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.

Thieves still love older Hondas and pickups most, says NICB [w/video]
Wed, 20 Aug 2014No one wants to have their car stolen, but a new study by the National Insurance Crime Bureau has some bad news for older Honda owners and pickup drivers. Fortunately, it has better news for drivers overall. The group is reporting that according to preliminary data from the Federal Bureau of Investigation, thefts were down 3.2 percent in 2013 (versus 2012) to fewer than 700,000 cars. That's the lowest figure since 1967. That's also less than half of the peak of over 1.66 million thefts in 1991. "The drop in thefts is good news for all of us," says NICB President and CEO Joe Wehrle. "But it still amounts to a vehicle being stolen every 45 seconds and losses of over $4 billion a year."
Honda drivers might not find it such good news with older Accord and Civic models topping this year's theft study. Toyota and Dodge can't really celebrate, either, with two models each on the list, as well. Overall, this year's list was split evenly between foreign and domestic models, which were mostly pickups.
The 10 most likely vehicles to be stolen in 2013 were:
NHTSA closes probes on Jeep Grand Cherokee, Ford Freestar and Mercury Monterey
Wed, 09 Jan 2013The Detroit News reports the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration has officially closed its investigations into 2012 Jeep Grand Cherokee, 2004-2005 Ford Freestar and Mercury Monterey models. The separate probes found no issues that pose safety concerns. NHTSA began investigating certain Grand Cherokee SUVs over complaints that power steering hoses could detach during operation, thereby increasing the risk of a vehicle fire. Of the 24 reports of failure, none alleged smoke or fire in the engine bay, and Chrysler has since modified the power steering cooler assembly to reduce the likelihood of the failure.
Meanwhile, certain Ford Freestar and Mercury Monterey vehicles garnered a government probe after receiving complaints that the models were equipped with faulty scissor jacks. The agency had received six reports of the jacks failing or causing injuries, including one incident that resulted in a fatality. But NHTSA says the jack failure rate is similar to those found in other vehicles. In those six cases, the government agency found the jacks were being used for something other than changing a tire, and investigators could not determine whether the emergency brake was set or the rear tires were properly chocked.
Ford Fusion getting substantial refresh for 2017
Wed, 13 Aug 2014It's only been a couple of years since Ford rolled out the current Fusion, but if these spy shots are anything to go by, it's already planning what appears to be a substantial update for the mid-size sedan.
According to our paparazzi on the ground, the new Fusion is being prepared for launch late in 2016 or early 2017. Although heavily camouflaged to keep it from prying eyes such as ours, it appears that the updated Fusion will tone down the Aston Martin-style grille, ditch the small corner window with revised front side glass and tweak the vehicle's overall shape. But there's more to the new Fusion than a styling adjustment, and our spy photographers have caught a glimpse inside and taken us along.
Apparently the new Fusion is to get a completely overhauled interior with soft-touch surfaces and matte wood trim to make it seem more upscale. There's an all-new rotary gear selector (like you'd find on a Jaguar, for example) hinting at the implementation of a new nine-speed automatic transmission. The prototype appears to be packing the Microsoft SYNC system, suggesting that the new Blackberry QNX system isn't ready quite yet - though that doesn't necessarily mean it won't be ready by the time the new Fusion is.
