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.

Ford finally issues recall for 230K minivans over rust problems

Sun, 10 Mar 2013

The rust issue in the rear wheel wells of 2004-2007 Ford Freestar and Mercury Monterey minivans has finally led to a recall. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration began an investigation into the matter in 2011, said investigation being upgraded to an engineering analysis a year later while NHTSA tried to figure out how many model years should be included in the assessment.
Ford has decided to recall all of the 230,000 minivans potentially affected, namely those sold in salt-belt states and countries like Canada. The excess rust in the rear wheel wells was also able to prevent the third-row seats from locking to the floor of the minivan. To repair the problem, owners can take their minivans to dealers, and the dealers will place new panels in the wheel wells, replace the third-row seat mounting brackets and relocate the latches to an area away from any corrosion.
Ford says it will begin notifying owners during the last week of March.

2013 North American Car and Truck/Utility of the Year finalists announced [w/poll]

Wed, 12 Dec 2012

2012 is almost in the books and automakers are spending December gearing up for the 2013 auto show season, which tips off next month at the Detroit Auto Show. Traditionally, the latter opens up with the announcement of the North American Car and Truck/Utility of the Year awards, and this year figures to be no different.
But up until this moment, we didn't know which six vehicles would be parked ahead of the stage as finalists, with executives and engineers waiting for the winners to be disclosed. Whittled down from October's "short list" of nominees (11 cars and 10 truck/utility vehicles), the finalists are as follows:

Ford recalls 9,900 vehicles across two campaigns

Tue, Dec 29 2015

Ford is recalling a total of 9,885 vehicles in two campaigns. The Basics: In one recall, Ford will recall 9,017 examples of the 2013 Escape with build dates from January 11, 2012, to April 1, 2013, and the 2013-2014 Focus ST produced between May 3, 2012, and October 14, 2013. The Problem: Splices in the engine wiring harness might not have enough compression, and this can cause the manifold absolute pressure sensor to send incorrect signals to the powertrain control module. This issue could cause the engine to stall. Injuries/Deaths: None reported. The Fix: Dealers will replace the current crimped splices with new splices, according to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration. If You Own One: The repair campaign will begin on January 4, 2016. More Information: Ford recalled the 2013 Escape and Focus ST in August 2014 for the same problem, and this is an expansion of that campaign, according to company spokesperson John Cangany to Autoblog. The Basics: In the smaller of the two campaigns, Ford will recall 868 examples of the 2013 Explorer, Explorer Police Utility, Taurus, Taurus Police Interceptor, Flex, Lincoln MKS, and MKT. The Problem: The fuel delivery module can crack, which would cause a fuel leak. Injuries/Deaths: None reported. The Fix: Dealers will replace the fuel delivery module. If You Own One: Owners should receive notice soon because NHTSA's report says the recall begins in December. More Information: According to Cangany, this recall is an expansion of a campaign from 2013 for these vehicles. RECALL Subject : Engine Wiring Splices may cause Stall Report Receipt Date: DEC 02, 2015 NHTSA Campaign Number: 15V813000 Component(s): ELECTRICAL SYSTEM Potential Number of Units Affected: 9,017 All Products Associated with this Recall Vehicle Make Model Model Year(s) FORD ESCAPE 2013 FORD FOCUS 2013-2014 Details Manufacturer: Ford Motor Company SUMMARY: Ford Motor Company (Ford) is recalling certain model year 2013 Escape vehicles manufactured January 11, 2012, to April 1, 2013, and 2013-2014 Focus ST vehicles manufactured May 03, 2012, to October 14, 2013. Insufficient compression in the engine wiring harness splices to the Manifold Absolute Pressure (MAP) sensor may provide incorrect signals to the powertrain control module (PCM). CONSEQUENCE: The incorrect signals could cause the vehicle to hesitate or the engine to stall, increasing the risk of a crash.
