1968 Ford F-100
240 inline 6 cylinder, 3 speed on the column. Short bed truck. Engine does turn over with starter, haven't gone any further yet trying to start it. Its pretty much all there, doesn't look like it has been hacked up or modified in any way. Odometer shows 38689 miles and it appears that may be actual mileage, I have no way of knowing for sure. It had been parked since 1995 based on the inspection and tags. Floor pans have some rust, front of hood, right side fender support and battery tray area all have rust. RF fender is pulled out, got caught on a tree while pulling it out. Bed is in pretty good shape, no holes rusted thru on the floor. The top of the cab has a hole drilled in it for some reason, about an inch or so. The paint looks original w/ some body work being done at some point with primer spots. The patina on this truck is unbelievable, only time can make them look this way. Truck was on its way to the scrap yard, but I found out about it before hand and saved it. I already have a couple of these trucks and don't really need another, just thought i'd save it and pass it on to someone who does want it. Below is a link to many many more pics of the truck. You should be able to get a good idea what you're working with. I have a bench seat that goes with it as shown in pics. I removed it to clean it out and get better pics. Truck is for sale as is. You WILL need a trailer and winch to get it home. It would also help if you had a set of wheels, as the tires don't hold air. Please call or email with any questions. I am located in Conover, NC about an hour north of Charlotte. 704-451-6832 |

Jay Leno and Lee Iacocca reflect on 50 years of Ford Mustang
Mon, 30 Dec 2013Lee Iacocca oversaw the birth of the Ford Mustang back in the 1960s, rocketing the new pony car nameplate into million-unit sales territory in its initial go-round and cementing its place in the history books. Thus, we were immediately drawn to this latest episode of Jay Leno's Garage, in which the funnyman hosts Iacocca for a look at the origins of Ford's most iconic sports car. The legendary auto exec is looking notably more frail than when we last saw him, but if we're being asked around as a video guest when we're 89 years old, we'll consider that evidence of a life well lived.
Serial No. 0001 is on hand for the occasion for Jay's romp through history, as is the historic Mustang 1 showcar from 1962. Of course, the all-new 2015 Ford Mustang GT (in prototype form) makes an appearance at the end of the episode with chief engineer Dave Pericak, as well. Get some, below.
2016 Ford Taurus to ride atop reworked Fusion platform
Wed, 19 Mar 2014Generally, cars get bigger and heavier as they get older. That's why it looks so ridiculous when you park a classic Mini next to a modern version. The same can be said of the Corvette, the BMW 3 Series, Porsche 911 and, of course, the Ford Taurus. In the Taurus' case, though, that size has become a liability, particularly because the big brute isn't nearly as sizable on the inside as it is on the out.
For 2016, Ford is aiming to rectify that. According to Edmunds, the 2016 Taurus will ride on a stretched and widened Ford Fusion platform. Ford is expecting this move to go a long way in trimming the Taurus' ample body fat.
"The problem with today's Taurus is that it is overweight and even the high performance SHO is not really competitive," said a source that spoke to Edmunds on condition of anonymity. The 365-horsepower SHO variant, "actually weighs about as much as the stretched Audi A8 L. Of course, Audi uses an extensive amount of aluminum, but it is a much bigger car."
Ford ditching Microsoft in favor of BlackBerry QNX for next-gen Sync?
Mon, 24 Feb 2014Ask the average consumer - at least, those who follow the goings-on in the automotive industry - which carmaker they'd most closely associate Microsoft, and the answer you'd most likely get would be Ford. The Blue Oval automaker, after all, was at the forefront of bringing Microsoft technology into cars with its pioneering Sync system, and, though reality didn't turn out as such, Ford's CEO was recently touted as a potential future head of the Redmond-based software giant. But that relationship, according to the latest reports, could be coming to an end.
Alan Mullaly kiboshed the idea of leaving Dearborn for Redmond, but more importantly Ford is tipped to be ditching Microsoft in developing its next-generation Sync system. In its place, Ford is expected to partner with BlackBerry's QNX division.
Now, before you go balking "BlackBerry?! But they're finished!" consider that QNX is (or at least was) an independent entity that Research In Motion (as BlackBerry's Ontario-based parent company was then known) just happened to have bought back in 2010. QNX provides control systems to everything from nuclear power plants and UAVs to automakers like Audi, BMW and Porsche.
