Rossville, Georgia, United States

 I've had the truck for about 3 years and the interior is in great shape, new vinyl floormat, everything looks good and is clean. The truck starts and runs good.  New Goodyear truck tires, less than 2 years old with less than 5,000 miles on them. Updated engine components: chrome valve cover, Ofenhauser intake manifold with Edelbrock 4 barrel carb and Headman headers with new dual exhaust and mufflers. The C6 Transmission has a deep chrome pan on it and shifts smootly. Well maintained truck with less than 71,000 original miles.  In line 300 Cu in (4.9L) engine with 3 speed automatic C-6 Transmission and Ford 9" rear differential.  Included in the sale is the paint for repainting the truck to the original factory colors and a new, in the box, sliding rear window and gasket, new rear tail light lenses, and newly chromed letters for the hood (F-O-R-D), and new chrome exterior door handles.  I've already replaced the front bumper and headlight bezels, and the grill has been repainted. The bed is in great shape and doesn't appear to have been used much.  The truck had a camper top bolted down on it when I bought it and I have the receipt where it was purchased and installed when the truck was a couple of weeks old, so the bed never saw rain until I bought it and it appears to have always had a rubber bed mat to protect it.  The truck is equiped with a heavy duty receiver hitch (2" sq stock).
The original owner was stationed at Red Stone Arsenal in Alabama and had the truck for about 20 years and 40,000 miles.  I bought it from a retired sheriff in middle Tennessee who was mainly using it to tow his pontoon boat to the lake and haul some hay bales around his farm.  I've used the truck to commute back and forth to work when the weather was bad, otherwise I ride a motorcyle. I also use it to pick up things from Lowe's or Home Depot on the weekends, but I've only put about 10,000 miles on it in the three years I've had it.
This truck has had a fairly easy life, good maintenance and with a little paint and body work could be a showroom classic.  I've taken a new job out of town and won't have time to work on the finishing touches so I'm letting it go.  My loss is your gain.
The winning bidder will need to place a deposit by Paypal within 24 hours of $1000 and pick up the truck and bring final payment in cash within a week of winning.  The title is clear and in my possession.

Next Ford F-150 delayed for aluminum body panel issues?

Wed, 11 Dec 2013

The timetable for next-generation Ford F-150 may be in trouble if a report from The Truth About Cars is true. The next F-150 is slated to make extensive use of weight-saving aluminum in its body, but the aluminum alloy provided by suppliers hasn't met Ford's requirements in the earliest phases of pre-production, according to the report.
The F-150 represents a huge portion of Ford's profits and is the best-selling truck in the US, even in the face of increased pressure from cross-town rivals General Motors and Ram. While the current truck is treading water against its competition, we'd be lying if we said the F-150 weren't growing quite long in the tooth.
If production of the next-generation of the Ford cash cow, said to be based on the Atlas Concept from the 2013 Detroit Auto Show (pictured above), is delayed, it could be bad for Ford. Production at Ford's Dearborn Truck Plant is already set to be delayed six to ten weeks, missing an internal on-sale deadline of Memorial Day.

Ford pits The Stig against Gran Turismo 6 in Focus ST Goodwood run

Thu, 03 Jul 2014

The Goodwood Festival of Speed is one of the world great automotive gatherings. So, it was the perfect event for Ford to give the refreshed 2015 Focus ST its world debut in front of a loving public. It even surprised us with a new diesel-powered version, as well.
The Blue Oval really put its focus on making the ST a better driver for this refresh. It left its 2.0-liter turbocharged four-cylinder alone to still pump out a respectable 252 horsepower and 270 pound-feet of torque. The changes like a retuned front suspension, electric power steering and improved interior made the hot hatch an even better place to spend time behind the wheel.
To prove that the Focus ST is still as potent as ever, Ford set up a one-on-one race up the Goodwood Hill. But instead of putting the two cars side-by-side, former Stig from Top Gear UK, Ben Collins, piloted the real model up the course, and his rival drove the virtual version in Gran Turismo 6. The two hot hatches set off at the same time to see whether reality could beat the virtual world, and the finish was actually extremely close. Scroll down to watch the video and find out the winner of this battle at Goodwood.

Ford books $2.6B pretax quarterly profit

Thu, 24 Jul 2014

While its crosstown competitors at General Motors are smarting over a drastic drop in net income to $200 million in the second quarter, Ford has reason to celebrate. The Blue Oval has announced its own Q2 financial results, including a growing net income of $1.3 billion, a $78 million increase over last year. Pretax profits for the company reached $2.6 billion, up $44 million from 2013, but total revenue dropped slightly to $37.4 billion, down from $37.9 billion. Profits per share before one-time charges totaled 40 cents per share, beating Wall Street analysts' expectations of 36 cents a share.
Regionally, the Blue Oval performed strongly, as well. North America posted a record quarterly pre-tax profit of $2.4 billion, a $119 million increase. Europe also showed signs of turn around with its first profit in three years of $14 million after a loss of $306 million in Q2 2013. Ford is actually predicting profitability in the troubled region in 2015. Asia Pacific operations also performed well with $159 million in profits, up $29 million from last year. The only region where the business posted a loss was South America.
According to Automotive News, Ford also announced more precise plans about the changeover to build the aluminum-intensive 2015 F-150. In August, the Dearborn plant will shutdown for eight weeks to retool and its Kansas City plant will do the same next year.
