This is a very nice classic 1973 Ford F100 pickup. The truck has had one repaint about nine years ago in the original colors(sequioa brown and wimbleton white). It was originally from Arizona and never had any rust, so the body isn't all patched up with bondo. The paint and body on this truck are nearly perfect: no rust, dents, dings, scratches, paint chips, etc-even the bed floor is scratchless! The chrome trim is original for the truck, and is in excellent condition as well. The interior is in great shape. The dash is perfect-no cracks in the dashpad, etc. The seat has been reupholstered at some point-unfortunately the previous owner was a smoker so there are a couple of small cigarette burns on the seat. I don't smoke so it hasn't been smoked in since I've owned it. The headliner and door panels are in great shape. I replaced the carpeting after the truck was repainted,so it has new carpeting. It has AC which does work, but it needs to be recharged because it doesn't blow cold. It has an aftermarket cassette deck(knob-style, so the dash isn't all cut up) which plays fine. This truck is in very good condition mechanically. The previous owner had the engine and transmission rebuilt. It is a 390 V8 with automatic trans. The previous owner also had the brakes re-done. Since I've owned the truck I've replaced the power steering pump and lines, alternator, starter, battery, exhaust, and tires. The engine compartment has been cleaned up and detailed for car shows. The previous owner had the undercarriage undercoated, and I painted over that with por-15 rust resistant type paint, so the underside of the truck is in nice condition too. It has 2 fuel tanks but only the rear tank is functional, front tank would need a new sending unit-the previous owner told me that he never tried using the front tank and neither have I so it hasn't been used in quite some time. I have never had any major problems with this truck in the nine years that I've owned it. It had a little over 99000 miles when I bought it, and has around 103,000 now. It has always been garage kept since I've owned it, and only driven on sunny summer days. It has not seen rain or snow since the repaint. I predominantly use it for classic car shows, or an occaisional Sunday drive. If you are looking for a nice classic Ford truck to take to the car shows, this one would be perfect. It has been a consistent trophy winner at the shows that I've taken it to. The restoration on this truck is very nice, and much attention was paid to detail. It's almost like going back in time and finding one of these when it was nearly new. About the only bad thing that I can say about this truck is the gas mileage is horrible(7-8 mpg). I would really like to see this truck go to someone who's going to keep it as a collector's item and use it for shows, not someone looking for a daily driver. If there is anything specific on the truck that you would like to see that isn't shown in the pics, let me know. I would trust this truck to drive pretty much anywhere, but due to the poor gas mileage and the fact that it is a 40 year old vehicle that hasn't been driven on a regular basis in years, I'd strongly recommend having it shipped.

2015 Ford F-150 [w/videos]
Thu, 02 Oct 2014To learn more about the all-new 2015 F-150 and get an early read on its potential hero-or-zero status, we flew to the heart of full-size pickup truck country, San Antonio, TX, to spend a day driving, towing and playing in the mud with an assortment of Ford's innovative new trucks.
First, a caveat - while we feel we have a reasonably good handle on the new F-150 after attending this first-drive event, we are far from ready to pass definitive judgment on the success of this radically new rig. Our time in the various models was lamentably limited and we felt rushed. With so much at stake and with so much to talk about and experience, we had zero alone time with the vehicle - there were Ford folks shadowing us at every moment.
And we still don't know everything there is to know about the trucks, as Ford is withholding some of its most crucial numbers, including curb weight data and anticipated EPA fuel economy figures. We don't even have a firm on-sale date. All of this information is typically disclosed - or at least officially estimated - at the time of a new vehicle's first drive. This limits the scope of the judgments we feel comfortable making based on our first encounter.
Leno chooses his top 10 Mustangs
Sat, 14 Jun 2014He may be a few months late to the party, but in celebration of the 50th anniversary of the Ford Mustang, Jay Leno has delivered a short video in which he runs down which of the Blue Oval's pony cars from the past 50 years are his favorites.
The list is pretty darn similar to our own, with some of the big names from the Mustang's half century making an appearance, while there are three or four cars here that we think you'll be pretty surprised by.
Take a look below for this short video from Jay Leno's Garage.
Shelby GT500 and Roush Stage 3 go head to head at the drag strip
Wed, 07 Aug 2013The Ford Mustang is a brilliantly affordable source of horsepower, with a base 300-plus-horsepower version available for well under $30,000. Jumping up to about $35,000 will get you a solid 420 horsepower from a high-revving V8, while those with some extra disposable income can get a pair of 600-plus-horsepower monsters. Both the Roush Stage 3 with its Phase 3 package and Ford's factory Shelby GT500 even crest the 650-horsepower mark, with 675 and 662 ponies, respectively.
Naturally, someone needed to find out which of these hi-po Mustangs was the quickest. And while this video is quite obviously a dealership commercial, at least there's some solid drag racing between two of the most powerful performance machines available for under $100,000.
With two NHRA drag racers at the wheel, the Stage 3 and GT500 go head to head for three races. Scroll down below to see the results in the full video.
