1961 Ford F100 Unibody Longbed 1962 1963 Patina Hotrod Ratrod Gasser Shortbed on 2040-cars
Snohomish, Washington, United States
|
I have a 1961 Ford f100 unibody long bed up for grabs. This is a really cool old forest service truck that still has it's original patina paint that people are after these days.
This would make an awesome candidate for a slammed down patina hot rod! It has a 223 6 that runs pretty good but is starting to puff blue smoke when I take off from a stop light after it warms up. The clutch is also staring to go away. This is a very solid truck for 53 years old with the exception of some spots in the floors, front cab mounts, front of the hood (see pics and video). The heater and wipers work the turn signals horn and gas gauge do not. There is a new turn signal switch that comes with the truck (uninstalled). The truck has a brand new gas tank and sending unit but I think the sending unit is no good? I pulled it out of the tank and hooked it up and raised the float all the way up then the needle on the gauge went up. Truck only has fuel and temp gauge, oil and charge are lights.Temp gauge works. There is a crack in the windshield, the rest of the glass is good. The doors need new anti rattlers, and could probably use a whole new rubber set through out the truck. The speedo works but bounces around a bit and the odometer shows 71,000 miles and judging by the condition of the interior it might be right, although I cannot confirm this. This is a really nice, really complete, clean old truck that is kind of rare and worth fixing up in whatever direction you decide to go, stock, lowrider, gasser, ratrod, hotrod, or whatever. Please look over the pictures closely and watch the video and feel free to ask any questions. I have tried to describe this truck the best I can but may have missed something. The truck is being sold "as is" with no warranty. Buyer is responsible for all shipping arrangements and cost. Thanks for looking, Trevor (425)754-5946 1961 Ford F-100 Video |

Watch these videos of an NHRA racer's bodywork blowing off into a crowd
Tue, 23 Apr 2013Just a few months ago, fan safety at racetracks was a hot topic following the last-lap NASCAR Nationwide Series crash at Daytona that sent large pieces of racecars into the grandstands injuring 33 fans. Now, a freak incident at a National Hot Rod Association event resulted in a drag racer's bodywork flying into the crowd at the NHRA Four-Wide Nationals in Charlotte over the weekend. The carbon-fiber body of Robert Hight's Ford Mustang funny car blew off toward the end of a run when his engine exploded, but fortunately, the two fans evaluated after the incident were later released without serious injury.
As you can see in the image above, the body flew high into the air before landing on a walkway in front of the grandstands, a bit of happenstance that likely gave most fans enough time and space to move out of the way. Scroll down to watch a couple of videos showing what happened, including one from a fan's perspective that also reveals what appears to be part of the body's metal bracing landing dangerously close to the crowd.
2013 Ford F-150 Limited
Mon, 28 Jan 2013The Ford F-150 received yet another new model for the 2013 model year, the Limited trim, bringing the ways you can order this country's most popular vehicle to a grand total of 10. There really is an F-150 to suit any need now, and the Limited variant slots in at the very top of the range, above the already pampering Platinum model.
While normally I would admit that I'm the least-appropriate person to test a pickup, the fact that this particular trim places a much higher premium on luxury than anything with a bed and Blue Oval badge before it means that I don't need the workman chops of a skilled tradesman to judge how well this truck meets its true aim.

Ford Figo concept unveiled in India
Mon, 03 Feb 2014Ford has officially unveiled the Figo Concept at the 2014 Auto Expo in New Delhi. While it may wear a concept badge, we'd argue this little sedan, which is under 12 feet long, looks ready to replace the current Figo and do battle with other B-segment cars in the world's emerging markets.
"With the Figo Concept, we are showing that choosing a compact sedan does not mean compromising on premium design or smart solutions," said Kumar Galhotra, Ford's VP of engineering, global product development. That premium design includes Ford's familial, trapezoidal grille and Fusion-esque headlights in front, while the rear end reminds us of the last-generation Focus Coupe. While that car wasn't exactly attractive, the chopped off tail looks pretty nice on this smaller car. And if you really don't like the looks of the Figo Concept, just remember - it looks better than the current production model. Aerodynamically, the Figo's shape is quite slippery, which means reduced wind noise and improved fuel economy.
As for the "smart solutions" touted by Galhotra, the narrow confines of Indian streets make driving even the tiniest cars a challenge. To give the Figo Concept a one-up on the competition, Ford has fitted power-folding mirrors that sport a "flexible architecture," which should stand up well to bumps from cars, people or bikes. We don't have any interior images, but Ford is promising a large cabin, that includes a dock that can accommodate a phone or MP3 player, allowing either to be controlled through the car.
