 This is it!!!  A virtual time capsule!!  A true survivor in GREAT shape for a 39 year old truck!!  This is the one you've been looking for!  All of the green paint appears to be original, some of the white has been repainted.  It does not appear to have had any rust repair.  The pictures show some minor paint "bubbling".  Also, the truck has some hail damage mainly isolated to the hood.  I'm not sure if the hail shows in the pictures.  Even inside the bed of the truck is very good with normal scratches but no rust!!  Tailgate is nice, the trim around the truck has some dings etc but the body shows no dents.  Pretty good for surviving almost 40 years!!  The interior is very nice.  The seat is firm and not broken down, there is however some rips in the driver's area of the seat...as you can see.  Nice door panels with some minor warping. Original headliner that's a little warped also.  Dash is excellent with NO cracks or discolorations!!

Options:  390 V8...C6 automatic, factory AC.  It is unknown if the AC works, the compressor is not frozen up.  High line trim package XLT Ranger.  Factory box side tool box.  Please note: The lock is frozen and the door hasn't been opened for YEARS.

Mechanically the truck starts, runs and drives very nice.  The cab is tight with very minimal air leaks.  It's amazing how tight this truck is after all these years!!  Underneath, the truck has some normal seepage around the oil pan, but it's also amazingly dry underneath!!!

The truck has 110,000 actual miles. The listing required the exact 5 digits, so the miles have turned over 100,000.

Any questions??  If you have any I prefer phone calls as I don't check my email regularly. So for a faster response to any questions just give me a call.  Tom 402-650-3849

The fine print:  The reserve is set far below the $5000. mark!!  I feel it's a fair number to allow anyone to own this very nice 1975 F-100.  The winning bidder to send a $500. non-refundable deposit via Paypal within 48 hours end of auction.  The balance to be paid in the form of certified bank funds, bank to bank wire transfer or cash at the time of pick up FOB Omaha, Nebraska. The truck is sold in AS-IS WHERE-IS CONDITION!!  This is a 39 year old truck and I've done my best to honestly describe it's condition and runability.  BID TO OWN...BUT BID ONLY IF YOU FULLY INTEND TO FOLLOW THROUGH WITH THE TRANSACTION...PLEASE!!!

Again...any questions call me anytime!!  Thanks!!

Ford Mustang Shelby GT500 has a bit of a dyno issue

Tue, 28 May 2013

We're of the mind that each and every dyno should come with Murphy's Law painted in big, visible letters down the side. For every ten successful dyno runs out there, it seems there's one where events to horribly wrong. Take, for example, the video below. The clip shows what happens when a Ford Shelby GT500 and a mobile dyno have a bit of a disagreement at the Performance Expo 24 in Sherbrooke, Quebec. We won't spoil the results for you, but we will say there's some substantial carnage involved.
It's unclear just how much damage ensues from the dust up or whether anyone was harmed in the incident, but from the looks of things, everyone made it out without serious injury. If only we could say the same for the machines involved. Check out the video below.

Expert: 54.5 mpg CAFE standard can be reached without many plug-ins

Sat, Jan 18 2014

Johnson Controls executive Brian Kesseler isn't likely to get any holiday presents this year from Nissan chief Carlos Ghosn or Tesla Motors head Elon Musk, but lots of other folks might be happy with what he has to say about automakers' efforts to reach stricter fleetwide fuel-economy standards. Speaking at the Automotive News World Congress, Kesseler said automakers wouldn't need to sell an extensive number of plug-in vehicles in order to meet the 54.5 mile per gallon Corporate Average Fuel Economy (CAFE) standard the US government set in 2012 for 2025 model-year vehicles. In fact, he said, components such as stop-start engine technology, turbochargers and direct injection may actually do the trick. Already, things like smaller engine sizes and lighter cars are already playing major roles in spurring fuel-efficiency gains. Of course, Johnson Controls sells batteries specially built for stop-start systems, so Kesseler does have a bit of skin in this game. The 54.5-mpg CAFE standard equates to about a 40-mpg "real world" fuel-efficiency level. To put that into perspective, the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) said in a report late last year that model-year 2013 average fuel economy was an even 24 mpg. That was up from 23.6 mpg for the 2012 model year and 22.4 mpg for 2011.

2015 Ford Mustang to offer solid-rear axle, sort of

Tue, 17 Dec 2013

One of the biggest knocks against the last Ford Mustang was its solid-rear axle. Not one to actively court criticism, Ford dutifully swapped out the old-fashioned rear end for something a bit more modern in the redesigned 2015 Mustang, adding an independent rear suspension across the board.
While an IRS Mustang is great news for those that value handling and ride comfort, there's one big group that it's bad news for - drag racers. See, a solid-rear axle is a big deal for drag racers, because not only is it more durable and cheaper, but it's better for the hard launches that can make or break a race.
To satiate this vocal demographic, Ford will sell a body-in-white version of the Stang, complete with a nine-inch rear axle, that will debut at the 2014 Performance Racing Industry show. The news came from gas2.org, which cited an unnamed employee of Ford Racing at this year's PRI show.
