Up for auction is a very clean 1970 F-100 that I purchased from the original owner, who lovingly maintained it all these years. Truck is a cream yellow color with a black interior. The interior is in excellent condition, outside of the carpet which could use replacing. The dash pad and dash board look about new, as does the seat and door panels. The original owner added several accessories such as a vintage Radio Shack AM/FM/cassette deck, a CB radio, electronic brake controller, and utilized the existing dash switches to control the front mounted fog lights, as well as lighting and speakers in the camper shell. The three spoke steering wheel with horn ring is also in great shape! Truck is powered by a 302 2-barrel engine that was installed in 2001 according to the receipt (and only has about 4700 miles on it now), smooth shifting C4 automatic transmission, and a 9" Ford rear axle with 3.00 gears and posi-traction. Truck also has power steering and power drum brakes. The original owner wanted this truck ready to 'go' at all times, therefore everything under the hood appears to be in great shape. I have converted the truck from points ignition to electronic via a Pertronix Ignitor. Truck has dual 2" exhaust with quiet glass-pack mufflers and chrome tips. The body is very clean, although there are a few dings and scratches here and there as the truck was used for camping, etc. The early 70s aluminum camper shell is in great condition, and there is a carpet kit installed in the bed. Truck also has an aftermarket wind-visor installed with functional running lights, dual CB antennas, dual chrome door mirrors, and mud flaps at all four corners. A vintage bug deflector is installed on the hood too. The super rare American Racing wheels are very unique, they were made in 1976 and have real wood inserts in them!!!!! There is a spare tire with a spare American Racing wheel that matches the ones on the truck, and a set of spare centers are included (spares are plastic though...). USA made tires are near new as well. The truck has a few minor issues that I have noticed. First the doors could use new anti-rattle kits installed as the windows are slightly loose and rattle and have wind noise at speed. Second, there is some rust in the crossmember under the cab on the drivers side (cab mounts are perfect as owner would keep oily rags stuffed in the cab mounts to keep them from rusting). There is also some rust in the inner fenders in the usual spots...... Third, the original windshield has a few rock chips in it. The truck also really needs a complete and thorough detailing job to look it's best, and probably a little mechanical maintenance as the truck has sat much more then it has driven.....though truck has been very reliable for me when I have driven it. This truck is not perfect, but it is a clean and cared for example of the 68-72 F-100 generation. I never planned on selling it, but medical bills say otherwise! Please email with questions and thanks for looking!

Ford files trademark application for 'Model E'
Fri, 27 Dec 2013In early December, Ford filed an application with the US Patent and Trademark Office for the name "Model E." Historically, Ford never produced a Model E, and while automakers are known to file for trademarks they never use, some have wondered if the application might be used for a concept car.
Based on other recent events, though, it could be a legal move. In 2000 Ford sued an online start-up called Model E over the similarity of that name to Ford's industry-shaping Model T, but the judge dismissed the case citing lack of proper grounds. In August 2013, Tesla applied for trademark registration for Model E, and at the time, Ford said it would review the application. Tesla actually made two applications for Model E, one for automobiles and structural parts therefore, the other for "providing maintenance and repair services for automobiles," and there are plenty of theories about what the name could be applied to.
The Published for Opposition date for Tesla's applications is December 31, 2013, after which anyone who thinks they'd be harmed by Tesla being granted the trademark gets 30 days to register their issues. This is just speculation, but Ford's application - which was filed for automobiles only - might be about protecting what it sees as unwelcome encroachment on the name Model T, protection it wasn't able to enforce before when the stakes were only online and much smaller.
Ford looks to space robots to improve car-to-car communications [w/video]
Wed, 21 Aug 2013Ford has partnered with St. Petersburg Polytechnic University for three years to research various kinds of connected vehicle communications. The university tie-up is part of its study of space robots, NASA systems created to enable space-to-Earth communication, and the university's own development of systems that enable communication between the International Space State and Earth.
The objective is for Ford to engineer layers of robust networks and redundancy systems that will allow your car to speak to other cars, to emergency vehicles, to infrastructure like traffic lights and buildings, and to the cloud. Benefits would come in just about every area of transit, from avoiding accidents, to getting medical workers to an accident more quickly, to improving the flow of traffic during rush hour.
Check out the press release below for details on what Ford wants to learn from the JUSTIN Humanoid and NASA Robonaut R2, and a video of technical leader Oleg Gusikhin discussing his interest in the project.
Subprime financing on the rise in new car sales, leasing too
Fri, 07 Dec 2012We all remember the financial crisis that began several years back. At its core was a splurge of subprime lending for housing loans. The housing bubble burst, triggering a collapse of the mortgage-backed securities market. Apparently, those types of loans still exist in the automotive industry, and the market share for these types of "nonprime, subprime, and deep subprime," loans has grown 13.6 percent compared to the third quarter a year ago.
According to an Automotive News report, high-risk lending expanded to 24.8 percent of total loans in Q3, up from 21.9 percent for this time last year. As this level increased, average credit scores of borrowers dropped to 755, down from 763 a year ago. In that time, the average financing amount increased $90 per vehicle, to $25,963.
At 818, Volvo maintains the highest per-owner credit score, while Mitsubishi has the lowest, at 694. The highest rate of borrowers was at Toyota, with 14 percent of the market, followed by Ford with 13.1 percent and Chevrolet at 11.1.
