1960 Ford F100 4x4 Custom Cab, 292, 4-spd, Big Back Window complete truck, project, very rare.  Was last registered and running in 2006.  Former Department of Defense truck with low original miles.

 

You are bidding on an extremely rare 1960 Ford F100 factory 4x4 truck. I owed a 1958 F-100 NAPCO conversion, and this is exactly the same but the first year offered from the Ford factory as an option.  According to Ford’s production numbers, only 4,334 4x4 fleetside trucks were produced in 1960; it’s the truck equivalent of a 1967 Shelby GT-500 in regards to rarity.  Combine this with the big back window and the Custom Cab option, and it’s even more rare.  I would say this is the Holy Grail among Ford 4x4 enthusiasts.

 

Most Ford enthusiasts say that NAPCO was still building these early models; I can’t say for sure but can say it’s exactly the same component-wise.

 

The original paint color seems to be Aquamarine, a turquoise green.   It is now poorly painted in yellow.  The body is amazingly solid and not rusted out; minor rust bubble areas that would be easy fixes.

 

This particular truck has just over 36,000 original miles (formerly a Department of Defense vehicle), retains its' original 292 cubic inch V-8 engine, and four-speed manual transmission with compound low.  The 4x4 package utilizes a divorced Spicer transfer case in proper working order, original 9" ford rear end, and what appears to be a Dana 44 front axle (removable asymmetrical cover).

 

The truck is complete under the hood less battery, and last registered, running, and driving 2006.  I am operating under the assumption that the engine will require a full rebuild at this point due to sitting, so I’m selling it as a non-operable “project” truck.  The transfer case shifts smoothly through all positions, as does the 4-speed manual transmission.  It still has a good clutch, and the brakes still work.   Not much more to say under the hood.

 

Tires are old but hold air, there doesn't appear to be any bed, floor, or door step rust-thorugh.  The bed has a diamond-plate steel panel that covers the entire bed floor; I don't know if this was added or original.  A small amount  of rust bubbles in each driver- and passenger fender down low, and perhaps some beginnings in the cab corners, although they look solid. Overall I'd say the truck is very dry and mostly rust-free.   Window regulators are complete and in place.  The original tail gate is no longer present, either.  Otherwise, what you see is exactly what you get.

 

The interior is complete and unmolested other than an updated stereo, and a three-gauge auxiliary package added under the dash.

 

Clear title in hand.  This is a rare one and would be an amazing truck restored.

 

While every effort is being made to describe the truck accurately, it is in fact a 54-year-old classic, and therefore being sold as-is, without warranty or guarantee expressed, written, or implied.  Shipping is the full responsibility of the buyer.  I will make myself available for loading.

 

$4,500.00 cash or best close offer. Please be able to pay in full within 3 days of auction end via Bank of America deposit, or bank wire transfer.

Guess which brand's not on a top 10 list of best EVs (hint: it's Tesla)

Thu, Jun 22 2023

Few surprises lurk in Autotrader’s list of its 10 best electric vehicles of 2023, but there is one that stands out: no Teslas. There's Hyundais and Kias, Porsches and Fords, a BMW and a Nissan. But Â… no Teslas. Although many of us admit to being over-Musked and tired of reading about him, the lack of a Tesla model on a selection of the 10 most desirable current EVs is conspicuous by its absence. Asked about this particular omission, we received this rather vague response from Autotrader spokesperson Brenna Buehler at Cox Automotive: “Tesla models were included in consideration but didnÂ’t get sufficiently high scores by the Editorial team to qualify for the top 10.” At least some Tesla offerings appeared to meet all the requirements set by the website. The manufacturers must offer 2023 model year vehicles, and they have to be sold in at least 15 states. Check. Only pure EVs were allowed on the list; there are no hybrids, plug-in hybrids or hydrogen fuel-cell vehicles. Check. The base manufacturer's suggested retail price must be less than $100,000. Check. Let the debates begin. Moving on, it should be noted that two Genesis models, a G80 sedan and GV 60 SUV, are listed, along with a Lucid Air midsize sedan, the Rivian R1T pickup, and the Porsche Taycan. Here is the full list, with the remarks and comments from Autotrader's raters. (And we've included links to Autoblog's own reviews for a deeper dive). The EVs are listed in alphabetical order by brand, so don't read anything into the order of presentation: 2023 BMW i4 BMW reboots its EV approach and comes up with a winner: Whatever you thought of BMW's first run at EV, the i3, it was missing a certain something – it didn't look or perform like a BMW. The 2023 BMW i4 corrects course with a Gran Coupe that our editors agree looks and drives like a BMW. 2023 Ford F-150 Lightning Ford's electric pickup gathers steam in its second year: The F-150 Lightning somehow synthesized decades of pickup truck knowledge with the latest and greatest EV technology and infused thoughtful details and user-friendly features. 2023 Genesis Electrified G80South Korea's luxury brand shows how to elevate the executive EV sedan without breaking the bank: Genesis, Hyundai's luxury offshoot, rethought the gasoline-powered luxury sedan, the G80, and developed the 2023 Genesis Electrified G80. Precisely as the name hints, the Electrified G80 replaces the G80's engine with an all-wheel-drive EV powertrain.

Ford confirms launch of new Tourneo vans and Ecosport in Europe for Geneva

Sun, 24 Feb 2013

We've already seen plenty of what the Geneva Motor Show will have in store for us in less than two weeks, but most of the confirmed debuts that were announced so far have generally been luxury or performance cars. Ford, on the other hand, will be showing off a couple of its new family-friendly models for European buyers to enjoy.
On the larger side of things, the full range of Tourneo vans (shown above) will be on display, including the introduction of the new Tourneo Courier model, but Ford will also be showing off the all-new EcoSport crossover, which is based on the automaker's Global B platform and will be positioned beneath the Kuga, better known here as the Escape. The subcompact EcoSport was originally unveiled at the Beijing Motor Show last April.

2015 Mustang-based Saleen S302 to boast as much as 640 hp

Tue, 23 Sep 2014

The Ford Mustang is obviously a famous performance vehicle in its own right, but it often works even better as a platform for the aftermarket to upgrade. With the all-new 2015 model just now hitting the scene, the famous tuners at Saleen are getting their improvements for the new pony car ready for the world. After recently teasing it, the specs for its fresh S302 model are officially here, along with a first look at it in profile.
Of course, the biggest question on everyone's mind is how much power the company can get from the Mustang's V8. With the 2015 V8 model rated at 435 horsepower and 400 pound-feet, Saleen expects to bump the Ford factory numbers slightly to 450 hp and 410 lb-ft in naturally aspirated form, or with the benefit of a supercharger, it will rocket the engine's output figures to 640 hp and 565 lb-ft. No matter which powerplant a buyer chooses, there are a wide variety of available final-drive ratios with a six-speed manual or automatic gearbox.
Available as either a coupe or convertible forms, Saleen will offer its S302 in three trim levels - White Label, Yellow Label and Black Label. The White Label is the only naturally aspirated one of the bunch, but it still benefits from upgrades like a new exhaust, limited-slip differential, improved suspension, heat extractor hood and rear wing.
