1973 F-100 351m V8 Longbed Nice! Ford Bahama Blue on 2040-cars
Limestone, Tennessee, United States
|
Welcome to this auction for my 1973 Ford F-100! This truck is a real looker - it gets lots of comments and "thumbs up" from passer-by Ford Truck fans.
Along with its good looks, it also is an excellent driver. It has a 351M engine (not original) and an automatic transmission. It runs down the road nice, the engine stays cool and the transmission shifts strong. I recently drove it 500 miles pulling a car hauler (see last pic) and it did great! In fact, the only reason I'm selling the truck is because I bought a '66 Mustang Fastback GT - too many toys in the garage. I had the brakes completely gone over (new front calipers, new pads, new rear shoes, new brake hoses) just this past spring. The installed hitch was bought at U-haul. The radio works but there are currently no speakers, it had speakers that were sufaced mounted on the headliner (very 70's) and I removed the speakers and repaired the headliner. There are speaker slots that could be used in the original door panels. The fog lights on the front are currently not connected. No A/C, other than the installed rear opening window! Defroster and heat work excellent. The truck has been garaged and babied. It is an original Tennessee vehicle, and has been taken well care of. NO RUST. Please ask any questions before bidding. $500 via PayPal within 48 hrs of auction close, and the remainder due within 7 days. Buyer responsible for pickup and transportation, although I will help anyway I can with a car shipper pickup. |

Ford gets its Movement on, releases 'Sounds of Focus' tracks
Sun, 25 May 2014Ford has, for at least the second year in a row, teamed up with techno promoter Paxahau and a couple of artists to make music in recognition of the Detroit Movement music festival. This time, Movement performers Ataxia and Secrets were selected by Ford, and were invited to spend some time at the automaker's Michigan Assembly Plant, which gives birth to the Ford Focus and Focus Electric models.
Now that we know the what, how about the why? According to Ford, "Detroit is uniquely tied to the origins of the electronic music scene. In the 1980's variations of electronic music stemmed from inspirations of industry, including the automotive sector." So, there you go. If you're interest is piqued, feel free to read the press release, watch the video and listen to the tracks below.
Fallon picks Ford F-150 King Ranch, launches dealership contest
Tue, 01 Apr 2014New truck! Jimmy Fallon of The Tonight Show has been searching for the perfect new truck for a few weeks now, soliciting help from all corners in the process. Last night, Fallon made the announcement that the Ford F-150 King Ranch - in all of its cowboy glory - had been picked as his big winner.
To add some more spice to a storyline that now dips deeply into the realm of the advertorial, Fallon also announced a contest to see which Ford dealership would get the privilege of selling him the King Ranch. Dubbed "Fingers on a 4x4" The Tonight Show has invited 10 dealer reps from around the country to keep their hands on Jimmy's F-150 for as long as possible. Last salesperson standing wins.
Watch Fallon make his pick and introduce the dealer reps below, and be sure to click on the second video for a live-streaming feed of Fingers on a 4x4 in action (the contest seems to be going strong).
EPA says fuel economy test for hybrids is accurate
Mon, 26 Aug 2013
The EPA says it stands behind its fuel economy test for hybrid vehicles following controversy about the testing process after Ford C-Max Hybrid customers and automotive journalists alike struggled to achieve 47 miles per gallon, the advertised mpg number, Automotive News reports. Ford responded to the issue almost two weeks ago by claiming that a 1970s-era EPA general label rule was responsible for the inaccurate mileage numbers, rerating the C-Max Hybrid's mpg numbers and offering customers rebates. Ford later said it didn't overstate the C-Max Hybrid's fuel economy and that it was surprised by the low numbers.
Ford technically didn't do anything wrong because it was following the general label rule, but agency regulator Christopher Grundler says the automaker was exploiting a loophole when it came up with the hybrid C-Max numbers, and that the testing process remains accurate. The general label rule allows vehicles that use the same engine and transmission and are in the same weight class to share fuel economy numbers, but it doesn't take into account other factors such as aerodynamic efficiency, which affects hybrids more drastically than non-hybrid vehicles. Ford originally used the Fusion Hybrid economy figures for the C-Max Hybrid and claimed the engineers didn't realize that its aerodynamic efficiency would affect fuel economy as much as it did.
