1976 Ford F100 With Utility Bed, 83,000 Original Miles!!!!! on 2040-cars

Year:1976 Mileage:83000
Location:

Elk River, Minnesota, United States

Elk River, Minnesota, United States

This vehicle was originally purchased by the State of Minnesota and used at Minnesota State University on campus for work related functions.  The miles are original and the vehicle still has the 1996 tires that were installed at that time.  The tires will need to be replaced for safety purposes.  I purchased the vehicle a month ago to drive as a daily driver and have completed some work on it since purchasing it.  Because I sold another vehicle and took a trade on it, I am going to drive the trade I accepted and in turn sell this truck.  It is a great truck and runs really well.  The transmission is strong and works well without any grinding, etc.  The clutch is not new, I don't know if it is the original or not, but it still operates properly.  Since the truck had been sitting for a few years, I have repaired the accelerator pump in the carb; I have installed new rear brake wheel cylinders and brake linings with new brake fluid; I have installed a new master brake cylinder; installed new mufflers on the dual exhaust system (Thrush Glass Packs) with new tips on the ends (Sounds Awesome); fixed an exhaust leak at the exhaust manifold at the tail pipe connection; repaired the window washing reservoir and tips at the windshield to insure that they work properly; all of the utility box doors operate and lock properly- and they are clean inside without much damage; all the lights work on the truck. This is not a perfect truck but without much more work on it to do I was planning on driving it as a daily driver.  It turns a lot of heads driving down the road.

Please only bid if you have the capacity and positive ebay history to substantiate your bid.  I have placed a minimum sale price on it that I will accept.  I will deliver in the Twin Cities metropolitan area and will assist your transportation carrier in making it available for pick-up, etc.  I am requiring a $500 deposit on the bid acceptance within 24 hours after the final bid time line.  Final payment needs to be in the form of cash or a certified check from a local bank that operates in Elk River, Minnesota so that I can be assured that payment is bankable.

Thanks for looking and don't let this one get away, it is a great truck.  I just sold my 1946 Chevrolet with a Utility Bed on it, an old Bell Lineman truck and the wife won't let me keep this truck and the trade-in I received selling the 46.  That's life!!!

Ford EcoBoost V6 hits the dyno before hitting the track

Wed, 02 Oct 2013

Ford Racing just unveiled the Riley Daytona Prototype that will make its racing in the United SportsCar Racing Championship Rolex 24 at Daytona in January, and now it has released a video showing development of twin-turbo 3.5-liter EcoBoost V6 that powers the car. Using the same block and heads that can be found on a production Ford Taurus SHO, this new racecar benefits from the collaboration between Ford Racing and Ford powertrain engineers.
While we still don't know what kind of power this engine is putting out, it has definitely gotten a workout at Ford's 17G dyno. This area deep within Ford allows the automaker's racing program to work hand-in-hand with production engine programs, which can be a benefit to racing operations and production cars alike. Scroll down to hear a few people from Ford talk about the crosspollination between its racing and engine teams and watch the EcoBoost get red hot on the dyno.

Ford unveils all-new 2016 F-650 and F-750 at NTEA

Tue, 04 Mar 2014

Medium-duty work trucks might not be the most exciting vehicles, but they perform necessary jobs everyday. Ford is in the process of a complete refresh of its entire commercial vehicle lineup over the next 18 months, and it is debuting the all-new versions of its F-650 and F-750 trucks at the NTEA Work Truck Show in Indianapolis, IN.
"The all-new F-650/F-750 allow us to leverage our strengths and sales leadership in Classes 1 to 5 to create a better F-650/F-750 that's designed, engineered and built by Ford in the USA," said Ford spokesperson Mike Levine to Autoblog via email.
Huge amounts of torque is vital for trucks like these, and both models are offered with some of Fords biggest engines. Buyers can opt for either the 6.7-liter Power Stroke V8 diesel with TorqShift 6-speed automatic with available power takeoff or a gasoline-fueled 6.8-liter V10 with a 6-speed automatic. The V10 can also be ordered from the factory to be fueled by compressed natural gas or liquid propane gas.

Weekly Recap: Ferrari, Ford and Porsche power up for Geneva

Sat, Feb 7 2015

Monday was Groundhog Day. Tuesday, apparently, was Sports Car Day. The Ferrari 488 GTB, the Ford Focus RS and the Porsche Cayman GT4 all debuted within hours of each other ahead of their rollouts at the Geneva Motor Show. Three sporty machines, three vastly different approaches – and a lot of implications for enthusiasts. That's a day worth repeating. It also illustrates the opportunities automakers see in the performance market, which is expected to grow in the coming years. Ford estimates the segment has expanded 14 percent in Europe and surged 70 percent in North America since 2009. The Detroit Auto Show was evidence of this, and performance cars of every stripe debuted, including the Acura NSX, Ford GT, Alfa Romeo 4C Spider and several others. This isn't a fad. Performance cars aren't going away. The question is why? Stricter CAFE standards are looming in the United States, as are tighter emissions regulations in Europe. And no one expects gas prices to remain low in America. None of this matters for sports cars, and automakers are increasingly using them to elevate their images. That's why Dodge rolled out two 707-horsepower Hellcats last year. It's why Ford has decided to resurrect the GT for road and track. It's why in the depths of bankruptcy, General Motors continued work on the Chevrolet Corvette Stingray, not to mention the Z06. "Great brands are made one car at a time," Ford of Europe president Jim Farley said at the reveal of the Focus RS. Still, companies make those cars for different reasons. View 5 Photos Mainstream brands like Ford and Dodge want to build cars that get people talking, excite their bases and drive more potential customers into the showroom. They probably don't buy a Focus RS or a Hellcat, but suddenly the regular Focus hatch looks a bit hotter, and that V6 Charger seems to be just a touch more muscular. The halo of performance is alive and well in the eyes of automakers and their customers. "It's one of the most effective catalysts for ingenuity and innovation," said Joe Bakaj, vice president of product development for Ford of Europe. That also leads to a trickle-down effect. Some of the technologies inevitably make their way to other products. It's hard to think the new all-wheel-drive system in the Focus RS that distributes torque front to rear and side to side won't be used in other vehicles. It's different for Ferrari and Porsche.
