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.

New Ford Police Interceptor tech protects cops' backsides
Mon, 22 Jul 2013It was only a matter of time before law enforcement agencies would realize the potential of driver-assist technology for use in their Ford Police Interceptors, and, now that they have, those back-up cameras and radar systems won't be used just for parking, but for security, as well.
The surveillance mode system works when the camera or radar detects movement from behind the vehicle, and if it does when it's activated, an alarm will alert the officer inside the car, the driver's side window will roll up and the doors will lock, protecting the officer from an unwanted intrusion. The officer, of course, has the option to turn surveillance mode off, mainly in urban areas where pedestrians would constantly set the alarm off, and it can only be activated when the police car is in park.
Randy Freiburger, Ford's police and ambulance fleet supervisor, came up with the patent-pending idea when researching the needs of police officers and riding along with them, during which time he realized officers would be safer with an extra set of eyes watching the area behind their cars, especially at night or when they're completing paperwork, using the in-car computer or handling a radar gun. "Unfortunately, there are people with bad intentions who sneak up on police officers," he says.

2015 Ford Mustang EcoBoost loses big power on 87 octane
Mon, Jan 5 2015The 2015 Ford Mustang with the 2.3-liter EcoBoost four-cylinder is a pretty potent package on paper. With 310 horsepower and 320 pound-feet of torque, it boasts better performance numbers than the 3.7-liter V6, but with better fuel economy as an added benefit. However, if you're in the market for one of these boosted 'Stangs, you should probably keep in mind that it really prefers to gulp premium, 93-octane fuel. It can drink 87-octane swill in a pinch, but you're going to find significantly less power underfoot when pulling away. While it's not shocking that the ponies are dialed back with a lower grade of gasoline, an alleged page from a Ford training manual obtained by Mustang 6G purports to show just how much power is lost, though. According to this document, the 2.3-liter EcoBoost makes 275 horsepower and 300 pound-feet of torque when running on lower octane fuel. That's a substantial reduction of about 11.3 percent compared to when the engine drinks 93 octane. Interestingly, according to Mustang 6G, that finding was a bit better than expected, because a Ford engineer reportedly said power would be down about 13 percent without altering peak torque. In speaking with Autoblog, Paul Seredynski of Ford powertrain communications, objected to part of this document. While he couldn't confirm the specific losses listed for the Mustang EcoBoost, "torque remains unchanged" with lower octane gasoline, Seredynski said. He speculated this training manual page was "possibly from before the engine was certified" and therefore showed incorrect figures. Serendynski did confirm that the automaker recommends using 93 octane, and like all modern engines, the software adapts if it's lower. "Peak power would be reduced" by using a lesser grade, he confirmed.
