1968 Ford F-100
240 inline 6 cylinder, 3 speed on the column. Short bed truck. Engine does turn over with starter, haven't gone any further yet trying to start it. Its pretty much all there, doesn't look like it has been hacked up or modified in any way. Odometer shows 38689 miles and it appears that may be actual mileage, I have no way of knowing for sure. It had been parked since 1995 based on the inspection and tags. Floor pans have some rust, front of hood, right side fender support and battery tray area all have rust. RF fender is pulled out, got caught on a tree while pulling it out. Bed is in pretty good shape, no holes rusted thru on the floor. The top of the cab has a hole drilled in it for some reason, about an inch or so. The paint looks original w/ some body work being done at some point with primer spots. The patina on this truck is unbelievable, only time can make them look this way. Truck was on its way to the scrap yard, but I found out about it before hand and saved it. I already have a couple of these trucks and don't really need another, just thought i'd save it and pass it on to someone who does want it. Below is a link to many many more pics of the truck. You should be able to get a good idea what you're working with. I have a bench seat that goes with it as shown in pics. I removed it to clean it out and get better pics. Truck is for sale as is. You WILL need a trailer and winch to get it home. It would also help if you had a set of wheels, as the tires don't hold air. Please call or email with any questions. I am located in Conover, NC about an hour north of Charlotte. 704-451-6832 |

This unique '64 Mustang was Edsel Ford II's first car
Thu, 02 Jan 2014You probably had the same dream when you were a teenager. Your sixteenth birthday is coming up, or Christmas, or maybe both, and all you want is a muscle car to call your own. That dream has come true for some, and one of them was none other than Edsel Ford II.
Henry Ford's great grandson turned 16 on December 27, 1964 - two days after Christmas and eight months after the original Mustang went on sale. And that's just what was waiting for him in the driveway, courtesy of his father (and reigning chief executive) Henry Ford II.
The specially-prepared pony car had a pearlescent cream paintjob with narrow blue racing stripes, functional hood scoop, chrome trim, Euro-spec fender-mounted mirrors, a blue leather and aluminum interior, a monogrammed fuel cap... and a 289-cubic-inch V8 under the hood.
Would a Mustang-based Lincoln look like this?
Mon, 07 Jan 2013Designer Josiah LaCalla has taken a stab at what a Ford Mustang-based Lincoln model might look like with the Continental Mark X1 concept. Make no mistake, Ford's luxury arm has made it abundantly clear that it won't be pursuing any new products outside of volume models, which means a flashy halo grand tourer like the one you see here isn't in the cards. LaColla used the Mercedes-Benz SLS AMG as a basis for his creation, which explains the long nose, but we certainly don't mind the idea of a rear-wheel drive Lincoln with a cabin pushed to the aft.
While we're dreaming, there's certainly nothing stopping us from imagining what's under that lengthy hood. We like the idea of the 5.8-liter supercharged V8 from the Shelby GT500 pushing the Mark X1 down the road, but how about something a little more inventive? Something like a high-revving, buttery V12 with enough torque to push the contraption well past 200 miles per hour. Dream a little dream, people.
eBay Find of the Day: Mk1 Ford GT40 with interesting history
Sat, 03 May 2014You might expect a rare Ford GT40 to cross the block at some sort of prestigious auto auction from RM or Gooding, not show up on eBay for over $2 million. However, that's exactly what we have here. The seller claims the car is a late-build Mk1 GT40 from 1969, and it's currently owned by the director of the Hublot watch company in Switzerland.
According to the listing, GT40 #P1108 started life as Mk1 car that was built from factory spares in 1969 and was first sold in 1971. However, the auction is somewhat confusing. According to an image in its gallery, the vehicle was actually built from one of the seven spare Mk3 tubs when production of the iconic racers ended.
This GT40 was never built as a racecar - it lived on the streets its whole life. After assembly finished, it was sent to Germany and was eventually registered for the road. The first owner kept the car until 2005 and sold it with 7,300 miles on the odometer. The current owner bought it in 2012.
