1966 Ford F100 Custom Cab Swb Bbg V8 Automatic on 2040-cars
Wichita Falls, Texas, United States
Vehicle Title:Clear
Make: Ford
Drive Type: rear
Model: F-100
Mileage: 84,928
Trim: Custom Cab
I am thinning out my collection, so here is my 1966 F100 Custom Cab up for sale. I purchased from an older couple who had owned it since 2001. It had sat in and out of a barn since then. There were shades on the windows to protect from the sun which worked awesome. The interior is great on this thing! The original 352 has a little less than 85000 miles and runs great. There is also a transmission cooler mounted in front of the radiator. All fluids just changed, new plugs just put in, and new exhaust manifold gaskets come with the truck for the future. The original automatic shifts good, the brakes need new shoes as they are worn pretty low though and are starting to grab. The truck fires right up every time, I would say the carb needs cleaned since it has been sitting a while. I just drove it today around the neighborhood with the choke out about half way out and it ran perfect! I just replaced all 4 tires with brand new Cooper tires from Discount Tire yesterday. I have the receipt and the warranty will carry over. Tires are 235/60 front and 275/60 rear. This cost me $565 for the set. The only thing I would say that this truck needs to look even better is a buffing and some brake work. Then you will be set. The windows are all great and the ride inside is super quite, the doors shut perfect.
Please email me with questions,
Clear Texas Title.

Ford Escort is ready to focus on the Chinese market
Mon, 21 Apr 2014Ford officially revived the Escort name in China, showing of the new, four-door compact at the Beijing Motor Show. Painted in a stylish brown-bronze, the new sedan wears a number of global Ford styling cues while sharing its platform with the Ford Focus.
Power for the new model comes from a 1.5-liter four-cylinder, although Ford doesn't specify just how much power is on offer, simply saying that the fuel economy of the new mill will be "outstanding." It's unclear what transmission will be distributing the engine's power, although based on the images we've seen, the Escort will definitely offer a two-pedal setup.
The layout of the cabin is fairly clean, although as we mentioned in our initial post on the new Escort, it's a decidedly sparser environment than we've grown use to in US-spec Fords of late. If anything, it's like a weird blend of current Ford switchgear with an overall look that reminds us of older Ford layouts. Still, it looks like a comfortable way of moving five people about without too much fuss. There's ample space both front and rear, and a rather spacious trunk.
EU formally questions French government assistance of Peugeot's finance arm
Fri, 28 Dec 2012Recently, the finance arm of PSA/Peugeot-Citroën was in such debt trouble that it was pricing itself out of the car loan market. The rates it was paying to service its debt, which was rated one step above junk, were so high that it was forced to charge car-buying customers higher rates than they could find elsewhere. This was adding to Peugeot's already impressive woes by sending revenue out the door to competitors.
Two months ago a deal was worked out with the French government whereby the state would provide 7 billion euro ($9 billion USD) in bonds to guarantee the finance arm's loans. The French government could nominate someone to join the Peugeot board, Peugeot would guarantee more French jobs, and on top of that deal, other banks would provide non-guaranteed loans. The government would take no equity stake in the car company.
Although not yet finalized, the arrangement is meant to create some breathing room for Peugeot Finance to lower its interest rates for customers, and a government-nominated board member, Louis Gallois, was recently named to Peugeot's supervisory board. The arrangement was also openly questioned by at least three competitors: Ford, Renault - which is 15-percent owned by the French government after it received state aid - and the German state of Lower Saxony, itself a 15-percent shareholder in Volkswagen.
2016 Ford Taurus to ride atop reworked Fusion platform
Wed, 19 Mar 2014Generally, cars get bigger and heavier as they get older. That's why it looks so ridiculous when you park a classic Mini next to a modern version. The same can be said of the Corvette, the BMW 3 Series, Porsche 911 and, of course, the Ford Taurus. In the Taurus' case, though, that size has become a liability, particularly because the big brute isn't nearly as sizable on the inside as it is on the out.
For 2016, Ford is aiming to rectify that. According to Edmunds, the 2016 Taurus will ride on a stretched and widened Ford Fusion platform. Ford is expecting this move to go a long way in trimming the Taurus' ample body fat.
"The problem with today's Taurus is that it is overweight and even the high performance SHO is not really competitive," said a source that spoke to Edmunds on condition of anonymity. The 365-horsepower SHO variant, "actually weighs about as much as the stretched Audi A8 L. Of course, Audi uses an extensive amount of aluminum, but it is a much bigger car."
