1973 Ford F-100 Pickup 2wd 2-tone 360 Motor & C6 Transmission Matching Numbers on 2040-cars
Lewis Center, Ohio, United States
|
For sale here we have a fine example of what Detroit was once capable of... This 1973 F-100 is good looking, very useful, fun to drive, and gets a conversation started everywhere it goes. I have driven this truck from Columbus, OH to El Paso, TX and back hauling two motorcycles in the back and it never missed a beat. The engine and transmission have been professionally rebuilt; I can provide receipts for the work that was done on it. Also installed at that time were stainless headers, high-performance starter, HVHP oil pump, new power steering pump, and a Holley 2-barrel carburetor. The interior was redone as well and is in very nice condition. In addition, this truck has a "Hidden Hitch" brand frame-mounted Reese hitch, variable-rate adjustable electric trailer brake system, and 7-pin trailer connection. With this setup and the automatic transmission it makes an excellent, comfortable tow vehicle. To be fair and honest, this is not a show truck. There is some rust on the bed sides, and a little on the door frames. It is mostly surface rust, not vast expanses of cancerous rot. This truck spent most of its life in North Dakota, not on Ohio's salty roads. It will be a good truck for many years just the way it is, or it would make a good candidate for restoration if you wanted to make the body perfect. The drive train needs nothing. The radio stopped working, so I took it out. The aluminum trim needs to be glued back on to the sliding rear window, but nothing is missing. Also the vinyl armrest/door handle needs to be screwed on to the driver's door; I just haven't taken the inner door skin off to do so. Again, all the necessary parts are present. I even have the original owner's manual and warranty ID card. I can deliver this truck anywhere in Ohio for $0.50 per mile. I may be able to deliver elsewhere, but please ask before assuming I will do so. I would prefer for the buyer to pick it up in Columbus, OH, or make arrangements to have it picked up. I can store the truck for up to 2 weeks after the auction provided that payment is made. A $200 deposit is required via PayPal within 24 hours of the auction ending. The balance is to be paid in cash or check prior to taking possession of the truck. Any check must clear my bank before it goes; that is why cash is the most desirable way to complete the transaction. I would be willing to discuss trades if you have a pre-1970 Harley-Davidson (not a Sportster.) Otherwise, cash is king. Bid like you mean it; only the last one counts! Please ask any questions prior to bidding and I will do my best to answer them in a timely manner. Good luck and Happy Bidding!

Riding along in Ford's bonkers Fiesta ST Global RallyCross car [w/video]
Wed, 28 Aug 2013
The Mountune-worked Fiesta ST GRC does 0-to-60 mph in 1.9 seconds.
On any given day, and every single weekend, there's at least one parking in the country invaded by manufacturer and team trucks. The be-chromed beasts and their 53-foot trailers are slotted into rows, men and women decorate the lot with orange cones to mark the invisible tracery of a temporary track, cars get unloaded, crews fret over them. The ritual can be as beautiful as the sunrise to those with enthusiast hearts, but it's just as common.
Martini Mustang is a 'what if moment' gone right
Wed, 23 Oct 2013Feast your eyes on a masterpiece. This is Steve Strope's Ford Mustang in the classic fastback bodystyle, and as you'll notice, it sports the signature colors of Martini Racing, a livery that's as legendary as any Gulf Racing-styled car. But the red, white and blues of the Martini stripe down this Mustang's middle tell only a very small part of the story, in the latest video from Petrolicious.
What would you guess is under the hood? A 289-cubic-inch V8? Maybe a 302, or some absurd Ford crate engine? Maybe Strope went all Tokyo Drift - he's actually responsible for the "Hammer" Plymouth Satellite driven by Vin Diesel at the end of the movie - and found an RB26DETT to drop into the pony car? You'd be wrong on all counts.
This mad, mad man somehow finagled a Ford-Lotus engine from a 1966 Indianapolis 500 car into the Mustang's engine bay. Yes, a Mustang with an engine designed for a 160-mile-per-hour, open-wheel racecar. That's like someone in 40 years dropping McLaren's 2.4-liter V8 from the MP4-28 into a Scion FR-S. It'd just make a monster.
Ford Mustang returning to Australia in 2016
Mon, 15 Jul 2013Australia's Herald Sun newspaper has reported that the next-generation Ford Mustang is heading Down Under in 2016, just as Ford is hanging the "Closed for Good" sign on its Australian manufacturing operations and sending the Falcon to its grave. Ford hasn't offered any official word on the matter, but the paper says that Ford's global VP of sales and marketing, Jim Farley, is flying to Australia to make the announcement himself.
While Ford converted Mustangs in the early 2000s from left-hand to right-hand drive for the Australian market and then sold them at high prices, it's been almost five decades since Ford imported a dedicated right-hand-drive Mustang to Oz. The arrival of the global model specifically made for places like Australia and the UK means Ford will also be able to offer them at better prices than the converted models; the Herald Sun says the price is expected to be "close to $50,000."
And that's for one of the "V8 performance models," which are the only ones Australia will get; Ford apparently won't send the turbocharged four cylinder or the V6. The Aussies could find out in a month from now whether this rumor is true. We will all find out what this Mustang fuss is about when the car debuts at next year's New York Auto Show.
