This is a Great Truck for a Total Restoration Project.

I purchased it 2 days ago from a Nice Southern Gentleman in Alabama who bought it to restore but has only kept it in his enclosed hobby garage and not touched it.

I brought it to Chattanooga and dropped it off with my old school ford mechanic. In 4 hours or less he has it running and almost ready for test driving. He replaced the fuel line and fuel pump in addition to adjusting the timing. I went down and spent a few mins today and he said he would be test driving it on Monday with instructions to do whatever is necessary to make it road worthy and safe.

The truck has dual exhaust with nice sounding glass packs (strange as everything else looks stock).

The body is very straight (better than any vehicle I have seen half this age without major restoration) and event he tail gate and bed is Great. It is obvious the was not a farm or work truck. All the glass is in good shape. The chrome bumpers look good, however with a new pain job, I would go for new chrome on the sides (custom cab) as this truck deserves it. The headliner insert and the door panel inserts are good. It appears zero rust in the floor anywhere. The instrument panel display looks great, however the dash pad has a cracks in it. Every item needed to put this truck to a perfect 10 is now available online. The 1966 version is the 4th generation F series (of 10) and has the famed Twin-I Beam suspension. One of my best friends in high school had the coolest 1966 (red also) F100 with a 352 three speed manual transmission and every since I have wanted one.

A major motivation in my buying the truck is that I have a later model 5.0 v8 with Automatic-overdirve Transmission that has been rebuilt that I intend to put in the right vehicle. Just as I was making the deal to go pick-up this truck a gentleman in east Tennesse agreed to sell me a 1959 Thunderbird (which desired more than the truck). My stipulation was that he had a title or current registration as that is necessary to register here in Hamilton county Tennessee. The gentleman with the truck went and register it at my request, so I felt obligated to buy it. Now the Tbird is regiester so I can buy it.

Since I have an F250 4x4 the Thunderbird is my first choice.

I can hardly wait to get the truck home so I can clean it up and be able to show the quality I see here. That will happen next week weather permitting. I will update and add new pics or will sent them direct to serious bidders as requested. I will consider selling the 5.0 and Auto Tranny for $1500 more, but only as a package deal.

Please only bid if you are serious. If you have less than positive feedback of 10, Do Not Bid without speaking with me first.Don't bid unless you have the funds, and or permission from wife to buy. I will try to answer all serious questions promptly.

I will be listing the Truck for sale locally so I reserve the right to cancel the auction at any time.

Thank You

Steve in Chattanooga

Ken Block rally cars go blue in the face (and everywhere else)

Wed, 23 Jan 2013

Well at least we now know why Ken Block "just ain't care" about smashing up his Ford Fiesta rally car recently. It's because he's getting a full brand makeover including a new team name, new paint scheme and even a new headquarters. Formerly known as Monster World Rally Team, Block and his Fiesta will now be competing under the Hoonigan Racing Division name, which is based out of a new 12,000 square foot facility located in Park City, UT.
As you can tell in the image above, Hoonigan Racing will replace the familiar black, white and green paint scheme with a more colorful design featuring plenty of blue, purple and red; the Monster Energy logo retains some of the car's green. The new paint scheme was inspired by Block's love of skateboard graphics from the '80s and early '90s as well as "Miami Vice-era" speedboats.
Block will continue to compete in multiple rally racing series such as Global RallyCross, World Rally Championship and X Games. The new headquarters features office space on one side and a shop for the cars on the other side. The building features plenty of stuff you'd expect from a company designed around Ken Block, including a massive gaming station for racing video games, recycled shipping containers used throughout the facility and a black bear.

Ford Focus 1.0-liter Ecoboost to only get manual trans in US

Sun, 23 Feb 2014

Photos of the 2015 Ford Focus leaked earlier today, but now we're able to tell you more details of the global five-door hatchback. Bucking automaker's troubling trend of ditching manual transmissions in favor of automatics, Ford says the new 1.0-liter EcoBoost engine will come only in a six-speed manual in the US, because, well, American drivers aren't as sophisticated as our European brothers and sisters.
Ford didn't come out and say it that way, but it has found American drivers are more prone to complain about automatics in smaller-engine cars, Raj Nair, Ford's group vice president of global product development, said at a press conference last week. The recent JD Power Vehicle Dependability Study backs up Ford's claims, pointing out that drivers are complaining about rough transmission shifts, engine hesitation and lack of power, particularly in small cars. In Europe and other parts of the world, drivers seem to understand the quirks of these pint-sized engines, Nair said, so they'll have the option to buy an automatic. Ford is working on tuning its dual-clutch transmissions to make them more amenable to American driver's tastes.
Ford will show off the refreshed 2015 Focus at the Geneva Motor Show in early March. The car is due for an update, having been on sale in its current form since 2012. The automaker said it is jamming the car full of new technology - like a USB port that promises to charge your phone in half the time as a regular USB port. Features like Sync and a rear back-up camera will come standard. For a more in-depth look at the car, take a look at the full press release.

Ford to reveal Vignale sub-brand with special Mondeo in Frankfurt

Tue, 03 Sep 2013

Ford says that 10-15 percent of its customers in Europe want their cars to be set apart from regular Fords - even those wearing the top Titanium X trim - and the Blue Oval will answer them with the Vignale sub-brand. The new brand proposes a more upscale look and a much-improved dealership experience, Autocar reports. The Vignale Mondeo will debut at the Frankfurt Motor Show to kick off the new endeavor.
The first Ford to receive the Vignale treatment will be the 2015 Mondeo, a Euro-only model, followed by the new S-Max and Edge. The Vignale Mondeo is set apart visually from other Mondeos by a chrome grille and chrome door handles and mirror caps. Mondeo badging will be deleted - only Vignale badging will make an appearance.
The interior will get a more upscale flavor, as well, with quilted leather seats and door trim and leather covering the instrument panel, center console and steering wheel. A Vignale-badged storage drawer will be installed in the trunk, and in-car Wi-Fi is available.
