Hello. I am selling my 1966 Ford F-100.

The truck is about 3/4 restored and is ready to drive home. It's a real eye catcher. Loud, flashy, and fast.

Here are some bullet notes:

* Engine starts right up and runs like a beast. Seriously...it runs like a raped ape. I have to start in 2nd gear because there's just too much power in 1st gear.

* Newer upholstery - matching exterior paint scheme

* I just replaced the pitman arm and steering box in February of this year. The steering needs to be tightened up just a bit though. It's a little loose.

* Truck runs smooth on the highway. It can easily cruise at 80mph.

* I put in a new Edelbrock carburetor (replaced the manual carburetor)

* 4 speed on the floor manual transmission 390CU V8 big block

* 1966 F100 on a F250 chassy

* Long bed with passenger side locking tool box

* RARE factory 4x4 with locking hubs...but the front drive shaft and transfer case have been removed for 2wd only. I do not have them.

* The locking hubs rotate easily

* New 35 inch BF Goodwrich All Terrain tires

* Guy I bought it from in November just serviced the brakes, engine, new air cleaner, new battery, new front bumper.

* The body has some rust spots but overall it's in VERY good condition.

* The body is straight. (The gaps are even on both sides where the tail gate meets the bed)

* Factory A/C blower

* Suspension lift (Not sure hot many inches but it's very tall)

* No rips or tears in the seats.

* Custom roll bar

* Tow package

* Rust is absent or minimal on the "usual" spots that these models are prone to. (Driver and passenger outside feet area by that vent)

* Wipers have been disconnected because they won't turn off. I never had time to figure out why they don't work properly

* The truck isn't perfect...but it's running and just needs some TLC.

Why am I selling it: I changed jobs to stay Stateside and was going to use it as my daily driver. But my local job fell through and I'm back working overseas. My plan was to slowly restore it over the next few years. But since I'm back working overseas...I really don't need this project anymore. I bought the truck at the end of 2013 from a dealer in Daytona. I really only owned it for a few months. I really don't want to sell it but I'm out of the country for several months at a time. There's no need for this kind of project. The truck is currently at my dad's house in Davie, FL. He'll be showing the truck.

Disclaimer: I am listing this truck locally and it also has a 'For Sale' sign in it. I'll remove the E-bay listing if I sell it locally. I am not a moto-gear head. I might be missing some minor detail that needs replaced or fixing. But the truck, overall, is in GREAT condition.

Please feel free to ask me any questions and thanks for looking.

Auto investor Kirk Kerkorian dead at 98

Wed, Jun 17 2015

Kirk Kerkorian, among the most talked-about investors in the American auto industry in recent memory, died at the age of 98 in Los Angeles on Monday, June 15. The billionaire ran the investment company Tracinda Corp. and was the largest shareholder in MGM Resorts International. Kerkorian attempted to use his power as a well-financed investor to push the auto industry in some fascinating ways. In 2006, he used his nearly 10-percent stake in General Motors to push a merger with the Renault-Nissan Alliance. The deal made it as far as discussions, but eventually fell through. Kerkorian also attempted to purchase Chrysler - twice. According to Automotive News, the first effort came in 1995 with a $22.8-billion offer for the automaker, and soon after it failed the company merged with Daimler. Then in 2007, Kerkorian was back with a bid for $4.5 billion, but things eventually fell to Cerberus. The billionaire finished the trifecta by buying up $1 billion in Ford stock in 2008 to make Kerkorian the single largest investor in the company. However, the situation didn't last long, and by the end of that year, he had unloaded the shares. According to Automotive News, Kerkorian was ranked by Forbes as the world's 41st richest man in 2008 with a net worth of $16 billion.

Ford F-Series Super Duty earns Truck of Texas award

Wed, Oct 12 2016

Texans love their pickup trucks, which you already knew. That means the Texas Auto Writers Association and its "Truck of Texas" award is a big deal. And the latest trophy goes to the 2017 Ford F-Series Super Duty. The pickup truck managed to snag TAWA's award at the 2016 Texas Truck Rodeo. The award marks the 13th time Ford's F-Series has been named the pickup king of the Lone Star State. Roughly 70 journalists converged outside at the Longhorn River Ranch, just outside of Austin, TX, for the 23rd annual Texas Truck Rodeo where a host of Ford's vehicles won awards. In addition to the F-Series Super Duty being named the "Truck of Texas," the 2017 Ford Super Duty won the Heavy Duty Pickup Truck award, while the 2017 Ford F-150 with the 3.5-liter EcoBoost V6 engine won the Best Powertrain award. The journalists also awarded Ford for having the "Truck Line of Texas." Ford wasn't the only winner at the Texas Truck Rodeo, as Nissan brought home five awards, including one for the 2017 Titan in the fullsize pickup category and one for the Armada in the SUV segment. Ram also won a few accolades with its trucks. The 2017 Ram 1500 won for being the most luxurious pickup truck, while the 2017 Ram 2500 Power Wagon won the off-road pickup truck award. Last year, TAWA named the 2016 Nissan Titan XD the Truck of Texas, but Ford's all-new F-Series Super Duty managed to keep the Japanese automaker's full-size offering at bay. For the 2017 model, Ford placed aluminum body panels into the F-Series Super Duty's body, which not only shed weight, but also make the truck stronger. Scroll down to see the entire list of TAWA's winners from the 2016 Texas Truck Rodeo.

Ford announces free brake pad offer if customers stop by dealers

Mon, 04 Aug 2014

These days, when you buy a new car, it's not unreasonable to expect a certain period of free maintenance to come along as well. Sometimes this is through the life of the warranty, in other cases a little less. But Ford Motor Company is going beyond those deals for at least one part of its cars. As of now, if you buy a set of Motorcraft brake pads for a Ford, Lincoln or Mercury model, you get free replacements for as long as you own the vehicle. The offer is good at Ford or Lincoln dealers and Quick Lane Tire & Auto Centers.
"We will replace the pads for as long as you own the vehicle," said Elizabeth Weigandt to Autoblog. She did clarify that the Motorcraft pads are generally for models from the '90s or newer. Also, to take advantage of this program, a person must return to the same dealer each time to get the free parts.
Of course, Ford isn't just handing out brake pads to anyone who walks by; there are certain stipulations. First, the components have to be worn down to less than three millimeters to be eligible, and the buyer still has to pay for the labor to install them. If the model is used as a fleet vehicle for commercial purposes like as a taxi or limousine, this offer also doesn't apply; the same thing for racecars. On the plus side, if you recently bought a set of pads from one of the participating locations, you're still in luck. The deal covers parts purchased as of July 1.
