Ford F100, 289 Motor, Longbed, Stepside, Halfton, on 2040-cars
Emporia, Kansas, United States
I am selling my 1965 Ford F-100 stepside longbed truck. I have had this project for about 15 years and this is as far as I have made it, do to life issues. I do not plan to finish the truck and what is done is done right with good parts. I have most of the rest of the parts except the items I was going to replace new during the restore. I do not have the bumpers or windshield. bed floor, slats and some other small items. I have striped another truck so I have several extra parts. I was going to restore the truck as close to stock as possible except for the engine. The origional engine was a 6 cyl and I have a 289 in it now. What I have done is the frame and cab have been striped down the bare metal and all rust repaired. cab has new cab mounts. The rear end is stock and looks good. All the brakes are new with new drums, bearings, lines and hoses. Front end has all new moog parts allong with new king pins. New monroe shocks and new bushings and front and rear springs. The engine I bought off a guy who recentaly had it rebuilt at a shop in town, I put a edelbrock intake and 650 carb on it along with new water pump, distribuator, and some dress up parts. Engine looks good. It has the stock 3 speed manual trans with a new clutch kit installed. I have the radiator support, inner finders, battery tray and a few other parts painted and done. I have 2 sets of front fenders and doors for it. I have the stepside bed for it also. This would be a good project which is well started. Not too far if you wanted to change something. The cab is just resting on the frame in the pictures. Any questions call 620-757-9715. Leave a message if no answer. Thank you.

Junkyard Gem: 1991 Mercury Grand Marquis LS
Sat, Jan 21 2023Ford's now-defunct Mercury Division first began using the Marquis name in 1967, on a sporty full-size hardtop based on the Ford LTD, then began offering the Grand Marquis beginning in the 1979 model year. These big, boxy luxury sedans were replaced by big, curvy luxury sedans (on the same platform) starting with the 1992 model year, so today's Junkyard Gem is one of the very last squared-off Grand Marquises ever built. The 1991 Grand Marquis (or "Grandma Keith," as many refer to it today) looks nearly identical to its 1979 predecessor at a glance, just as the 2011 model doesn't differ much from the 1992 model. Ford saw no reason to follow short-lived fashion trends with its simple, sturdy rear-wheel-drive sedan. Only two Grand Marquis trim levels were available for 1991: the base GS and the (somewhat) upscale LS. The former listed at $18,741 and the latter at $19,241, which comes to about $41,494 and $42,601, respectively, in inflated 2022 dollars). This interior would have seemed comfortingly familiar to a 1968 (or even 1958) Mercury owner time-traveling to 1991. This is the optional "full grain leather seating surface," which cost an extra $489 (about $1,083 today). Dig those opera lights! Air conditioning was standard equipment in the 1991 Grand Marquis and its wagon counterpart, the Colony Park. The engine is the good old pushrod 5.0-liter Windsor V8, which would be replaced by a far more modern 4.6-liter SOHC mill in the '92 Grand Marquis. This engine was rated at 180 horsepower. A four-speed automatic was the only transmission available. The early 1990s ended up being the last gasp for padded vinyl roofs being considered mainstream equipment on new Detroit cars; this one was called the "Formal Coach" roof and cost an additional 725 bucks ($1,605 now). Such roofs were still available on a few cars later in the decade, but their time had passed. Why would such a clean Grandma Keith end up in a place like this? That's easy: it got T-boned directly into the right front wheel, mangling the body and bending up the suspension. This damage might have been worth fixing when the car was five years old, but it's a write-off when it happens to a 31-year-old Ford Panther. 1991 Mercury Grand Marquis Commercial - Savings Ad The granddaddy of them all, and on sale in South Texas!

Consumer Reports says Toyota, Ford, Honda and Chevy are big winners in brand perception survey
Wed, 05 Feb 2014According to Consumer Reports, the automotive brands that stand out in the minds of car buyers are, in order: Toyota, Ford, Honda and Chevrolet. This news comes after the magazine polled its readers, asking them to take into account vehicle quality, safety, performance, value, fuel economy, design/style, and technology/innovation - which are the factors that car shoppers are most influenced by.
It's important to note that this award is only about perception. In other words, it's perceived quality, not actual quality. "Often, perception can be a trailing indicator, reflecting years of good or bad performance in a category, and it can also be influenced by headlines in the media," said Jeff Bartlett, Consumer Reports deputy automotive editor.
The brand that made the biggest jump in perception amongst Consumer Reports readers is Tesla, which posted an impressive 47-point gain to finish in fifth place. Subaru is also notable for finishing in the top 10, despite being one of the smaller manufacturers doing business in the US.
