1962 Ford F100 Unibody Long Bed on 2040-cars
Central Point, Oregon, United States
1962 Ford F100 unibody long bed pickup. 292 cu. in. V-8, 3 speed on the floor. Starts and runs good, no smoke, transmission shifts smooth and brakes work. Gauges work (even the gas gauge) lights, turn signals, heater, wipers and cab vents all work. Volt meter and tach have been added to the original gauges and they also work. Seat is in good shape, has one small tear (easy fix). Glass is all good, none broken. Head liner is missing. Dash and doors have never been cut. Has five good tires including the spare and they all match. Recent work includes fuel tank , battery, muffler and radiator all replaced. Also has had recent tune up. Body is very solid, Doors close like a vault and included are the original door keys, locks work. The only rust that I see is just starting in the drip rails above both doors and is still easy to repair, not rusted through (see pic's). Doors, steps inside the doors, cab floor (has good floor mats) and bed floor are in good condition. Has been painted top to bottom, even the frame (see pic's) and will need to be repainted to make it look nice. If you are looking for the rat rod look it already has it. Pickup is in driver condition, would make great rat rod or total restoration candidate. The only thing that I know of that is not original is that the transmission shifter was moved to the floor from the column after the shifter broke. Original shift handle is included but the collar on the column will need to be replaced to fix it. Pickup has not been licensed since 2013 so should probably be trailered. Local pickup only but I will load it on a truck for new owner if you make arangements and pay shipping. Vehicle odometer shows 66799 but is probably not original mileage. Comes with clear Oregon title. E mail with questions.

Hot sales have Detroit automakers shortening summer shutdowns
Tue, 08 Jul 2014Back in May, there was speculation that the Detroit Three automakers would maintain or perhaps even extend their traditional summer shutdowns, mostly due to a bitingly cold winter that saw below-freezing temperatures infiltrate the southernmost reaches of the US, putting a chill on auto sales. Now, though, the numbers are in, and thanks to some promising sales figures, it looks like some domestic line workers are going to be working clear through July, in some cases.
According to Automotive News, Ford has slashed its traditional two-week hiatus for factory workers in half at four of its plants, while both Chrysler and General Motors will keep factories running nonstop (two plants in Chrysler's case and a third of GM's factories).
This is, as we said, thanks to some positive numbers. Chief among those is the Seasonal Adjusted Annual Rate, which was at an eight-year high of 17 million units. Individual figures were less promising. GM, embroiled in its recall scandal, still saw a one-percent increase while Ford dropped six percent in year-over-year sales. Chrysler was the big winner, though, with a nine-percent jump in June.
VW going turbo-only in 3 to 4 years
Wed, 18 Sep 2013This really was a matter of when, rather than if. Volkswagen will apparently be the first manufacturer to phase out naturally aspirated engines in favor of turbocharging its full slate. VW is kind of responsible for ushering in this push towards small-displacement, turbocharged engines that's taken the industry by storm. When it dropped its direct-injection, 2.0-liter turbo in the 2005 GTI it demonstrated that strapping an iron long to an engine can enhance the powertrain as a whole. VW made fuel economy gains, while also giving a linear, non-laggy turbo experience that it has replicated, model-after-model, to this day.
Speaking with The Detroit News, Volkswagen's executive Vice President of Group Quality, Marc Trahan, told the paper that, "We only have one normally aspirated gas engine, and when we go to the next generation vehicle that it's in, it will be replaced. So three, four years maximum."
Really, it's hard to get teary-eyed about either of these engines going away. VW has access to smaller powerplants that could easily match the performance of the 2.5 five-cylinder and the 3.6 V6, while gobbling up less fuel and providing a better driving experience. What we are sad about is that a similar statement about the extinction of NA engines came from the Vice President of Powertrain Engineering at Ford, Joe Bakaj. We'd certainly get teary-eyed over a world without Ford's excellent 5.0-liter V8.
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."
