This is a very nice classic 1973 Ford F100 pickup. The truck has had one repaint about nine years ago in the original colors(sequioa brown and wimbleton white). It was originally from Arizona and never had any rust, so the body isn't all patched up with bondo. The paint and body on this truck are nearly perfect: no rust, dents, dings, scratches, paint chips, etc-even the bed floor is scratchless! The chrome trim is original for the truck, and is in excellent condition as well. The interior is in great shape. The dash is perfect-no cracks in the dashpad, etc. The seat has been reupholstered at some point-unfortunately the previous owner was a smoker so there are a couple of small cigarette burns on the seat. I don't smoke so it hasn't been smoked in since I've owned it. The headliner and door panels are in great shape. I replaced the carpeting after the truck was repainted,so it has new carpeting. It has AC which does work, but it needs to be recharged because it doesn't blow cold. It has an aftermarket cassette deck(knob-style, so the dash isn't all cut up) which plays fine. This truck is in very good condition mechanically. The previous owner had the engine and transmission rebuilt. It is a 390 V8 with automatic trans. The previous owner also had the brakes re-done. Since I've owned the truck I've replaced the power steering pump and lines, alternator, starter, battery, exhaust, and tires. The engine compartment has been cleaned up and detailed for car shows. The previous owner had the undercarriage undercoated, and I painted over that with por-15 rust resistant type paint, so the underside of the truck is in nice condition too. It has 2 fuel tanks but only the rear tank is functional, front tank would need a new sending unit-the previous owner told me that he never tried using the front tank and neither have I so it hasn't been used in quite some time. I have never had any major problems with this truck in the nine years that I've owned it. It had a little over 99000 miles when I bought it, and has around 103,000 now. It has always been garage kept since I've owned it, and only driven on sunny summer days. It has not seen rain or snow since the repaint. I predominantly use it for classic car shows, or an occaisional Sunday drive. If you are looking for a nice classic Ford truck to take to the car shows, this one would be perfect. It has been a consistent trophy winner at the shows that I've taken it to. The restoration on this truck is very nice, and much attention was paid to detail. It's almost like going back in time and finding one of these when it was nearly new. About the only bad thing that I can say about this truck is the gas mileage is horrible(7-8 mpg). I would really like to see this truck go to someone who's going to keep it as a collector's item and use it for shows, not someone looking for a daily driver. If there is anything specific on the truck that you would like to see that isn't shown in the pics, let me know. I would trust this truck to drive pretty much anywhere, but due to the poor gas mileage and the fact that it is a 40 year old vehicle that hasn't been driven on a regular basis in years, I'd strongly recommend having it shipped.

Ford bondage ads reportedly trigger firings at Indian ad agency
Wed, 27 Mar 2013You will probably remember the ads for the Ford Figo hatchback in India, the ones that showcased the extra large boot of the little hatchback by joking that you can fit three of your enemies in the trunk. One of the ads had Michael Schumacher in the front seat, obviously pleased about having Sebastian Vettel, Lewis Hamilton and Fernando Alonso tied up in the back. But the other two had Paris Hilton and ex-Italian prime minister Silvio Berlusconi up front and three bound and gagged women in the back - in Hilton's case (shown above), it was the Kardashians.
This did not go over well, and Reuters reports that certain employees at JWT India have been fired over the matter. It is also reported that the images weren't actual advertisements, nor were they part of an actual campaign; JWT said they "were never intended for paid publication, were never requested by our Ford client." A JWT rep said the employees who created the ads did so on their own, Ford commented to Automotive News that the ads were "part of a creative exercise intended to test concepts for an advertising competition."
The problem, if the story is to be believed, is that the employees skipped the regular review protocols and uploaded their work to an ad industry site - they were found on Ads of the World. That page, like the employees, has been removed.
Would a Mustang-based Lincoln look like this?
Mon, 07 Jan 2013Designer Josiah LaCalla has taken a stab at what a Ford Mustang-based Lincoln model might look like with the Continental Mark X1 concept. Make no mistake, Ford's luxury arm has made it abundantly clear that it won't be pursuing any new products outside of volume models, which means a flashy halo grand tourer like the one you see here isn't in the cards. LaColla used the Mercedes-Benz SLS AMG as a basis for his creation, which explains the long nose, but we certainly don't mind the idea of a rear-wheel drive Lincoln with a cabin pushed to the aft.
While we're dreaming, there's certainly nothing stopping us from imagining what's under that lengthy hood. We like the idea of the 5.8-liter supercharged V8 from the Shelby GT500 pushing the Mark X1 down the road, but how about something a little more inventive? Something like a high-revving, buttery V12 with enough torque to push the contraption well past 200 miles per hour. Dream a little dream, people.
Ford EcoBoost smashes records at Daytona
Thu, 10 Oct 2013Some mighty machines have lapped the banks of the Daytona International Speedway over the years: thunderous V8-powered stock cars, Le Mans-conquering Group C prototypes, open-wheel Champ Cars, knee-dragging superbikes... heck, the infield lake has even hosted powerboat racing. But this - this is the fastest car ever to lap the legendary raceway.
What you're looking at is the new Daytona Prototype being prepared by Riley Technologies for the new United SportsCar Championship. The car, released just last week, is powered by a new 3.5-liter turbocharged V6 from Ford's EcoBoost family, and just obliterated the top speed at the track with a blistering 222.971 miles per hour through the traps.
That's enough to annihilate the previous record that was set, also under Ford power, by Bill Elliott while placing his Thunderbird on pole for the 1987 Daytona 500 that he would go on to win. His 210.364 mph record had stood for 26 years until now.
