I am re-listing my 1961 Ford F-100 half ton pickup truck with a lowered reserve. This truck was originally owned by the u.s. air force, from dry western states (Idaho) This is a very straight example of an early 60's Ford truck. This truck has very little rust and the two areas of concern. The two areas are below the small steps, on the leading edge of the rear fenders. These areas are not visible from the top of the step, only from below. This should be a very easy fix. The interior front cab corners have patches that look like professional repairs. The cab corners are very solid as are the bottom of the doors and fenders. The other areas of needed body work are the drivers door and the driver side front fender at the leading edge. The photographs show these areas. The remainder of the truck is extremely straight and rust free, including the frame. There are no frame repairs, and the truck tracks straight. The excellent patina is great if you want to drive the truck like it is. All of the military Air Force decals are in place on the outside and on the dashboard. The truck starts very easily and runs well, no vibrations or stalling. Directional signals and brake lights work, but the cancel switch for the directional signals should be replaced. The tops of the bed rails are super straight and in great condition, this is also true with original tailgate, all tailgate hardware is original. The military radio does not work and is for display purposes only. The engine is a 223 cubic inch type with a 3-speed column shift (three on the tree.) I have completed the following work: new headliner, new sun visors, new high energy battery, new battery cables, painted battery tray, new driver side arm rest, new Coker truck tires, sand blasted Ford wheels painted blue to match the body color, excellent newly painted correct Ford hubcaps, new lug nuts on all four wheels, new reproduction rubber floor mat, new reproduction chrome outside mirror. I have a set of nice oak bed rails that will go with this truck. This truck runs excellent and stops well. You can drive it right now. Note: The steering is somewhat hard at this point and should be corrected to drive comfortably. The steering is the manual type, brakes work very well but are not power brakes. The windshield has a small crack on the drivers side but it is not in the field of view. In addition, there are a few rock chips in the glass, but nothing serious. The engine runs cool and the instruments work with the exception of the odometer. It broke a couple of months ago so the mileage is slightly higher than 48,303. Mileage appears to be original, and mostly military miles. This truck could be restored, customized, make a shop truck, or rat rod it. Very straight, very little rust, laser straight frame, would make an easy restoration. Please contact me with any questions you may have regarding this truck. My name is Arnie, and I can be reached at (949) 573-1139. Or, you can email me through eBay messaging. I will promptly answer your emails. NOTE: You may contact me with any reasonable offers on this truck, please no low ball offers. The truck is currently licensed and insured in CA, and has no back DMV fees due. A $500.00 non-refundable deposit is required within 48 hours of the auction close. You may contact me to make final payment arrangements after the close of the auction. Please note that I am only accepting US bidders at this time, I am not set up to sell outside of the US. There are no warranties expressed or implied on this vehicle. The truck is being sold in "as is"; "where is" condition. Transportation of this truck to the winning bidders location is the responsibility of the auction winner. I can assist with the loading of the truck. Thank you for looking at my auction and good luck. |

Subaru Legacy pitted against Roadkill project cars
Fri, 05 Sep 2014There's an evergreen debate among auto enthusiasts about whether they would prefer to have the latest and greatest car of today or a certified classic from yesteryear. What if you had to further define that, though, and the choice was between a brand new 2015 Subaru Legacy or a turbocharged Datsun 240Z with a hatch that wouldn't close? Roadkill aimed to find out that and more in one of its best videos to date.
According to the hosts, Subaru came to them, handed over some money and challenged Roadkill's project cars against its latest Legacy. The result is every bit as good (or better) than any automotive-themed show you could find on television.
Things start simple with a figure-eight race in a rodeo arena with the Subaru taking on Roadkill's 1968 Ford Ranchero, originally built for ice racing. From there the Legacy races a 1968 Dodge Charger with no windows around and off-road rally stage. Finally, the Subie goes head-to-head against the Rotsun, the aforementioned turbocharged 240Z, through an abandoned neighborhood. Plus, there's a bonus drag race challenging them all.
Ford reveals concept trucks that ultimately became Atlas
Wed, 03 Apr 2013The Ford Atlas Concept was one of the quiet success stories of the 2013 Detroit Auto Show, and now Ford has given us a quick glimpse as to how that creation came to be. Designers actually combined two early sketches to build the Atlas. One, called the Bullet Train, is a futuristic, aerodynamic creation, while the other, aptly named the Locomotive, features the squared off proportions we're familiar with.
Once designers settled on the truck's proportions, they began nailing down exactly which attributes they wanted the final design to have. The Concept's notched windshield originated as a forked glass roof that seamlessly transitioned into the windscreen.
Likewise, designers wanted to fit the truck's tailgate with a storage compartment for tools and a first aid kit, but settled on the dual-purpose step/cargo cradle. Interestingly enough, the concept's active aero shutter wheels actually originated in some of the earliest sketches. Check out the photos and slides here for a closer look.
Check out Ford's fully automated self-parking car [w/video]
Wed, 09 Oct 2013As automakers continue to find uses for autonomous and semi-autonomous vehicle technology, Ford of Europe has announced that it is developing a self-parking system for future use. More advanced than the Active Park Assist already offered in many Ford products, the new Fully Assisted Parking Aid can take full control of the vehicle and can navigate angled and perpendicular parking spots.
While today's Active Park Assist can only parallel park with the driver controlling the gas, brake and gear selection, Fully Assisted Parking Aid can operate steering, gas, brake and gear selection all while making sure the car is properly parked in the intended space. As with APA, the driver pushes a button to make the car look for a proper spot (at speeds of up to 18 miles per hour), and when an adequate space is located, the operator pushes another button (either inside the car or outside via remote control) for the car to park itself - the button must be pressed throughout the whole parking maneuver. Even though Ford says that the car can effect gear selections on its own, the system must still start from Neutral, and the automaker isn't saying whether the car can put itself into Park when done or put itself in Drive when the operator is ready to go.
Ford is also taking the opportunity to announce its new Obstacle Avoidance technology. This automated system is able to detect objects - including pedestrians - in the road, warn drivers of said objects and, if needed, stop and steer automatically to avoid hitting the obstacle. Both systems are still in the prototype phase, so there is no word as to when we could see either on a production vehicle.
