Up for auction is a very very nice 1969 Ford f100 shortbed.  I have owned this truck for eight years and was my daily driver for six of them.  About two years ago I decided to strip it and repaint it with the intent of keeping the truck.  It sat in the garage in pieces for months because I ran out of time to work on it.  I don't have the room for the truck so I have to sell it now that I have finally put it all back together.  This truck has a ton of new parts....I'll try to list all of them at the end.  It has a great running 302 V8, a rebuilt C4 automatic with a B&M shift kit, and the factory locking rear end.  This truck runs and drives great!  Power steering works very well, the engine is a little cold-natured but runs very strong and the transmission shifts like a champ. The body is very solid, and the interior is very nice. Truck still has the original dash pad that's still soft and crack-free.  While not a perfect truck, this is a great driver that is extremely presentable at a show.  I stripped this truck down to the point it was just a cab and rolling chassis, repainted it Wimbledon white using Urethane Enamel, replaced all the rubber, and reassembled the truck. This truck has dual exhaust with glass packs and sounds very good.  Carburetor is rebuilt and is the factory Autolite 2 bbl.  List of new parts is as follows:


blower motor for the heat
heater core
heater control valve
heater hoses
radiator hoses and bypass hose
oil pump and pickup screen
engine gaskets
remachined heads with new valves, guides, seats and springs
valve lifters and pushrods
timing cover
crane cams double roller timing chain and gear set
temperature sender
oil pressure sender
power steering hoses
fuel lines
fuel pump
water pump
cooling fan (aftermarket stainless)
thermostat and housing
vacuum lines
distributor
spark plugs and wires
alternator
voltage regulator
starter
starter solenoid
exhaust gaskets and head pipe donuts
exhaust hangers
air cleaner assembly
factory Ford PCV hose and PCV valve
radius arm bushings
coil springs
front and rear shocks
Bendix front brake drums
brake shoes, hardware and hoses
wheel cylinders for the brakes
brake master cylinder
steering column coupler (rag joint between column and box)
steering column bearings
turn signal switch
wiper switch with delay wiper unit installed
fuel level sending unit
windshield gasket 
windshield
rear window glass gasket
door weatherstrips
firewall pad updated to molded ABS plastic style with additional insulation
carpet
cloth and vinyl seat upholstery
door panels
armrests
glove box liner
glove box "Ranger" emblem
instrument cluster bezel and lens
dome light lens and door pin switches
exterior door handles and mounting pads
front and rear bumpers 
parking lamp lenses front and rear
sylvania silverstar headlamps
transmission modulator valve
motor and transmission mounts
u joints

I'm sure there are a couple things I have replaced that I am forgetting to mention.  As I was driving this truck and for the time it was off the road I had been amassing parts for it so putting it back together was almost like being on the assembly line when it was built.  This truck will make someone a really nice ride to enjoy and show off. It is titled in my name in the state of North Carolina, so no paperwork worries! Any questions please message me and I will respond promptly. This truck is for sale locally so I reserve the right to end auction early.  Buyer is responsible for pick up or transportation arrangements.

Junkyard Gem: 1991 Mercury Capri

Mon, Sep 19 2016

Ford has gotten a lot of use out of the Capri name in the United States. First, there was the Lincoln Capri in the 1950s, followed by the Ford Capri Mk1 (which was sold by Mercury dealers in the USA but never actually badged as a Mercury). Then came the 1979-1986 Mercury Capri, built on the very successful Fox Platform and essentially a clone of the Mustang. Finally, in 1991, the Australian Ford Capri came to the United States. Here is an example of this rare car that I spotted in a Northern California self-service yard not long ago. Mechanically speaking, the 1991-1994 Capri was a Mazda 323 under the skin, complete with a member of the same B-series engine family that went into such cars as the Miata and Ford Escort. So, for a few years in the early 1990s, car shoppers who wanted a sporty Mazda convertible could choose between a Miata and a Capri. The Capri had front-wheel-drive, but could be had with factory turbocharging. These cars were reliable and fun, but had a tough time competing with the Miata in the showroom battles. You'll see the occasional example now and then, but most of the 1991-1994 Capris have met the same fate that awaits this one. Related Video:

10 automakers sued over keyless ignitions

Thu, Aug 27 2015

Keyless ignition has rapidly proliferated throughout the auto industry to become a fairly normal feature on new cars. It's supposed to offer the convenience of keeping the fob in your pocket and just pressing a button to drive away. However, ten major automakers are now being sued in US District Court over claims that the system is dangerous, Reuters reports. The suit alleges that people are forgetting to shut off the engine, and the lack of an idle timer is the cause for 13 deaths by carbon monoxide poisoning and multiple injuries. The suit currently includes 28 plaintiffs, according to Reuters, but the lawyers are asking for class-action status to potentially add many more. The case goes after a major swath of the industry, including BMW, Daimler, FCA, Ford, General Motors, Honda, Hyundai, Nissan, Toyota, and Volkswagen, plus their related brands like Acura, Infiniti, Mini, and Lexus. In all, over five million vehicles are affected. The assertion here is that people walk away from their vehicle without shutting it off because they believe the engine shuts off automatically. If parked in a garage, carbon monoxide can build up, leading to poisoning. The lawyers claim automakers know this is a problem and also cite 27 complaints to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration about the issue, according to Reuters. The plaintiffs are asking for an automatic shut-off and damages from the companies. These concerns have come up before, though. Toyota previously faced a lawsuit over a carbon monoxide death after a woman accidentally left her Lexus running. Also earlier this year, GM recalled 64,186 examples of the 2011-2013 Chevrolet Volt because owners weren't shutting them off. The problem resulted in two injuries, and the company released a software update to limit the idling time.

Ford hiring 2,200 salaried US workers this year

Fri, 11 Jan 2013

With its influx of popular new products made in the US, Ford Motor Company has announced that it intends to hire 2,200 new salaried workers domestically this year. This is the biggest increase of salaried workers for Ford in the last 10 years, and it is all a part of Ford's contract commitment to the United Auto Workers union to bring 12,000 new jobs to the US by 2015.
There were no specifics as to where in the US these job openings will be, but Ford did reiterate that it will be spending $773 million on equipment upgrades and capacity expansion at six plants located in southeast Michigan; as a whole, Ford is investing a total of $6.2 billion to its US assembly plants over the next couple years. According to recently appointed president of the Americas Joe Hinrichs, the new jobs will be focused on areas such as engineering, manufacturing and computer software. Ford will post its job openings online at careers.ford.com, and it will also use social media sites like Facebook and Twitter to recruit new workers, including military veterans.
