This is a rare find for someone who loves classic trucks, and doesn't just want to keep them in the garage but enjoys a truck that drives every day.

I bought this for my 16-year old daughter about a year ago.  When I bought it, it was in good running condition but needed a little work to get it to a comfortable, safe, every-day vehicle.  When I started doing work on it, I let her drive my late model F-250, and she loves my big truck so much she wants to keep driving it, and I've enjoyed driving this 1964 F-100 so much I commute up and down I-70 every day, and never had a problem.  My wife's parents recently gave us their used SUV, and (to my regret) the old '64 is one extra vehicle than we need.  I've kept records of every part, repair and service over the past year.

First here's the overall description of the truck you're bidding on:

- 1964 Ford F-100 short bed 

- Great-working 4-wheel drive - a rare and valuable find on a truck of this vintage - with manual locking hubs

- Re-built upon a 1983 Ford F-150 drive train, chassis and engine

- Front disc brakes

- Power steering

- Edelbrock 305 V-8 engine, 4-barrel carb, automatic transmission - in disclosure, I really have no idea how many miles are on the engine - it leaks a little oil (but doesn't burn it), and runs great

- Dual exhaust with glass packs 

- Super clean exterior re-painted with the original factory color of the truck in Ford Green

- No notable rust

- 15-inch custom wheels enhancing the truck's stance and retaining the classic looks

- Gas tank moved from original position (behind the bench seat) and mounted between the frame rails under the bed (seems safer to me!)

- Newer (however used - from an F-150 salvage) side-mounted mirrors for better visibility

- After-market stereo with CD player and speakers (I have them wired in, but not mounted very pretty yet pending a new headliner)

- Floor covering in great shape with no tears


 In addition, here are other minor but important enhancements/upgrades I've made:

- Completely covered floors, behind the seat, and internal firewall with sound-proofing and fire-proofing fabric for safety, noise dampening, and insulation (haven't gotten to the ceiling liner yet - will have to be the next owner)

- Added "saddle blanket" style seat cover over original bench seat.  The seat has a minor seam gap that wasn't big enough for me to bother with, but it's on the driver side

- New steering linkage and tie rods

- New shocks

- New alternator

- New high capacity battery

- New high capacity radiator - brand new

- Replaced door sealing for tighter fit, insulation and noise dampening

- Added extra seal to top of doors - you need to shut the doors a little harder to get them closed, but I like it because it's better insulated and lower noise, but if shutting them easier is what you want, they are easily removed

- Sprayed additional coat of liquid sealer to interior (non-visible) door panels for additional sound proofing

- Welded post in bed to secure spare rim/tire (spare rim is same size however not same style as four mounted rims)

- Replaced the seals on the vent windows, plus replaced the hood bumpers to eliminate rattles here and there

- Ford F-100 "arrow" style emblems on either side of the hood.  These don't match the original "badge-style" for the '64, but I just think they look cooler and add to the truck's appearance

- Re-built heater core that works like a charm - including de-frost that works equally well (replaced one of the defroster ducts), ran new hoses from radiator and re-painted core cover visible from inside the truck

- Installed a wiper washer resevoir and electric pump, tubing, spray mounts on hood, along with electrical switch on dash - wipers work great

- NEW 15-inch all-terrain tires - these have less than 300 miles on them; I hesitated to replace them before sale but one of the others was starting to dry rot and I felt better about selling it with fresh rubber


The only disclosures I'd make to be sure the buyer of this great truck feels all has been mentioned:

The original radio cover on the dash isn't all that well-secured.  I have it held down with some loose screws and added rubber strip under it for anti-vibration but it would be extremely easy to secure this.  There's a small scratch (pictured) on the passenger side.  There's some missing knobs - a couple on the dash, the window cranks - but I haven't gotten around to re-painting the dash and putting the fit and finish on interior stuff like that.  The hood secures tight, but I notice a larger gap on the passenger side than on the driver side - this isn't a problem, just cosmetic, and adjusting hood springs isn't something I've gotten around to.  There is also a light scrape (not a dent) on the front passenger side corner (also pictured).  The antennae works, but needs a new exterior rod (screw on type).  I've taken pictures of any/all exterior stuff so you can see for yourself.

The truck has never left Colorado since I've owned it, and where it will ship from if you are out of state (seller responsible for shipping), and I'm one of those guys who washes his truck every week, and have applied two coats of polish to the paint to keep it nice.  This is a fun, every-day truck – rare 4x4 in an old classic like this, power steering and disc brakes and head-turning exterior.  If I had a dollar for every time someone left a note on my windshield that they'd like to buy it I wouldn't have to list it here...!

Happy bidding.

