This is a great find!   Built and sold in TX, this truck has been in the same family since 1972.    Everything seems to work on this truck (nothing is botched up) and the odometer reads 88k.   Speedo works, temp gauge, gas gauge, all of it! 

Spend a few hundred bucks making it legal and safe and run it the way it is!   Pictures do not do it justice.   This truck turns heads!   Chicks dig it.   

Rat rod her to your personal preference.  Air bag it!    Run race headers, side pipes...options are endless. 

....or you have a great solid start to a period correct restore.    This is your truck for that too.   

Personally I wouldn't touch that Patina for a long time!   You couldn't ask for a more attention grabbing bad ass truck.   It just looks angry and instantly makes you a tough guy (or girl).    Just going to the gas station I got a crowd of people around me!   My girlfriend said I look sexy in it.  I am very close to not selling this.  

The ORIGINAL 352 V8 was rebuilt with a hipo cam, head work, intake and 4 barrel.   Anyone who knows the FE motor knows what that adds up to....TORQUE MONSTER!   It was set up to run on modern gas, given a healthy cam (nice sounding lope), edelbrock intake and matching 4 barrel carb, ...and then the owner died.   Kind of adds to the trucks mystique I think. 

It has an estimated 5 hours of run time to keep things lubed up.    

I have flushed the gas tank, replaced gas lines, installed an inline fuel filter, a new mechanical fuel pump, and she fired up and runs on all eight like nobodys business.    At least one side of the exhaust is leaking bad at the manifold/exhaust donut, (old school 2' duals with cherry bombs hang in place), but it still sounds great.   I ran it softly to operating temp and flushed out the oil, ran a big magnet through the oil and  It was clean as could be.   Zero smoke, no funny noises, just a solid healthy ford v8 that needs a good tuning. The engine is clean, all gaskets, freeze plugs etc. were replaced and block was repainted blue.    

 If I were to keep it, this would be my path to get it on the road.    
-Two exhaust manifold gaskets (donut between pipe and manifold)   Heck, Id probably spring for a new flowmaster or magnaflow dual set up.   Looks like this exhaust has been with the truck a while....
-New Rubber
-Front shocks
-Drum brake rebuilds (it stops fine but its old and its fast!!!) dont be dumb.   Pads and springs are cheap.
-Set the timing and tune the carb. 
-I would probably update the cassette deck;) 
-Go through front end with a fine tooth comb (safety first)  Replace bushings/ball joints as necessary.   I didn't see anything that needs immediate attention.    

The interior is probably my favorite part!     
The factory seat isn't even worn out!   There is nothing like a Red bench in a black classic pickup!    The headliner and both interior door covers are in amazing shape with just a tinge of Patina... its like a work of art.  You can't help but fall in love with this thing. 

The F100 V8 with the spare tire in the flare side is super rare.   When was the last time you saw one pass you?   It even appears that the original 1967 spare poly tire is mounted.   The bolts have never been turned and it was under cover until now.  

As stated above there is a little decay under the rear fenders below the bed where wasps built large bulletproof nests that held moisture over the years.  This is a seperate bolt in peice!!!   No work at all!!    
There was a nest under the mat in the upper right hand side of passenger floor as well.   Super easy fix.  This is not a unibody vehicle but a heavy duty framed vehicle.  The floor repair is simple and not part of the structural integrity of the vehicle.   One of the doors has a couple of bondo skims (painted black) over small dents, nothing major.  Never in any accidents. 

You will see in the pictures that the owner did a nice job of welding plate steel in the bed over the factory wood planks.  Keep it like that (nice clean welding job), or cut it out and redo the the wood planks underneath for a really cool look. Cherry wood on that Patina with a red interior would look amazing!!!    A little extra weight back there doesn't hurt.  It has a claimed weight around 3000 but it feels a lot lighter then that....

Well that's it for now.     With an average retail of 10k-14k plus in unrestored condition you can bid with confidence that you can't lose money on this beauty.   

Real Mans Truck all the way.     Air conditioning- Rotate front triangular windows inward;)

How Ford's light lab keeps the sun shining on the new Mustang just right [w/video]

Thu, 02 Jan 2014

Anyone who's bought one of those old school metal shift knobs knows they're really cool until they sit in a parking lot in the sun for a few hours. Then they're not cool at all. Likewise, features such as the aluminum dash on the 2015 Ford Mustang can be all kinds of neat right up until the sun hits it just the right way and sends shards of blinding light through the cabin. The Ford Visual Performance and Evaluation Lab is where engineers figure out how to make sure that doesn't happen.
Cars like said Mustang are parked inside the 30-foot reflecting dome under 6,000 watts of lights that can mimic the sun at any time of day and in any weather condition. Engineers can then spend cold, overcast days inside, testing for interior legibility, glare and reflections on every interior and exterior surface as if it were bright and sunny. They can also learn how a car's sheetmetal and colors will look out of doors, all year round.
Ford showed off the lighting lab without the music and interviews three years ago when the Explorer was being prepared. You can watch it at work again in the video below, and read about it in the press release below that.

Toyota sells six of 10 of hybrids in California

Wed, 31 Jul 2013

In an apparent shot back at Ford's increasing market share of electrified vehicles and claim that it accepts more Prius trade-ins for its own hybrids than any other car, Toyota has flexed a muscle and played the numbers game to put the Blue Oval in its place.
Leaning on its hybrid market dominance in California, the Japanese automaker stated that six out of 10 hybrids sold in the Golden State are Toyota models. And it keeps coming: Year-to-date through May 2013, Toyota sold five times more hybrids than Ford. One of every two hybrids in California is a Prius model. In addition, Toyota notes that it has sold 1.5 million Prius vehicles in the US, 90-percent of which are still on the road today.

2015 Ford Mustang Convertible ships in time for holiday gift giving

Wed, Dec 10 2014

Looking for the ultimate present to put under the tree for that special someone? Well it might not fit in your living room or in a stocking, but the keys to a new Mustang convertible ought to do the trick. That's right, Ford has begun shipping the new drop-top pony car just in time for the holidays. Taking delivery of a convertible might not make the most sense in some climates, but those in southern states will undoubtedly enjoy the top-down experience to ring in the new year. And for those stuck in snowier climes, Ford is keen to point out that the new Mustang convertible is available with features like heated seats, remote start and a snow/wet setting among the selectable drive modes. As with the coupe, the new Mustang convertible can be had with the base 3.7-liter V6, the optional 2.3-liter EcoBoost turbo four or the top-of-the-line 5.0-liter V8. For the time being, though, the 500+ horsepower Shelby GT350 is available only in coupe form.

"Cold weather may have come unseasonably early this year, but with available heated seats, remote start and selectable drive modes with a snow/wet setting, Mustang is the perfect offering for the season," said Melanie Banker, Mustang brand manager. Heated seats, standard on all premium Mustang convertibles, allow the driver and front passenger to stay warm even when the temperature drops. "While these seats also have a cooling feature, we suspect customers won't be using this function for a few more months," said Banker. Remote start, standard on all automatic-transmission Mustang models, allows customers to fire up their drop-top from the comfort of their home, even in inclement weather conditions. When remote start is used, Mustang not only warms up its engine, it also warms the interior of the car to a comfortable temperature.
