1973 F-100 351m V8 Longbed Nice! Ford Bahama Blue on 2040-cars
Limestone, Tennessee, United States
|
Welcome to this auction for my 1973 Ford F-100! This truck is a real looker - it gets lots of comments and "thumbs up" from passer-by Ford Truck fans.
Along with its good looks, it also is an excellent driver. It has a 351M engine (not original) and an automatic transmission. It runs down the road nice, the engine stays cool and the transmission shifts strong. I recently drove it 500 miles pulling a car hauler (see last pic) and it did great! In fact, the only reason I'm selling the truck is because I bought a '66 Mustang Fastback GT - too many toys in the garage. I had the brakes completely gone over (new front calipers, new pads, new rear shoes, new brake hoses) just this past spring. The installed hitch was bought at U-haul. The radio works but there are currently no speakers, it had speakers that were sufaced mounted on the headliner (very 70's) and I removed the speakers and repaired the headliner. There are speaker slots that could be used in the original door panels. The fog lights on the front are currently not connected. No A/C, other than the installed rear opening window! Defroster and heat work excellent. The truck has been garaged and babied. It is an original Tennessee vehicle, and has been taken well care of. NO RUST. Please ask any questions before bidding. $500 via PayPal within 48 hrs of auction close, and the remainder due within 7 days. Buyer responsible for pickup and transportation, although I will help anyway I can with a car shipper pickup. |

Ford auctioning off F-35-themed 2015 Mustang for charity
Wed, 16 Jul 2014Ford's been a supporter of EAA AirVenture, a huge, annual air show held in Oshkosh, WI, for several years now, with one of its most notable contributions being a modified Ford Mustang, designed to look like one of America's great fighting aircraft. There was an SR-71 Mustang, based on the legendary spy plane, a Red Tails edition, which honored the ground-breaking Tuskegee Airmen of World War II, as well as Blue Angels and Thunderbird Mustangs, based on America's two great military aerial demonstration teams.
Each car is auctioned off, with all proceeds going to the EAA Young Eagles program, which introduces kids to the joy of flight. For the 2014 AirVenture, which runs from July 28 to August 3, the one-off pony car is based on the new-for-2015 Mustang, and America's latest fighting aircraft - the controversial F-35 Lightning II.
The unique Mustang sports titanium paint scheme, with both glossy and matte sections, as well as yellow-and-blue trim and decal elements inspired by CF-1, the first F-35 test plane. A carbon-fiber front splitter and rear diffuser add some visual eye candy, while the interior boasts a set of Recaro seats. Ford also opted to fit unique wheels and a brawnier rear spoiler, to tie everything together.
Reborn Ford Escort could make its way to Europe
Fri, 26 Apr 2013The Ford Escort concept just unveiled at the Shanghai Motor Show was created with the Chinese market in mind, but it's got people talking all over the world. Not purely fancy, the point of the Escort concept was to give Chinese buyers a preview of what they could expect to see in a Ford showroom in the near future. If Ford wasn't seriously considering the new Escort for other countries, a report in Auto Express indicates that the concept's reception has changed all that.
No less than the incoming chairman of Ford UK said "it could work in other places," bolstering the comments of "a senior Ford insider" who said the question of bringing the car to Europe to slot in underneath the Focus had been raised. That's a long way from anything of the kind happening, which would require Ford to figure out how to sell it for the right price and not torpedo the company reputation among Euro buyers. In any case, we'd be as intrigued as anyone if an Escort resurrection created the next 'who knew?' market segment of few-frills transportation offered by non-Asian carmakers.
2013 Ford Fusion Hybrid
Mon, 01 Apr 2013Your Mileage May Vary
As difficult as it is to write this, I was actually excited about the 2013 Ford Fusion Hybrid. With the beautiful looks of the newest midsize fighter from Ford and a fuel economy estimate capable of shaming even the stalwart Camry Hybrid, the battery-augmented four-door seemed like a recipe for unabashed success. But appearances love nothing more than swapping our boundless enthusiasm for cold platters of disappointment. The 2013 Fusion Hybrid gets hobbled right out of the gate with a lofty price tag, and real-world driving keeps the sedan from even approaching those EPA figures.
With so many excellent midsize hybrids on the market, is there any reason to consider the newest Fusion Hybrid? Are sharp aesthetics, a well-executed interior and capable driving dynamics enough to overcome the machine's shortfalls? Not from where I'm standing.
