Up for Sale with NO RESERVE is a beautiful 1964 Ford F100
It does hold a SALVAGE TITLE from an accident with a horse the got out of its pen. The glass was replaced, as well as some body work on the hood.
This truck looks like the 1966 F100 with the aluminum grille. I have the original 1964 grille, painted the same color as the truck if you want it. I also have the original bench seat if you want that also.
This truck is a fun truck to drive, and it had been a daily driver recently. It always gets compliments, and I have enjoyed working on it. I am sad to see her go! She's almost ready for some car shows.
The Engine is a 1979 Firebird trans am 400 with an Edelbrock 4 barrel 750 carb. This truck is all 1979 Trans Am running gear.
The Engine runs well, with New spark plugs, new Cap and rotor, BIG radiator, 160 degree thermostat.
I am including a Cloyes Double-Roller Timing Set in the deal, as I wanted to do that next.
It has the front clip off the 1979 Trans Am welded on, and boxed. So you're getting power steering, power disc brakes, sway bars in front and back,and the perfectly shifting 3 speed automatic, mated to the 10 bolt rear end. The frame is C-notched in back and boxed there too.
I have installed new wheel bearings up front as well.
Bolt Pattern on the truck is 5x4.75 (GM Bolt Pattern)
The paint is a 7 out of 10, a nice 20 footer. There's work to be done on the interior still.
There's No carpet, or headliner. You finish to your liking :)
The heater works well, and has 2 Fan Speeds, the Gas gauge works, the only gauge that doesn't work is the amp meter. Believe me it's charging though.
The Battery in the Truck is an Autozone Duralast Gold, but it may be getting weak, as it's hard to fire up sometimes (Slow Cranking power)
The Seats are comfortable, but were temporary until I could find a better condition setup. There's some wear in the driver side bolster.
The Stereo is a nice Pioneer (Hidden in the Glovebox) matched up with Component speakers in molded, and painted kick panels, as well as 6x9's in the doors. There's an amplifier under the passenger seat with a built in Subwoofer, and it has bass controller and capacitor installed so this stereo sounds nice!
The truck drives pretty straight and comfortable for having such low suspension.
The Exhaust has side exiting tips on both sides, but the exhaust leaks in a few places, so it doesn't sound perfect. I would just replace the entire system myself, if I were keeping it.
The Headlights are slim H4 Headlights with HID Ballasts and bulbs that burn at 6000K. They're very modern looking and assist with night driving.
Currently, 4-7-13, the truck has expired registration, but I am going to pay the registration fees before the truck goes. It expired 3-1-13, so it's only a month late.
I am an honest person, who tried my best to disclose any and all information and problems about this Classic Truck.

Even Ford executives had issues with MyFord Touch
Fri, Oct 7 2016MyFord Touch is one of the auto industry's more controversial features. The media broadly panned the infotainment system developed with Microsoft for its slow responses and reliance on voice commands to navigate its deep menus. Oh, and Ford executives weren't big fans, either. Newly revealed court documents in a California class-action lawsuit demonstrate the level of venom Ford employees, both big and small, reserved for the Blue Oval's infotainment system. An error caused Bill Ford's navigation system to crash, leaving the family scion stuck on the side of the road in an unfamiliar area. The documents, unearthed by Forbes, detail current CEO Mark Fields' aggravations with MFT, too. A mechanic emailed an image of a cracked infotainment screen on an Edge to one of Ford's top Sync engineers, Kenneth Williams, suggesting "Mark Fields may have been a little aggravated with the system." But Ford and Fields' issues are nothing compared to the woes of the engineers that had to work on MFT. In a collection of emails obtained by Forbes, one engineer called the system "a polished turd," while another simply said, "These poor customers." And after one engineer suggested using a photo of Ford's Oakville Assembly Plant – home of the Edge, Flex, Lincoln MKX, and MKT production – as a background for the system, one of his coworkers said in an email that someone should instead Photoshop the image to read "abandon hope all ye who enter here," the Detroit News reports. Another summed up the problem, saying: "Ford's quality reputation is completely on the line ... another model year with the same crap is not acceptable." MyFord Touch almost single-handedly torpedoed Ford's reputation in widely reported quality metrics, including JD Power and Consumer Reports. Ford responded with a refreshed Sync3, a wildly improved rethink of its infotainment system that is far more responsive and easier to live with every day.

