1976 Ford F100 With Utility Bed, 83,000 Original Miles!!!!! on 2040-cars

Year:1976 Mileage:83000
Location:

Elk River, Minnesota, United States

Elk River, Minnesota, United States

This vehicle was originally purchased by the State of Minnesota and used at Minnesota State University on campus for work related functions.  The miles are original and the vehicle still has the 1996 tires that were installed at that time.  The tires will need to be replaced for safety purposes.  I purchased the vehicle a month ago to drive as a daily driver and have completed some work on it since purchasing it.  Because I sold another vehicle and took a trade on it, I am going to drive the trade I accepted and in turn sell this truck.  It is a great truck and runs really well.  The transmission is strong and works well without any grinding, etc.  The clutch is not new, I don't know if it is the original or not, but it still operates properly.  Since the truck had been sitting for a few years, I have repaired the accelerator pump in the carb; I have installed new rear brake wheel cylinders and brake linings with new brake fluid; I have installed a new master brake cylinder; installed new mufflers on the dual exhaust system (Thrush Glass Packs) with new tips on the ends (Sounds Awesome); fixed an exhaust leak at the exhaust manifold at the tail pipe connection; repaired the window washing reservoir and tips at the windshield to insure that they work properly; all of the utility box doors operate and lock properly- and they are clean inside without much damage; all the lights work on the truck. This is not a perfect truck but without much more work on it to do I was planning on driving it as a daily driver.  It turns a lot of heads driving down the road.

Please only bid if you have the capacity and positive ebay history to substantiate your bid.  I have placed a minimum sale price on it that I will accept.  I will deliver in the Twin Cities metropolitan area and will assist your transportation carrier in making it available for pick-up, etc.  I am requiring a $500 deposit on the bid acceptance within 24 hours after the final bid time line.  Final payment needs to be in the form of cash or a certified check from a local bank that operates in Elk River, Minnesota so that I can be assured that payment is bankable.

Thanks for looking and don't let this one get away, it is a great truck.  I just sold my 1946 Chevrolet with a Utility Bed on it, an old Bell Lineman truck and the wife won't let me keep this truck and the trade-in I received selling the 46.  That's life!!!

Honda giving away free Civics in Forza Horizon to celebrate launch

Wed, 16 Jan 2013

Just a friendly reminder from Honda: The Honda Challenge Pack DLC is now available for Forza Horizon. To reward you for the trouble of pressing a few buttons on your Xbox controller, you'll get the 2013 Honda Civic Coupe, an HPD Rally Fit and a 1986 Honda Civic Si Coupe in your garage, and you'll get them free. The event of the new DLC has also kicked off a photo contest that will reward someone with an Xbox 360 console wrapped in a Honda Civic Si theme.
Otherwise, the word "Challenge" keeps coming up because of the chance to run an online race against IndyCar driver Scott Dixon. The track for that digital throwdown has already been decided by Xbox players who voted before January 8. Yet it's not too late to hop into the Honda section in Xbox Live and lay down a time fast enough for a shot at the title "The Driver That Shellacked Scott Dixon," and meeting the man in person.
Check out the press release from Honda below, and the sweetness that is the 1986 Civic Si in the gallery above.

Ring Brothers shows 1965-66 Mustang fastback carbon fiber body

Thu, 07 Nov 2013

We covered one of Ring Brothers' more extreme SEMA builds yesterday, the De Tomaso Pantera-based ADRNLN, but if that well-executed but over-the-top Italian-American exotic is too much for you, then perhaps this Ring Brothers 1965 Ford Mustang fastback with a carbon-fiber body suits your tastes better.
What the performance-parts manufacturer is showcasing with the Mustang is the carbon-fiber body itself, which is fashioned around the 1965-66 fastback. It can be bought from the company and bonded to the skin and unibody as a do-it-yourself project, or you can take your Mustang to Ring Brothers and have the body installed there. The fenders, doors and quarter panels are two-inches wider than stock, and Ring Brothers offers a custom widebody chassis to those who want the complete package.
The show car looks sharp in person lowered on HRE wheels, and we appreciate the bare front end so we can see the supercharged V8 and front coilover suspension, though the details on those performance upgrades are slim. Also note the custom independent rear suspension setup at the rear.

Did a US automaker blow the whistle on Hyundai, Kia fuel economy issue?

Mon, 17 Dec 2012

In 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.
