1972 Ford F-100 Sport Custom 390 Big Block Automatic with factory air.
This truck is all original except for the radio. Has had only 3 owners. Still have original owners manual, etc. For the past 13 years it has been in a 3 sided carport and used whenever needed. Always reliable. When a kid pulled in front of my Silverado, I used it daily for 2 months. Or if it sits for a month waiting to take trash to the dump, it's ready for that chore also. A few months ago, took it to Salem, (5 hour drive roundtrip), and as always, no problems. Shows 79,000 miles, and no way to verify if it's actual. It does not smoke a bit, and may use a quart at the most between changes. Runs strong, shifts great, sounds nice. All guages work, all lights work, even the cargo! Surface rust ONLY. No bubbles, holes, pitting, etc. Not even in the locking "tool box" in the bed. I included a photo of the roof. I was going to primer it, then decided to let the buyer see it as-is. It is smooth as glass. Speaking of glass, all is good EXCEPT for an hour glass shape in the windshield. Barely noticable, but you will. Tags are good for at least another year. Les Schwab tires are at 70-75%. The original under dash A.C. has'nt worked in years, but I have no reason to believe it may with freon and a belt. The only bad part is a cyclone fence jumped in front of the lil' lady when she was backing up. It took off the trim, but the largest piece is fine, the smaller (door) may be fixable. The indentation it left is very shallow as I hope you can see from the photos. Even with that flaw, I get compliments quite often. It is available for inspection anytime we are available. If you choose a transport company for delivery, I will be happy to meet them at a convenient location. Ask any questions as I'm sure I forgot some items. Thanks.

1969 Ford Talladega GPT Special is a SEMA showstopper
Thu, 07 Nov 2013Rad Rides by Troy has unleashed upon the SEMA crowds this custom 1969 Ford Torino Talladega GT Special, and it's a beauty. The car calls to mind the classic Holman Moody stock cars that circled NASCAR tracks in the late 1960's, driven by the likes of Mario Andretti, Dan Gurney and David Pearson, who won the Grand National title in both 1968 and '69 in a Ford Torino.
Even though it has plenty of stock-car influence, there's nothing retro about the car's design or powertrain, other than the fact that the engine is based on a Ford Boss 429 block. Fuel injection, aftermarket aluminum heads and a high-tech custom computer system combine to send 750 reliable ponies to the rear wheels through a Tremec five-speed manual transmission. Brakes measure 14-inches all around, with six-piston Wilwood calipers up front and four-piston units out back.
There's custom bodywork abound, painted in a two-tone Tennessee Whiskey Gold and Daytona Sand finish. Check out all the amazing details in the image gallery below, and scroll down to read all about it in designer Troy Trepanier's own words.
Tanner Foust tackles 'Ring in SVT Raptor
Sat, 16 Mar 2013Here's a math problem: if Tanner Foust has a 24 hours to kill in Germany and one blue Ford Raptor, how long will it take him to decide he wants to lap The Nürburgring? Extra credit if you can get your answer precise to the millisecond.
A very truck-like and slidey lap of the 'Ring is exactly what happened when the Ford-sponsored rallycross driver took time off from set-up duties for his 'day job.' Thankfully no one even thought to worry about posting a time, but you can watch some Raptor skid marks getting laid down between the kerbs in the video below.
Ford sued over alleged 3.5-liter EcoBoost defects
Thu, 16 May 2013Three Ford owners from Ohio have filed a lawsuit against the automaker over defects that they allege exist within the company's twin-turbocharged 3.5-liter V6 EcoBoost engine. Automotive News reports that the lawsuit claims the engine "contained serious latent design, manufacturing, or assembly defects." Those defects, the suit claims, cause the vehicle to shake, misfire and lose power quickly.
Two of the plaintiffs, a married couple, own a 2010 Ford Taurus SHO, and allege they experienced a loss of power and stalling, while the third, an F-150 owner, claims he lost power while accelerating. In addition to the Taurus SHO and F-150, the 3.5-liter V6 EcoBoost engine is also available in the Ford Flex, Explorer Sport and Lincoln MKT and MKS. Other three- and four-cylinder EcoBoost engines are not included in the suit. There have been no recalls associated with 3.5-liter V6 engine, and the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration is currently not investigating the matter.
The plaintiffs, however, claim Ford has known about the problem, citing several technical service bulletins issued to dealers of the F-150 that suggest possible fixes. Ford had no comment for Automotive News, saying that it's yet to review the lawsuit, which was filed last Friday in Columbus, OH.
