Beautiful original 1977 F100 Custom Explorer with like new orig interior you have to see to believe!!! Also undercarriage is like off the lot in 1977 with only very end of dual exhaust pipes showing rust through due to chrome exhaust tips being on it when I got it that held moisture between them and pipes causing some rust through.Exterior has some issues with pinstriping on hood that needs redoing and some parking lot scratches here and there,but zero rust,rot,or sheet metal repair anywhere...this truck is solid as a rock.There is also a dent above rear passenger side tail-light that is the exteriors worst issue keeping it from receiving trophies at car shows.Truck has factory a/c that needs recharging and new belt,but did blow air before I took belt off so all power would transfer to motor and not needlessly turn a/c pulley.Truck also features orig AM/FM stereo,orig FORD hubcaps,and loud air horns mounted under hood run by compressor and air tank along with aux. air hose to inflate other things as needed(orig horn still operates as well). I also recently put on a new carb that still needs tuning,but starts,idles,and runs good,but under power does hesitate some at slow speed,but does come out of it as it increases in speed.Honestly,I'm horrible at adjusting carbs as well as setting timing so someone that can do that or send to a garage to do it right will have a great running truck!!! Currently the truck is running off a 22 gallon fuel cell mounted in bed of truck due to both orig gas tanks needing a thorough draining and cleaning or possible replacement due to possible rusting from inside out or just crappy old gas varnishing inside tanks(that's what messed up my orig carb). Also,drivers side inner door panel is a bit loose on bottom due to a few clips falling out so I'll try and get that fixed before new owner takes delivery of it,but new clips are easily obtained as well as most new parts for these old Fords through LMC Ford Parts.

Truck is advertised locally so if it's sold or traded locally the ad will be taken down promptly! If truck is won by auction on here,winner is solely responsible for all shipping charges or can be picked up locally.I can hold truck as long as needed as long as it's paid for in full and you explain situation before final winning bid!!

Ford Fiesta becomes UK all-time best seller

Thu, 24 Jul 2014

We may regard Ford as an American automaker, but ask a Brit and they may tell you otherwise. The Blue Oval has, after all, been selling cars in the UK since 1903, and started manufacturing there as far back as 1911 when it began local production of the Model T in Manchester. Last year Ford ended 100 years of vehicle manufacturing in the UK when the last Transit van rolled off the assembly line in Southampton, but it's still the biggest-selling automotive marque in Britain.
Ford has led the British market for 34 out of the past 45 years, selling more Fiestas than any other company sells any other car in the UK since 2009... when it overtook the Focus. In fact the Fiesta has now become the best-selling car in British history, topping 4,115,000 units since its introduction in 1976. The previous record was held by - you guessed it - another Ford: the Escort sold 4,105,961 units over the course of its 32 years on the British market.
Although the Fiesta is no longer manufactured in the UK (previous versions having been built at Dagenham until 2002), engines are: the EcoBoost line was developed at the company's R&D center in Essex and are built at the factory in Dunton, while its diesel engines were developed at Dagenham in East London. Even the 1.6-liter EcoBoost engine in the Fiesta ST is built in South Wales.

Ford GT, Buick Avenir and Audi Q7 take 2015 EyesOn Design awards

Thu, Jan 15 2015

The annual EyesOn Design Awards at the Detroit Auto Show allows some of the greatest designers in the world to weigh in on the best production and concept debuts at the big event each year. For 2015, the large panel of judges included luminaries like Frank Stephenson of McLaren, Ralph Gilles from FCA and Moray Callum of Ford. Apparently the editors at Autoblog had a good eye because the winner of 2015's Best Designed Production Vehicle award went to the Ford GT, which was also our favorite debut from the show. The new supercar beat the Acura NSX and Mercedes-Benz GLE-Class Coupe for the honor. The judges described the Blue Oval's shape as "capturing the original GT40 in a modern interpretation," according to EyesOn Design. The Buick Avenir was also a big winner in the awards this year and received the nods for both Best Designed Concept Vehicle and Innovative Use of Color, Graphics and Materials. In the concept category, it beat out the Chevrolet Bolt and Mercedes-Benz F 015, and in the latter group, the sedan triumphed over Audi Q7, Mercedes F 015 and Volkswagen Cross Coupe GTE. The Q7 received its own accolade for Best Designed Interior, and it beat the Avenir and Infiniti Q60 for the honor. This year's Lifetime Design Achievement Award went to former Renault designer Patrick le Quement, and Bob Lutz received the EyesOn Design Catalyst Award for the second time. The honor is for an executive "who has empowered great design," according to the organization, which describes Lutz perfectly. Scroll down to read the announcement with more comments about the winners.

Ford evaluating new Fiesta RS?

Wed, 08 Jan 2014

Word coming in from across the pond has it that Ford is working on developing the business case to create a new Fiesta RS. The development is encouraged by the extremely positive reception the existing Fiesta ST has garnered to date, and the emergence of the above-pictured Fiesta RS WRC rally car, but it'll take more than goodwill to make a more extreme version a reality.
According to Auto Express, a new roadgoing Fiesta RS would almost certainly be based closely on the ST version, albeit with some vital differences. Its 1.6-liter turbo four would be increased from 180 horsepower to somewhere around 230 hp, and that powertrain would be accompanied by lightweight alloys inside blistered wheel arches, a stripped-out interior and possibly lightweight bodywork.
The vehicle's approval would reportedly require a strong business case in Europe, and not just in the UK where Ford hot hatches traditionally enjoy a strong following. It's unclear whether the Fiesta RS would potentially make the transatlantic voyage to American showrooms, but between it and the larger Focus RS, hopefully the Blue Oval wouldn't leave its home market out of the action altogether.
