This Auction is for my

1965 Ford F100 Truck

She ain't perfect
BUT
She Cranks Easy!
She Runs Good & Strong!
She Rides Smooth!

&
That 352 V8 Engine Sounds SWEEEEEEET!!!!


I fixed the truck up to be a daily driver but it has the potential to be easily restored or made into a Hot Rod!
I'm selling it because I have another "daily driver" now
& I want something else old, to fix up, that can go & play in the Alabama Mud!!



I have the trucks original Operator's Manuel!
The original "Ford Truck Owner Identification" Card!!
& The 1965 Pre-Delivery Service Sheet!

The writing on the inside of the "Operator's Manuel" says the Truck was purchased from
Ralph Collins Ford - Albertville, Alabama.

I purchased the truck in Alabama & I live in Alabama,
so it is likely this truck has been southern owned & in Alabama its whole life!


The Truck is covered in its original chrome.
 Best I can tell only two piece of chrome need work.
The tail gate latch handle mounting plate is rusted &
the Chrome piece for the center of the steering wheel is not attached.
(But I do have the Steering Wheel Piece)


  • All of the gauges work, Gas, Speed O, Mileage...
  • The wipers work  & have new blades installed.
  •  The Tail lights & Brake Lights work.
  • One Tail light lens is damaged & will need to be replaced, but the light works fine.
  • The Blinkers do not work, the stick is there, but when
we opened it up to repair them we found the "guts" had been removed.
  •   The headlights work on dim & they shine bright enough,
that it has not prevented me from driving the truck at night.

When I purchased the truck it had been neglected for a few years.
It was running but needed some TLC.
  • So I Took out the gas tank, cleaned, repaired, repainted & reinstalled it.
  • While I had the seat and tank out, I Pulled out the original floor liner, repaired it & re-coated.
  • I also Cleaned the cab floor, sprayed it with a rust preventive coating,
  • re-painted it & re-installed the original floor liner.

The seat cushion is in good shape but the cover was not.
I covered the foam and stabilized it with tape, so it would be comfortable
 but could still be recovered later. I installed a seat cover.

All of its glass in the truck is in good shape.
The windshield has a "road bruise" that is about 1/2 inch *See photo

The windows roll up and down.
The doors will lock but only the drivers door will unlock from the outside.

The doors shut good and tight.

The tail gate opens and closes easy.

The cig. lighter works!!  (who can live without a place to charge there cell phone, Right?)
The lighter is not shown in the photos but it is tucked away in the ashtray.

The Ashtray & Glove Box open & close easily.

The original radio is installed but the antenna is not hooked up, so I have not messed with it.

The original sun visors are in good shape.

The truck has its side mirrors and rear view mirrors in place.

The interior light works.

The head liner is missing but the side pieces are installed.
 
The trim and clips for the headliner are still in place.

The door panel covers are missing but all the trim and clips are still in place.
(Price those trim pieces on Ebay & you'll see what a good thing it is that those are still installed!)


The truck does have some surface rust but I have found no rust holes in need of repair.
My mechanic said the underside looked good as well.

Overall the body is in good shape for its age.
The drivers fender has a clean split at the bottom,
The passenger fender has a small dent.
The tail gate has a dent.
There is a long scratch in the paint on the passenger side bed there are various scratches and flaking paint.
It appears the truck had a DIY paint job at some point.
So look at the photos and you be the judge!

The radius arm bushings were replaced & the truck was fitted with new shocks,
so for a '65 she rides nice, now!

The carb was cleaned, new points installed and the timing adjusted.
The truck cranks up easy and the 352 V8 sounds soooo.... good!

AND
RUNS GREAT!!


This truck has some serious get up & go and is a lot of fun to drive!!

All four tire on the truck are NEW!
They were purchased in June of this year.
The spare tire is not new.

The truck does not have power steering but it steers and handles well for me
& I'm a girl!

The truck is 3 speed on the column.
The truck is geared low and will usually pull a hill without downshifting.
The truck will git up and go in all the forward gears and reverse!


