Up for grabs is  a 1974 Ford F-100 Custom Long Box. I bought this truck from the original owners wife who's husband bought it brand new . It had been sitting for some time before I purchased it last licensed in 2012. Truck has original paint  (Village  green & Wimbledon white) and has never been wrecked. Truck was equipped with 3 spd cruise o matic  and 390 v8 has power steering and power brakes has a/c but has been removed have original compressor  and will come with truck . Truck has a new 4 barrel elelbrock  carb and truck runs ok it's not perfect. It had been sitting like I said for two years only being started every few weeks  had old gas I've since ran a tank of new gas through the front tank . I have not used the rear tank at all. Motor looks to be stock except the carb and headers. I have replaced the collector gaskets and then noticed a leak on the drivers side header gasket  so it does have a leak on the drivers side that will need attention. Truck does leak a little oil  but have not noticed it burning any oil. Odometer shows 47k I would guess 147k the wife of owner who passed away said she thought 147k .  The interior of truck looks great has some cracks on dash but seat is like mint condition had seat cover on truck since new. Every thing works except the blinkers you have to hold the lever to get them to operate. Oil pressure gauge does not work  and left turn signal light on dash is out. Truck doesn't overheat and does drive ok it's old so don't expect a new truck. Tires only have 4k miles on them but they were purchased in 2000 according to receipt  they are dry rotted and I wouldn't trust them to drive across the country.  Truck has been in NM it's entire life so the sun has rotted all rubber parts  on truck. For some reason the owner liked spray paint  and painted the engine black  and grill guard silver  also had even sprayed the mag wheels  and parts of engine bay silver..  The truck has rust on hood and spots on truck you see that are covered in primer ( see pictures ) . Windshield is cracked and all other glass  is somewhat cloudy and scratched. Owner also did a half ass job with bed liner material in truck bed . Front bumper is bent in a little on passenger side and tailgate latch is not working you can open tailgate by pulling rod with pliers .  Truck will come with original  A/C compressor , exhaust manifolds , warranty card and owners manual and purchase agreement .

This is a cool vintage truck that has a lot of potential have a clear NM title in my name ready to transfer . If you have zero feedback please contact me before bidding . Truck is at No reserve If you have any questions or need additional pictures please call me at 575-534-9089. Thanks.

Defying Trump, major automakers finalize California emissions deal

Tue, Aug 18 2020

WASHINGTON — The California Air Resources Board (CARB) and major automakers on Monday confirmed they had finalized binding agreements to cut vehicle emissions in the state, defying the Trump administration's push for weaker curbs on tailpipe pollution. The agreements with carmakers Ford Motor Co, Volkswagen AG, Honda Motor Co and BMW AG were first announced in July 2019 as voluntary measures prompting anger from U.S. President Donald Trump. A month later, the Justice Department opened an antitrust probe into the agreements. The government ended the investigation without action. The Trump administration in March finalized a rollback of U.S. vehicle emissions standards to require 1.5% annual increases in efficiency through 2026. That is far weaker than the 5% annual increases in the discarded rules adopted under President Barack Obama. The 50-page California agreements, which extend through 2026, are less onerous than the standards finalized by the Obama administration but tougher than the Trump administration standards. The automakers have also agreed to electric vehicle commitments. Volvo Cars, owned by China's Geely Holdings, said in March it planned to join the automakers agreeing to the California requirements. It has also finalized its agreement. The settlement agreements say California and automakers agreed to resolve "potential legal disputes concerning the authority of CARB" and other states that have adopted California's standards. In May, a group of 23 U.S. states led by California and some major cities, challenged the Trump vehicle emissions rule. Other major automakers like General Motors Co, Fiat Chrysler Automobiles NV and Toyota Motor Corp did not join the California agreement. Those companies also sided with the Trump administration in a separate lawsuit over whether the federal government can strip California of the right to set zero emission vehicle requirements. Ford said the "final agreement will reduce emissions in our vehicles at a more stringent rate, support and incentivize the production of electrified products, and create regulatory certainty." BMW said "by setting these long-term, predictable, and achievable standards, we have the regulatory certainty that is necessary for long-term planning that will not only reduce greenhouse gas emissions but ultimately benefit consumers as well." 

Chip Ganassi Racing switches to the Ford EcoBoost-powered Riley Daytona Prototype

Wed, 06 Nov 2013

Chip 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 overlooks the Big Apple in the 2015 Mustang Convertible [w/video]

Wed, 16 Apr 2014

Ford has done it again. Like in April of 1964, there is once again an all-new Mustang Convertible sitting on the observation deck of New York City's Empire State Building. This has been in the making for a little while, with the first report that Ford would recreate the sky-high publicity stunt coming out a few weeks back.
The process of getting the Mustang up there wasn't exactly easy. A Troy, MI-based company chopped up the new droptop, a necessary evil to get the Mustang on the Empire State Building's only freight elevator that runs to the 86th floor observation deck. But it was slightly more involved than just taking the car apart. The company, DST, built a mockup of the ESB's freight elevators, and then practiced its cuts on a second pre-production Mustang Convertible (measure twice, cut once).
The result of all this work are the images you see above. Yes, sitting in the crisp, morning air of midtown Manhattan, over 1,000 feet up, is this brilliant, Triple Yellow Mustang. Take a look up top for our gallery of images from today's event. You can also scroll down for videos and images of the process leading up to the ESB debut.
