1966 F100 - Clean Original Montana Survivor on 2040-cars
Belgrade, Montana, United States
|
1966 Ford F-100 Pickup V8, 4-Speed, Ford 9 Inch rear (3.25 gears) Odometer shows 85,200 miles; actual mileage unknown For sale is a clean, original, Ford pickup from dry, salt-free Montana. I bought this truck about a year ago and have spent that time fixing little things and using it for occasional times when I needed a pickup, usually on drives to Butte (140 miles round trip and over the Continental Divide) and it has never let me down - I have total confidence in the mechanical condition of this truck. The one time I filled it up to the brim and then again after that trip I got 16 MPG. This is a solid, clean, and very nice pickup. I will list everything I know about it, good and bad. THE GOOD: - Starts every time even in cold weather, runs very well - Solid tranny, clutch, rear end - both gear boxes topped off and no noise - Good brakes and tires - rears are new Michelins with hardly any wear (see photo), fronts are Dunlops w/ decent tread - New U-joints, Plugs, Wires/Cap/Rotor, Oil/Filter, Air Filter, Water Pump, Front Shocks - Starter/Alternator/Regulator/Solenoid/Battery Cables replaced before I bought it - Full gauges (w/ factory accessory Stewart Warner Amp/Oil gauges) - Tight front end, tracks straight down the road - Good heater/defrost, wipers, lights, horn all work - Always stays cool, never overheats, does 65 mph very comfortably and will go faster if you want - 3.25 gearset is a great all-around ratio - Bed floor ribs not smashed down - appears to have had a camper on it for most of its life - Repainted grill, wheels, and hubcaps in original color; body touched up in places with factory Sahara Beige before a two-stage compounding and wax job - Original seat has a new aftermarket cover; also new floormats THE REST: - Cracked windshield, broken middle section of headliner, cigar lighter/gas gauge/dome light/e-brake cable don’t work - Driver’s floor was rusted from water collecting under mat but I put in a repro patch panel (all sealed up and solid now) - Carb needs rebuilt/accelerator pump weak, but still perfectly drivable - RF wheel cylinder has a slow leak - Two-piece driveshaft vibrates at 35mph but vibration goes away below and above that - I replaced all 4 U-joints so it must be the center bearing (even swapped in a driveshaft out of another truck to verify that it wasn’t the tranny or rear end, and it’s not); I’ve never replaced one of those so I’m leaving that to the new owner - Leaks oil but I only today tightened up the loose gasket bolts on the valve covers and oil pan and it has already helped immensely; also added some oil leak stopper - Bed is surface-rusted from a load of dirt the previous owner left in the bed for a few months, and front top rail is dented (could be pulled out) - Minor rust in a few insolated places (see 2 photos for examples) but very minimal - NOT A RUST BUCKET - I want to make this very clear, rust is only in a few places such as where mud would gather and otherwise the body is very solid - Various scratches, paint defects, and minor dents on body - Driver's seat foam was ripped so I filled it before putting the new cover on - very comfortable OVERALL This is a very nice truck and gets lots of attention. It runs well and is very clean and dependable. It needs nothing immediately - you can drive it as-is and do more to it over time if you want. I think that if you put in a new windshield and a bedliner, it would really take it to the next level. This would also be a great restoration candidate. I have done my best to describe the truck honestly and in detail including the negative points, but still, I encourage and welcome all prospective bidders to see/drive the truck in person. This vehicle is sold “as-is” and “where-is” and absolutely no warrantees are made concerning it or its condition, either expressed or implied. Truck is located in Belgrade, Montana and buyer is responsible for all shipping arrangements and costs. I will be happy to assist in loading the truck if buyer sends a carrier. Clear title, ready to go. Cash in person talks. I will be happy to answer any questions. Check out my 100% Positive Feedback and bid with confidence - good luck! |

Ford Police Interceptor with 2.0L EcoBoost rated most fuel-efficient police sedan
Tue, 26 Nov 2013Back in September, Ford announced a non-pursuit version of its Police Interceptor Sedan, which swaps out a choice of two V6 engines for a fuel-efficient 2.0-liter EcoBoost inline four-cylinder. This Special Service Police Sedan will be marketed to law enforcement agencies looking to cut fuel costs and don't need the extra power.
