1966 F100 - Clean Original Montana Survivor on 2040-cars
Belgrade, Montana, United States
|
1966 Ford F-100 Pickup V8, 4-Speed, Ford 9 Inch rear (3.25 gears) Odometer shows 85,200 miles; actual mileage unknown For sale is a clean, original, Ford pickup from dry, salt-free Montana. I bought this truck about a year ago and have spent that time fixing little things and using it for occasional times when I needed a pickup, usually on drives to Butte (140 miles round trip and over the Continental Divide) and it has never let me down - I have total confidence in the mechanical condition of this truck. The one time I filled it up to the brim and then again after that trip I got 16 MPG. This is a solid, clean, and very nice pickup. I will list everything I know about it, good and bad. THE GOOD: - Starts every time even in cold weather, runs very well - Solid tranny, clutch, rear end - both gear boxes topped off and no noise - Good brakes and tires - rears are new Michelins with hardly any wear (see photo), fronts are Dunlops w/ decent tread - New U-joints, Plugs, Wires/Cap/Rotor, Oil/Filter, Air Filter, Water Pump, Front Shocks - Starter/Alternator/Regulator/Solenoid/Battery Cables replaced before I bought it - Full gauges (w/ factory accessory Stewart Warner Amp/Oil gauges) - Tight front end, tracks straight down the road - Good heater/defrost, wipers, lights, horn all work - Always stays cool, never overheats, does 65 mph very comfortably and will go faster if you want - 3.25 gearset is a great all-around ratio - Bed floor ribs not smashed down - appears to have had a camper on it for most of its life - Repainted grill, wheels, and hubcaps in original color; body touched up in places with factory Sahara Beige before a two-stage compounding and wax job - Original seat has a new aftermarket cover; also new floormats THE REST: - Cracked windshield, broken middle section of headliner, cigar lighter/gas gauge/dome light/e-brake cable don’t work - Driver’s floor was rusted from water collecting under mat but I put in a repro patch panel (all sealed up and solid now) - Carb needs rebuilt/accelerator pump weak, but still perfectly drivable - RF wheel cylinder has a slow leak - Two-piece driveshaft vibrates at 35mph but vibration goes away below and above that - I replaced all 4 U-joints so it must be the center bearing (even swapped in a driveshaft out of another truck to verify that it wasn’t the tranny or rear end, and it’s not); I’ve never replaced one of those so I’m leaving that to the new owner - Leaks oil but I only today tightened up the loose gasket bolts on the valve covers and oil pan and it has already helped immensely; also added some oil leak stopper - Bed is surface-rusted from a load of dirt the previous owner left in the bed for a few months, and front top rail is dented (could be pulled out) - Minor rust in a few insolated places (see 2 photos for examples) but very minimal - NOT A RUST BUCKET - I want to make this very clear, rust is only in a few places such as where mud would gather and otherwise the body is very solid - Various scratches, paint defects, and minor dents on body - Driver's seat foam was ripped so I filled it before putting the new cover on - very comfortable OVERALL This is a very nice truck and gets lots of attention. It runs well and is very clean and dependable. It needs nothing immediately - you can drive it as-is and do more to it over time if you want. I think that if you put in a new windshield and a bedliner, it would really take it to the next level. This would also be a great restoration candidate. I have done my best to describe the truck honestly and in detail including the negative points, but still, I encourage and welcome all prospective bidders to see/drive the truck in person. This vehicle is sold “as-is” and “where-is” and absolutely no warrantees are made concerning it or its condition, either expressed or implied. Truck is located in Belgrade, Montana and buyer is responsible for all shipping arrangements and costs. I will be happy to assist in loading the truck if buyer sends a carrier. Clear title, ready to go. Cash in person talks. I will be happy to answer any questions. Check out my 100% Positive Feedback and bid with confidence - good luck! |

Shelby Cobra, Mercedes 300SL and 1947 Woodie from Petersen Museum headed to auction
Mon, 29 Jul 2013The changes happening at the Petersen Museum have been making the rounds in major press, but it probably won't be until August 18, during Pebble Beach, when we get the full story on what's happening; that's where and when museum reps plan on announcing the way forward for the SoCal institution. In the meantime, the museum is still reorganizing its collection, and that means auctioning some of its showpieces at this weekend's Auctions America event in Burbank.
Three of the stars are a 1964 Shelby Cobra 289, one of less than 20 produced with a three-speed C-4 automatic transmission, a 1960 Mercedes-Benz 300SL owned by actor Robert Stack and the last 1948 Ford Sportsman 'Woodie' ever produced. The Cobra, now restored to its original white exterior and red leather interior, was a factory demonstrator that first sold for $5,250. Showing just 38,950 miles on the odometer, its pre-sale estimate is $800,000 to $1 million.
The 300SL is actually a 1957 model but wasn't titled until Robert Stack took possession in 1960. The lead actor in the The Untouchables TV series used to drive by the Sunset Boulevard Mercedes dealership to ogle the car, but couldn't justify spending the money to buy it. When he and the producer of The Untouchables won Emmys for the show, the producer, who happened to be Desi Arnaz, bought the car for Stack. He owned it his whole life, it has been left as Stack drove it and still bears the California license plate "UNTCHBL."
First 1K next-gen Mustangs to carry 2014 1/2 model year?
Thu, 18 Jul 2013A new report from Mustangs Daily, citing insider sources at Ford, tells us that the Blue Oval will produce 1,000 next-generation Mustangs with the model year designation of 2014 ½, to celebrate the 50th anniversary of the storied marque. The commemorative half-year designation is a rumor that's been swirling in Mustang forums for quite some time now, and seems more plausible than ever with this most recent report. Certainly it's not far-fetched to believe that Ford will want to make a big deal of the golden anniversary for its most-loved model.
The story (compiled by Drew Phillips, who runs the aforementioned Mustang site when he's not directing the photography on these pages) goes on to say that the limited-run cars will be the first built on the new Mustang platform internally known as S550 (and spied testing in the attached gallery). Each car is said to carry a "special" VIN and build number, though no performance upgrades versus the 2015 cars to follow are in the works. A collector's dream then, rather than a weekend racer's.
2014 Ford Fiesta ST
Tue, 26 Mar 2013Concentrated ST Formula Proves Just As Potent
I'm not the jealous type... usually. But I will fully admit to being somewhat of a Pouty Polly when I read executive editor Chris Paukert's report after driving the then-new 2013 Ford Focus ST through the impossibly pretty southern French Alps region last June. I feel like a broken record saying this yet again, but hot hatchbacks hold a special place in my heart. And while I'm always giddy to drive any sort of small, turbocharged three- or five-door at home in Detroit, my jealousy was indeed piqued after hearing Paukert tell about the challenging yet breathtaking roads he encountered while driving the flamin' yellow Focus. You know, the sort of roads that, from above, look like carelessly drizzled lines of icing on the frosted Alpen caps.
Several months later, I found myself piloting a Focus ST just west of metro Detroit, pitting it head-to-head against one of Autoblog's perennial favorite cars, the Volkswagen GTI. It was fantastic - enough so that I fully stand behind my statement that in terms of balls-out performance, the Focus ST cannot be beat as far as today's front-wheel-drive hatches are concerned.
