Ford F-100 / F100 Pickup - Classic, Clean, Every-day Driving Condition on 2040-cars
Evergreen, Colorado, United States
This is a rare find for someone who loves classic trucks, and doesn't just want to keep them in the garage but enjoys a truck that drives every day. I bought this for my 16-year old daughter about a year ago. When I bought it, it was in good running condition but needed a little work to get it to a comfortable, safe, every-day vehicle. When I started doing work on it, I let her drive my late model F-250, and she loves my big truck so much she wants to keep driving it, and I've enjoyed driving this 1964 F-100 so much I commute up and down I-70 every day, and never had a problem. My wife's parents recently gave us their used SUV, and (to my regret) the old '64 is one extra vehicle than we need. I've kept records of every part, repair and service over the past year. First here's the overall description of the truck you're bidding on: - 1964 Ford F-100 short bed - Great-working 4-wheel drive - a rare and valuable find on a truck of this vintage - with manual locking hubs - Re-built upon a 1983 Ford F-150 drive train, chassis and engine - Front disc brakes - Power steering - Edelbrock 305 V-8 engine, 4-barrel carb, automatic transmission - in disclosure, I really have no idea how many miles are on the engine - it leaks a little oil (but doesn't burn it), and runs great - Dual exhaust with glass packs - Super clean exterior re-painted with the original factory color of the truck in Ford Green - No notable rust - 15-inch custom wheels enhancing the truck's stance and retaining the classic looks - Gas tank moved from original position (behind the bench seat) and mounted between the frame rails under the bed (seems safer to me!) - Newer (however used - from an F-150 salvage) side-mounted mirrors for better visibility - After-market stereo with CD player and speakers (I have them wired in, but not mounted very pretty yet pending a new headliner) - Floor covering in great shape with no tears In addition, here are other minor but important enhancements/upgrades I've made: - Completely covered floors, behind the seat, and internal firewall with sound-proofing and fire-proofing fabric for safety, noise dampening, and insulation (haven't gotten to the ceiling liner yet - will have to be the next owner) - Added "saddle blanket" style seat cover over original bench seat. The seat has a minor seam gap that wasn't big enough for me to bother with, but it's on the driver side - New steering linkage and tie rods - New shocks - New alternator - New high capacity battery - New high capacity radiator - brand new - Replaced door sealing for tighter fit, insulation and noise dampening - Added extra seal to top of doors - you need to shut the doors a little harder to get them closed, but I like it because it's better insulated and lower noise, but if shutting them easier is what you want, they are easily removed - Sprayed additional coat of liquid sealer to interior (non-visible) door panels for additional sound proofing - Welded post in bed to secure spare rim/tire (spare rim is same size however not same style as four mounted rims) - Replaced the seals on the vent windows, plus replaced the hood bumpers to eliminate rattles here and there - Ford F-100 "arrow" style emblems on either side of the hood. These don't match the original "badge-style" for the '64, but I just think they look cooler and add to the truck's appearance - Re-built heater core that works like a charm - including de-frost that works equally well (replaced one of the defroster ducts), ran new hoses from radiator and re-painted core cover visible from inside the truck - Installed a wiper washer resevoir and electric pump, tubing, spray mounts on hood, along with electrical switch on dash - wipers work great - NEW 15-inch all-terrain tires - these have less than 300 miles on them; I hesitated to replace them before sale but one of the others was starting to dry rot and I felt better about selling it with fresh rubber The only disclosures I'd make to be sure the buyer of this great truck feels all has been mentioned: The original radio cover on the dash isn't all that well-secured. I have it held down with some loose screws and added rubber strip under it for anti-vibration but it would be extremely easy to secure this. There's a small scratch (pictured) on the passenger side. There's some missing knobs - a couple on the dash, the window cranks - but I haven't gotten around to re-painting the dash and putting the fit and finish on interior stuff like that. The hood secures tight, but I notice a larger gap on the passenger side than on the driver side - this isn't a problem, just cosmetic, and adjusting hood springs isn't something I've gotten around to. There is also a light scrape (not a dent) on the front passenger side corner (also pictured). The antennae works, but needs a new exterior rod (screw on type). I've taken pictures of any/all exterior stuff so you can see for yourself. The truck has never left Colorado since I've owned it, and where it will ship from if you are out of state (seller responsible for shipping), and I'm one of those guys who washes his truck every week, and have applied two coats of polish to the paint to keep it nice. This is a fun, every-day truck – rare 4x4 in an old classic like this, power steering and disc brakes and head-turning exterior. If I had a dollar for every time someone left a note on my windshield that they'd like to buy it I wouldn't have to list it here...! Happy bidding. |

Hennessey unleashes 2015 HPE700 supercharged Ford Mustang
Sun, 05 Oct 2014Thanks to the 2015 Dodge Challenger SRT Hellcat there is a new magic number in the muscle car world - 707. To raise eyebrows these days in the power war, a vehicle needs to match or preferably exceed that palindromic figure. The tuners over at Hennessey took a look at it for their 2015 HPE700 Mustang and decided to go one better. Well, ten actually, because they bestowed their latest creation with 717 horsepower and 632 pound-feet of torque.
