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.

MotorWeek finds nice things to say about the 1993 Ford Probe
Tue, Mar 8 2016This latest in MotorWeek's series of Retro Reviews continues its recent trend of remembering the massive glut of sports coupes that hit the market in the '90s. While vehicles like the Mitsubishi 3000GT, Mazda RX-7, and Ford Mustang all enjoy solid reputations down to this day, the 1993 Ford Probe, well... doesn't. As you'll soon see, though, the show's opinion suggests the coupe's second generation isn't really all that bad. Turns out they just weren't particularly sporty. Ford and Mazda developed the Probe together, and the Japanese company supplied both the base 115-horsepower 2.0-liter four-cylinder and the 164-hp 2.5-liter V6 in the GT trim. The original's pseudo-angular look gave way to a much smoother shape for the second generation. Of course, pop-up headlights remained, which were a design hallmark for many of this era's sports coupes. After driving it, MotorWeek proclaims the Probe is "a winner" and considers the handling a "delight." That's not a big surprise, considering that in those days, a car had to be really bad not to get a decent review from Television's Original Automotive Magazine. However, the show hints at some of the reasons the coupe isn't so well remembered today. Even the GT reportedly suffers from soft springs and lots of understeer, which sounds like exactly the opposite anyone hoping to drive the coupe enthusiastically would want. To sum it all up, we're sure you're just as happy as we are that Ford went back on its initial plan to shelve the Mustang in favor of the front-drive Probe. Related Video:
Ford C-Max, Fusion hybrids subject of MPG lawsuit in California
Fri, 01 Mar 2013A California lawsuit over the fuel economy claims for the 2013 Ford C-Max was first reported back in December. Based on the numerous reports we've heard of disgruntled owners failing to get their car's EPA fuel economy ratings on the C-Max and 2013 Fusion Hybrid, we suspected there would be more to this story. The Detroit News is reporting that two California law firms are combining their lawsuits against Ford on this matter for "false and misleading" claims.
The article states that there are hundreds of C-Max and Fusion Hybrid owners who have joined the lawsuit, but the issue isn't limited to customers. In December, Consumer Reports extensively tested both the Fusion Hybrid and C-Max and found that both hybrids performed significantly worse than their EPA claims. This all comes just a few months after Hyundai and Kia took the unprecedented step of lowering the fuel economy ratings for all of their 2012 and 2013 model-year vehicles.
