1972 Ford F100 Explorer Package. This is a really neat, mostly original truck. I have driven it mostly as a "go to the hardware store" truck for the past year. Starts right up and has never left me stranded. Strong 390 V8 engine and a good shifting 3 speed automatic. Engine sounds very good and the exhaust has been dumped near the rear axle. Sounds mean. This truck has alot of options. See below as I think it has all options from package A through D. Some are missing now (hubcaps and bright box rails), but as you can see, came with alot of special package items. From decoding the VIN the truck was manufactued in February of 1972 in Kansas City and ordered by the Dallas district. Golden Rod Yellow paint with Medium Ginger interior and black mat flooring. 4,550 GVW and it looks like this truck has the special "helper shackles/springs" for that little bit of extra carrying or towing capacity. All of the gauges work, the odometor still works and is showing 11,513.4 at the time of listing. I can only assume this to be 111,513 miles. I will say that the truck looks very good for a 44 year old truck. Now, there are several dings and dents over the entire truck and the paint is not showroom condition by any means, but, overall it looks very shiny and in good shape. As you will see in the pics, the front drivers side fender looks to have been repainted at one time and it has not kept the same shade of yellow over the years. Additionally, this truck has AC and it still blows (compressor not turning by belt) but the unit under the dash still turns on and blows. I have the correct belt for the compressor and it will be included with the sale. Compressor does turn freely. I repaired the top AC suction line as it was cracked and I can only guess that this was the reason for the AC not working. I have not tried to charge it since the belt is not on. But, it may be just a belt installed, charge and you have a working AC. Has an aftermarket radio and 4 speakers with nice wooden cabinets. 2 under the dash and 2 in the B pillers of the cab. The seat is in great shape on the top/back section, the bottom section is in need of repair so a bench seat cover was put on. But the top section literally looks just a few years old underneath. Has a set of later model chrome factory wheels with a very good set of Cooper tires. Lots of tread left. Has a recently replaced alternator. All of the exterior lights work. Turn signals work as well as brake lights. I replaced the side marker lights with a nice chrome set on the back of the bed. So, if you are looking for an almost all original truck this is a good one. Most if not all of the trim is still on the truck. It does look like it came with bed top rails from the below article, this truck does not have them. The holes are there but rails long gone. Will need a new dash pad or the old one just taken off as it is cracked. The windsheild also has a crack in it. Windows roll up and down good and the locks work. The shifter on the column is a little persinickity at times but shifts. Looks like the arrow and the letters sometimes don't line up so you just have to make sure you are in the correct R, N, P, or D. Not a big deal but wanted to point that out. Good luck and feel free to contact me if you have any other questions. Will load as many pics as I can through ebay. If you are the winning bidder I require a $500.00 to be sent via PayPal within 24 hours. The balance either through cash or bank wire within 7 days. Clear Oklahoma Title on hand. I will assist with loading truck for shipping in Edmond, OK or will deliver for an additional $300.00 anywhere along I-35 (within 5 miles east or west of I-35) from OKC to Dallas as I travel this route weekly for business.

Gary Cooper's 1935 Duesenberg SSJ fetches record price at Pebble Beach
Mon, Aug 27 2018The 1935 Duesenberg SSJ formerly owned by Gary Cooper sold for a jaw-dropping $22 million over the weekend at the Gooding & Co. Pebble Beach auction, setting a record for the most valuable pre-war car ever sold at auction. It also appears to have become the most expensive American collector car ever sold at auction, eclipsing the very first Shelby Cobra ever made, which sold for $13.75 million in 2016. The Duesenberg was also the lone American-made entrant in the list of top 10 sellers, which was crowded with the names Ferrari and Porsche. You have to go all the way down the list to No. 21 to find the next American car: a 1930 Packard 734 Speedster Phaeton, which sold for a mere $1.127 million. All told, Gooding & Co. said it realized more than $116.5 million in auction sales over the weekend, with a whopping 25 cars sold for north of $1 million, an 84 percent sales rate and an average transaction price of $947,174. Clearly this is how the other half 1 percent lives. Gooding & Co. said there were five world-record sales at the auction. Joining the Duesenberg were a 1955 Ferrari 500 Mondial Series II, which sold for $5.005 million; a 1958 Ferrari 250 GT Tour de France Berlinetta, $6.6 million; a 1967 Ferrari 330 GTC Speciale, $3.41 million; and a one-of-two 1966 Ferrari Dino Berlinetta GT, $3.08 million. Oh, and that 1969 Ford Bronco test vehicle we told you about? The one that was rebadged by Holman & Moody as a Bronco Hunter? It sold for $121,000, which was well below the expected range of $180,000 to $220,000. Perhaps it was the presence of all those gorgeous Porsche Spyders and Ferraris that meant collectors weren't interested in boxy, utilitarian off-roaders. View 24 Photos Gooding and Co. had expected the convertible Duesenberg coupe to go for more than $10 million. It was one of only two of its kind built by Duesenberg — the other having gone to Clark Gable — with a specially shortened, 125-inch wheelbase and a supercharged straight-eight with double overhead cams, able to produce around 400 horsepower and a top speed of 140 miles per hour. It features a lightweight open-roadster bobtail body produced by LaGrande out of Connersville, Ind. The car was also owned at one point by race driver Briggs Cunningham.
Ford C-Max Solar Energi takes a recharging station wherever it goes
Wed, 08 Jan 2014Companies ranging in size from small startups to major automakers have been experimenting with solar-powered charging stations for EVs and plug-in hybrids. And, of course, people have been powering vehicles with onboard solar panels for quite some time, too. Still, Ford's new C-Max Solar Energi Concept shows the promise of a truly practical implementation of solar on a production vehicle, and it may not be as far off in the future as we had thought.
As we reported a few days ago, the Solar concept makes use of a "concentrator lens" that focuses sunlight onto the Ford's roof-mounted solar panels. The special lens follows the rays of the sun to maximize the amount of charge being fed to the batteries of the car, taking about a day to fully charge the 21-mile, all-electric range of the C-Max Energi. Ford data suggests that combination might be enough to power 75 percent of all trips made by a statistically average driver. In turn, using the sun to power a vehicle could reduce yearly C02 emissions by up to four metric tons when compared with the driver of an average gasoline-powered sedan.
We've got live images of the C-Max Solar Energi Concept, jauntily tilted on its display to best present it's signature solar panels, straight from the CES floor.
Former Ford president, Jaguar chairman Nick Scheele dead at 70
Sun, 20 Jul 2014We have the privilege here at Autoblog of reporting a lot of good news, but it is our duty as well to report the bad news and sad news as well. And this is one of those occasions as the automotive industry mourns the passing of one of its leaders.
Nick Scheele was born in the UK in 1944 and joined the Ford Motor Company upon graduating from the University of Durham in 1966, staying within the Blue Oval's portfolio for the entirety of his career. After moving to North America in 1978, he rose through the ranks to become president of Ford's Mexican operations in 1988. After acquiring Jaguar, Ford appointed Scheele as its chairman.
Scheele subsequently acted as chairman of all of Ford's European operations, making difficult decisions to take the division out of the red and into the black. He briefly headed up Ford's North American division before he was appointed in 2001 as president and chief operating officer of the global automaker, working under CEO Bill Ford following the departure of Jacques Nasser departure and retaining the role until his retirement in 2005.
