1973 Ford (F-11) F-100

Ranger 4x4

Original old school 4wd

Correct numbered chassis & trim. Only 88K miles on box 'A' title. True factory 4x4 model, not an aftermarket conversion.

Anyone can 'say' their truck is rust free. But if it's been repainted then you will never know what the previous owner started out with, how much body work or bondo was required, etc. It might have been a rusty old pile of junk that someone threw a bunch of money and now the owner claims that "rust free". You cannot restore a vehicle 'back' to original, as it's truly only original once. So, it's either a survivor or it isn't.

This truck is an AZ rust free totally unrestored with all original 1973 Ford sheetmetal, paint, trim. Please look at data plate info below and compare to what truck has in it now. As you can see it's pretty darn close.

If you have any questions please feel free to call me Mike at 623-465-0636

NADA average retail $9,200 and high retail is $15,200. I have reserve set FAR BELOW these prices, in fact it is closer to average WHOLESALE range. Someone is going to get an extremely nice truck at a great price.

Original VIN & DATA PLATE shows as: WheelBase -133 (full length long box), Engine -Y-(360 2v), Axle -H2J-(3.50 Limited Slip), Trans -A-(4 speed man. 'New Process 435'),

DSO -75-(Phoenix), Body -034-(Ranger cab Styleside), Color -8R-(Dark Yellow), Model -F113-(F-100 4x4), GVWR - 5700lbs.

I purchased this low mileage F-100 right here in Phoenix (sold here and has been here it's whole life) and have been driving and updating for the last 3 years. 88,036 miles. All original paint, sheetmetal, & trim looks extremely nice so miles may be original. Very slight body damage to right rear sheet metal & trim at wheel well (see photo) otherwise all original and excellent. I believe hood and cabin top were re-painted long ago, but rest of truck is original. Comes with vintage aluminum/wood shell. Trailer hitch with lights. Stereo added. Custom package tray shelf in cab above windshield works great and looks good. Custom headliner (Ford) inscribed with chromed buttons (looks great, very cool old school look). Front chromed push bar with KC lights. Dual fuel tanks both work great with switch & sending units both operational.

4x4 transfer case, hubs, all work great. 4 speed trans. with granny low, and 3 speed (w/neutral) transfer case. Will climb any hill. Ford 9" LIMITED SLIP DIFFERENTIALS were a factory option and are included here.

Originally came with A/C but no belt on compressor. A/C is NON OP at this time. Heater works great, all dash fan, vents, etc. Stereo works great but it's an older cassette type. All original glass is great except windshield cracked over on passenger side (does not hinder drivers vision). Some minor surface rust on chrome front push bar and side mirrors.

Came originally with power brakes and these have been all newly rebuilt. Power steering just added with all new OEM Ford parts. All brakes new with new drums, pads, wheel cylinders, wheel bearings, etc. 4 wheel drum brakes work excellent. Parking brake adjusted. Transfer case rear differential all re-sealed with new bearings, etc. New valve cover gaskets. I have all receipts totalling over $4,500 including new tires. Newer gas shocks. Stock ride height---NOT lifted. Truck handles great and is a very smooth and comfortable truck to drive. You'll really like driving this one.

The 360 2v motor was the most powerful engine you could get in '73. It has since been upgraded with: aftermarket headers, Edelbrock aluminum 4bbl intake manifold, Edelbrock 4 bbl carb all works excellent. Accel ignition works great. Aftermarket vintage Holley aluminum valve covers (these are rare and very cool). Dual 2-1/4" exhaust all the way back with Cherry bomb style mufflers at tips. Not too loud either. Nice lope to cam, sounds great at idle. Engine starts easy and runs extremely well. This is a great running truck.

Vintage American Racing wheels (non-polished), Brand new BFG Rugged Terrain's (less than 200 miles) sized 31x10.5x15's all around. Spare tire & wheel. Bed looks like it had a 5th wheel hitch installed at one time and support bars are still visible on top of bed.

KC lights only one working. This truck is solid DRIVER quality, and NOT a concourse show truck. Drive this truck every day and have a ball with it. Nice enough to take to any car show and get a trophy in the unrestored and original class.

