1965 Custom Cab Twin I Beam Truck on 2040-cars
Concord, California, United States
|
I purchased this truck off ebay a little over a year ago and have done nothing but drive it and collect stuff to make it better. Its a California made truck, off the assembly line in San Jose, Ca. Someone has added a nice 1968 351 Cleveland and 2 speed automatic transmission (on the floor) from a mustang. I haven't touched it except to add a new battery and alternator. It runs good, I run around town with it on weekends, takes a couple of cranks to start but once started it runs smooth and doesn't smoke. It steers good, has power steering and power brakes, brakes good. This is the custom cab version with inset dash gauges, side tool box, etc. I was going to buy a harness for engine and redo it since it was originally a 6 cyl 6 volt system I'm guessing. The truck has an electric fan for radiator, I am including a brand new electric fan with truck, I found that the fan that's on it is back wards and pushes air forward, my plan was to install new fan with new radiator, or basically what I'm saying this truck is totally worth fixing up. It appears that the original color was red. here's what I purchased that will go with it: original 1965 mechanic manual (thick), spare battery (new), original in the box front grill with no damage (there are no after market grills for 65 ford only 1966 ford, production stopped in sept 1965 and the converted to 66 grills), new front bumper and all mounting hardware, new FORD emblems for just above grill, new hood ornament, original blinker lenses and bezels, new head lights and bezels, new door panels (black), new arm rests (black), the kick panels have speakers in them so I go two original panels that need to be painted and installed. There are many other items stored away in my garage, everything for it will be yours. Dual Exhaust appears to be new. This truck is fully registered and insured to me, pink slip in hand, with my name on it. There will be no issues with sell. The guy I bought it from wasn't so honest about that! he also took the gas pedal and put stock one back on, so the one pictured (foot) isn't there. This engine has a very very small leak somewhere, never looked but its barely left a stain in my driveway. I have driven it from san leandro to concord many times to work and bought it in tracey ca, drove it home without issue. I'm getting married and need money to pay for it. I don't want lookie lou's, if your not serious buyer please don't contact me. |

Ford recalling select Taurus, Explorer and Lincoln MKS models over fuel tanks
Sun, 31 Mar 2013Ford is recalling certain 2012 Taurus, 2013 Explorer and 2012 Lincoln MKS models over fuel tank concerns. According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, vehicles built between July 19, 2011 and March 15, 2012 may have been built with fuel tanks that have a "marginally sealed seam" on the side. Those seams may not provide the strength necessary to protect the tank from rupture during a collision. They may also leak. The recall covers a total of 3,037 vehicles. NHTSA says that leaked fuel, in the presence of an ignition source, could easily cause a fire.
Dealers will inspect the tanks and replace them as need be free of charge. Owners can expect to be notified once the campaign begins on or around April 22, 2013. You can read the full NHTSA recall notice below for more information.
40+ cars that barely avoid the gas guzzler tax
Thu, 24 Jul 2014
The Gas Guzzler schedule, with mpg ratings and charges that haven't changed since 1991, lays out which fuel-swillers owe what to Uncle Sam.
I started thinking about the "Gas Guzzler Tax" - considerably less well known as The Energy Tax Act of 1978 - when I was driving Dodge's new Challenger SRT Hellcat last week. Unsurprisingly for a car that can burn 1.5 gallons of gas per minute at max tilt, theoretically able to empty a full tank of premium in about 13 minutes, the Hellcat will be subject to the Gas Guzzler Tax schedule when it goes on sale.
Car and Driver lists 10Best for 2013, same as it ever was
Wed, 05 Dec 2012Forgive us for having the distinct feeling of déjà vu, but it certainly feels like we've been here before. By that we are referring Car and Driver and the announcement of its annual 10Best vehicles for 2013. To be sure, it's an impressive selection of cars that combine heart-pounding performance and frugal sensibilities, but it also represents something of a broken record on the part of C/D. We're not so sure that's a flaw, though, as the resulting list is tough to argue with.
Vehicles like the Ford Mustang, Porsche Boxster, and BMW 3 Series have maintained their high-horsepower spots on this list for several years now. Even on the more practical and nimble end, the Honda Accord, Honda Fit and Mazda Miata have not budged. These continued spots are even in light of redesigns for some vehicles such as the Accord, Boxster and 3 Series.
In fact, the only newcomer to the 10Best list this year are the Scion FR-S/Subaru BRZ twins, which knocked out the Cadillac CTS-V. We think it would have been a huge misstep to have excluded the FR-S/BRZ, even in light of the supercharged Caddy's lamentable departure from 10Best.
