This is a very straight, very sturdy, 1972 Ford F-100 Sport Custom pickup. The engine is from a 1991 5.0 Mustang but is carbureted. The carburetor is a Quick Fuel 750 on an Edelbrock Performer intake with matching Edelbrock valve covers. It has a 3-speed automatic transmission with column shifter. A lot of work has been put into making this truck run very solid. Lots of new electrical work including a conversion to a GM 1-wire alternator for reliability. New starter, spark plugs, battery, cables, etc. Completely new fuel system including a brand new tank, electronic fuel pump, filters, and high-quality lines. The baby moon wheels are nearly flawless, and the tires are in great shape. The bed has been re-coated with bedliner to protect it from the elements. Needs some minor work such as a new speedometer cable to fix the speedometer, and to have the Ohms lowered on the fuel sending unit to accurately read fuel level (the current one is made for newer vehicles and gives a bad reading so it is kept unplugged). Even though the body is extremely straight with no Bondo ever found, solid floor pans, and a decent paint job, she's no show truck but she will certainly turn heads as a very dependable daily driver. It has been driven nearly every day for the past two years as a short commuter vehicle and as it sits will have no issues what-so-ever as a turnkey pickup ready to drive. This is one of the nicest pickups of this era on the road in the Fort Campbell/Clarksville, TN area and really stands out. Everyone who has seen it is amazed at the great condition it's in for a vehicle that's meant to be driven and not sit in a showroom. Odometer reads 23102, but it has most likely rolled over at least once. Additional pictures can be provided upon request.

The buyer will be required to pay for all transportation and/or shipping costs.

Payment will be accepted in the form of cash (in-person), money order, or bank-issued cashier's check. A bill of sale will be signed by the seller and buyer at the time of purchase and notarized in the state of Tennessee (if requested) and the title delivered to the buyer upon deposit of the payment.

Ford, GM still doing new business with Takata amidst airbag crisis

Thu, Nov 20 2014

Lengthy vehicle development times make it difficult for automakers to cut and run from the supplier. You might expect automakers to be fleeing any connection with beleaguered supplier Takata in the wake of the company's exploding airbag inflator crisis. After all, with a Senate hearing, pending lawsuit, plummeting stock value and demand for a national recall, the tier-one supplier isn't at its strongest right now. However, years of cooperation mean that automakers are standing by Takata, and necessity may be playing a role, as well. About 39 percent of Takata's business comes from airbags, and seatbelts make up another significant chunk of the operation too, says Bloomberg. The long-term relationships and lengthy vehicle development times make it difficult for automakers to cut and run from the supplier. "Takata has so much product breadth that I don't really see that they could just disappear," said AutoPacific analyst Dave Sullivan to Bloomberg. For example, Takata helped develop the unique front center airbag with General Motors in models like the Chevrolet Traverse and Buick Enclave. Outside of safety tech, it is also a partner with Ford on the adaptive steering system available on the upcoming 2015 Edge. These long-lasting partnerships make change difficult now that there's a problem. According to Reuters, automakers claim it would take a year or longer to set up with a different supplier for replacement airbag inflators. Switching to a completely different part for the repairs might not be a viable option either, because of the engineering time needed. BMW is taking action, though. According to Reuters, the Bavarian brand is working with the supplier to move inflator production from Monclova, Mexico, to a Takata factory in Freiburg, Germany. The Mexican plant may be the source of some of the faulty parts. News Source: Bloomberg, ReutersImage Credit: Jens Meyer / AP Photo BMW Ford GM Safety Takata airbag recall

Martini Mustang is a 'what if moment' gone right

Wed, 23 Oct 2013

Feast your eyes on a masterpiece. This is Steve Strope's Ford Mustang in the classic fastback bodystyle, and as you'll notice, it sports the signature colors of Martini Racing, a livery that's as legendary as any Gulf Racing-styled car. But the red, white and blues of the Martini stripe down this Mustang's middle tell only a very small part of the story, in the latest video from Petrolicious.
What would you guess is under the hood? A 289-cubic-inch V8? Maybe a 302, or some absurd Ford crate engine? Maybe Strope went all Tokyo Drift - he's actually responsible for the "Hammer" Plymouth Satellite driven by Vin Diesel at the end of the movie - and found an RB26DETT to drop into the pony car? You'd be wrong on all counts.
This mad, mad man somehow finagled a Ford-Lotus engine from a 1966 Indianapolis 500 car into the Mustang's engine bay. Yes, a Mustang with an engine designed for a 160-mile-per-hour, open-wheel racecar. That's like someone in 40 years dropping McLaren's 2.4-liter V8 from the MP4-28 into a Scion FR-S. It'd just make a monster.

Ford bringing production F-150 to Detroit with Atlas styling and Alcoa blast shields

Fri, 27 Dec 2013

According to a report in Bloomberg, the 2015 Ford F-150 will indeed be showing up at the Detroit Auto Show next month. It will bring attitude with it, not only in the form of sheetmetal inspired by the Atlas concept (pictured) that appeared at the 2013 Detroit show but also in the Alcoa military blast shields among the display being used to showcase the ruggedness of aluminum.
There's been a lot of talk about the F-150 switching to aluminum body panels (although maintaining a steel frame), and for good reason. The lightweight body is expected to shed more than 700 pounds and greatly increase its highway mileage, but production-line issues and possible delays have been a major focus of attention concerning the best-selling vehicle in America for 32 years, meaning Ford has to get it right. F-150 is responsible for a massive portion of the company's global profits and it will come in a year when company profits are already predicted to decline because of new car launches.
When it comes to dings, the Bloomberg story says Ford wants Alcoa to supply some of the military-grade aluminum it uses for blast shields on battlefield vehicles to help it talk up the toughness of aluminum. Reading commentary on the many stories about the F-150 reveals there are many more little questions about the aluminum overhaul, like "How much will it cost to repair and insure?" and "How will companies hang their magnetic signs?" Answers should start coming in a couple of weeks.
