1966 F100 - Clean Original Montana Survivor on 2040-cars
Belgrade, Montana, United States
|
1966 Ford F-100 Pickup V8, 4-Speed, Ford 9 Inch rear (3.25 gears) Odometer shows 85,200 miles; actual mileage unknown For sale is a clean, original, Ford pickup from dry, salt-free Montana. I bought this truck about a year ago and have spent that time fixing little things and using it for occasional times when I needed a pickup, usually on drives to Butte (140 miles round trip and over the Continental Divide) and it has never let me down - I have total confidence in the mechanical condition of this truck. The one time I filled it up to the brim and then again after that trip I got 16 MPG. This is a solid, clean, and very nice pickup. I will list everything I know about it, good and bad. THE GOOD: - Starts every time even in cold weather, runs very well - Solid tranny, clutch, rear end - both gear boxes topped off and no noise - Good brakes and tires - rears are new Michelins with hardly any wear (see photo), fronts are Dunlops w/ decent tread - New U-joints, Plugs, Wires/Cap/Rotor, Oil/Filter, Air Filter, Water Pump, Front Shocks - Starter/Alternator/Regulator/Solenoid/Battery Cables replaced before I bought it - Full gauges (w/ factory accessory Stewart Warner Amp/Oil gauges) - Tight front end, tracks straight down the road - Good heater/defrost, wipers, lights, horn all work - Always stays cool, never overheats, does 65 mph very comfortably and will go faster if you want - 3.25 gearset is a great all-around ratio - Bed floor ribs not smashed down - appears to have had a camper on it for most of its life - Repainted grill, wheels, and hubcaps in original color; body touched up in places with factory Sahara Beige before a two-stage compounding and wax job - Original seat has a new aftermarket cover; also new floormats THE REST: - Cracked windshield, broken middle section of headliner, cigar lighter/gas gauge/dome light/e-brake cable don’t work - Driver’s floor was rusted from water collecting under mat but I put in a repro patch panel (all sealed up and solid now) - Carb needs rebuilt/accelerator pump weak, but still perfectly drivable - RF wheel cylinder has a slow leak - Two-piece driveshaft vibrates at 35mph but vibration goes away below and above that - I replaced all 4 U-joints so it must be the center bearing (even swapped in a driveshaft out of another truck to verify that it wasn’t the tranny or rear end, and it’s not); I’ve never replaced one of those so I’m leaving that to the new owner - Leaks oil but I only today tightened up the loose gasket bolts on the valve covers and oil pan and it has already helped immensely; also added some oil leak stopper - Bed is surface-rusted from a load of dirt the previous owner left in the bed for a few months, and front top rail is dented (could be pulled out) - Minor rust in a few insolated places (see 2 photos for examples) but very minimal - NOT A RUST BUCKET - I want to make this very clear, rust is only in a few places such as where mud would gather and otherwise the body is very solid - Various scratches, paint defects, and minor dents on body - Driver's seat foam was ripped so I filled it before putting the new cover on - very comfortable OVERALL This is a very nice truck and gets lots of attention. It runs well and is very clean and dependable. It needs nothing immediately - you can drive it as-is and do more to it over time if you want. I think that if you put in a new windshield and a bedliner, it would really take it to the next level. This would also be a great restoration candidate. I have done my best to describe the truck honestly and in detail including the negative points, but still, I encourage and welcome all prospective bidders to see/drive the truck in person. This vehicle is sold “as-is” and “where-is” and absolutely no warrantees are made concerning it or its condition, either expressed or implied. Truck is located in Belgrade, Montana and buyer is responsible for all shipping arrangements and costs. I will be happy to assist in loading the truck if buyer sends a carrier. Clear title, ready to go. Cash in person talks. I will be happy to answer any questions. Check out my 100% Positive Feedback and bid with confidence - good luck! |

Ford C-Max spied with fresh updates
Fri, 05 Sep 2014The Ford C-Max hatchback looks to be getting a few cosmetic updates, as evidenced in this latest set of spy photos. Like the smaller Focus, which also received a nip/tuck for the 2015 model year, the C-Max appears to be getting a revised front fascia with slimmer headlamps and a more, shall we say, Aston Martin-like grille. Around back, there looks to be a new bumper with redesigned taillamps, as well.
In other markets, the C-Max people-mover is available with a range of powertrains, but here in the US, it exists either as a traditional gas-electric or plug-in hybrid. The C-Max's fuel economy has been a particular topic of interest lately, with its official fuel economy ratings having been lowered twice since the vehicle's launch. Sales initially suffered a bit following this fiasco, though numbers have since leveled out. It's unclear if Ford is working on any powertrain tweaks for the updated C-Max seen here, however.
Ford has likely spruced up the hatch's interior, as well, though we don't have photos of that at this time. Mum's the word on when we'll see the new C-Max, but our best guess is that it'll arrive sometime in the next year.
GM already raising prices on 2014 Silverado and Sierra pickups
Mon, 14 Oct 2013General Motors must be pretty pleased with sales of its two newest pickups, the GMC Sierra and Chevrolet Silverado, as it's announced price hikes for both models, as part of a planned price tweak.
Prices will be bumped by as much as $1,500, although weirdly, they'll be offset by as much as $1,500 in cash-back offers through the end of October. Fox Business reports that GM spokesman Jim Cain said of the price hike, "With the sell down of the '13 models nearly complete, this price adjustment was planned and is a normal part of business."
The move, as Fox is quick to point out, is an interesting one, as sales of the twin pickups struggled last month relative to the Ford F-Series, while both of GM's crosstown competitors have been aggressively undercutting Silverado and Sierra prices. The F-150 starts at $24,070 and the Ram 1500 comes in at $23,600, not counting any cash on the hood. A base Silverado, meanwhile, retails at $25,575.
New car market raining on convertibles' parade
Mon, 08 Jul 2013Whether fitted with soft or hard folding lids, today's droptops are better than ever for year-round motoring. Advancements in power top mechanisms, sealing, aerodynamics, structural rigidity, rollover safety and creature comforts like heated and cooled seats mean that modern convertibles are more versatile and better to drive than ever before. Yet the segment's sales took a dive during the recession and haven't come back, Automotive News reports.
Part of that is because automakers are looking at today's more sensible buyers and simply not developing as many new models, and that lack of fresh iron is curbing sales. AN cites R.L. Polk data which notes that only about one percent of new vehicles registered in the US last year had tops that folded. Back in 2009, it was 1.4 percent, and it was 2 percent in 2006. All-in, some 151,636 convertibles were registered in 2012. That's more units more than were registered in each of the past three years, but the market has also grown as the economy has picked up speed, and as a percentage of new vehicles purchased, convertible sales are lagging.
Thus far in 2013, the Ford Mustang is America's top-selling convertible, with 6,421 units registered through the end of April, followed by its rival, the Chevrolet Camaro, at 4,751 units. The Volkswagen Beetle isn't far behind, with 4,305, but from that point, it's a steep drop off to the fourth-place Mercedes-Benz SL-Class and its 2,380 sales.
