This is a rare find for someone who loves classic trucks, and doesn't just want to keep them in the garage but enjoys a truck that drives every day.

I bought this for my 16-year old daughter about a year ago.  When I bought it, it was in good running condition but needed a little work to get it to a comfortable, safe, every-day vehicle.  When I started doing work on it, I let her drive my late model F-250, and she loves my big truck so much she wants to keep driving it, and I've enjoyed driving this 1964 F-100 so much I commute up and down I-70 every day, and never had a problem.  My wife's parents recently gave us their used SUV, and (to my regret) the old '64 is one extra vehicle than we need.  I've kept records of every part, repair and service over the past year.

First here's the overall description of the truck you're bidding on:

- 1964 Ford F-100 short bed 

- Great-working 4-wheel drive - a rare and valuable find on a truck of this vintage - with manual locking hubs

- Re-built upon a 1983 Ford F-150 drive train, chassis and engine

- Front disc brakes

- Power steering

- Edelbrock 305 V-8 engine, 4-barrel carb, automatic transmission - in disclosure, I really have no idea how many miles are on the engine - it leaks a little oil (but doesn't burn it), and runs great

- Dual exhaust with glass packs 

- Super clean exterior re-painted with the original factory color of the truck in Ford Green

- No notable rust

- 15-inch custom wheels enhancing the truck's stance and retaining the classic looks

- Gas tank moved from original position (behind the bench seat) and mounted between the frame rails under the bed (seems safer to me!)

- Newer (however used - from an F-150 salvage) side-mounted mirrors for better visibility

- After-market stereo with CD player and speakers (I have them wired in, but not mounted very pretty yet pending a new headliner)

- Floor covering in great shape with no tears


 In addition, here are other minor but important enhancements/upgrades I've made:

- Completely covered floors, behind the seat, and internal firewall with sound-proofing and fire-proofing fabric for safety, noise dampening, and insulation (haven't gotten to the ceiling liner yet - will have to be the next owner)

- Added "saddle blanket" style seat cover over original bench seat.  The seat has a minor seam gap that wasn't big enough for me to bother with, but it's on the driver side

- New steering linkage and tie rods

- New shocks

- New alternator

- New high capacity battery

- New high capacity radiator - brand new

- Replaced door sealing for tighter fit, insulation and noise dampening

- Added extra seal to top of doors - you need to shut the doors a little harder to get them closed, but I like it because it's better insulated and lower noise, but if shutting them easier is what you want, they are easily removed

- Sprayed additional coat of liquid sealer to interior (non-visible) door panels for additional sound proofing

- Welded post in bed to secure spare rim/tire (spare rim is same size however not same style as four mounted rims)

- Replaced the seals on the vent windows, plus replaced the hood bumpers to eliminate rattles here and there

- Ford F-100 "arrow" style emblems on either side of the hood.  These don't match the original "badge-style" for the '64, but I just think they look cooler and add to the truck's appearance

- Re-built heater core that works like a charm - including de-frost that works equally well (replaced one of the defroster ducts), ran new hoses from radiator and re-painted core cover visible from inside the truck

- Installed a wiper washer resevoir and electric pump, tubing, spray mounts on hood, along with electrical switch on dash - wipers work great

- NEW 15-inch all-terrain tires - these have less than 300 miles on them; I hesitated to replace them before sale but one of the others was starting to dry rot and I felt better about selling it with fresh rubber


The only disclosures I'd make to be sure the buyer of this great truck feels all has been mentioned:

The original radio cover on the dash isn't all that well-secured.  I have it held down with some loose screws and added rubber strip under it for anti-vibration but it would be extremely easy to secure this.  There's a small scratch (pictured) on the passenger side.  There's some missing knobs - a couple on the dash, the window cranks - but I haven't gotten around to re-painting the dash and putting the fit and finish on interior stuff like that.  The hood secures tight, but I notice a larger gap on the passenger side than on the driver side - this isn't a problem, just cosmetic, and adjusting hood springs isn't something I've gotten around to.  There is also a light scrape (not a dent) on the front passenger side corner (also pictured).  The antennae works, but needs a new exterior rod (screw on type).  I've taken pictures of any/all exterior stuff so you can see for yourself.

The truck has never left Colorado since I've owned it, and where it will ship from if you are out of state (seller responsible for shipping), and I'm one of those guys who washes his truck every week, and have applied two coats of polish to the paint to keep it nice.  This is a fun, every-day truck – rare 4x4 in an old classic like this, power steering and disc brakes and head-turning exterior.  If I had a dollar for every time someone left a note on my windshield that they'd like to buy it I wouldn't have to list it here...!

Happy bidding.

Mustang-themed pinball game debuting in Chicago [w/video]

Wed, 05 Feb 2014

Believe it or not, but new pinball machines are still being made. Chicago-based Stern Pinball still makes them and has found a niche selling modern machines to individual buyers and arcade distributors. For its latest cabinet, Stern partnered with Ford to create a pinball game that pays homage to the 50th anniversary of the Mustang, including the next generation. The new machine is being unveiled at the Chicago Auto Show on February 6 and goes on sale in March.
Stern is offering the machine in three variants. The pro-level machine is meant for arcades and public spaces and retails for $4,995. All of them come with background and cabinet art by Camilo Pardo, who designed the Ford GT, and Top Gear USA host Tanner Foust is the game's announcer. Depending on where players shoot the ball, they activate events that simulate drag racing, rallying, drifting and racing the Mustang, and hitting targets lets players shift the gears up and down.
An upgraded, premium table with added art will be added later for pinball machine collectors. The third model is a signed, special edition with art of the 1965 Mustang and 2015 Mustang on the machine and chrome and Mustang badges on the speaker grilles. Prices for these editions will be announced later.

Ford recalls Five Hundred, Mercury Montego sedans over fuel tank woes

Mon, 18 Jul 2011

Ford has announced through the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration that it is recalling nearly 3,000 examples of its Five Hundred and Mercury Montego (pictured) sedans from the 2007 model year.
The action, which affects 2,945 vehicles, is due to potentially defective welds between the filler neck and the fuel tank, a condition that could result in a fuel leak or the smell of gasoline reaching the occupants. In the worst-case scenario, a leak could cause a fire. Cars with the affected fuel tank problem could see an illuminated dashboard warning light as a result of the evaporative emissions leak being detected.
Ford will inspect and replace the fuel tank at no cost to owners (those who have already had the procedure done at-cost can apply for reimbursement), and the Dearborn automaker will begin notifying Five Hundred and Montego owners beginning August 15. Check out the official NHTSA press release after the jump for further details.

First 1K next-gen Mustangs to carry 2014 1/2 model year?

Thu, 18 Jul 2013

A new report from Mustangs Daily, citing insider sources at Ford, tells us that the Blue Oval will produce 1,000 next-generation Mustangs with the model year designation of 2014 ½, to celebrate the 50th anniversary of the storied marque. The commemorative half-year designation is a rumor that's been swirling in Mustang forums for quite some time now, and seems more plausible than ever with this most recent report. Certainly it's not far-fetched to believe that Ford will want to make a big deal of the golden anniversary for its most-loved model.
The story (compiled by Drew Phillips, who runs the aforementioned Mustang site when he's not directing the photography on these pages) goes on to say that the limited-run cars will be the first built on the new Mustang platform internally known as S550 (and spied testing in the attached gallery). Each car is said to carry a "special" VIN and build number, though no performance upgrades versus the 2015 cars to follow are in the works. A collector's dream then, rather than a weekend racer's.
