest of Explorers is fitted with Ford's twin-turbocharged 3.5-liter Ecoboost V6, making 365 horsepower and 350 pound feet of torque. Acceleration is brisk (figure about 7 seconds to 60 miles per hour), as power goes to all four wheels through a six-speed automatic transmission. Contributing to its more athletic demeanor are larger front brakes, a sport-tuned suspension, chassis upgrades, quicker steering ratio and a more aggressive wheel/tire package. Cosmetically, the Sport is distinguished by its blacked-out lights, black trim and noticeable lack of chrome (with the exception of the door handles).
Ford recently handed me the keys to a Ruby Red Metallic Explorer Sport. Rather than mindlessly drive the big seven-passenger all-wheel drive hauler in soccer mom circles around Los Angeles, I loaded up my family and embarked on a long weekend road trip to Yosemite National Park.
EV tax credits: Here's every electric car or plug-in hybrid that qualifies
Tue, Apr 18 2023Starting on April 18, the Internal Revenue Service released new guidance for U.S. buyers shopping for a new electric or plug-in hybrid vehicle. On April 18th, the IRS showed only six fully electric vehicles on the qualified list, but a day later Volkswagen confirmed its U.S.-built ID.4 also qualifies. That means right now, seven fully electric vehicles qualify for the full $7,500 EV tax credit, with three more from Chevrolet coming for the 2024 model year (we would expect these 2024 models to roll out slowly and be difficult to find for at least the first few months they are on the market). In addition to those seven fully electric cars, two plug-in hybrids also qualify for the full $7,500 credit. To qualify, a vehicle must be assembled in North America and must meet a strict set of guidelines that cover where battery materials were sourced. If any battery materials come from certain countries (importantly including China), the vehicle's tax credit is automatically cut in half. Further, according to the IRS, the vehicle's manufacturer suggested retail price (MSRP) can't exceed $80,000 for vans, sport utility vehicles and pickup trucks or $55,000 for any other type of vehicle (basically meaning sedans). Electric vehicles that qualify for the full $7,500 EV tax credit: Cadillac Lyriq (2023-2024) Chevrolet Blazer EV (2024) Chevrolet Bolt EV (2023-2024) Chevrolet Bolt EUV (2023-2024) Chevrolet Equinox (2024) Chevrolet Silverado (2024) Ford F-150 Lightning — all models (2022-2023) Tesla Model 3 Performance (2022-2023) Tesla Model Y — all models (2022-2023) Volkswagen ID.4 — U.S.-built models (2022-2023) Plug-in hybrid cars that qualify for the full $7,500 EV tax credit: Chrysler Pacifica PHEV (2022-2023) Lincoln Aviator Grand Touring (2022-2023) A smaller credit is offered on fully electric cars and plug-in hybrids that are assembled in North America but have batteries with materials sourced from unqualified countries (mostly China).
2015 F-150 kick-starts Ford sales
Wed, Feb 4 2015The F-150 had a middling year in 2014, and its sales dipped slightly as Ford transitioned to producing the all-new truck with an aluminum body. But with one factory humming, another on the way and a fuller stock of trucks, 2015 is already shaping up to be a different story. The F-Series posted a 17-percent leap in January, helping to push Ford sales to a 15-percent gain for the month. The F-Series had its best January performance in 11 years with sales of 54,370 trucks last month. Much of this strength comes from the new generation of the F-150. While many of the old model are still being sold off, Ford is rolling out the new version. Just five percent of the F-150's retail sales were the new truck in December, but it was up to 18 percent in January. The increase comes as the first factory that makes the truck, Ford's Dearborn facility, is fully back online. The other F-150 factory, in Kansas City, is still completing its changeover to build the aluminum-bodied truck, and that's expected to be finished in the first quarter of this year. Sales of the truck will still be "tempered a bit" until the Kansas City plant ramps up, Ford sales analyst Erich Merkle said. Ford expects to have a full inventory of F-150s by mid-year. To that end, the company announced plans on Wednesday to add 1,550 jobs to support the F-150, including 900 positions at the Kansas City factory. The remaining jobs will be spread out over sites in metro Detroit. The Dearborn and Kansas City factories collectively will be able to build more than 700,000 F-150s annually. The added headcount also means Ford has reached the maximum number of entry-level workers allowed under its pact with the United Auto Workers. About 300 to 500 employees at several plants in the Midwest will transition to a higher pay rate, and their wages will rise from $19.28 an hour to $28.50 an hour. The F-Series was Ford's hottest seller in January, moving off lots in an average of 12 days. The high-end models, the King Ranch and the Platinum versions, are moving slightly quicker. The average transaction price is also up $2,100 for the F-150 compared to January 2014. "We're really pleased with how the new one is doing on dealer lots," Merkle said. A larger stock of F-150s will allow Ford and its rivals to capitalize on low fuel prices, which have slowed consumers' interest in smaller vehicles.
