1960 Ford F100 4x4 Custom Cab, 292, 4-spd, Big Back Window complete truck, project, very rare. Was last registered and running in 2006. Former Department of Defense truck with low original miles.

You are bidding on an extremely rare 1960 Ford F100 factory 4x4 truck. I owed a 1958 F-100 NAPCO conversion, and this is exactly the same but the first year offered from the Ford factory as an option. According to Ford’s production numbers, only 4,334 4x4 fleetside trucks were produced in 1960; it’s the truck equivalent of a 1967 Shelby GT-500 in regards to rarity. Combine this with the big back window and the Custom Cab option, and it’s even more rare. I would say this is the Holy Grail among Ford 4x4 enthusiasts.

Most Ford enthusiasts say that NAPCO was still building these early models; I can’t say for sure but can say it’s exactly the same component-wise.

The original paint color seems to be Aquamarine, a turquoise green. It is now poorly painted in yellow. The body is amazingly solid and not rusted out; minor rust bubble areas that would be easy fixes.

This particular truck has just over 36,000 original miles (formerly a Department of Defense vehicle), retains its' original 292 cubic inch V-8 engine, and four-speed manual transmission with compound low. The 4x4 package utilizes a divorced Spicer transfer case in proper working order, original 9" ford rear end, and what appears to be a Dana 44 front axle (removable asymmetrical cover).

The truck is complete under the hood less battery, and last registered, running, and driving 2006. I am operating under the assumption that the engine will require a full rebuild at this point due to sitting, so I’m selling it as a non-operable “project” truck. The transfer case shifts smoothly through all positions, as does the 4-speed manual transmission. It still has a good clutch, and the brakes still work. Not much more to say under the hood.

Tires are old but hold air, there doesn't appear to be any bed, floor, or door step rust-thorugh. The bed has a diamond-plate steel panel that covers the entire bed floor; I don't know if this was added or original. A small amount of rust bubbles in each driver- and passenger fender down low, and perhaps some beginnings in the cab corners, although they look solid. Overall I'd say the truck is very dry and mostly rust-free. Window regulators are complete and in place. The original tail gate is no longer present, either. Otherwise, what you see is exactly what you get.

The interior is complete and unmolested other than an updated stereo, and a three-gauge auxiliary package added under the dash.

Clear title in hand. This is a rare one and would be an amazing truck restored.

While every effort is being made to describe the truck accurately, it is in fact a 54-year-old classic, and therefore being sold as-is, without warranty or guarantee expressed, written, or implied. Shipping is the full responsibility of the buyer. I will make myself available for loading.

$4,500.00 cash or best close offer. Please be able to pay in full within 3 days of auction end via Bank of America deposit, or bank wire transfer.

Compact SUV Comparison: Specs, pics and reviews of every brand's crossover

Wed, Jul 25 2018

Honda CR-V vs Toyota RAV4. Chevy Equinox vs Ford Escape. Mazda CX-5 vs Subaru Forester. Whichever combinations of compact crossover SUV you're considering, there's probably a comparison test or chart out there to read. Heck, you can even create a three-car comparison yourself here at Autoblog. However, if you want a bunch of that information all in one convenient place, well, here it is. Our mega comparison of specs, features and photos of compact SUV entries from every mainstream manufacturer that sells them. That includes the 2018 Chevrolet Equinox, 2018 Ford Escape, 2018 GMC Terrain, 2018 Honda CR-V, 2018 Hyundai Tucson, 2019 Jeep Cherokee (it's already on sale with notable changes from 2018), 2018 Jeep Compass, 2018 Kia Sportage, 2018 Mazda CX-5, 2018 Mitsubishi Eclipse Cross (none of Mitsu's SUVs are perfect fits for this segment, so we deemed the MEC the most competitive fit), 2018 Nissan Rogue, 2018 Subaru Forester, 2018 Toyota RAV4 and 2018 Volkswagen Tiguan. We can update this comparison as more information about 2019 models is released, most notably the Forester and RAV4. Now, there are certainly some models that are smaller (Nissan Rogue Sport) or larger (Kia Sorento) that could also be considered, but we figured it was wise to stick with those in this sweet spot of comparable size and price. We also included links to Autoblog reviews, buying guides and smaller comparisons. Engines and Transmissions With rare exception, this segment features four-cylinder power. Sometimes it's turbocharged, often its not, but standard engine outputs are generally in the same ballpark. Therefore, we'd recommend focusing on torque output, as it's what will make a difference around town or when passing, and weighing that versus fuel economy (the Chevy Equinox, GMC Terrain, Honda CR-V and Mazda CX-5 make particularly strong cases in this regard). Many drivers aren't too fond of continuously variable transmissions (CVT), either, so that's another thing to consider and note during a test drive. As you can see, several models are available with performance upgrades. Besides the Jeep Cherokee's available V6, all are more powerful turbocharged four-cylinder engines. The exception to this would be the Honda CR-V and Ford Escape, as their 1.5-liter turbo engines don't prioritize performance. Instead, they serve as overall upgrades to the base naturally aspirated engines standard on only their base trim levels (CR-V LX and Escape S).

Autoblog Video: Looking back on the 1965 Shelby GT350

Mon, Aug 17 2015

The first Shelby GT350 Mustang came out a year after the first Ford Mustang, a collaboration between the carmaker and Carroll Shelby bent on making the Mustang a race winner. Perhaps even better than the car is Shelby's story behind its creation, when Ford chairman Lee Iaccoca gave him the "impossible job" of turning "a secretary's car... into a sports car." Shelby and his cohorts got that job done immediately, taking three SCCA B-Class national championships. The latest Ford Shelby GT350 is coming a year after the latest Mustang's debut, and it's certainly got the specs on paper to look like a track monster, especially in GT350R form. This year the Rolex Monterey Motorsports Reunion celebrated the 50th anniversary of the Shelby GT350 Mustang, and the Pebble Beach Concours D'Elegance featured the car in a special category. We took the opportunity to look at what makes the old GT350 so special, and why the new one stays true to the legendary name. Check it out in the video above. Related Video:

A closer look at the 2015 Ford F-150

Thu, 16 Jan 2014

Despite having to share Ford's Detroit Auto Show stand with the hot new 2015 Mustang, the brand-new F-150 was arguably an even more important debut. Why? Ford moved some 700,000 examples of its F-Series truck in 2012, making it not only the best-selling pickup truck, but the top-selling vehicle in the US, by a long-shot.
The 2015 F-150 raises the bar for pickup trucks in a big way, with big-time use of aluminum. Because of this, roughly 700 pounds have been removed from the truck's overall weight, making it even more efficient than before, while still offering all of the capability that pickup owners expect. And with a host of engines under the hood, including a new 2.7-liter EcoBoost V6, the 2015 F-150 will surely offer something for everyone.
During the Detroit Auto Show, west coast editor Michael Harley took a closer look at the new F-150, talking to some of the truck's engineers. Have a look at the full video, below.