NHTSA advances investigation of Ford Crown Victoria headlights
Sat, Aug 15 2015The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration is opening a preliminary evaluation into reports of suddenly failing headlights on 517,945 examples of the 2003-2005 Ford Crown Victoria and Mercury Grand Marquis. The government started looking into this problem in April when the North Carolina Consumers Council filed a defect petition with the agency. Now, the inquiry has moved to the next step. According to NHTSA's documentation (as a PDF), it examined its own database and worked with Ford to come up with a total of 3,609 complaints of the front lighting control module suddenly failing. When this happens, drivers lose the low-beam headlights, but the high-beams can be used by holding the stalk. Sometimes turning the switch off and on fixes the issue. Additionally, there are 15 allegations of crashes, and one reported shoulder injury. NHTSA's preliminary evaluations "evaluate the scope, frequency, and consequence of the alleged defect" and don't necessarily lead to a recall. NHTSA looked into this problem once before in 2008 and 2009 and decided that a recall wasn't necessary. Ford also extended the warranty on the front lighting control module for these vehicles. INVESTIGATION Subject : Loss of headlights Date Investigation Opened: AUG 10, 2015 Date Investigation Closed: Open NHTSA Action Number: PE15028 Component(s): EXTERIOR LIGHTING All Products Associated with this Investigation Vehicle Make Model Model Year(s) FORD CROWN VICTORIA 2003-2005 MERCURY GRAND MARQUIS 2003-2005 Details Manufacturer: Ford Motor Company SUMMARY: After receiving a defect petition (DP15002) concerning the loss of headlights and other exterior lighting in model year (MY) 2003-2005 Ford Crown Victoria and Mercury Grand Marquis vehicles, the Office of Defects Investigation (ODI) analyzed Vehicle Owner Questionnaire (VOQ) complaints received from consumers and identified a total of 605 reports (for all submission dates) alleging headlight failure. The complaints indicate failures of both low beam headlights typically while driving, a defect condition that was evaluated under a prior ODI investigation (PE08066). Most consumer VOQs indicate that the headlights failed suddenly and without warning leaving the driver with no forward lighting, however some report the headlights flickered or dimmed prior to turning off. In some cases drivers were able to turn the headlights back on after a period of time while others reported the headlights would not come back on at all.
Woodward Dream Cruise Photo Gallery | Classics and American muscle
Sun, Aug 21 2022The 2022 running of the Woodward Dream Cruise just went down, and we were there from morning to evening drinking in the sweet sights and pre-emissions exhaust fumes. Yes, it’s a little smelly on Woodward Ave. this time of year. Just like always, the Dream Cruise invites all comers to cruise their machines on Woodward from Ferndale, MI to Pontiac, MI. Everybody is invited, but the original intent of the Dream Cruise was to highlight classic American muscle cars. YouÂ’ll see plenty of those in our mega gallery above, but weÂ’ve sprinkled it with a bunch of other vehicle types, such as modern muscle and other intriguing American vehicles. Similar to years past, though, sometimes the classics arenÂ’t the most entertaining thing to look at on Woodward. ThatÂ’s why weÂ’ll have other mega galleries coming soon, highlighting the weird cars and (great) dogs of the Cruise, all the imports and exotics you can imagine and a special one for all the trucks of Woodward — perhaps even more so than in years past, the truck population on Dream Cruise day was quite high. Click through above to see all the classics you wouldÂ’ve seen had you been roadside on the day of the cruise. And if you missed this yearÂ’s event, make sure you check out what happens next year. You wonÂ’t be alone, as itÂ’s estimated that over 1 million people attend the Dream Cruise to either watch from the side of the road or to sit in the most glorious traffic jam in the world.
