1976 Ford Courier Pickup on 2040-cars
Watsonville, California, United States
|
If you have a rusted out or wrecked Courier, this might be the car for you. It has one of the nicest, rust free bodies I've ever seen on an old truck this age. The orange paint is original and there are no spots on the truck where it's been repainted or repairs have been made. Even the box is in great undamaged shape. I bought it thinking that I'd be able to put on new brakes and tires, tune it up and end up with a vehicle anyone would be proud to own. But, the seller neglected to mention one little thing: the engine is frozen. I made the mistake of thinking that since the truck looked so well taken care of the engine would naturally be good too. Not true. Now I am done with it. All I want to do is get rid of it and learn a little lesson along the way. I am not in the mind-set of pulling and rebuilding this engine or finding another one and installing it. It's not going to happen. I've already refused a couple of people who would like to have me put in a good engine and repost it for sale. Nope. I'm too old and cranky about the whole thing. As you can see from the pictures, this is a rare find of a Courier in such rust free, non abused shape. One person who called was exploring the possibility of putting a 302 Ford engine in it. They say it can be done. The truck was owned by a couple that got too old to drive it and parked it in 2000. It was under a roof most of the time. The title got eaten by mice so I have a bill of sale. It's been off the books long enough for it to be easy to get a new title, which I was getting ready to do, but not any more. I will not do anything more other than sell it. All shipping and paperwork will be the responsibility of the buyer. I really feel bad about this. I've looked long and hard for a Courier in such good shape, and I hope someone will buy it and do justice to it. If you decide to buy it, details on payment will be worked out at that time. |

Ford adds third shift at F-150 plant to keep up with demand
Tue, 06 Aug 2013The signs have been very positive for Ford's F-Series line of pickup trucks as of late, and after 24 consecutive months of increasing sales of the best-selling F-150, the automaker has added a third production crew at its Kansas City Assembly Plant that includes 900 new hourly workers to meet demand for the truck. This the first step in Ford's plan to add 2,000 hourly jobs at the plant to help meet demand for its trucks and to begin production of the new Transit van, the automaker says.
Despite some tough new competition, sales of the F-Series are the strongest they've been since 2006, according to Ford. The automaker sold 60,449 F-Series in July, the best sales figure for the mid-summer month since 2006, which also represents a 23 percent increase compared to July 2012. From January to July 2013, sales were up 22 percent compared to the same period last year.
Ford has committed to creating 12,000 hourly jobs by 2015, and with the 900 new employees added to the assembly plant in Missouri, the company says it has completed 75 percent of its goal. Ford has also invested $1.1 billion to retool and expand the Kansas City Assembly Plant to ready it for Transit production. Take a look at the press release below for more job and F-Series sales information.

First 1K next-gen Mustangs to carry 2014 1/2 model year?
Thu, 18 Jul 2013A new report from Mustangs Daily, citing insider sources at Ford, tells us that the Blue Oval will produce 1,000 next-generation Mustangs with the model year designation of 2014 ½, to celebrate the 50th anniversary of the storied marque. The commemorative half-year designation is a rumor that's been swirling in Mustang forums for quite some time now, and seems more plausible than ever with this most recent report. Certainly it's not far-fetched to believe that Ford will want to make a big deal of the golden anniversary for its most-loved model.
The story (compiled by Drew Phillips, who runs the aforementioned Mustang site when he's not directing the photography on these pages) goes on to say that the limited-run cars will be the first built on the new Mustang platform internally known as S550 (and spied testing in the attached gallery). Each car is said to carry a "special" VIN and build number, though no performance upgrades versus the 2015 cars to follow are in the works. A collector's dream then, rather than a weekend racer's.
