1961 Ford F-100 Pickup Truck U.s. Air Force on 2040-cars
San Clemente, California, United States
|
I am re-listing my 1961 Ford F-100 truck with a lowered reserve. I have completed the following work: the new headliner will be replaced by auction end, replaced sun visors, battery, battery cables, new battery hold down bracket, driver side arm rest, new Coker truck tires, sand blasted Ford wheels painted in the correct Air Force blue, installed excellent painted correct Ford hubcaps, new lug nuts on all four wheels, new reproduction rubber floor mat, new reproduction chrome outside mirror. I have done some touch up painting on the body to add color to grey primer areas. Included in the sale of this truck are four custom wheels and tires with over 50% tread remaining. I have included a picture of the wheels and tires. Also included are oak bed rails as shown in one of the photographs. I have cleaned and detailed the engine compartment. This truck runs excellent and stops well. You can drive it right now. The steering is somewhat hard at this point and I would recommend that the steering gear box be rebuilt or replaced. 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, 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 and easy restore. 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. The truck is currently licensed 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 the country at this time. 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 winner. I can assist with the loading of the truck. Thank you for looking at my auction and good luck. |

Watch a drone try to land in back of a moving 2015 Ford F-150 at night
Fri, Apr 3 2015Automotive stunts don't always have to make sense; they just have to look cool. Does it really prove anything about the bed lighting in the 2015 Ford F-150 to attempt to land a drone back there while driving at night? Probably not, but Ford Canada wants to find out anyway, because the trick looks good on film. Chris Bacik is an expert at flying drones and even builds his own to use for his aerial cinematography company. As Ford Canada's very serious narrator intones, the question now is whether he can use those piloting skills to land on a moving F-150 in the dark. To make things even harder, the night of the stunt is quite windy. Even if the video demonstrates little about the truck's capabilities, it's fun to see if Bacik can do accomplish the feat.

Ford faces class-action lawsuit for selling vehicles without brake override systems
Fri, 29 Mar 2013A total of 20 Ford customers are suing the automaker in a class-action lawsuit for selling vehicles "vulnerable to unintended acceleration." According to Reuters, the suit names 30 models built between 2002 and 2010 with electronic throttle control systems but without a brake override system. Those include the 2004-2012 F-Series pickups and the 2005-2009 Lincoln Town Car. Adam Levitt, a partner with the law firm of Grant & Eisenhofer says the plaintiffs in the case want "to be compensated for their economic losses by having overpaid for cars that contained defects." Levitt contends that the plaintiffs would not have bought their vehicles or paid less for them had they known there was no brake override system in place.
Ford began installing brake override systems in its vehicles beginning in 2010. In response to the lawsuit, Ford has pointed to research by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration that indicated that unintended acceleration is mostly caused by driver error, saying in a statement that, "NHTSA's work is far more scientific and trustworthy than work done by personal injury lawyers and their paid experts."
Belville et al v. Ford Motor Co. will be heard in US District Court in the Southern District of West Virginia.
Top Gear season 25 opens with a V8 roadtrip through America
Mon, Feb 26 2018Great news for fans of BBC Top Gear: the first episode of season 25 is here. Viewers of BBC America will catch the season opener on March 3, and for the American audience this episode is definitely suitable watching. The episode has been dedicated to V8 sportscars almost in its entirety, as it's been wrapped around a Western roadtrip with a motorsport bias. The three hosts get to choose three V8 sports cars, with the basic idea of finding the best all-rounder. Matt LeBlanc goes for a Hennessey-tuned GT350R, Rory Reid chooses a Jaguar F-Type SVR, and Chris Harris shakes up the pack by selecting a McLaren 570GT. It's a nicely varied trio, with V8 power still showing what it's good for. There are various challenges along the way, just like there should be on a Top Gear roadtrip episode – even if the road surface itself isn't always ideal. But things smoothen out, all the way to a NASCAR oval and an airport runway; the flooded Bonneville salt flats aren't suitable for shenanigans, so substitutes have to be found. The trio also hit dirt roads, and have to evade a buggy-driving Ken Block during a "moonshine run to the border." Fans of Sabine Schmitz will be pleased to find her piloting a chain car racer, which consists of two American junk cars with a Honda CRX chained in the middle. It must make sense to someone. The Star In A Reasonably Priced Car segment has been retained for this season. This time it's the British actor Rob Brydon driving the Toyota GT86, on a very wet lap around the show's Dunsfold Aerodrome track that must be a cult classic by now. All in all, the season 25 opener is exactly what it says on the tin. There's nothing out of the ordinary, but it still has excellent cinematography, V8 roar and some nice landscapes. Classic Top Gear. Cowboy duels, Sabine Schmitz chain car racing, @RobBrydon, a @kblock43 car chase and #TheStig The latest episode of #TopGear is available on @BBCiPlayer now. Outside the UK?