The HPE 700 Mustang takes the standard Mustang GT with its 5.0-liter V8 and turns up the power a few hundred notches with a Roots-type supercharger running at 7.25 psi. Hennessey claims that this boosted 'Stang can rocket to 60 miles per hour in about 3.6 seconds and cover the quarter-mile in 11.2 seconds at 131 mph. For those keeping score at home, those figures are very similar to Challenger Hellcat.
To cope with all of the added boost, the engine gets a high-flow throttle body, upgraded injectors, new fuel pump, stainless steel exhaust and Hennessey's calibration for the engine management. Pricing for the package is $59,500, including the base 2015 Mustang GT, but the company is limiting production to 500 units for the 2015 model year. Founder John Hennessey told Autoblog that he has already received about a dozen orders for them.
With contract expiration days away, UAW targets GM first for negotiations
Tue, Sep 3 2019The United Auto Workers union on Tuesday said that it would target General Motors as the first of the Detroit automakers for talks ahead of the current four-year contract's expiration on Sept. 14. This year's contract talks between the union and GM, Ford and Fiat Chrysler Automobiles NV are expected to be contentious as U.S. new vehicle sales are slowing and automakers face rising costs associated with the development of electric vehicles and self-driving cars. Rising healthcare costs, job security, profit sharing and the use of temporary workers are expected to be major sticking points. GM in particular has been a target of union ire since announcing the closure of five North American plants late last year. That move drew a wave of criticism, including from U.S. President Donald Trump. Trump has repeatedly prodded GM and last week said the No. 1 U.S. automaker should begin moving its operations in China back to the United States. "We are prepared and we are all ready to stand up for our members, our communities and our manufacturing future," UAW President Gary Jones said in a statement. In a statement, GM said, "We look forward to having constructive discussions with the UAW on reaching an agreement that builds a strong future for our employees and our business." The contracts come at a difficult time for the UAW, as a federal corruption investigation into the union continues to grow. Last week, the FBI conducted searches at Jones' home, a union retreat and multiple other locations, including the home of the union's previous president, Dennis Williams. To date, seven people linked to the union and the automaker have been sentenced in the government's corruption investigation. Reporting by Nick Carey.
Ford tells Congress it collects and protects some driver data
Fri, 14 Feb 2014Last month Ford's Jim Farley made waves at the CES when it was reported he told show attendees, "We have GPS in your car, so we know what you're doing. By the way, we don't supply that data to anyone." Farley and Ford later partially retracted and clarified that statement.
Spurred by a desire for further transparency on data collection policies, Ford representatives answered questions from Congress, specifically Senator Al Franken (D-Minn.), about driver privacy.
The Detroit News reports that Ford told Congress it does collect some vehicle location data in an effort to "troubleshoot and improve our products" on behalf of the driver. Ford went on to say that it only collects limited data after receiving permission from owners.
