Rust free 1966 F100.  Arizona vehicle.  Engine runs strong and the truck is very fast--until the manual transmission locked up.  It is a NP435 with the first gear granny.  It is now stuck in gear and makes noise. These are relatively easy to rebuild.  The external case is not leaking and it was getting progressively harder to shift gears over the last few months.  I had local quotes of $600.00 plus parts to remove, rebuild and replace the unit at Four Wheelers Supply in Phoenix, Arizona: 602-273-7195.  The transfer case looks to be a Dana 24 divorced style.  In other words the transfer case is NOT attached to the transmission.  The two are connected by a drive shaft approximately 20" long.  This is how Ford made these trucks in 1966.  The benefit is that any car type transmission can be used with out an adapter.  Simply use a short drive shaft coupled to the Dana 24.  I have a lead on a C4 Automatic for the 390 FE with low miles complete with torque converter and a Lokar shifter that can be had for under $700.00 locally.  It was still available when I checked at the time of this posting.


The front axle is a ball joint style Dana 60.  From the lug nuts it looks to be one ton.  The rear axle is either a Dana 60 or Dana 70.  Also one ton lug pattern.  The wheels look to be real Alcoa's and the BFG tires are like new.  The bed has has been sprayed by Inyati.

There is NO RUST on this truck.  As is NONE.  As in it never had any.  It is solid.

The paint job looks good from 6' away but is by no means show quality.  It is a basic low budget paint job but as I said it looks good.

The FE390 runs very strong.  Looks to have some oil leaking from the pan.  I do not believe that this is the original motor.  As indicated, before the transmission locked up this truck was fast.  Transfer case works fine, its a two speed: low and high.

Truck will roll onto a flat bed and engine starts right up.

The front springs have had the shackle reversal.  For put the piviot in the front at the factory.  All modern leaf spring vehicles have the pivot in the rear of the spring.

I am an Arizona attorney and I can be found in the Arizona Bar registry.  I can be reached at 602-616-3375 from 9 am to 10 pm Arizona time.

This unique '64 Mustang was Edsel Ford II's first car

Thu, 02 Jan 2014

You probably had the same dream when you were a teenager. Your sixteenth birthday is coming up, or Christmas, or maybe both, and all you want is a muscle car to call your own. That dream has come true for some, and one of them was none other than Edsel Ford II.
Henry Ford's great grandson turned 16 on December 27, 1964 - two days after Christmas and eight months after the original Mustang went on sale. And that's just what was waiting for him in the driveway, courtesy of his father (and reigning chief executive) Henry Ford II.
The specially-prepared pony car had a pearlescent cream paintjob with narrow blue racing stripes, functional hood scoop, chrome trim, Euro-spec fender-mounted mirrors, a blue leather and aluminum interior, a monogrammed fuel cap... and a 289-cubic-inch V8 under the hood.

Barrett-Jackson 2014: First production 2015 Ford Mustang earns $300k for JDRF [w/video]

Sat, 18 Jan 2014

We've almost become immune to the huge dollar amounts that collectible cars earn for charity at Barrett-Jackson. To wit, $300,000 for the first production 2015 Ford Mustang initially didn't seem like very much money. In reality, though, it's probably about 10 times the actual asking price for the car, and we're pleased to report that 100 percent of the proceeds will go to the Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation.
According to Ford, the car's winning bidder will get to "choose a fastback with manual or automatic transmission, and any interior, exterior and stripe color combination offered by Ford on the all-new Mustang." Power will come from a slightly revised version of the well-known 5.0-liter V8 engine that will produce "more than 420hp and 396 pound-feet of torque."
We snapped live images of the 2015 Mustang prototype that Ford had on display here at Barrett-Jackson, and you can check them out above. The official auction description, along with a video of the auction as it happened live, is below.

Ford EcoBoost successful because of Soviet laser weapons system expert?

Sun, 28 Jul 2013

Mike Kluzner is a man of many talents. Not only is he the software engineer responsible for fuel system diagnostics for Ford globally, he "got his start designing laser weapon systems capable of disabling the navigation systems of enemy satellites" for the former Soviet Union. Quite a résumé, wouldn't you say?
You may be asking yourself the same question that popped into our minds upon reading about Mr. Kluzner: What do laser weapon systems have to do with Ford and its EcoBoost engines? We'll let the man answer himself. "The same process for analyzing key physical relationships works for what we do today in engine combustion, catalyst chemistry and mechanics," says Kluzner. "These are all part of Ford's software engineering expertise." Who are we to argue?
Ford also employs an engineer who previously designed software to detect damage to the heat tiles on the International Space Station, as well as one who's past work involved particle physics, says the automaker in the press release below. David Bell (pictured above right), global boost system controls engineer for Ford, describes the software running EcoBoost as "the secret sauce" that makes the technology work as the driver intends and demands.
