Oak Forest, Illinois, United States

1963 E100 Econoline Pickup:

  • Very solid, great running truck
  • Currently licensed and insured and is driven to cruise nights and car shows on a daily basis
  • It is painted in an amateur old school enamel satin white, complete with very tasteful TURQUOISE pinstriping and wide white portawalls with freshly sandblasted and painted TURQUOISE wheels with chrome lug nuts.
  • The original drivetrain was recently replaced with a 200 c.i. mustang six with a synchronized 3 on the tree.
  • The speedometer and odometer are slightly out of calibration because of the trans swap but it is reading 46,945 which is the original mileage.
  • The truck is running off a 12 gallon stainless fuel cell so there is no working gas gauge.
  • All turn signals, headlights, tail lights, brake lights, and parking lights work as they should.
  • The temp gauge functions and the ampmeter and oil pressure gauge are working idiot lights.
  • The truck runs and drives incredibly well and gets somewhere upwards of 20 mpg.
  • There is very little bondo in the  truck and this is mostly over some homemade sheet metal patches done many years ago.
  • I am no body man so it will still need some sanding and filling to make these areas better.
  • The wipers work and the heater fan blows and there is a heater core in it but there are no hoses hooked up to it.
  • The horn is currently not working nor are the dash lights.
  • The truck also features the original manual choke which works as it should.
  • The original gas tank is still in place but the condition is unknown.
  • Also the undercarriage has been all blasted and been painted rustoleum satin black.
  • There is one small hole in the passenger side floor and is an easy fix.
  • Also available are a shortened drive shaft & cross member with motor mounts for a V-8 conversion and a set of 14 in. Craiger SS with unilug pattern w/ tires.
  • I also have brand new, in the box, rubber vent window seals which I have not installed.
  • PLEASE CALL BEFORE BIDDING.  I CAN TALK FOR HOURS ABOUT THIS TRUCK.
  • PLEASE NOTE:  The pinstriping and wheels appear to be blue but are TURQUOISE.

V6 engines will outpace V8s for the 2015 Ford F-150

Wed, 23 Jul 2014

How times have changed. Even five years ago, who would have thought the mighty V8 would be just another engine choice for buyers of the 2015 Ford F-150?
Ford is projecting about 28 percent of the next-generation trucks will have the 5.0-liter V8. That's nothing to sneeze at, but consider this: Ford figures its two EcoBoost truck engines - the new 2.7-liter V6 and the existing 3.5-liter V6 - will also each account for about 28 percent of the F-150's sales (56 percent total). That leaves only 15 percent of the pie for the 3.5-liter (non-EcoBoost) V6. The new F-150 goes on sale late this year.

Ford C-Max sales hold steady despite fuel economy fracas

Mon, 09 Sep 2013

Despite the ballyhoo that accompanied Ford's lowering of the C-Max fuel economy figures, the Blue Oval is still seeing strong demand for the five-seat MPV, as Automotive News reports. Speaking to marketing boss Jim Farley, AN says that the controversy surrounding the C-Max's fuel economy figures won't force Ford to change its marketing strategy.
Ford lowered the fuel economy rating of the C-Max after public outcry and legal action by customers that were unable to reach the 47 miles per gallon promised by the window sticker. The new ratings were dropped about a month ago to 45 mpg on the freeway and 40 mpg in the city. Ford offered rebates for current C-Max owners, with $550 going to those that bought their car and $325 to lessees. The issue, says Ford, stemmed from testing standards that allowed the automaker to base the C-Max's fuel economy on the Fusion Hybrid, because they use identical powertrains. The C-Max's less aerodynamic shape wasn't taken into account, though.
Whether Ford's PR team handled the crises perfectly or people just aren't that bothered by a four-mpg drop in combined ratings, demand remains strong for the C-Max among consumers. Ford moved 3,000 units in August, which was a 12-percent jump over July sales. Meanwhile, consumer demand through third-party shopping websites remains strong as well, according to Autometrics, a data analysis company that spoke with Automotive News. While the long-term effects of the adjustments remain unknown, the C-Max appears to have fared well in the near term.
