1960 Ford F100 4x4 Custom Cab Big Back Window, 292 V8 4-speed Project, Very Rare on 2040-cars

1960 Ford
F100 4x4 Custom Cab, 292, 4-spd, Big Back Window complete truck, project, very rare. Was last registered and running in 2006. Former Department of Defense truck with low original miles. You are
bidding on an extremely rare 1960 Ford F100 factory 4x4 truck. I owed a 1958
F-100 NAPCO conversion, and this is exactly the same but the first year
offered from the Ford factory as an option. According
to Ford’s production numbers, only 4,334 4x4 fleetside trucks were produced in
1960; it’s the truck equivalent of a 1967 Shelby GT-500 in regards to
rarity. Combine this with the big back
window and the Custom Cab option, and it’s even more rare. I would say this is the Holy Grail among Ford
4x4 enthusiasts. Most Ford
enthusiasts say that NAPCO was still building these early models; I can’t say
for sure but can say it’s exactly the same component-wise. The
original paint color seems to be Aquamarine, a turquoise green. It is
now poorly painted in yellow. The body
is amazingly solid and not rusted out; minor rust bubble areas that would be
easy fixes. This particular
truck has just over 36,000 original miles (formerly a Department of Defense vehicle),
retains its' original 292 cubic inch V-8 engine, and four-speed manual
transmission with compound low. The 4x4 package utilizes a divorced
Spicer transfer case in proper working order, original 9" ford rear end,
and what appears to be a Dana 44 front axle (removable asymmetrical cover). The truck is complete under the hood less battery, and last registered, running, and driving 2006. I am operating under the assumption that the engine will require a full rebuild at this point due to sitting, so I’m selling it as a non-operable “project” truck. The transfer case shifts smoothly through all positions, as does the 4-speed manual transmission. It still has a good clutch, and the brakes still work. Not much more to say under the hood. Tires are
old but hold air, there doesn't appear to be any bed, floor, or door step rust-thorugh. The bed has a diamond-plate steel panel that covers the entire bed floor; I don't know if this was added or original.
A small amount of rust bubbles in each driver- and passenger fender down low, and perhaps
some beginnings in the cab corners, although they look solid. Overall I'd say
the truck is very dry and mostly rust-free. Window regulators are
complete and in place. The original tail gate is no longer present,
either. Otherwise, what you see is exactly what you get. The
interior is complete and unmolested other than an updated stereo, and a three-gauge
auxiliary package added under the dash. Clear
title in hand. This is a rare one and would be an amazing truck restored. While
every effort is being made to describe the truck accurately, it is in fact a 54-year-old
classic, and therefore being sold as-is, without warranty or guarantee
expressed, written, or implied. Shipping is the full responsibility of
the buyer. I will make myself available for loading. $4,500.00 cash or best close offer. Please be
able to pay in full within 3 days of auction end via Bank of America deposit,
or bank wire transfer. You may

These horribly misguided front-drive design studies nearly became the Mustang
Fri, 08 Nov 2013As we eagerly await the unveiling of the all-new sixth-generation Mustang, Ford has been giving us some great information over the past few months showing what has gone into shaping its venerable pony car. As many changes as the Mustang has gone through in its 50 years, though, it appears the fourth-gen model played a decisive and pivotal role in the car's future.
As is part of Mustang lore, the front-wheel drive Ford Probe was originally developed as a next-generation Mustang in the Eighties before cooler heads prevailed. The Blue Oval has just released a handful of images showing how bad things could have been - including a full-scale clay model of a front-wheel-drive Mustang (shown above). Fortunately, the FWD Mustang plan was scrapped and Ford went to work designing a rear-wheel-drive replacement for the Fox Body Mustang, with three design studies making it far enough to become full-scale models. These include the soft "Bruce Jenner" Mustang, the over-the-top "Rambo" Mustang and the middle-ground "Arnold Schwarzenegger" Mustang, which finally became the basis for the 1994 'Stang.
By early 1991, the design language of the fourth-generation Mustang had been worked out, and the rest, they say, is history. Scroll down for the fascinating press release telling the story of the fourth-gen Mustang, and be sure to check out the gallery of horribly misguided sketches and various design studies that were all on the table in the late 1980s.
2014 Holman & Moody 50th Anniversary TdF Ford Mustang
Mon, 01 Jul 2013If you're a fan of Ford racing history, a Mustang worshiper or even just an avid follower of our yearly SEMA coverage, you may have heard the back story on the Race Red Mustang you see above. Back in 1964, Holman & Moody was tapped by the English Alan Mann Racing Team to race-prep three Mustangs for competition in the incredibly arduous 4,000-mile Tour de France Automobile rally. Competing mainly against Jaguar MkII saloons over 10 days and 17 stages, the H&M Mustangs took the top two places in the Touring class and the first-ever racing win for Ford's pony car.
Though the history of that first Mustang win hasn't been incredibly well known here in the States, the subsequent decades have seen plenty of racy versions of the car come and go. Last year at the SEMA show, we covered the brief debut of this living tribute to that piece of racing lore, the Holman & Moody 50th Anniversary TdF Mustang.
This limited-edition Mustang represents a kind of new venture for H&M, as the legendary racing shop has spent the last few decades earning its keep largely by restoring vintage racing cars. The urge to get back into the world of Ford and Mustang was powerful, however, what with the car's 50th anniversary looming and the current generation of 'Stang just about out the door.
Barrett-Jackson 2014: First production 2015 Ford Mustang earns $300k for JDRF [w/video]
Sat, 18 Jan 2014We've almost become immune to the huge dollar amounts that collectible cars earn for charity at Barrett-Jackson. To wit, $300,000 for the first production 2015 Ford Mustang initially didn't seem like very much money. In reality, though, it's probably about 10 times the actual asking price for the car, and we're pleased to report that 100 percent of the proceeds will go to the Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation.
According to Ford, the car's winning bidder will get to "choose a fastback with manual or automatic transmission, and any interior, exterior and stripe color combination offered by Ford on the all-new Mustang." Power will come from a slightly revised version of the well-known 5.0-liter V8 engine that will produce "more than 420hp and 396 pound-feet of torque."
We snapped live images of the 2015 Mustang prototype that Ford had on display here at Barrett-Jackson, and you can check them out above. The official auction description, along with a video of the auction as it happened live, is below.
