I bought this very nice fully restored 1966 F-100 short bed step side about 4 years ago, from what I was told to be the original family. The prevous owner passed away and the son had no interest in keeping it so I bought it from him. The truck had a full frame off restoration about 9 years ago and rarely driven afterward. This truck had previously been in North Carolina for years from what I was told by the previous owner. I actually still have the original 1966 North Carolina licence plate that will come with it. It runs and drives great with a completely rebuilt big block 390 and a c6 automatic transmission. Its sports a Weiand aluminium intake manifold, holley carburetor, breather, valve cover,electronic cooling fans and more. Truck starts every time with the added electronic ignition, and newer battery. It also has power steering and has already had the power brake conversion done. Engine and transmission runs/shift out great with no problems at all. The engine does smoke at times but runs strong with absolutely no problems. It may simply need valve seals but I honestly have not looked into it. The brakes are all new and in perfect working order as they should be. Truck also rides on a set of 15" smoothie wheels with brand new tries that I installed in 2011. Dual exhaust with headers that lead into a set of flowmaster mufflers that sound perfect with the truck. The interior was completely redone and still looks great. The dash pad has one small crack rite in the middle only (very small). Added seat belts. All the glass is perfect with no cracks. All the gauges work perfectly except for the speedometer.It needs a new speedometer cable.. Heat works great. All the lights, tail lights, turn signals, emergency flashers, wipers, etc.. work perfectly. As far as the body I guarantee you wont be disappointed! No rust and a very nice high dollar paint job that was done when restored. I would say the paint is a solid 8 out of a 10 score. The biggest flaw in the paint is on the driver side front fender where I paid top dollar to have the paint touched up properly and it was not. It is so small you cant even see it from pictures. All new chrome, new weatherstripping/ rubbers on everything, new bumpers,etc... The inside of the bed is mint with brand new wood and stainless steel strips. Perfect floor pans,core support, battery tray, front body mounts, tailgate, hood, etc.. I have included some pictures down below of all these areas. Bare in mind this is a show and go truck not a cheap backyard job. This truck is very nice and garage kept at all times. Truck needs only minor things to be perfect again, or just drive as is and show it. Everything was brought down to bare frame and built back up. Everything under the truck is new just like the outside. This truck has won trophies best in class and has been in multiple weddings. Good luck happy bidding and Low Reserve! Truck may be for sale locally so I have the rite to end auction early if sold. When reserve is met it will be sold here only. I have described the truck to the best of my knowledge. But if you have questions please ask before you bid and only bid if you plan to pay! 500.00 deposit due rite after auction ends unless other arrangements discussed previously. Georgia does not and will not issue titles for classics of this age. Truck will be sold with Georgia state bill of sale along with a Current signed tag recite. With these items you should be able to obtain a title in your state if needed. |

Ford Edge Concept previews new look, can park itself remotely
Wed, 20 Nov 2013It turns out the image we saw back in February did, in fact, reveal the next-generation Ford Edge - at least in concept form. We still have to wait to see what the design will look like in production guise, but until then, Ford is giving us a good idea thanks to the Edge Concept being introduced at the LA Auto Show.
The new styling is an evolution of the current crossover's face with narrow headlights and a prominently slatted grille, while the rest of the design adds a more dynamic appearance with interesting body creases and horizontal taillights. We haven't gotten a look inside the Edge Concept just yet, but Ford is promising a suite of advanced driver-assist technologies including a new self-park system that allows activation from inside or outside the vehicle along with obstacle avoidance and an adaptive electric power steering system.
Ford will continue to offer an EcoBoost engine option in the upcoming Edge, and it will get active grille shutters to help maximize fuel efficiency. No word yet on when we'll be seeing the next-gen Edge in production form, but as we reported recently, it will become a global model in markets including Europe, China and South America. Ford's press release is posted below, but we'll have more information and images up later today.
Ford Fiesta rally car warms up in Sweden
Tue, 18 Mar 2014Rallycross is seeing a sudden surge in popularity with two series bringing the racing to the US and Europe. The Ford OMSE team is competing in both championships this season, and it saw no reason not to hold practice with a highly modified Fiesta in the snow of Northern Sweden. It brought together Andreas Bakkerud from the European-focused FIA World Rallycross Championship and Patrik Sandell from the North American-focused Global Rallycross series for some training and fun. They certainly appear to be enjoying themselves, too, with some lovely pirouettes in the powder.
If you're unfamiliar with rallycross, the discipline combines the best of rallying and circuit racing. Drivers (with no co-drivers) race rally cars over a circuit that generally mixes dirt and asphalt, and unlike traditional rallying, multiple cars compete side-by-side at once. Even better, it's often a very two-fisted form of motorsports with lots of car-to-car contact. Global Rallycross and World Rallycross will both kick off their seasons in May. With spring on the way, scroll down to watch the Fiesta kick up some of the last snow drifts of the year.
NHTSA closes Ford F-150 EcoBoost acceleration probe
Mon, 14 Apr 2014Typically when we report on the findings of an investigation from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, it's because the government body has discovered a safety issue and prescribed a recall. In this case, however, NHTSA has closed an investigation into a reported performance deficit without ever getting to the recall stage.
The issue revolves around the Ford F-150 - specifically those equipped with the 3.5-liter EcoBoost engine - of which some 360,000 were built in the 2011, 2012 and 2013 model years. After receiving an initial 95 complaints, NHTSA opened an investigation last May - almost a year ago - into the reported issue of reduced engine power under hard acceleration. The agency has since received a total of 525 such complaints, and Ford itself reported receiving over 4,000.
Together, NHTSA and Ford determined that the problem resulted from cylinders misfiring, an issue itself stemming from water getting into the charge air cooler (CAC) mated to the turbochargers. In particularly humid or rainy conditions, water was found to get into the CAC, causing some of the cylinders to misfire, which in turn triggered the ECU to disable those cylinders in order to protect the catalytic converter from damage.