The truck had dual exhaust when I bought it, & I have not had any work done to the exhaust system,
so I can't really tell you anything about it.


I think I have told you all I know about this good old truck, but if you have questions,
please feel free to ask.  You can send me a message through Ebay or
call me:  Thori Brewer 706-506-2982.


The truck is also for sale locally, so the auction is subject to be ended early.

Please be sure you can complete the purchase before bidding.  I have given a detailed description of the truck & provided photos, & offered to try to answer any question you may have.

The truck is not perfect but it cranks, runs & drives, so the only reason for a refund of your deposit & not completing the sale will be if, for some unforseen reason, the truck will not crank or pull its self out of my driveway when you come to pick it up.  This Truck is not being sold subject to a test drive.  It is a 48 year old un-restored truck you are made aware it is still in need of work.

The winning bidder will need to make a cleared $500.00 deposit through PayPal with in 24 hours of the close of the auction.  The balance will need to be paid in cash (the green stuff, no checks) & the truck picked up with in 7 days from the time the auction closes. The truck can not be picked up, if the paypal deposit is not yet cleared.

If the truck has not been picked up within 7 days the deposit will be retained and the truck re-offered for sale.

Call me to make pick up arrangements or email me your contact information.

Ford of India in hot water for Figo celebrity bondage ads

Fri, 22 Mar 2013

Apparently sensibilities in India, at least in the case of some Ford marketing partners, are downright lascivious at times. Case in point are a new series of print ads, presumably touting the vast cargo capacity of the Ford Figo hatchback, that involve more than a whiff of T&A, S&M and other sexy abbreviations.
In all seriousness, the advertising campaign is taking some major heat in the Indian press for being outrageously sexist. All three images - which seem to be produced by a graphic artist with some Heavy Metal work in his/her portfolio - show bound and gagged people stuffed into the Figo's boot. With a tagline reads, "Leave Your Worries Behind." one version features a peace-sign throwing Silvio Berlusconi holding hostage three buxom and barely clad women, all wearing ball gags with hands and feet bound. Charming. Another version shows Paris Hilton ­similarly kidnapping a trio of Kardashians, while a third (tame in terms of the clothing at least), has Michael Schumacher toting Sebastian Vettel, Fernando Alonso, and Lewis Hamilton.
Clearly in bad taste, at least, the Indian source also questions the timing of these risqué Ford ads, as the follow by days new anti-rape legislation passed by the Indian Parliament. Ford has responded in a statement, that it and its advertising partner (JWT India) "deeply regret" the ads, and claim that they "never should have happened."

Fiat boss Elkann being mentored by... Bill Ford?

Tue, 26 Mar 2013

Fiat Chairman John Elkann has been turning to an unusual source for advice on the car business. While speaking during an interview with The Detroit News, Elkann said he often asks Bill Ford Jr. for advice on how to proceed with the turnaround at Chrysler. "It's great to have the opportunity to share this with someone like Bill, who has experienced many things and gone through many things ... especially linked to Detroit." Elkann said.
As the Agnelli family heir, Elkann has inherited a long and fruitful friendship with the Ford family. While Giovanni Agnelli built his first Fiat four years before Henry Ford created his first vehicle, it was Ford that showed Agnelli the benefits of mass production and helped pave the way for what would become the Fiat empire.
Giovanni's grandson, Gianni, helped mentor Bill Ford when he was elected chairman of Ford Motor Company. Now, Ford is returning the favor by helping Elkann navigate the automotive industry's tumultuous waters.

Devils, Details and Weight Reduction
There are many things I could call this exercise. A party is not one of them.
I've spent three days crammed in the axle well of this 1989 Mustang with nothing to keep me company beyond a trouble light, a DeWalt drill on the very last of its legs and billion razor sharp, red hot slivers of metal with an affinity for my most sensitive of regions. My joints are raw from crawling around on the concrete. I'm half deaf from the shriek of the spot weld cutter and the boom of the cold chisel and hammer.
