 I have a 1961 Ford F100 Unibody project up for sale. If you are looking you probably already know these were made from 1961-1963. This isn't my first Slick F100 rodeo so let me try to tell you everything I can about it and you can ask questions from there.

The important things..
*IT DOES NOT HAVE A TITLE since in Maine anything over 25years old does not get one issued but I can request one from the state of Maine if your state requires it.
*It was created as an F100 (5lug) but the PO in Idaho changed it to an 8lug set up.
*It was on the road in 2006/7 in Idaho, bought off ebay by PO and shipped to Connecticut where it sat for almost 4 years,I bought it and had it shipped to Maine.
*The front clip is off and disassembled so you can see everything, fenders are pretty good, inner fenders are great, core support is new FOMOCO, and it has a tailgate!

Details:
*292 V8 (turns freely but does not fire)Oil pressure is up on gauge, dist turns and fan turns with the key, just no fire
*4sp manual
*rear end is a Chevy/Eaton HO52 8 lug with a bunch of springs
*front end is a solid axle 1955-1959 series 2 chevy (probably from the same as the rear 3/4 chevy)
*has rust on the floorboards, and on the inside cab wall where the wall/kick panel meets the cab mount (see pics)
*had rust at the roof line but I cut that out and welded in sheet metal before the winter came
*sweet chrome grill and chrome headlight buckets
*comes with new ford core support (see pics), new front sill, new inner fender
*comes with lots and lots of parts- 3 bins worth.
*I have already painted the following
     *hood latch support bars, hood latch, and catch
     *vent doors (air cables both work smooth)
     *heater box (heater core was check out by shop near me and repaired)
     *new shock towers (if you want to switch back to 5lug you will want these new ones
     *mirror, visors, hood springs, and battery tray
     *hood spears and emblems
     *boiled gas tank and painted

As you can see from the photos it is a project, you will want a new hood and a radiator. I can provide the old ones for measurement, but you will want new. The bed is in really good shape at the front where it meets the back of the cab. The torque boxes are in great shape, no holes in them and no holes at the side of the bed that I can find. It will need floor pans, and work on the tailgate. It will also need work on the roof line to make it right, I did it fast to get them covered for the winter as there were huge holes.

*Other goodies include a set of 1968 Mustang bucket seats and 2 new sets of seat tracks, all you need is the Ranger mounting brackets (available in the after market...I'll tell you where)

Please ask if you have questions, all shipping is to be done by the buyer but I can suggest one that I have used in the past

finally, there are 151 photos on another site where you put "photos in a bucket"

GM's Reuss predicts 2016 Chevy Camaro will outperform Ford Mustang in every way

Tue, Apr 7 2015

We aren't going to be seeing the next-generation Chevrolet Camaro until next month. But even though we know when we're going to see the new muscle car, it's totally unclear whether Chevy will dole out technical details. That means we can't answer the latest version of the age-old question: Camaro or Ford Mustang? Not surprisingly, General Motors North America President Mark Reuss has already stated his position, saying he was "very confident" that the sixth-generation Camaro will be faster, more agile and more efficient than the Ford. Reuss made his comments after saying he drove the new Camaro back-to-back with the Mustang the week prior. Reuss' statement came in a conversation with Fox News about the 2016 Camaro where he elaborated on the car's weight shedding and how it fit into GM's strategy on other new models. "There are some really cool things in the Camaro, that are quite different than the Malibu, [and] CT6," Reuss told Fox. As we reported previously, the Camaro will shed some 200 pounds by switching to aluminum and other lightweight composites for some of its components. With May 16 just over a month away, here's hoping Reuss decides to loose some other details on the next Camaro ahead of its debut. Related Video:

Why the 2015 Detroit Auto Show will be the best since The Crisis

Tue, Dec 30 2014

The Detroit Auto Show clearly has its swagger back, and the 2015 edition will be a veritable feast for the enthusiast senses. We're talking serious performance, and it will be exhibited in a variety of forms. Sports cars. Supercars. Muscle-bound luxury cars. They're all set for splashy debuts in January in the Motor City. It's another signpost that companies have recovered from the global economic crisis that gripped the industry from 2008-09. For a while, automakers played it safe at Detroit and other shows. Environmentally friendly cars were important, especially for General Motors and Chrysler that were living on loans from Uncle Sam. Ford, Toyota and other companies generally focused on their best-selling or core models. With a few notable exceptions, recent auto shows have been a bit more buttoned-down than in the past. Boring probably isn't the right word, but austerity has been reality. That's changing. Car companies are making money. Sales are up. Aside from the many nagging recalls – and they are notable – the industry now has the time and energy to make performance cars a priority. That will be offered in hard evidence in Detroit. A year from now when we look back at this auto show, we'll sum it up with one word: Horsepower. But make no mistake, this isn't frivolous. Sports and luxury cars are expensive. They're profitable. They boost images and highlight strengths. With that in mind, here are five significant performance-oriented reveals to watch for when the show kicks off in less than two weeks. 2016 Acura NSX Acura's reborn NSX is a strong bet to earn plenty of votes for our Editors' Choice awards. It's one of the most anticipated – and strung-out – reveals of the year. Think back: we actually saw an NSX concept at the 2012 Detroit show, and Acura has spent the last three years teasing the car in a variety of ways. The slow burn, however, means we know a lot about the NSX. It's will use a mid-mounted twin-turbo hybrid powertrain and run with all-wheel drive. It will also wear an innovative zirconium e-coat paint, a new paint process that Honda says is more environmentally friendly. Honda has also said it will build the new NSX in Ohio, where a large part of the car's development work has been done. The original NSX was produced from 1990-2005 and helped establish Acura's performance credentials in the United States. It was a landmark car and a shot across the bow of Ferrari, Lamborghini and others.

Ford Q3 pretax profits drop to $1.18B

Fri, 24 Oct 2014

Following positive third quarter financial results recently from General Motors, rival Ford took a tumble in Q3. The automaker posted pre-tax profits of $1.18 billion, compared to about $2.59 billion in Q3 2013, a drop of around 54 percent. Net income also suffered with $835 million made in the quarter, versus $1.272 billion last year, a decline of about 34 percent. The Blue Oval blamed the gloomy figures on three reasons in its release: "lower volume, higher warranty costs and adverse balance sheet exchange effects."
There were problems of one kind or another in practically every region. North America experienced higher warranty costs than expected, partially due to recalls. The sales volume for the quarter was 665,000 units, versus 725,000 in Q3 2013, and pre-tax results amounted to $1.41 billion versus $2.296 billion last year.
South America and Europe both posted worse pre-tax results than last year. On the bright side, European volume was up slightly to 321,000 vehicles, from 303,000 in Q3 2013. The Middle East and Africa also lost $15 million, but that was an improvement compared to the $25 million loss previously experienced in this region.
