I bought this truck from its home in Wyoming and had it shipped to Charleston, SC inside an enclosed trailer to take wedding pictures a few months ago. This is its the story from the previous owner in WY...
"In 1965 an Elderly gentleman in western Wyoming bought a brand new 1965 Ford 100 and he only used it to go fishing and he babied it until he passed away in the late 1970's his wife kept the truck and their son in law would take it out and drive it every time he came to visit which was 2-3 times a year, Until one time in the late 1980's when she said "why don't you just take that truck home with you" so he did and he too babied and cared for the truck until his children were starting to drive and couldn't wait to drive the Ford truck. Well he just couldn't see the kids using the truck and possibly maybe damaging it! So he said maybe I should find the Ford a new home? And that's what he did. This is where the story gets interesting......A Gentleman that is our close friend (small town) and also drives for our company time to time and use to be the director of the Chamber of Commerce bought the truck in 1993 from the son in law and was so proud of the truck! And why not at that time it had only 24,000 miles on it and was like new. He paraded around town it working for the Chamber and also took extremely great care of it as well until he retired in 2004 that's when he sold it to a Gentleman in Burley, Idaho for some reason he lost the truck to the Bank and that is where the owner now bought it and babied it as well to this date and even added a few extra's like a 4 barrel intake manifold and a 4 barrel carburetor, a spray in bed liner, higher gears in the rear axle for better highway travel. The Oil bath air cleaner original manifold and original gears go with the truck. So when the Gentleman brought us the truck to sell and our guy saw it and said "that's my old truck"!! Just goes to show us all how small the world really is."
Now it's time for the 5th owner to take over! This truck has been in western Wyoming and southern Idaho its entire life. It is a rust free Truck and drive and runs like new!
Power steering was added as well during its life. The odometer reads 48,212 but has stopped working about 4-5,000 miles ago. "Not documented but the owner claims about 52,000 miles on the truck"
I have kept the truck in the same condition and the truck remains perfect. For a vehicle almost 50 years old, I have been pleasantly surprised that it starts right up and runs like a "new" truck. The odometer is still stuck but I couldn't have put more than a few hundred miles in the past 6 months. The higher gears in the back end and power steering are a welcome update and the 352 V-8 has plenty of power for whatever you could need.
The original parts still come with the truck.
Highlights:
352 V-8
4-barrel Carb/Intake Manifold
Power steering
4-speed on the floor
"highway" gears
Spray in bedliner
Custom wood bed rails
Immaculate paint and body
This truck is ready to drive and takes unleaded 87 gas. Its a classic but is ready for modern driving.
This is a true gem with not even a hint of rust

Has the auto industry hit peak hybrid?
Thu, 12 Jun 2014Hybrids are known for their great fuel economy and low emissions, but it looks like given current market conditions, only about three percent of new car consumers are willing to pay the premium for them. A new study from IHS/Polk finds that the hybrid market share among overall US auto sales are falling, despite more models with the technology on sale than ever before.
The study examined new car registrations in March from 2009 through 2014. In that time, the auto industry grew from 24 to 47 hybrid models available to consumers, but market share for the powertrain remained almost stagnant in that time. As of 2009, hybrids held 2.4 percent of the market; it fell slightly to 2.3 percent in 2010 and grew to 3.3 percent in 2013. However, 2014 showed a drop back to 3 percent. Overall hybrid sales have been growing since 2010, but they just aren't keeping up with the total auto market.
According to IHS/Polk, this isn't what you would expect to see. Usually, each new model in the market brings along with it a boost in sales. The growth in hybrid models 2009 to 2014 should have shown a larger increase in share for the segment.
Chrysler called out over lackluster Ram Runner by racer who helped develop it
Fri, 11 Apr 2014Fans of off-roading and desert blasting might recall that Chrysler offers an aftermarket conversion that can turn a Ram 1500 into a road-legal desert racer, called the Ram Runner. The kit, sold through Mopar, includes some significant suspension upgrades, body tweaks and a brawnier cat-back exhaust for the truck's 5.7-liter V8.
Considering all of this, comparisons with the almighty Ford F-150 SVT Raptor are common. Among the off-road community, that makes these two a sort of Chevrolet Camaro and Ford Mustang for people that prefer driving on dirt. In the Race-Dezert forum, the discussion as to which truck was better was proceeding as normal - Ram fans said their piece and Ford fans said theirs. Then, a man named Kent Kroeker offered up his two cents.
See, Kroeker is a Baja racer, and the man that helped develop the Ram Runner. Despite his association with the truck, though, he had some less than kind words for Chrysler and the Ram Runner.
Ford recalling 65k Fusions from 2014 and 2015 because key can be removed
Tue, 18 Nov 2014Ford is recalling an estimated 64,869 examples of the 2014-2015 Fusion, Fusion Energi and Fusion Hybrid in North America because the key can be removed when the vehicle isn't in Park under certain conditions. Specifically, the campaign covers 56,479 units in the US, 6,048 in Canada and 2,342 in Mexico, according to the automaker's tally on November 11.
Ford says a programming problem in the instrument cluster means that the key can be removed 30 minutes after the ignition is turned off, even if the transmission is not in Park. The situation where this could happen seems quite limited, and the company is not aware of any accidents or injuries related to the issue. However, the fault puts the vehicle out of compliance with federal regulations covering theft protection and rollaways, and must be repaired.
The fix is easy: Ford will reprogram the instrument cluster at no cost to consumers. According to Ford spokesperson Kelli Felker in an email to Autoblog, "We will notify customers the week of January 5th." Scroll down to read Ford's announcement.