Extremely hard to find these trucks in this kind of condition. Most have been hammered and beaten to death or severely rusted out----not this one. Anyone can take a rusted out turd and throw a million dollars at it, and of course it would probably be nicer than this. But, to find one wearing it's original sheetmetal and paint, and driving as nice as this one does would most likely take years of looking to find again. This is a great looking truck and it's ready to go.

Thieves still love older Hondas and pickups most, says NICB [w/video]

Wed, 20 Aug 2014

No one wants to have their car stolen, but a new study by the National Insurance Crime Bureau has some bad news for older Honda owners and pickup drivers. Fortunately, it has better news for drivers overall. The group is reporting that according to preliminary data from the Federal Bureau of Investigation, thefts were down 3.2 percent in 2013 (versus 2012) to fewer than 700,000 cars. That's the lowest figure since 1967. That's also less than half of the peak of over 1.66 million thefts in 1991. "The drop in thefts is good news for all of us," says NICB President and CEO Joe Wehrle. "But it still amounts to a vehicle being stolen every 45 seconds and losses of over $4 billion a year."
Honda drivers might not find it such good news with older Accord and Civic models topping this year's theft study. Toyota and Dodge can't really celebrate, either, with two models each on the list, as well. Overall, this year's list was split evenly between foreign and domestic models, which were mostly pickups.
The 10 most likely vehicles to be stolen in 2013 were:

Ford profits soar as problems mount

Mon, 19 Aug 2013

Ford is doing well. It can't make enough examples of its new Fusion, it can barely make enough of the aging F-150, it's getting good brand rankings, people like its turnaround story, it's selling oodles of product and its quarterly profit numbers end in the word "billion." As other high-flying examples have demonstrated over the past few years, though, big numbers can come with problems that aren't exactly small.
Automotive News has published a good "nutshell" report of Ford's progress and problems. The Dearborn automaker's optimistic "general label rule" determination of gas mileage for the C-Max Hybrid has led to lawsuits, hybrid software updates, a downward revision of C-Max fuel economy and millions in rebates. AN notes the C-Max was the "worst-scoring model in this year's J.D. Power Initial Quality Study," but Ford will probably be happy that it managed not to be mentioned further in the study's results after last year's mediocre showing. Its MyTouch and SYNC systems, the bugbears sabotaging Ford's J.D. Power results, have also led to lawsuits, software updates, more software updates and a center console rethink. On top of that, the 1.6-liter EcoBoost in the 2013 Ford Escape that Ford called a "hero" was soon catching fire for three different reasons. And let's not even get into the troubled launch of the Lincoln MKZ.
The Automotive News piece notes that industry observers have been surprised at Ford's stumbles because everything has been looking so good. Nevertheless, there is still the issue of those billions in profits - the company is doing plenty of things, plural, right. Ford says it is tackling its problems, hiring engineers and instituting new quality control processes as part of its effort to find solutions. The test will be to see if in a year from now we begin the discussion of these issues with "Remember when Ford...", or "Problems continue at The Blue Oval."

Carfection looks for the ultimate pocket rocket

Fri, Mar 18 2016

If there's one thing we love, it's a good showdown. Especially when it's on video, done by some Englishmen, and involving some manner of performance machinery. Like this latest clip, for example, from Carfection. The team formerly known as Xcar have assembled three very compelling supermini hot hatches: two we can get on our side of the pond, and one we can't. One American, one Frenchman, and one Brit. One cheap, one expensive, and one somewhere in between. They all pack turbo fours, of course, but placed in entirely different packages. There's the evergreen favorite Ford Fiesta ST, the Renault Clio RS 220 Trophy that should have the rest licked, and the retro rocket that is the Mini JCW. And there's only one way to find out which is the best. It's a tough contest, to be sure, but lest you think it all comes down to specifications or which one's the newest, you'll want to think again. Because when it comes to hot hatches, all the electronic gizmos and power boosts in the world can't show up a perfectly dialed-in chassis that lets you hug the curves and feel like you're going a lot faster than you actually are. But don't take our word for it – see what our British friends have to say about it in the Queen's English in the seventeen-minute clip above. Related Video:
