1983 FORD F-100 SHORT BED PICKUP.

1983 Ford F-100 short bed pickup. 1983 was the last year of the F-100 model, making this a fairly rare truck, and even with the flaws, VERY hard to find in this condition. The short-bed body is the most popular, sought-after style for the resto-mod guys, and this one could be a real jewel for the person who will restore it.
I purchased the truck from my cousin about 19 years ago and it had 58K on it; as it sits today (July 2, 2014) it has 122,675 miles, and so you can see that it's been driven only an average of about 3K miles per year. Today I just don't drive it very much at all, but do take it out to the store and around the neighborhood a couple of times per week. And I keep a close check on all it's workings. I've had so many offers and inquiries over the years on it, I can't begin to remember them all.
The issues with the truck are almost all cosmetic except for the truck's bed tailgate latch. The little plastic piece keeping the internal pulls from slipping out of the latch deteriorated and fell apart (*a very common irritant) a few years ago, but it's easily lowered with a screwdriver to flip the tailgate holds. (I hate the cargo nets that lots of people use to replace the tailgates.) In 2011 it sustained some 'dimpling' from a freak very rare hail storm here in E. Tenn., and I had scheduled to have it painted only two weeks after that, so I was lucky to escape that bullet. Because of its age, the insurance co. would not pay for the PDR and we settled: They totaled it and I bought it back. To fully re-insure it (*I can only carry liability now.) the dents must be repaired. 90%+ of the dings are on the hood and it can be replaced for a couple hundred dollars. The bed sustained NO damage because of the heavy rubber mat and toolbox. (*The toolbox and mat are included in this sale.) The top will have to have the dings removed.
Before the hail storm I was eager to restore it; now, I think I'll leave that to a younger fellow. It took the wind out of my sails.

There are NO rust issues with it. And no rust-throughs whatsoever.

The truck has a new rebuilt transmission in it that has less than 3K on it ( $2,000.00 for the rebuild) and it performs like new; I had it installed before the storm. It shifts now like new, and the old girl is still a lot of fun to drive.
The interior is all original. Seats have always been covered and are near mint. Few cracks in the plastic on the doors. Dashboard has NO cracks. All gauges work.
My cousin had replaced the original radio with a Sony system with 100W truck speakers behind the seats long ago and it's powerful and plays perfectly. (Not hard to find the original AM/FM radio)
Engine is a 302 V-8 Windsor.
Air Conditioner has been converted to 134A and blows cold.
New Tires have been put on....The Goodrich tires in some of the pics had cracking and I didn't want to sell the vehicle with those tires. The sun has been the truck's biggest enemy, in spite of all my efforts.

All in all, this is a great classic truck that will only increase in value and appeal.

*The price on the vehicle is firm.
With the transmission rebuild and new tires...etc. I can't go any lower and that's why I didn't add the "Make an Offer" feature.
So if you don't want to pay it, we'll just part friends and move on.

It's a scarce, solid, straight vehicle and with the right TLC, it could be a showpiece. This is a 30 year old used truck sold in as-is, where-is condition with no warranties or guarantees implied. Please study the pics closely. What you see is what you get, and I've listed all I know or even think I know about it. Ask ALL questions via E-MAIL prior to bidding. Payment down is expected at the end of the auction. Please do not bid if you cannot meet this requirement. I will sign over the title once payment in full is made. Please check with your significant other, your mom, your banker, your mechanic, and whoever else you need to, in advance . If you have less than 10 Positive eBay feedbacks, contact me via e-mail before you bid or your bid will be cancelled. I do not have storage space and need to have the truck picked up within 2 weeks of auction end.

*I've already had a number of questions concerning taking the vehicle out of this country to Canada and Mexico. You will have to investigate that matter online or with a dealer who has encountered that matter; I'm no expert, even though NAFTA seems to make it pretty clear that you won't have a problem taking it across those borders. But....I am not sure. When it leaves my property, it is out of my life for good.....and I'm having a hard time letting go as it is! :)

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.

This unique '64 Mustang was Edsel Ford II's first car

Thu, 02 Jan 2014

You probably had the same dream when you were a teenager. Your sixteenth birthday is coming up, or Christmas, or maybe both, and all you want is a muscle car to call your own. That dream has come true for some, and one of them was none other than Edsel Ford II.
Henry Ford's great grandson turned 16 on December 27, 1964 - two days after Christmas and eight months after the original Mustang went on sale. And that's just what was waiting for him in the driveway, courtesy of his father (and reigning chief executive) Henry Ford II.
The specially-prepared pony car had a pearlescent cream paintjob with narrow blue racing stripes, functional hood scoop, chrome trim, Euro-spec fender-mounted mirrors, a blue leather and aluminum interior, a monogrammed fuel cap... and a 289-cubic-inch V8 under the hood.

Latest Forza Motorsport 5 car pack leaves us scratching our head (in a good way) [w/video]

Wed, Jul 2 2014

As we scrolled down the roster of the latest car pack for Forza Motorsport 5, the Hot Wheels Car Pack, our expression became bemused over the strange mix of vehicles that we now have at our disposal. This is quite unlike any of the other sets of DLC Turn 10 Studios has offered. Sure, there are the typical headliner cars – the Lamborghini Veneno and 2015 Audi S3 Â– that will appeal to the mainstream racing fan or auto enthusiast. But this latest car pack is so jammed full of nuggets of automotive weirdness that it's hard not to get excited. The Hot Wheels pack has no shortage of racers, with a particular focus on historical offerings. A 1939 Auto Union Type D covers the pre-war era of Formula One, while a 1967 Lotus 49 and a 1952 Ferrari 375 represent post-war racing. For a modern twist, a Mazda USF2000 car slots in below the Indy Lights car from the Nurburgring booster pack. From here, things get vintage and weird. There are a pair of delightfully offbeat coupes, in the form of a 1974 Toyota Celica GT and a 1973 Ford XB Falcon GT (here's hoping we get a vintage Holden Monaro in the future). Those two are joined by a 1956 Ford F-100, which your author already plans on converting into a dragster with vinyl flames down the side (because that's what all vintage pickups should be). The new ride we're most excited about, though, is the 1983 GMC Vandura G-1500. Yes, that's the van from The A-Team, and we're sure it will prove to be an excellent canvas for the artists of FM5 to cover with airbrushed, fire-breathing unicorns and mystical, gray-haired wizards (or just poorly painted letters that read "Free Candy"). This latest car pack is the final monthly car pack for FM5, although Turn 10 is quick to point out that while the monthly updates are over, there will still be new batches of cars made available to gamers. As for the Hot Wheels pack, it's available now on Xbox Live for $9.99. Scroll down for the press release from Turn 10 Studios, as well as a video of the newest additions to Forza Motorsport 5's vehicle roster. Forza Motorsport 5 Hot Wheels Car Pack Now Available Turn 10 Studios is bringing the Hot WheelsÂ® Car Pack to "Forza Motorsport 5," available for download today. The pack features a collection of vehicles built from the ground up for the new generation that car fans can collect and customize while putting their virtual driving skills to the test.
