1962 Ford F100 Rare Factory 4x4 on 2040-cars
Susanville, California, United States
You don't see these very often a factory 1962 F100 4x4, there wasn't very many made from what I read and not a hole lot survived because people worked them. This truck had been sitting in a Northern California Barn for at least 20 years, it was taken out and and worked on to get it running again. Well all it took was a fuel pump, spark plugs and wires plus a little help from a new battery and it purred again. The original 292 was replaced with a stronger 352, and a 4 speed NP435 trans was mated to it. If a original 292 is something you want to put back in I know where to get a running one for $400. Apparently the reason it was parked back then was the tranny was hard to shift into third, well I have been driving it the way it is and third gear is a pain and just recently I had it checked out and it appears to be the shift fork pads are worn no more than $200 to fix. The motor leaks oil from oil pan, my guess the motor needs gaskets from sitting so long. Now to the cab, bed and frame. The cab is solid just surface rust in some area's, all windows are there and not broke, dash had been cut to install 8 track radio, the floors are good but there is two rust holes near the kick panels but no major surgery needed her. A rodent got into the wiring and now turn signals and gas gauge don't work. The bed and tailgate are good, just surface rust and there is bondo at one of the wheel wells, very little though. Well I think I covered everything, but if you have any questions feel free to contact me. The truck is listed locally and I reserve the right to end auction at any time.

Fiat boss Elkann being mentored by... Bill Ford?
Tue, 26 Mar 2013Fiat Chairman John Elkann has been turning to an unusual source for advice on the car business. While speaking during an interview with The Detroit News, Elkann said he often asks Bill Ford Jr. for advice on how to proceed with the turnaround at Chrysler. "It's great to have the opportunity to share this with someone like Bill, who has experienced many things and gone through many things ... especially linked to Detroit." Elkann said.
As the Agnelli family heir, Elkann has inherited a long and fruitful friendship with the Ford family. While Giovanni Agnelli built his first Fiat four years before Henry Ford created his first vehicle, it was Ford that showed Agnelli the benefits of mass production and helped pave the way for what would become the Fiat empire.
Giovanni's grandson, Gianni, helped mentor Bill Ford when he was elected chairman of Ford Motor Company. Now, Ford is returning the favor by helping Elkann navigate the automotive industry's tumultuous waters.
Your official Ford Transit specs are here, $29,565* to start
Wed, 04 Jun 2014Ford has released the full list of pricing and specs on its new Transit, the replacement for the long-lived E-Series cargo van. Prices are set to start at $29,565 and can increase rapidly from there, depending on length, engine and wheelbase, among other options.
Let's talk first about those new engines. The base is the familiar 3.7-liter, naturally aspirated V6. It boasts 275 horsepower and 260 pound-feet of torque and can return up to 14 miles per gallon in the city and 19 mpg on the highway. This engine can also be adapted to run on LPG or compressed natural gas. Of course, there are better alternatives, for a price, the first of which is Ford's well-received, 3.5-liter EcoBoost V6. It packs 310 hp and a best-in-class 400 lb-ft of torque (available at just 2,500 rpm) while matching the naturally aspirated engine in both city and highway fuel economy.
Then, there's the diesel. With a 3.2-liter, five-cylinder diesel mill at its disposal, the Transit generates 350 lb-ft between 1,500 and 2,500 rpm, along with 185 hp. This engine hasn't been rated by the EPA, although we'd be really, really surprised if it didn't handily best either of the gas-powered engines in fuel efficiency. A six-speed automatic is standard, regardless of engine.
V6 engines will outpace V8s for the 2015 Ford F-150
Wed, 23 Jul 2014How times have changed. Even five years ago, who would have thought the mighty V8 would be just another engine choice for buyers of the 2015 Ford F-150?
Ford is projecting about 28 percent of the next-generation trucks will have the 5.0-liter V8. That's nothing to sneeze at, but consider this: Ford figures its two EcoBoost truck engines - the new 2.7-liter V6 and the existing 3.5-liter V6 - will also each account for about 28 percent of the F-150's sales (56 percent total). That leaves only 15 percent of the pie for the 3.5-liter (non-EcoBoost) V6. The new F-150 goes on sale late this year.
