1973 F-100 351m V8 Longbed Nice! Ford Bahama Blue on 2040-cars
Limestone, Tennessee, United States
|
Welcome to this auction for my 1973 Ford F-100! This truck is a real looker - it gets lots of comments and "thumbs up" from passer-by Ford Truck fans.
Along with its good looks, it also is an excellent driver. It has a 351M engine (not original) and an automatic transmission. It runs down the road nice, the engine stays cool and the transmission shifts strong. I recently drove it 500 miles pulling a car hauler (see last pic) and it did great! In fact, the only reason I'm selling the truck is because I bought a '66 Mustang Fastback GT - too many toys in the garage. I had the brakes completely gone over (new front calipers, new pads, new rear shoes, new brake hoses) just this past spring. The installed hitch was bought at U-haul. The radio works but there are currently no speakers, it had speakers that were sufaced mounted on the headliner (very 70's) and I removed the speakers and repaired the headliner. There are speaker slots that could be used in the original door panels. The fog lights on the front are currently not connected. No A/C, other than the installed rear opening window! Defroster and heat work excellent. The truck has been garaged and babied. It is an original Tennessee vehicle, and has been taken well care of. NO RUST. Please ask any questions before bidding. $500 via PayPal within 48 hrs of auction close, and the remainder due within 7 days. Buyer responsible for pickup and transportation, although I will help anyway I can with a car shipper pickup. |

This Or That: Fiat 500 Abarth vs. Ford Fiesta ST [w/poll]
Thu, 21 Aug 2014
They're pretty darn similar. And yet our views are oh so different.
If you guys could read the transcripts of our editors' chat room, you'd know that we're a pretty argumentative bunch. It's always good-spirited stuff (well, usually), but when we're not obsessively covering this or that, we're usually fighting about one car being better than another. We're all enthusiasts here, and our automotive tastes run the gamut from the weird and unusual to the decidedly mainstream - we all feel strongly about specific cars in a given segment. While it usually makes for good conversation, if we're passionate enough, it can turn into a tomato-throwing showdown.
2014 Ford Fiesta gets fuel economy bump to 41 mpg
Fri, 07 Jun 2013The 2014 Ford Fiesta is in showrooms now with refreshed styling and new performance ST model, but it's what isn't yet available that should help the Fiesta stand out from the growing crowd of subcompacts. Aside from the new 1.0-liter EcoBoost model coming later this year, Ford recently told us that a new Fiesta SFE trim level is on the way that should put the updated Fiesta at the top of its class for fuel economy.
The new Fiesta SFE will hit an estimated 41 miles per gallon on the highway when equipped with the six-speed automatic transmission. The current listing on fueleconomy.gov shows the 2014 Fiesta getting up to 29 mpg city and 39 highway, but the SFE will get minor aero tuning and a recalibrated engine controller to help bump the highway figure past rivals like the Chevrolet Sonic and Nissan Versa - both of which top out at 40-mpg highway. There's still no word as to when the small 1.0-liter EcoBoost will show in the US, but Ford has indicated that engine's fuel economy isn't expected to be released until October.
Ford dinged by OSHA for asbestos at Buffalo plant
Sat, 20 Jul 2013Ford has come under fire from the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) for violations regarding asbestos exposure in a company metal stamping plant in Buffalo, NY. OSHA has cited Ford for eight violations in total, according to an Automotive News report, and faces fines of up to $41,800. 537 workers are employed at the stamping facility.
The violations include a pipefitter at the facility being exposed to asbestos-containing material while working on a steam line, other workers exposed to the material without respiratory protection and work areas that were not designed to limited the number of workers in contact with asbestos. Further, areas in which asbestos was present were not properly restricted, and levels of asbestos in the air were not monitored.
According to an unnamed Ford spokesperson in the AN report, the company feels that the OSHA citation is erroneous saying, "We have fully cooperated with the local OSHA officials and we don't believe the citations are warranted." Ford also maintains that it will work with the authorities to resolve the issue.
