1960 Ford
F100 4x4 Custom Cab, 292, 4-spd, Big Back Window complete truck, project, very rare. Was last registered and running in 2006. Former Department of Defense truck with low original miles. You are
bidding on an extremely rare 1960 Ford F100 factory 4x4 truck. I owed a 1958
F-100 NAPCO conversion, and this is exactly the same but the first year
offered from the Ford factory as an option. According
to Ford’s production numbers, only 4,334 4x4 fleetside trucks were produced in
1960; it’s the truck equivalent of a 1967 Shelby GT-500 in regards to
rarity. Combine this with the big back
window and the Custom Cab option, and it’s even more rare. I would say this is the Holy Grail among Ford
4x4 enthusiasts. Most Ford
enthusiasts say that NAPCO was still building these early models; I can’t say
for sure but can say it’s exactly the same component-wise. The
original paint color seems to be Aquamarine, a turquoise green. It is
now poorly painted in yellow. The body
is amazingly solid and not rusted out; minor rust bubble areas that would be
easy fixes. This particular
truck has just over 36,000 original miles (formerly a Department of Defense vehicle),
retains its' original 292 cubic inch V-8 engine, and four-speed manual
transmission with compound low. The 4x4 package utilizes a divorced
Spicer transfer case in proper working order, original 9" ford rear end,
and what appears to be a Dana 44 front axle (removable asymmetrical cover). The truck is complete under the hood less battery, and last registered, running, and driving 2006. I am operating under the assumption that the engine will require a full rebuild at this point due to sitting, so I’m selling it as a non-operable “project” truck. The transfer case shifts smoothly through all positions, as does the 4-speed manual transmission. It still has a good clutch, and the brakes still work. Not much more to say under the hood. Tires are
old but hold air, there doesn't appear to be any bed, floor, or door step rust-thorugh. The bed has a diamond-plate steel panel that covers the entire bed floor; I don't know if this was added or original.
A small amount of rust bubbles in each driver- and passenger fender down low, and perhaps
some beginnings in the cab corners, although they look solid. Overall I'd say
the truck is very dry and mostly rust-free. Window regulators are
complete and in place. The original tail gate is no longer present,
either. Otherwise, what you see is exactly what you get. The
interior is complete and unmolested other than an updated stereo, and a three-gauge
auxiliary package added under the dash. Clear
title in hand. This is a rare one and would be an amazing truck restored. While
every effort is being made to describe the truck accurately, it is in fact a 54-year-old
classic, and therefore being sold as-is, without warranty or guarantee
expressed, written, or implied. Shipping is the full responsibility of
the buyer. I will make myself available for loading. $4,500.00 cash or best close offer. Please be
able to pay in full within 3 days of auction end via Bank of America deposit,
or bank wire transfer. You may

First 500 European Ford Mustangs reserved in 30 seconds [w/video]
Thu, 29 May 2014We're pretty sure that any initial concerns Ford had about selling the redesigned Mustang in Europe have been lessened considerably, after the first 500 Euro-spec 2015 Mustangs were been reserved in just 30 seconds. Moreover, 9,300 people attempted to snag one of the coveted orders for the all-new muscle car. Yes, Mustang, you should do quite well across the pond.
The registration event was held during the UEFA (pronounced yu-eh-fa) Champions League Final between Real Madrid and Atlético Madrid.
"We knew there was huge excitement building for the new Ford Mustang coming to Europe, but the response during the UCL Final was overwhelming," said Roelant de Waard, VP of marketing, sales and service for Ford's European outfit. "It was a truly special way to kick off the Ford Mustang era in Europe."
Ford readying dozen+ Mustang models for SEMA
Wed, 22 Oct 2014Ford is unsurprisingly bringing a herd of its new 2015 Mustang models to next month's SEMA show in Las Vegas. Over a dozen of them are arriving from top aftermarket outfits like Galpin Auto Sports, Steeda, Roush and others. The Blue Oval isn't just shining a spotlight on the V8 model, though. The new EcoBoost 2.3-liter version with 310 horsepower and 320 pound-feet of torque is also getting its time in the sun.
Among the shined-up ponies will be a showcar helping Galpin celebrate the Mustang's golden anniversary, with the car is covered in the precious metal. The black paint over the body has gold flecks in it, and the wheels, side sills, brake calipers and badges all match, as well. However, it takes more than something shiny to truly impress at SEMA, and Galpin's Mustang also packs a Whipple supercharger for the 5.0-liter V8, boosting the bottom line to 725 horsepower. Take that, Hellcat. There's even a window in the hood to look through, not unlike a Chevrolet Corvette ZR1. The coupe also wears new headlights with LED turn signals that activate in sequence, just like the taillights, and the interior features black-and-gold Recaro seats.
Also set for its SEMA debut is an MRT showcar that takes the EcoBoost Mustang for a gallop with its TKO treatment. The black and orange two-tone car has been designed to incorporate select road racing elements. Mechanical upgrades include 14-inch brake rotors with new ducts, a Vortech air-to-air intercooler and an Air Lift suspension. The Mustang also shows off the company's products for added style and performance including a hood with integrated heat extractors and a unique front splitter.
Ford to rebrand SVT as 999?
Mon, 22 Sep 2014Ford operates a number of performance divisions around the world. There's SVT in the US, Team RS in Europe and Ford Performance Vehicles (FPV) in Australia. But the Blue Oval has been steadily integrating its performance operations into one unit, and here we might have our first indication of what it will be called.
A reader at Jalopnik sent in a survey in which respondents were asked to gauge the name for a new performance brand from a "major automotive manufacturer," and while the identity of that automaker was not disclosed, according to the survey, the automaker is considering the name 999 for its new go-fast unit.
As our compatriots point out, the 999 was Ford's first racecar, a rudimentary chassis with a 19-liter inline-four campaigned by Henry Ford around the turn of the 20th century. (Ford also used the number to designate a Fusion fuel-cell racer a few years back.) That could prove the tie-in Dearborn is looking for in rebranding its performance operations worldwide, replacing the letters SVT, RS and FPV globally under one name.
