Listed is a very special 1953 Ford F-100 Pickup. This truck has been meticulously restored by its owner and is as fresh as they come. Turn the key and go!

The body has been freshly painted within the last year and has no damages other than a few very minor paint chips. The color is  PPG 'Sierra Blue', paint code 19188. It is non metallic and looks like a truck of this vintage should. During the restoration any flaws,,which were few and far between,were corrected using new metal or parts where needed. No bondo was used. The truck comes with spare parts including 2 older 1953 Ford wheels that can use the original style dog dish hubcaps and 4 1953 style stainless steel hubcaps as well. All window glass was replaced with tinted glass and installed using new rubber moldings. All weatherstrip on the cab was replaced as well. The owner used sierra blue colored 'bedliner' paint to spray the walls on the pickup box and the insides of the fenders. A very thorough way of covering these areas leaving a tough finish. The oak bed has been completely restored with new oak and stainless steel runners. New polished stainless steel bumpers were installed and dress up the truck. While its not a trailer queen, it certainly makes a stunning appearance that would make its owner proud at any show. The interior has been done over as well. The bench seat is black vinyl and has no problems. The dash and door panels are painted the same as the exterior as they should and look great. The dash cluster is original. The speedometer is working but the owner decided to upgrade the stock oil pressure and temperature gauges with more modern (and accurate) after market gauges that are mounted under the dash. As part of the restoration process, the headliner was replaced with and new, original style one that fits perfectly. Even the dome light and heater work!  The 50th anniversary horn center for the steering wheel is included but the retaining clip has a broken tab and rather than risking damage to it, the owner simply replaced it with a horn button for a later truck. So a new retaining clip could solve the issue. It is super clean inside and ready to go. The body was removed for the chassis during the restoration process. This permitted a thorough cleaning which shows in our pictures. All suspension and front end parts are solid and working as they should. The engine, a 239 Ford flathead with the stock 2 bbl carb was rebuilt and has only 100 or so miles on it. It runs very quietly and cruises at 55 MPH easily. The owner has not wanted to push it further but it is likely that it could do a bit better. It typically maintains 40 lbs. of oil pressure and runs at about 160-165 degrees. It has never overheated since restoration.  It has a 3 speed column shifted.transmission that shifts smoothly. All brake components were re-done and all new wiring, bumper to bumper, was installed. The truck will come with some extra parts such as the 2 wheels and 4 new hubcaps, a fresh air heater, and the side step plates in our pictures. This is a great opportunity to own a freshly restored, classic For F-100 Pickup. 1953 was an iconic year for Ford and this truck epitomizes the style and utility that Ford set out to do with their truck lines and still do.

Ford sued over alleged 3.5-liter EcoBoost defects

Thu, 16 May 2013

Three Ford owners from Ohio have filed a lawsuit against the automaker over defects that they allege exist within the company's twin-turbocharged 3.5-liter V6 EcoBoost engine. Automotive News reports that the lawsuit claims the engine "contained serious latent design, manufacturing, or assembly defects." Those defects, the suit claims, cause the vehicle to shake, misfire and lose power quickly.
Two of the plaintiffs, a married couple, own a 2010 Ford Taurus SHO, and allege they experienced a loss of power and stalling, while the third, an F-150 owner, claims he lost power while accelerating. In addition to the Taurus SHO and F-150, the 3.5-liter V6 EcoBoost engine is also available in the Ford Flex, Explorer Sport and Lincoln MKT and MKS. Other three- and four-cylinder EcoBoost engines are not included in the suit. There have been no recalls associated with 3.5-liter V6 engine, and the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration is currently not investigating the matter.
The plaintiffs, however, claim Ford has known about the problem, citing several technical service bulletins issued to dealers of the F-150 that suggest possible fixes. Ford had no comment for Automotive News, saying that it's yet to review the lawsuit, which was filed last Friday in Columbus, OH.

Ford to add Android Auto and CarPlay to 2016 SYNC 3 cars via update

Fri, May 19 2017

Ford is updating a large number of 2016 model year cars equipped with SYNC 3 infotainment software, adding Android Auto and CarPlay to the vehicles with a free, over-the-air update via Wi-Fi, or using either USB or going through their dealer. The upgrade will be available for around 800,000 vehicles in total, giving a huge number of Ford car owners the chance to get big infotainment improvements without having to buy a newer model car. The OTA update option is also a big step for Ford – it's the company's first for software ever, and it's one of the major reasons that Ford recently hired around 400 new mobile smartphone engineers, the company tells me. For CarPlay, users will still also need to upgrade their vehicle's USB hub to make this work (which will also incur a dealer visit and a cost), but for those on Android, all that's required is a simple software installation. The USB install method is also faster, but the Wi-Fi update option is the start of the company's efforts to really increase its OTA update program, which will be used for security improvements as well as infotainment bumps. Even with a dealer visit and hardware upgrade for CarPlay, this sounds like a worthwhile thing for 2016 vehicle owners to do. CarPlay and Android Auto are huge upgrades vs. most in-car software, offering navigation and entertainment options that follow you from your phone to your car. Retroactively offering this kind of thing to car owners is a definite change in tone for carmakers, since they typically use these kinds of things as incentives to get people interested in vehicle model updates. But as data becomes increasingly important to automakers as a business, it makes sense to encourage greater in-car use of devices.Written by Darrell Etherington for TechCrunchRelated Video: Auto News Ford Lincoln Technology Infotainment android
