1966 Ford F-100 Short Bed Pickup (390 Ci V8) on 2040-cars
Eden, Utah, United States
|
1966 Ford F-100 Short Bed with 390 cubic V8 the original manual floor shift. I have a clear title in my name. This is a running, driving, Short Bed Ford Pickup that runs good, shifts smoothly, and stops good. The engine sounds good and has good oil pressure. Please look closely at all of the photos. I have super-sized the photos to assist in evaluating my truck's condition. I want the new owner to know exactly what they are getting. If you have any questions, please give me a call. My home phone, which is still attached to my kitchen wall, is (801) 745-0599. The reserve is substantially less than the truck's value. I'm restoring a 1959 Thunderbird and I need the funds for this project. The original owner told me that the 390V8 engine was the original engine in the truck. The VIN number indicates that it was a V8, but doesn't specify if it was originally a 390. From my research, I found that in late 1966 Ford started using 390 V8s in these trucks, but I'm not sure if the engine is "number matching." In either case, it is a good running 390 that sounds and runs good. There are after-market gauges that work properly attached to the dash under the radio. It has an aftermarket JVC stereo with all of the paper work in the glove box. It has almost new tires. It comes with a spare chrome front bumper, a spare passenger's side fender, extra headlight bezels, and a period correct automatic transmission. Please look at the photos of the spare parts. Everything shown in the photos comes with the truck.
It is a good, 48 year old, truck, but it does have some issues. With this in mind, I will list in detail the negative aspects of my truck. 1. There is rust in the floors. The body and frame are in good shape, but the floors need work. I have been driving it as it is, but I would recommend correcting the floors. 2. There is a rust spot on the front of the hood. Again, please look closely at the photos. 3. The interior is in useable condition, but needs a good cleaning. Under the current seat covers are the original seat covers that are in useable condition. The headliner is in place, but also needs a good cleaning. 3. There are a couple of small dents in the front passenger's side fender. I have collected spare parts for the truck and there is a solid passenger's side fender that comes with it. A $500.00 PayPal deposit is required within 24 hours of the auction closing. If you don't have a PayPal account, please give me a call to work out arrangements. If you have less than 5 positive feedbacks in your Ebay feedback score please email me or give me a call. My phone number is listed above. I want this to be a good, straightforward, auction. Please check my ebay feedback. I highly value by reputation on Ebay and, as I mentioned, I want the new owner to be satisfied with my truck. On Jan-22-14 at 12:26:34 PST, seller added the following information: In response to a question from an Ebay member, Yes, this truck can be driven anywhere. It has a new battery, new, professionally installed, dual exhaust pipes and mufflers, as well as almost new tires. |

2014 Ford Fiesta 1.0L EcoBoost
Fri, 09 May 2014I'll be honest; when Ford first unveiled its 3.5-liter EcoBoost V6, I was skeptical. Past attempts at building turbocharged American cars were almost universally awful, I reasoned, so why would Ford's latest effort be any different? This may seem foolish today, considering the success that the growing EcoBoost range has achieved - particularly the 2.0-liter and 1.6-liter mills. Yet I once again found myself questioning Ford.
It's the makeup of the 1.0-liter, turbocharged three-cylinder slotted into the compact engine bay of this Fiesta that has a way of breeding doubt. Three-cylinder engines remain an extreme rarity in the US. What's more, they earned a less-than-desirable reputation for applications in the 1980s and 1990s, and my trepidation about this latest three-pot as a result.
As I found out, though, history is a poor informant of modern technology. The thrust available in other cars with the EcoBoost badge on the back has not gone missing here; something the International Engine of the Year committee has lauded. That august body named the 1.0-liter Ecoboost the best engine of 2012 and 2013. After a week of driving, it didn't take long for my fear of threes to get turned into something like that line of thinking.
Ford recalling 370,000 Crown Vic, Grand Marquis and Town Car models
Fri, 30 Aug 2013The Detroit News is reporting that Ford will recall some 370,000 Crown Victoria (pictured), Mercury Grand Marquis and Lincoln Town Car vehicles from model years 2005 through 2011, for an issue regarding the lower intermediate steering shaft. 355,000 of the vehicles in question were sold in the US, with the other 15,000 sold in Canada.
The report indicates that corrosion of the lower intermediate steering shaft could cause a "loss of steering," presumably because of a partial or complete failure of the part. The report points out the dealers will inspect and replace the offending steering component for recalled cars, and may also secure a lower steering column bearing and replace the upper intermediate steering shaft as needed. The company is unaware of any reports of the faulty part causing any accidents or injuries.
Ford helpfully lists states in which corrosion is more likely to have taken place, mostly in the Snow Belt, as you might guess. Connecticut, Delaware, Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Kentucky, Maine, Maryland, Massachusetts, Michigan, Minnesota, Missouri, New Hampshire, New Jersey, New York, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, Vermont, Virginia, Wisconsin, West Virginia, and the District of Columbia are listed.
Ford Fusion demand outstripping supply
Sat, 15 Jun 2013The attractive new 2013 Ford Fusion has done wonders for the brand in the highly competitive midsize sedan segment - the vehicle is up nearly 22 percent compared to last year. But that sales momentum may soon hold steady due to low inventory levels of the new Fusion across the United States.
According to a report in The Detroit News, citing automotive data and Ward's Auto, Ford currently has a 39-day supply of the Fusion. That might sound fine, but a normally healthy average is about a 60-day supply. If Ford were to stop production on the Fusion today, there would only be enough vehicles available to get through another five weeks of sales, according to the News.
Currently, Ford produces the Fusion at its three-shift assembly plant in Hermosillo, Mexico, and will add production at its facility in Flat Rock, MI later this year. A Ford spokesperson told The Detroit News that when Flat Rock production comes online, the automaker will need to rush new stock out to the regions with the most demand for the Fusion. Ford has doubled its coastal retail market share, with huge amounts of growth in areas like Los Angeles, San Francisco and Miami, the News reports.