For college campuses, detectives and the like, this new police car has now been certified with EPA fuel economy estimates of 20 miles per gallon in the city, 32 mpg on the highway and a combined rating of 24 mpg. These figures represent a decrease of two mpg in city and combined ratings compared to the civilian-spec 2014 Taurus. These police cars still offer active grille shutters for better aerodynamics, although we're guessing agencies upfitting their cars with light bars and push bumpers aren't exactly concerted with aerodynamics. The true benefit of the SSP version is when it's compared against other police sedan options like the Dodge Charger, Chevy Impala, Chevy Caprice and even the V6 Police Interceptor Sedan.
Ford claims the new Police Interceptor Sedan SSP is the most fuel-efficient current option for police departments, saying that this car can save $1,720 per car over three years and almost $260,000 over the same span of time for fleets with 150 vehicles. There is an official press release posted below, and also check out the gallery of images from Ford collected from various police agencies across the US (although none show the 2.0-liter SSP model). Head on over to Ford's Police Interceptor mini-site for even more pictures of the Police Interceptor Sedan and Utility.
Ford C-Max sales hold steady despite fuel economy fracas
Mon, 09 Sep 2013Despite the ballyhoo that accompanied Ford's lowering of the C-Max fuel economy figures, the Blue Oval is still seeing strong demand for the five-seat MPV, as Automotive News reports. Speaking to marketing boss Jim Farley, AN says that the controversy surrounding the C-Max's fuel economy figures won't force Ford to change its marketing strategy.
Ford lowered the fuel economy rating of the C-Max after public outcry and legal action by customers that were unable to reach the 47 miles per gallon promised by the window sticker. The new ratings were dropped about a month ago to 45 mpg on the freeway and 40 mpg in the city. Ford offered rebates for current C-Max owners, with $550 going to those that bought their car and $325 to lessees. The issue, says Ford, stemmed from testing standards that allowed the automaker to base the C-Max's fuel economy on the Fusion Hybrid, because they use identical powertrains. The C-Max's less aerodynamic shape wasn't taken into account, though.
Whether Ford's PR team handled the crises perfectly or people just aren't that bothered by a four-mpg drop in combined ratings, demand remains strong for the C-Max among consumers. Ford moved 3,000 units in August, which was a 12-percent jump over July sales. Meanwhile, consumer demand through third-party shopping websites remains strong as well, according to Autometrics, a data analysis company that spoke with Automotive News. While the long-term effects of the adjustments remain unknown, the C-Max appears to have fared well in the near term.
Ford Fiesta ST customs get wild at SEMA
Tue, 05 Nov 2013The massive 57-car SEMA showcase by Ford ranges from obvious aftermarket-friendly models like the Mustang, to the not so obvious ones, like the Transit Connect and cute-as-an-explosive-button Fiesta ST. Ford plucked several Fiesta STs for SEMA duty, and we were on the show floor today to get a closer look at some of them.
First up is the striking COBB Tuning and Tanner Foust Racing Fiesta ST (above) finished in a black-and-gray digital camouflage, much like that used in the military, and is meant to raise awareness for the Pat Tillman Foundation. COBB also fitted a three-inch exhaust and a cold-air intake. A new shift knob, carbon-fiber hood and a Kicker stereo round out the mix of upgrades.
MRT got its hands on a Fiesta ST and created a car inspired by Forza Motorsport 5 (below, left). Featuring a two-tone paint job and more performance upgrades than you can shake a stick at, this Fiesta ST is one of the cooler compacts at Ford's stand. A high-performance exhaust system, along with a complimentary COBB induction system, allows the ST to breathe better, while an H&R coil over suspension and Steeda brakes help it stop and turn better than stock.