Need for Speed movie casts Mustang in hero car role

Mon, 10 Jun 2013

Dreamworks Studios, Electronic Arts and Ford Motor Company announced today that the Ford Mustang will play the lead hero car role in the upcoming Need for Speed movie, slated to hit theaters next February. Of course, the Mustang didn't audition for the role like we imagine the film's star, Aaron Paul of Breaking Bad fame, might have. Rather, Ford and Dreamworks struck a partnership deal that meant the Mustang could skip the casting couch. The deal will also see the film's universe populated with other Ford products (gratuitously so, we're guessing), and the automaker will also help the studio promote the video-game-turned-movie next year.
The hero car in question is a special one-off Mustang created by Ford that is making its debut at the E3 video game trade show as we speak. Powered by a supercharged V8 and apparently based on the Shelby GT500, the car's been modified with a widebody kit, 22-inch wheels, larger air intakes and twin hood nostrils. Ford also provided the film's production with an F-450 truck that will be called "The Beast" in the film's story, and a second Mustang to be used during filming as a camera car.
The Mustang's movie career is really taking off, with news of its Need For Speed casting closely following last week's release of the trailer for Getaway, a movie coming out in August that stars Ethan Hawke, Selena Gomez and another Shelby GT500. In addition to Aaron Paul and a modified Mustang, the Need For Speed movie also stars Michael Keaton (cop, we're guessing) and Dominic Cooper (villain, we're guessing), and is directed by Scott Waugh, who directed the Navy SEAL film Act of Valor in 2012.

Major Alexa deal will bring Amazon services into more cars

Wed, Jan 9 2019

Amazon and its personal assistance service Alexa are partnering with HERE Technologies to create a new connected mobility service powerhouse. Alexa will integrate with HERE's navigation and location services to offer what the two companies are calling a "true voice-first-navigation experience." Alexa will come pre-integrated with HERE navigation on-demand, which the automakers can then enable, which should help cut down on development time. One of the biggest features from this partnership is how directions could be offered and delivered using HERE's Open Location Platform (OLP). Currently, the OLP uses data from several car manufacturers to provide insights into real-time location and traffic. But on Alexa, this could be used to provide directional context. For example, Alexa could say, "Turn right after [such-and-such a building]" rather than just, "Turn right." Amazon has been testing the automotive waters throughout the past decade. Its home-based Alexa-enabled devices are already offered with connections to several manufacturers. To various degrees of integration, it can already pair with Ford, Genesis, Toyota, Lexus, Hyundai and BMW vehicles. At the end of 2018, Amazon took things a step further when it introduced the Echo Auto, a Bluetooth-connected Alexa assistant device that can be physically kept in a car. Currently only available by invitation (its production and distribution have been delayed), the $25 device is essentially a voice service that works together with smartphones and connects to a car's speakers. Users can command it to do a variety of things, including playing music, setting navigation, opening the garage door, finding local stores, making calls, setting reminders, and thousands of other "skills." According to The Verge, nearly 1 million people have already ordered the device. Some (well, probably few) may know HERE Technologies from its maps on Windows Phones. We all know how that turned out, though. Today, HERE has expanded into a multi-function suite that is available in multiple mediums, including many automotive applications. HERE Automotive's connected vehicle services include real-time traffic, parking, weather, fuel prices, hazard warnings, traffic sign integration, and even EV charging stations. These all incorporate and extend the use of HERE's location and tracking programming. HERE is already partnered with BMW, Audi, Daimler, Intel, Mobileye, NVIDIA, and has investments from Bosch, Continental and Pioneer.

China takes lead as GM's No. 1 market

Tue, 09 Jul 2013

It's happened. General Motors' biggest vehicle market - at least in terms of new model sales - is China. According to TheDetroitBureau.com, GM and its various Chinese joint venture operations enjoyed a 10.6-percent sales increase in the first half of 2013, selling almost 1.6 million units in the market. That puts GM China about 200,000 units ahead of its US sales totals over the same period - this, despite indicators that the communist nation's economy is losing momentum.
TDB notes that like GM, rival Ford has also enjoyed a robust 2013 in China thus far, with its sales up a whopping 47 percent to 407,721 units sold - 75,254 of them in June alone. Between the two US automakers, passenger car sales for the first half of 2013 are up around 14 percent, well ahead of the rest of the industry's 10-percent growth estimates for the market. Some of the sales growth may come as a result of an overall anti-Japan sentiment in China, though the American brands have long outsold their Japanese counterparts in the country.
By The General's own predictions, China will only continue to grow in sales importance. The company has designs on selling over five million cars a year in the market before the end of the decade, a total that figures to dramatically widen the gap versus its US totals - even if America's auto market makes a full recovery to the the salad days of over 17-million units a year.
