Up for sale is this rare classic 1961 Ford F-100 pickup. Restored in 2011 by previous owner which included a new interior and lots of $$ invested in frame, chassis and body work. I was told over $20k was invested (mostly steel) but, in all honesty, I thought that was a gross exaggeration and I did not pay anywhere near that for the truck. What really sets this truck apart is the scissor lift dump bed which is activated by hand using crank or hand drill. 


Exterior color is New Holland Red with Limestone trim bumpers and grille. It's a brush and rattle can job that looks great from 20 feet but is what you would expect from close inspection. Still, it's a wonderful driver pickup truck- not a show truck. All tires including spare have good tread and newer original Ford hubcaps for this year.

Three on the tree converted to three on the floor with new trans and clutch in 2011.

Straight Six runs well and just had new plugs with tune-up. New generator, new radiator and numerous other new engine parts. Engine bay is super clean.

Interior is very nice with new bench seat, steering wheel, floor shift and extra gauges. Glass is clear all around and has new seals.

Actual mileage unknown but assumed to be pretty close to the 112,000 miles on the title. **Truck comes with a box of extra parts and a 1961 Ford shop manual and Ford Trim manual.

I bought this truck recently and then a week later found an old Volvo wagon that I had long been searching for. Timing is everything so I'm reluctantly selling and I've fairly priced it to sell fast. Email me for more details or to make arrangements for a test drive prior to purchase.

The fascinating forgotten civil defense history of Mister Softee trucks

Mon, 26 Aug 2013

Hemmings came across an interesting article from the Throwin' Wrenches blog about the intersection of ice cream, cars and civic duty in America's late 1950s. In particular, it focuses on the Mister Softee trucks, which criss-crossed neighborhoods of the eastern US serving ice cream. Looking past the ultra-durable vehicles used - heavy-duty Ford-based chassis, for what it's worth - the article delves into some deeper national-security territory.
See, Mister Softee truck owners were voluntary members of the Civil Defense, thanks to all the useful stuff (potable water, generators, freezers and fridges) that the machines carried with them for serving ice cream. Click over to Throwin' Wrenches for the full run down of how Mister Softee would have stepped in to help fight if the Cold War ever turned a little hotter.

Preposed class-action lawsuit targets 'defective' MyFord Touch

Tue, 16 Jul 2013

A national law firm, Hagens Berman Sobol Shapiro LLP, has filed a proposed class action lawsuit whose presupposition is that MyFord Touch is defective. Specifically, the complaint states that the system - as well as the MyLincoln Touch and MyMercury Touch clones - often freeze, fail to respond to voice or touch commands and have issues connecting to mobile phones.
According to Hagens Berman managing partner Steve Berman, MyFord Touch is a theoretically "brilliant idea" that falls short in actual execution. Said Berman in a press release, "In reality, the system is fundamentally flawed, failing to reliably provide functionality, amounting to an inconvenience at best, and a serious safety issue at worst."
Other MFT issues enumerated within the 41-page filing include problems controlling the window defroster, rear-view camera and navigation system. The suit maintains that Ford is aware of the problem but has yet to submit a workable and acceptable solution to MFT customers. Scroll down if you'd like to read the full press release.
