1965 Custom Cab Twin I Beam Truck on 2040-cars
Concord, California, United States
|
I purchased this truck off ebay a little over a year ago and have done nothing but drive it and collect stuff to make it better. Its a California made truck, off the assembly line in San Jose, Ca. Someone has added a nice 1968 351 Cleveland and 2 speed automatic transmission (on the floor) from a mustang. I haven't touched it except to add a new battery and alternator. It runs good, I run around town with it on weekends, takes a couple of cranks to start but once started it runs smooth and doesn't smoke. It steers good, has power steering and power brakes, brakes good. This is the custom cab version with inset dash gauges, side tool box, etc. I was going to buy a harness for engine and redo it since it was originally a 6 cyl 6 volt system I'm guessing. The truck has an electric fan for radiator, I am including a brand new electric fan with truck, I found that the fan that's on it is back wards and pushes air forward, my plan was to install new fan with new radiator, or basically what I'm saying this truck is totally worth fixing up. It appears that the original color was red. here's what I purchased that will go with it: original 1965 mechanic manual (thick), spare battery (new), original in the box front grill with no damage (there are no after market grills for 65 ford only 1966 ford, production stopped in sept 1965 and the converted to 66 grills), new front bumper and all mounting hardware, new FORD emblems for just above grill, new hood ornament, original blinker lenses and bezels, new head lights and bezels, new door panels (black), new arm rests (black), the kick panels have speakers in them so I go two original panels that need to be painted and installed. There are many other items stored away in my garage, everything for it will be yours. Dual Exhaust appears to be new. This truck is fully registered and insured to me, pink slip in hand, with my name on it. There will be no issues with sell. The guy I bought it from wasn't so honest about that! he also took the gas pedal and put stock one back on, so the one pictured (foot) isn't there. This engine has a very very small leak somewhere, never looked but its barely left a stain in my driveway. I have driven it from san leandro to concord many times to work and bought it in tracey ca, drove it home without issue. I'm getting married and need money to pay for it. I don't want lookie lou's, if your not serious buyer please don't contact me. |

Ford predicts it will finish 2013 as top-selling US brand
Mon, 30 Dec 2013Ford is ready to call the ball on its 2013 sales totals, predicting a first-place finish for units sold in the US for a single brand. The company anticipates selling more than 2.4 million vehicles when all vehicle sales over the last 12 months have been tallied, repeating the victory it trumpeted over Toyota last year.
According to Ford's accounting, it sold 329,677 more vehicles than did Toyota in 2012. This year, the Blue Oval expects that margin to grow; through the end of November, Ford says it has outsold Toyota by 396,041 units.
Retail sales of Ford products are projected to exceed 1.7 million units for 2013 (the best retail result in 6 years for the company), with passenger cars accounting for 600k of that total. The redesigned Fusion is expected to crest the 290k mark, and the Fiesta is said to be ready to hit a model-record of 70k-plus. Meanwhile, utility vehicles and trucks are still paying a lot of bills in Dearborn, with the new Escape racking up an expected 300k sales and F-Series trucks chugging along at 688,810 units sold thru November.
Ford investing $500M in engine plant for 2.7L EcoBoost production
Sun, 30 Mar 2014Ohio is a hot area for Ford at the moment with the announcement just a few weeks ago that production of the next-generation F-650/F-750 medium-duty trucks would move from Mexico to the Ohio Assembly Plant in Avon Lake, Ohio. Now, Ford is investing $500 million to hire 300 workers at its Lima Engine Plant in Lima, Ohio, to add production of the twin-turbo 2.7-liter EcoBoost V6 for the 2015 F-150.
The latest investment will be used to add a new flexible engine assembly system and renovate 700,000 square feet of the plant for machining and assembly areas. The Lima factory already builds Ford's 3.5-liter and 3.7-liter Duratec V6 engines. The plant opened in 1957, and it's on track to build its 40 millionth engine later this year.
Ford claims that the 2.7-liter EcoBoost will offer V8 performance with better efficiency in the F-150. It comes standard with intelligent stop/start that doesn't activate when the truck is towing or in four-wheel drive, and it's made from a combination of compacted graphite iron and aluminum for low weight and high strength. The company says that V6 engines have already proven popular in the F-150 with 57 percent of trucks in 2014 being equipped with either the naturally aspirated 3.7-liter or turbocharged 3.5-liter EcoBoost engines.
Evo grabs Ford's Fiesta R5 rally car by the scruff
Wed, 04 Sep 2013Evo and host Henry Catchpole were thinking of excuses reasons to borrow the bonkers Ford Fiesta R5 rally car for a day or two, when it struck them: the car is street legal. With access to the R5, some of the world's most beautiful driving roads in the English Lake Country nearby, and a handy video crewing hanging around, the plan seemed to write itself.
Based on the resulting video, it was a good plan. Without spoiling the video for you - something we can't really do in text as the best part is listening to the rally car run - Catchpole finds the Fiesta to be sublimely quick and massively satisfying. Even taking the car for a spin on a pseudo rally stage, after leaving the English countryside, does nothing but add to his assessment of the beastly little Ford. Scroll on below to see for yourself, and enjoy the ride.
