1965 Ford Econoline Spring Special Pickup,super Rare Yellow Color,rebuilt Motor on 2040-cars
Lake Forest, California, United States
You are looking at a Super Rare 1965 Ford Econoline Spring Special Pickup Truck.I know people throw that term around a lot with these trucks and for good reason.Let us count the reasons:1. Ford Econoline (you don’t see a lot of them anymore)2. Pickup (you see even fewer of them)3. Spring Special (only 2000-2500 reportedly made from May 1 through July 20 of 1965) with the standard color being Special Poppy Red Paint4. This one was ordered with (# 8, Springtime Yellow Paint)Only four are known to exist.Got to think the original purchaser thought that through, Springtime Special with Springtime Yellow paint, yea!!Truck is a ways from being all that it should be, unfortunately, I have just run out of time to dedicate to it the love that it needs.Truck runs and drives, but has a charging issue, so NO it can not be driven across country, or up or down the coast. It will need to be trailer-ed.Body is in good condition with no “major” rust conditions as many of these trucks have. Has the usual surface on the floor boards, and in bed, absolutely no rust through anywhere (please see pictures).There are a few areas that were being worked on when I bought this beauty, using the old school, drill a hole dent puller. Those are on the front driver’s side nose, front passengers door and nose is a little wavy with some of those pulling holes (please see pictures).There are a few dings and dents, nicks and scrapes and occasional random hole here and there. Roof is dented and there is a decent dent under the rear window (please see pictures).Motor has been rebuilt; no I don’t have the paperwork to prove it unfortunately. It’s a 200, an upgrade from the original 170 as it has 5 freeze plugs on the side.Windshield wipers not shown, but will be included.Tailgate is in good condition, with the usual dings and dents for a nearly 50 year old tailgate, but the corners and bottom are good with no rust through. I do not have the hinges or prop rods for the tailgate unfortunately.Seats and dog house are not bolted in from when I was working on the charging issue.Back in the day the entire under carriage was sprayed with an under coating that is now flaking off leaving the under carriage almost like new. Every time I hit it with a pressure washer, a little more flakes off (please see pictures).Windshield is cracked (a new windshield will be included)Radio not installed, but will be included with purchase.Steering wheel could stand to be replaced.Front doors window weather stripping has been removed, (but a new kit will be included).No Spring Special Trim included, sorry. I know, that’s kind of a bummer.Please check out my other auctions as I have a variety of things up for sale, you just never know what you will come across. Please feel free to ask any questions you may have about this auction, as I will do my best to answer them. Payment will need to be CASH or Bank Cashiers Check, check must clear before you or your hauler can take possession of the truck. I’m sure I’ve missed something, so please do not hesitate to ask questions. I can tell you what ever you need to know.

We compare 2021 Ford Bronco and Bronco Sport specifications to their ritzy Land Rover competiton
Tue, Jul 14 2020The 2021 Bronco and Bronco Sport are the spearheads for Ford's new 4x4 sub-brand, with the former taking the fight directly to the Jeep Wrangler and the latter providing Ford with a more rugged alternative to the Escape. We've already looked at how the new Bronco and Bronco Sport compare to their mainstream competition, but we'd like to see how the Bronco stacks up to another hotly anticipated returning nameplate: the Land Rover Defender. Not to leave its little sibling in the cold, I decided to browse Land Rover's lineup and see what might be a suitable counterpoint to the Bronco Sport. For better or worse, I found an almost-perfect fit in the Range Rover Evoque. So, how do these new American 4x4s compare to the Old Country's more-expensive alternatives? Let's dig in, starting with the big boys. As you might expect from the Bronco's robust credentials, it holds its own here against the more-expensive Brit. The Defender's higher price point brings along a good bit of power advantage with both engines, but that's to be expected. The Defender also has that trick adjustable-height suspension that the Bronco lacks, giving it an edge in practicality, and it can also tow quite a bit more. On the flip side, there are quite a few advantages to going with the Ford, including a greater number of choices in terms of powertrain. The available manual transmission on four-cylinder Broncos is a nice bonus, for instance, as is the option of getting either the base 2.3-liter or the optional 2.7-liter engine with either wheelbase. The Defender is a bit more restrictive in this regard offering only the inline-six on the short-wheelbase model. As an added bonus, the Bronco is a convertible. That may not necessarily be a "plus" for all shoppers, but it's certainly an added bit of versatility (and potential appeal) the Defender lacks. And of course, the Bronco can be had for as little as $30,000, whereas the Land Rover starts at $50,000. Now, on to the less-rugged siblings. The specs here are actually a little tighter in most respects, but the powertrain story is almost identical. The Evoque checks in where the Bronco Sport tops out, and the Range Rover gets an optional high-output variant of the 2.0-liter turbocharged four.

Ford pulling out of V8 Supercars after 2015
Tue, Dec 2 2014Australian racing fans are staring down the end of an era as news breaks that Ford will no longer participate in the V8 Supercars series. Although the official announcement has yet to be made, the decision – as reported widely in the automotive press Down Under and in global motorsport publications – indicates that the Blue Oval automaker has already confirmed its intentions to its shareholders early on Monday to shut down its factory effort in the popular tin-top series at the end of next season. The move will mark the end of an era for what has become the International V8 Supercars Championship. Alongside GM's Holden division, Ford was one of only two manufacturers competing in the series from its inception in the late 1990s through last year when a change in regulations opened the door for entries from Nissan, Volvo and Mercedes. Further rule changes are expected to attract even more manufacturers to the series, with Lexus said to be first among them. Over the past eighteen seasons, the V8 Supercars Championship has been won in a Holden Commodore fourteen times, leaving Ford to win the title only four times with successive versions of the Falcon. Eleven of the cars on the grid this season were Commodores, compared to only seven Ford Falcons between two teams that will need to switch to another manufacturer for the season after next – although some could opt to stick with their Fords for one more season, even without factory support, until the open 2016 regulations take effect. The decision follows Ford's announcement last year that it will cease manufacturing in Australia by 2016, ending a 90-year presence Down Under that stretches back to 1925. Blue Oval models like the Falcon, previously unique to the Aussie market, are being replaced by imported models like the Mondeo and Mustang.
