I am re-listing my 1961 Ford F-100 truck with a lowered reserve.

Here we have a 1961 Ford F-100 half ton pickup truck which was a former Air Force flight line truck, escorting aircraft on the flight line. This is a very straight example of an early 60's Ford truck. This truck has very little rust and the two areas of concern. The two areas are below the small steps, on the leading edge of the rear fenders. They are not visible from the top of the step, only from below. The interior front cab corners have patches that look like professional repairs. The other area of damage is the drivers door and the driver side front fender at the leading edge. The photographs show these areas. The remainder of the truck is extremely straight and rust free, including the frame. There are no frame repairs, and the truck tracks straight. The excellent patina is great if you want to drive the truck like it is. All of the Air Force decals are in place on the outside and on the inside. The truck starts very easily and runs well, no vibrations or stalling. Directional signals and brake lights work, but the cancel switch for the directional signals should be replaced. The military radio does not work and is for display purposes only. The radio has the control tower and other AF departments listed on the face of the radio.

I have completed the following work: the new headliner will be replaced by auction end, replaced sun visors, battery, battery cables, new battery hold down bracket, driver side arm rest, new Coker truck tires, sand blasted Ford wheels painted in the correct Air Force blue, installed excellent painted correct Ford hubcaps, new lug nuts on all four wheels, new reproduction rubber floor mat, new reproduction chrome outside mirror. I have done some touch up painting on the body to add color to grey primer areas. Included in the sale of this truck are four custom wheels and tires with over 50% tread remaining. I have included a picture of the wheels and tires. Also included are oak bed rails as shown in one of the photographs. I have cleaned and detailed the engine compartment.

This truck runs excellent and stops well. You can drive it right now. The steering is somewhat hard at this point and I would recommend that the steering gear box be rebuilt or replaced. The windshield has a small crack on the drivers side but it is not in the field of view. In addition, there are a few rock chips in the glass, nothing serious. The engine runs cool and the instruments work with the exception of the odometer. It broke a couple of months ago so the mileage is slightly higher than 48,303. Mileage appears to be original and mostly military miles.

This truck could be restored, customized, make a shop truck or rat rod it. Very straight and easy restore.

Please contact me with any questions you may have regarding this truck. My name is Arnie and I can be reached at (949) 573-1139.

The truck is currently licensed in CA and has no back DMV fees due.

A $500.00 non-refundable deposit is required within 48 hours of the auction close. You may contact me to make final payment arrangements after the close of the auction.

Please note that I am only accepting US bidders at this time, I am not set up to sell outside the country at this time. There are no warranties expressed or implied on this vehicle. The truck is being sold in "as is"; "where is" condition.

Transportation of this truck to the winning bidders location is the responsibility of the winner. I can assist with the loading of the truck.

Thank you for looking at my auction and good luck.

Lincoln 'not true luxury' yet, says Ford design chief

Wed, 28 Aug 2013

Lincoln is "not true luxury," according to Ford's design boss, J Mays. His statements come from a story in The Detroit News that saw candid language on the issues facing Ford's troubled premium brand. Notably, there's a need for a strong character, with Mays saying, "Every brand needs to have a DNA and a unique selling point and things in the vehicle that make you think, 'That's that particular brand.'"
With a range of rebadged Fords, it's not hard to see why that DNA is missing. Mays hinted that a full recovery for Lincoln will be a ten-year process, that's been kicked off with the MKZ sedan. While that car is still largely a Ford Fusion under its extremely pretty wrapper, it's the first Lincoln in some time to inject its own unique take both through the exterior styling and through interior features, such as the vertical, pushbutton gear selection.
Some analysts weren't so certain about Mays' 10-year estimate. Jim Hall of 2953 Analytics thinks it'll be more like 30 years before Lincoln can show a true return to form. The issue, as Hall explains it, is that, "luxury has a degree of exclusivity," that Lincoln just doesn't have. Michelle Krebs from Edmunds adds, "it's definitely a wanna-be luxury brand," comparing the troubled American brand with Infiniti and Acura, two other brands that have struggled to find their place in the luxury market.

Ford Everest Concept shows China also has an affinity for big trucks

Mon, 21 Apr 2014

The Ford Everest Concept SUV at the 2014 Beijing Motor Show shows the future of the Blue Oval's truck line in China. While a concept for now, we're told that JMC, Ford's Chinese joint-venture partner, will build a production version sometime in the near future.
With design from Ford's Asia Pacific design team, the handsome seven-passenger SUV shows off some very muscular styling with wraparound headlights that hook into the contours of the angular trapezoidal grille. The beltline rises up the body in the rear and makes the back appear higher than the front. The rear is made from hard, chiseled contours that give the truck a very tough look. The Everest looks ready for some rough roads.
Ford is keeping the interior and mechanical details about the Everest a secret for now, but the SUV is rumored to share some components with the overseas Ranger pickup. The company has no plans to sell the truck in North America. Scroll down to read the official announcement, including the few details on its production.
