1972 Ford F100 Explorer Package. This is a really neat, mostly original truck. I have driven it mostly as a "go to the hardware store" truck for the past year. Starts right up and has never left me stranded. Strong 390 V8 engine and a good shifting 3 speed automatic. Engine sounds very good and the exhaust has been dumped near the rear axle. Sounds mean. This truck has alot of options. See below as I think it has all options from package A through D. Some are missing now (hubcaps and bright box rails), but as you can see, came with alot of special package items. From decoding the VIN the truck was manufactued in February of 1972 in Kansas City and ordered by the Dallas district. Golden Rod Yellow paint with Medium Ginger interior and black mat flooring. 4,550 GVW and it looks like this truck has the special "helper shackles/springs" for that little bit of extra carrying or towing capacity. All of the gauges work, the odometor still works and is showing 11,513.4 at the time of listing. I can only assume this to be 111,513 miles. I will say that the truck looks very good for a 44 year old truck. Now, there are several dings and dents over the entire truck and the paint is not showroom condition by any means, but, overall it looks very shiny and in good shape. As you will see in the pics, the front drivers side fender looks to have been repainted at one time and it has not kept the same shade of yellow over the years. Additionally, this truck has AC and it still blows (compressor not turning by belt) but the unit under the dash still turns on and blows. I have the correct belt for the compressor and it will be included with the sale. Compressor does turn freely. I repaired the top AC suction line as it was cracked and I can only guess that this was the reason for the AC not working. I have not tried to charge it since the belt is not on. But, it may be just a belt installed, charge and you have a working AC. Has an aftermarket radio and 4 speakers with nice wooden cabinets. 2 under the dash and 2 in the B pillers of the cab. The seat is in great shape on the top/back section, the bottom section is in need of repair so a bench seat cover was put on. But the top section literally looks just a few years old underneath. Has a set of later model chrome factory wheels with a very good set of Cooper tires. Lots of tread left. Has a recently replaced alternator. All of the exterior lights work. Turn signals work as well as brake lights. I replaced the side marker lights with a nice chrome set on the back of the bed. So, if you are looking for an almost all original truck this is a good one. Most if not all of the trim is still on the truck. It does look like it came with bed top rails from the below article, this truck does not have them. The holes are there but rails long gone. Will need a new dash pad or the old one just taken off as it is cracked. The windsheild also has a crack in it. Windows roll up and down good and the locks work. The shifter on the column is a little persinickity at times but shifts. Looks like the arrow and the letters sometimes don't line up so you just have to make sure you are in the correct R, N, P, or D. Not a big deal but wanted to point that out. Good luck and feel free to contact me if you have any other questions. Will load as many pics as I can through ebay. If you are the winning bidder I require a $500.00 to be sent via PayPal within 24 hours. The balance either through cash or bank wire within 7 days. Clear Oklahoma Title on hand. I will assist with loading truck for shipping in Edmond, OK or will deliver for an additional $300.00 anywhere along I-35 (within 5 miles east or west of I-35) from OKC to Dallas as I travel this route weekly for business.

Ford reveals EcoBoost-powered Riley prototype for Daytona 24
Tue, 01 Oct 2013It's not the first time Ford has participated in the Daytona Prototype class as an engine supplier, but in revealing this new EcoBoost V6-powered Riley Technologies prototype for the new United SportsCar Championship, Ford is making a statement: "We want to show Ford EcoBoost's capabilities as an engine that provides both performance and fuel economy, on and off the track," says Jamie Allison, director of Ford Racing.
In addition to supplying the 3.5-liter twin-turbocharged V6, Ford had its production designer Garen Nicoghosian give the racecar brand-inspired design cues with support from Ford Racing chief aerodynamicist Bernie Marcus.
The car is scheduled to compete at next year's Rolex 24 at Daytona on January 25-26, but before that, Michael Shank Racing is working with Ford at another goal. Driving his Ford Thunderbird, NASCAR champion Bill Elliott set the track's top speed record at 210.364 miles per hour during a qualifying run for the Daytona 500 - way back in 1987 -- and Ford thinks it's about time for that record to fall. What better time the introduction of this new Ford-powered Daytona Prototype? Michael Shank Racing plans to use the twin-turbo V6-powered racer to beat Elliott's record, and it expects to begin prepping for the top-speed run on October 9. Scroll down for the full press release below on Ford's latest race effort.
Ford Expedition, Lincoln Navigator recalled for fire risk
Thu, May 19 2022Owners of some 2021 Ford Expedition and Lincoln Navigator SUVs are being urged to park their vehicles outdoors and away from structures until they can be taken to dealers for repairs. Ford issued a recall covering 39,000 vehicles due to engine fires under their hoods, and it's not certain at this point what's causing the flames to start. According to documents posted on the National Highway Safety Administration's website, "The remedy is still under development." Ford says it has reports of 16 under-hood fires, with 14 of those happening in vehicles owned by car rental companies. The fires can happen even while the engine isn't running. According to Ford, "Some customers have reported a burning smell and smoke from the front passenger engine compartment while driving." The fires seem to be starting "in the rear of the engine compartment near the passenger side of the vehicle." Despite the under-hood fire risk, Ford is not at this time recommending that owners stop driving the vehicles. "We are working around the clock to determine the root cause of this issue and subsequent remedy so that customers can continue to enjoy using their vehicles," Jeffrey Marentic, general manager of Ford passenger vehicles, said in a statement. Ford says the fires appear to be limited to SUVs built from Dec. 1, 2020 to April 30, 2021 and says it has no fire reports from vehicles built before or after those dates. In a separate recall, Ford is also calling in about 310,000 heavy-duty trucks because the driver's air bag may not inflate in a crash. That recall covers certain 2016 F-250, F-350, F-450 and F-550 trucks. According to documents posted by NHTSA, dust can get into the airbag wiring in the steering wheel, which can cut electricity to necessary components. To fix the problem, dealers will replace the steering wheel's wiring. And in a third recall, Ford announced it is bringing in 464 Mustang Mach-E electric SUVs from 2021. A software problem in the electric vehicle can cause unintended acceleration, deceleration or a loss of drive power in all-wheel-drive vehicles. NHTSA documents say that the powertrain control computer may not detect a software error. The problem will be fixed by dealers or by an online software update.
2015 Ford Mustang EcoBoost flogged and analyzed by Ignition
Mon, 13 Oct 2014Aside from the way it looks and perhaps its independent rear suspension, the biggest bit of news on the 2015 Mustang may be the inclusion of its 2.3-liter, turbocharged four-cylinder engine. That blown mill marks the first time since the Mustang SVO of the '80s that a turbo has been fitted under the engine of Ford's pony car.
The Mustang EcoBoost is the subject of the latest episode of Ignition from Motor Trend, giving us a great look at the technical, nitty-gritty side of the turbocharged coupe. Covering it from bow to stern, host Carlos Lago walks us through the boosted Ford before taking to the track for some driving impressions, with particular praise given to the low-end grunt of the 2.3-liter mill.
Check out the full video and then let us know which 2015 Mustang has your interest piqued the most - the EcoBoost four, the 5.0L V8 or the entry-level V6.
