Ford F-100 / F100 Pickup - Classic, Clean, Every-day Driving Condition on 2040-cars
Evergreen, Colorado, United States
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. |

Bring back the Bronco! Trademarks we hope are actually (someday) future car names
Tue, Mar 17 2015Trademark filings are the tea leaves of the auto industry. Read them carefully – and interpret them correctly – and you might be previewing an automaker's future product plans. Yes, they're routinely filed to maintain the rights to an iconic name. And sometimes they're only for toys and clothing. But not always. Sometimes, the truth is right in front of us. The trademark is required because a company actually wants to use the name on a new car. With that in mind, here's a list of intriguing trademark filings we want to see go from paperwork to production reality. Trademark: Bronco Company: Ford Previous Use: The Bronco was a long-running SUV that lived from 1966-1996. It's one of America's original SUVs and was responsible for the increased popularity of the segment. Still, it's best known as O.J. Simpson's would-be getaway car. We think: The Bronco was an icon. Everyone seems to want a Wrangler-fighter – Ford used to have a good one. Enough time has passed that the O.J. police chase isn't the immediate image conjured by the Bronco anymore. Even if we're doing a wish list in no particular order, the Bronco still finds its way to the top. For now (unfortunately), it's just federal paperwork. Rumors on this one can get especially heated. The official word from a Ford spokesman is: "Companies renew trademark filings to maintain ownership and control of the mark, even if it is not currently used. Ford values the iconic Bronco name and history." Trademarks: Aviator, AV8R Company: Ford Previous Use: The Aviator was one of the shortest-run Lincolns ever, lasting for the 2003-2005 model years. It never found the sales success of the Ford Explorer, with which it shared a platform. We Think: The Aviator name no longer fits with Lincoln's naming nomenclature. Too bad, it's better than any other name Lincoln currently uses, save for its former big brother, the Navigator. Perhaps we're barking up the wrong tree, though. Ford has made several customized, aviation themed-Mustangs in the past, including one called the Mustang AV8R in 2008, which had cues from the US Air Force's F-22 Raptor fighter jet. It sold for $500,000 at auction, and the glass roof – which is reminiscent of a fighter jet cockpit – helped Ford popularize the feature. Trademark: EcoBeast Company: Ford Previous Use: None by major carmakers.
Subaru Legacy pitted against Roadkill project cars
Fri, 05 Sep 2014There's an evergreen debate among auto enthusiasts about whether they would prefer to have the latest and greatest car of today or a certified classic from yesteryear. What if you had to further define that, though, and the choice was between a brand new 2015 Subaru Legacy or a turbocharged Datsun 240Z with a hatch that wouldn't close? Roadkill aimed to find out that and more in one of its best videos to date.
According to the hosts, Subaru came to them, handed over some money and challenged Roadkill's project cars against its latest Legacy. The result is every bit as good (or better) than any automotive-themed show you could find on television.
Things start simple with a figure-eight race in a rodeo arena with the Subaru taking on Roadkill's 1968 Ford Ranchero, originally built for ice racing. From there the Legacy races a 1968 Dodge Charger with no windows around and off-road rally stage. Finally, the Subie goes head-to-head against the Rotsun, the aforementioned turbocharged 240Z, through an abandoned neighborhood. Plus, there's a bonus drag race challenging them all.
