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.

FBI Seizes Computers, Listening Devices From Ford Headquarters

Fri, Jul 25 2014

FBI agents searched Ford Motor Company's headquarters in Dearborn, Michigan, this month as part of an investigation into possible corporate espionage. Eight devices, along with documents, computers and financial records, were among the items seized by federal agents on July 11, according to documents obtained by The Detroit News. The FBI searched Leach's home on June 20 and seized more than two dozen items in that search, Reuters reported. Former engineer Sharon Leach, a 17-year Ford veteran of company, was fired last month, according to The News, which first reported the story. She admitted to placing recording devices under conference tables before meetings. She told Ford security she used the recordings to assist in her meeting notes. She couldn't remove the devices after meetings without drawing attention to herself, leaving the devices to record other meetings. Leach has not been charged for any wrongdoing. Former federal prosecutor and Wayne State University law professor Peter Henning told The News that using a search warrant, rather than a subpoena, shows the FBI suspects more employees could be implicated. "If it's an economic espionage case or trade-secrets case, that rarely involves one individual," Henning told The Detroit News. "So the concern is if you send a subpoena and ask for recording devices, those things can be erased." Leach, Ford and the FBI declined to comment on the investigation.

GM readying aluminum-body fullsize pickups

Wed, 19 Feb 2014

Ford's extensive use of aluminum in its 2015 F-150 is a big deal. A really big deal. Big enough, in fact, that General Motors is reportedly changing its fullsize pickup strategy. According to The Wall Street Journal, The General has locked in partnerships with Alcoa Inc. and Novelis Inc. - companies that will supply aluminum for the next-generation Chevrolet Silverado and GMC Sierra trucks.
"Ford's introduction of the 2015 F-150 pickup truck was a game changer, and it's the first, not the last, conversion of this type," Novelis spokesperson Charles Belbin told the Journal. The switch to aluminum has allowed Ford to shave roughly 700 pounds off its fullsize truck's curb weight. And while official mileage ratings have not been announced, the weight loss should go a long way for improving efficiency, especially when combined other efficiency-minded improvements including better aerodynamics and new, turbocharged V6 engines.
Of course, aluminum-bodied cars are nothing new. But extensive use of aluminum in a major, best-selling product like the Ford F-150 is expected to kick off widespread use of this weight-saving material as availability rises and cost decreases. The WSJ reports that GM had originally explored the idea of moving to aluminum pickups back in 2008, but abandoned the idea due to cost concerns amid economic woes.

2014 Ford Fusion to get 1.5L EcoBoost three-cylinder?

Tue, 09 Apr 2013

Just one year after launching the all-new 2013 Fusion, Ford is reportedly set to alter the sedan's powertrain lineup with the addition of a new 1.5-liter turbocharged three-cylinder EcoBoost engine. A member of Blue Oval Forums apparently got their hands on the ordering guide for the 2014 model year Fusion, and this 1.5-liter mill is set to be introduced with late availability.
This lines up with other news about the Chinese-market Mondeo being offered with a new 1.5-liter EcoBoost - a derivative of the 1.0-liter triple that will come to North America under the hood of the Fiesta (note: the 1.0 is also offered in the current Euro-spec Mondeo). In the Chinese application, the larger three-pot engine produces 177 horsepower and 177 pound-feet of torque, which is very close to the current 1.6-liter inline-four's output numbers of 178 hp and 184 lb-ft.
What's interesting, however, is that the 1.6-liter engine will reportedly still be offered in the Fusion, but only with the six-speed manual transmission. The smaller 1.5-liter EcoBoost will only be mated to a six-speed SelectShift automatic, and will feature start/stop. This means that while the 1.5 is slightly down on power compared to the 1.6, it could easily improve fuel economy numbers, allowing the Fusion to regain the title of having the best mileage in the segment, likely besting the 38 miles per gallon of the Nissan Altima. Currently, the Fusion 1.6 is rated at 23 mpg city and 36 mpg highway.
