1972 Ford F-100 Sport Custom 390 Big Block Automatic with factory air.
This truck is all original except for the radio. Has had only 3 owners. Still have original owners manual, etc. For the past 13 years it has been in a 3 sided carport and used whenever needed. Always reliable. When a kid pulled in front of my Silverado, I used it daily for 2 months. Or if it sits for a month waiting to take trash to the dump, it's ready for that chore also. A few months ago, took it to Salem, (5 hour drive roundtrip), and as always, no problems. Shows 79,000 miles, and no way to verify if it's actual. It does not smoke a bit, and may use a quart at the most between changes. Runs strong, shifts great, sounds nice. All guages work, all lights work, even the cargo! Surface rust ONLY. No bubbles, holes, pitting, etc. Not even in the locking "tool box" in the bed. I included a photo of the roof. I was going to primer it, then decided to let the buyer see it as-is. It is smooth as glass. Speaking of glass, all is good EXCEPT for an hour glass shape in the windshield. Barely noticable, but you will. Tags are good for at least another year. Les Schwab tires are at 70-75%. The original under dash A.C. has'nt worked in years, but I have no reason to believe it may with freon and a belt. The only bad part is a cyclone fence jumped in front of the lil' lady when she was backing up. It took off the trim, but the largest piece is fine, the smaller (door) may be fixable. The indentation it left is very shallow as I hope you can see from the photos. Even with that flaw, I get compliments quite often. It is available for inspection anytime we are available. If you choose a transport company for delivery, I will be happy to meet them at a convenient location. Ask any questions as I'm sure I forgot some items. Thanks.

Bill Ford op-ed argues we can't just build and sell more of the same cars
Thu, 10 Jul 2014It's hardly a secret that the auto industry is undergoing an enormous, tectonic shift in the way it thinks, builds cars and does business. Between alternative forms of energy, a renewed focus on low curb weights and aerodynamic bodies, the advent of driverless and autonomous cars and the need to reduce the our impact on the environment, it's very likely that the car that's built 10 years down the line will be scarcely recognizable when parked next to the car from 10 years ago.
Few people are as able to explain the industry's many upcoming changes and challenges as clearly as William Clay Ford, Jr., better known as Bill Ford. The 57-year-old currently sits as the executive chairman of the company his great-grandfather, Henry Ford, founded over 110 years ago.
In an op-ed piece in The Wall Street Journal (subscription required), Ford explains that the role of automakers is, necessarily, going to change to suit the needs of the future world. That means changing the view of not just the automobile, but the automaker. As Ford explains it, automakers will "move from being just car and truck manufacturers to become personal-mobility companies."
BMW to follow Honda back into F1?
Mon, 14 Apr 2014The economic downturn wrought devastating effects on motor racing. Formula One alone lost half its engine suppliers when Honda left at the end of the 2008 season, and both BMW and Toyota followed at the end of 2009. But things are looking up again. Cosworth may have dropped out this season, reducing the engine suppliers to three: Ferrari, Renault and Mercedes, the latter of which admits that it may have left had the engine formula not changed. But Mercedes has stayed and is dominating the championship. Honda is coming back next season. And word around the paddock is it may not be the only one.
According to Giancarlo Minardi - founder of the team now known as Scuderia Toro Rosso - BMW engineers have been conspicuously spotted lately at F1 test sessions and grands prix, lending to speculation that the new engine regulations may entice the Bavarian automaker back into the series. According to Minardi, BMW's marketing division is pushing for the automaker's return to F1, with the board slated to make a decision in May. BMW would be more likely to consider an engine-supply deal rather than taking a team over like it had with Sauber, but with which team or teams it might collaborate remains a big question mark at this point.
As if that's not enough, Ford is said to be considering taking over Cosworth's aborted V6 turbo engine program to take both outfits back into the sport as well. Cosworth supplied F1 engines under the Ford banner for years, but returned under its own name for four seasons from 2010 through 2013 before shuttering its program to develop an engine to meet the new regulations adopted this season.
Ford Q1 profits dragged down by warranty costs
Fri, 25 Apr 2014General Motors isn't the only Detroit automaker posting falling profits in the first quarter. Ford just released its Q1 2014 financial data, and it reported a net income of $989 million, down $622 million from Q1 2013. The drop is partially blamed on higher warranty and recall expenses than the company had anticipated.
Financially, Ford suffered a rough quarter almost across the board. Its pre-tax profit of $1.4 billion was also down $765 million from a year ago. Things were even worse in the North American market where operating profit fell significantly to $1.5 billion, down from $2.392 billion in Q1 2013. However, its global revenue ticked up slightly to $35.9 billion, from $35.6 billion in this period in 2013.
Ford admitted that it spent about $900 million on expenses that it hadn't planned for during this quarter. According to Reuters, the company paid about $400 million in additional warranty and recall costs in North America. The automaker didn't explain why the costs were so much higher than expected. However, in the last three months, Ford has had several recalls, including on the 2001-2004 Escape for rust, Explorer for its steering, Edge for its fuel line and others.
