Original 1978 Ford F100 in great condition. Truck has 103,047 miles on original 351 2bbl v-8 and 4 speed transmission. Engine runs good, and transmission shifts well.

 

Body is in good shape - body panels are straight and fit well. There is one area of filler showing on the right door and a small dent right behind the door (see photo and video)  Looks like someone had a accident in just that door and had it fixed a long time ago.  Extra passenger door comes with truck (solid and straight).  Seat cover is torn on driver’s side (split bench seat has been put in).  Passenger door panel also comes with truck.

 

Floor pans will need work as seen in photos.  Included in auction are some original donor floor pans (see photos)

 

Dash pad is in pretty good shape, one very small crack.

 

Gas gauge still works well.

 

Truck was built at Norfolk, Virginia and factory color is Dark Brown Metallic with custom pinstripes.

 

This 1978 Ford Truck has numbers matching motor (351 V-8) and 4 speed manual transmission.  The truck with power steering and power brakes (both work good).  The undercarriage is in good shape, surface rust only.

 

 Truck comes with restored factory wheels and brand new white letter tires.

This truck is an excellent candidate for a customized truck that needs little body work and little mechanical work.

 

Please ask any questions for more information and if needed, more pictures.  This is a 36 year old truck that has never been restored.  It has very solid original sheet metal.  The paint still has a decent shine to it.

Mysterious small Ford spied in Germany

Sat, 29 Jun 2013

Our spy photographers have just popped off a few shots of something curious. This little runabout was spotted in Germany out testing with a current-generation Ford Fiesta. We're fairly confident the machine is a Ford, but exactly which Ford model is up for debate. The hatchback could be the next-generation Ka, but we've also heard that the Blue Oval supermini might not get a replacement. Our shooter says the five-door is a bit smaller than the current Fiesta, though there is a chance that this rig is just an engineering mule for drivetrain development. Then again, it could be a model built specifically for the South African market or China, or not a Ford at all.
Whatever it is and wherever it's headed, you can check out in the gallery for a closer look before heading into Comments to weigh in with your best guess.

2014 Ford Cobra Jet announced with new colors, parachute mount

Fri, 22 Mar 2013

Ford's drag-strip-ready Mustang Cobra Jet is back for 2014, and it's sporting a few changes to make it even better - both in competition and while sitting still. Rolling off the assembly line ready for duty in the NHRA Stock or Super Stock classes, production of the 2014 Cobra Jet is limited to just 50 units.
Racing upgrades for 2014 include the addition of a new three-speed transmission and a parachute mount, and while these will make the car better in the quarter mile, the Cobra Jet's new colors will make it look better tearing down the track. Buyers can now get their racecars painted up in Gotta Have-It Green or a custom, Cobra Jet-exclusive matte black hue. Ford and Ford Racing have already teamed up to make this an incredible factory drag racer with a full rollcage, massive Hoosier slicks, a race-tuned suspension setup and a supercharged 5.0-liter V8. Now, if only wheelie bars came standard...
Unlike the confusing third-party ordering system announced for the COPO Camaro, all you need to snatch up a 2014 Cobra Jet is $97,990 and good timing (as the cars will be sold on a first-come, first-served basis). Ordering opens up next month with production commencing in July. Check out the press release below.

Project Ugly Horse alive and kicking at Road & Track

Thu, 29 Aug 2013

The hallways of the Autoblog campus are much quieter now that Zach Bowman has taken his prose, along with his welders, wrenches and hammers, over to the digital pages of Road & Track, but that doesn't mean our favorite project Mustang is gone forever. Project Ugly Horse is still coming along, and Zach has gifted us another update on his unfoxy Fox Body.
Last we saw of the Ugly Horse, Zach was strengthening up the '89 Mustang's chassis as he prepares to stuff the turbocharged, direct-injected EcoBoost engine of a Ford Focus ST under the hood. First things first, the old mill must go. Head on over to Road & Track to catch the latest chapter of Project Ugly Horse.
