FOR SALE: 1963 Ford Econoline Pickup

Rare & solid RUNNING and DRIVING truck
Was on Ebay twice previously but all mechanicals and some surface rust has been removed since then
The engine is a "65" Mustang "200"c with synchronized 3 spd. on column
The truck is now titled and insured in my name and is driven daily.
The odometer is reading 46,400 something now and is working but the calibration is slightly off because of different tires or different transmission.
The radiator has been recently recored.
The carburetor has been gone through, the clutch adjusted and the brakes are newer.
The truck runs & drives beautifully (SEE VIDEOS) and is getting 20+ miles per gallon.
The surface rust on the undercarriage has been rotary-brushed, primed, and painted.
The inside of the bed has also been cleaned and painted satin white.
There is one area inside the rear lower quarter that needs a patch, and the two corners inside the bed still need some minor attention.
There are two small holes in the drivers side wheel arch. All are very minor and should not require a lot of work.
There is one small hole in passenger side floor pan, very minor.
There are some lumps and bumps in the rear lower drivers side quarter and also on the tailgate but this truck is extremely solid.
All glass is good. Lights, wipers, turn signals, brake lights, & even the 4-way flashers all work.
The heater hoses are not hooked up but all ducting is there and fan blows.
The truck is currently running off a stainless fuel cell but the original tank is in place w/condition unknown.
The truck also comes with engine mount crossmember and shortened driveshaft for V-8 conversion.
I know you have heard this before but if the truck doesn't sell this time, I am going to finish it and make it my own.
The truck is currently at our camper in Shelbyville, IL but I am from Oak Forest, IL (Chicago area). I can deliver anywhere in between these 2 places if paid in full ahead of delivery.
PLEASE CALL WITH QUESTIONS BEFORE BIDDING: Jim 773-615-4790
A non-refundable deposit of $1000 is due within 72 hrs. of end of the auction before the truck goes anywhere.

Ford recalls 1.9m cars and crossovers for defective airbags

Wed, Jun 1 2016

The Basics: Ford is recalling a total of 1,898,728 vehicles to replace defective Takata front passenger-side airbags. This includes the 2007-2010 Ford Edge, 2006-2011 Ford Fusion, 2005-2011 Ford Mustang, 2007-2011 Ford Ranger, 2007-2010 Lincoln MKX and 2006-2011 Lincoln MKZ, Zephyr and Mercury Milan vehicles built in North America. The Problem: The defective airbags have been linked to ruptures that can send metal fragments at the passenger, due to deteriorating propellant. Injuries/Deaths: Ford claims it's not aware of any injuries due to the problem, but rupturing Takata airbags have been linked to a series of serious injuries and deaths. The Fix: Dealers will replace the passenger-side frontal airbag at no charge to the customer. If you own one: Look out for a letter from the manufacturer to arrange service at your local dealer. If you'd like to check if your vehicle is affected, click on the safety recalls link on Ford.com and enter your VIN. Related Video:

Autocar pits Formula Ford against Germany's finest

Wed, 25 Sep 2013

Ford has quite the racing pedigree, but usually, its racers are relegated to the track. Not the new Formula Ford EcoBoost, though. It's a turbocharged, open-wheeled racer complete with a 200-horsepower, 1.0-liter, three-cylinder engine... and it's legal on the roads of the UK.
That's stressed in this video from Autocar, with the mag going so far as to show the car's tax disc and license plates. Being a road-legal offering, it's tempting to see just how well an open-wheeler that delivers racecar-like performance while also netting over 100 miles per gallon (assume this is on the British cycle, for obvious reasons) stacks up against modern performance cars.
Autocar lined up the Formula Ford against an Audi R8 V10, a BMW M6 Gran Coupe and a Mercedes-Benz A45 AMG in a number of situations to see which would come out on top. Take a look below for the full video.

Detroit 3 small cars lay an egg in latest Consumer Reports reliability study

Tue, 28 Oct 2014

Consumer Reports has released its Annual Auto Reliability Survey and the results are, in a word, interesting. While we already covered the score-damaging effects of infotainment systems, there's another big angle to the data that's getting some attention - the utterly dismal scores of the Detroit Three's small car offerings.
The turbocharged Dodge Dart and Chevrolet Cruze, as well as the Ford Fiesta were their respective brands' lowest-scoring models, a stat that's made worse by the fact that the American automakers finished 25th, 21st and 23rd, respectively.
That's not acceptable for The Detroit Free Press' auto critic, Mark Phelan, who has penned a scathing critique of the D3's small car reliability scores, arguing that GM, Ford and Chrysler are "out of excuses."
