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. |

Ford to hack $4k off price of Focus EV amid slow sales
Wed, 10 Jul 2013Between slow sales and a hefty price drop for its nearest rival, the Ford Focus Electric may be looking at a pretty substantial price cut. The Detroit News is reporting that Ford will drop the price of the all-electric by about $4,000 to $35,200 to be more competitive with the Nissan Leaf, which received a big price cut for 2013 down to $28,800.
Ford has already admitted to having low expectations for the car's sales and massive rebates were reported earlier in the year, but there is still no official word from Ford on this matter. The company's consumer site still lists the 2014 model's starting price as $39,200. In addition to the Leaf, the Focus Electric will also have to deal with the lower prices of smaller EVs including the Honda Fit EV, Fiat 500e and the Chevrolet Spark EV.
Ford tells Congress it collects and protects some driver data
Fri, 14 Feb 2014Last month Ford's Jim Farley made waves at the CES when it was reported he told show attendees, "We have GPS in your car, so we know what you're doing. By the way, we don't supply that data to anyone." Farley and Ford later partially retracted and clarified that statement.
Spurred by a desire for further transparency on data collection policies, Ford representatives answered questions from Congress, specifically Senator Al Franken (D-Minn.), about driver privacy.
The Detroit News reports that Ford told Congress it does collect some vehicle location data in an effort to "troubleshoot and improve our products" on behalf of the driver. Ford went on to say that it only collects limited data after receiving permission from owners.
Did a US automaker blow the whistle on Hyundai, Kia fuel economy issue?
Mon, 17 Dec 2012In all of the most hotly contested mainstream segments of the motoring universe, the difference of one mile per gallon averaged on a widow sticker can mean the difference between a sale and a walk-off - to say nothing of two or three mpg. So, when Hyundai and Kia were forced to reveal that many of their 40-mpg ratings were actually 38s and 37s, well, it made for big news.
It also, conceivably, made for a competitive disadvantage immediately, when the Korean automakers' products were being shopped versus the guys down the block. And it's that disadvantage that makes a recent story from Automotive News so juicy.
AN is reporting that Margo Oge, former head of the Environmental Protection Agency's Office of Transportation and Air Quality, got a tip in 2010 that Hyundai/Kia were "cheating" to get its impressive fuel economy numbers. The tip, said Oge (who retired from the EPA this past September), came from a senior vice president from a domestic automaker. The source was credible enough for Oge to launch an audit of the Hyundai figures, which ultimately lead to the debacle that we reported on a few months ago, and that the Korean company has been trying to bounce back from ever since.
