You are looking at our beautiful 1979 Ford F150 Custom full size pickup truck. It features the classic bulletproof Ford straight six engine, 8' bed, bench seat, and manual transmission. Its been a great farm/town truck for us for the past 17 years, and all that time we have treated it well. Its been regularly maintained, and always kept under shelter. Though we've used it regularly, we haven't abused it, and have averaged just over 1,000 miles a year on it. Its been kept in the stock configuration, so this would be perfect for someone that wants a dependable classic ford, or someone that wants an untainted base for a restoration project.
Take a look at the photos for the great condition of the truck. There are plenty of minor dings and scratches, but nothing major. Biggest rust spots can be seen above the drivers door and by the drivers marker light. I used a bed mat as long as I've had it, but note the bed has plenty of surface rust - easy to paint a bedliner over or put an insert on top of. Based on this, I'm not claiming its a showroom restoration, but its an honest strong truck that's been used as expected. Examine the photos and make the determination if this is the one for you. It also comes with full size spare attached under the bed, jack under the hood, and new seat cover over the bench seat. There was a little tearing on the seat so I put that on to protect it and make it look better. In terms of little details you should be aware of note that its manual transmission, so be comfortable with a truck tranny and be sure that's what you're expecting. There is a piece of material covering up a crack in the passenger side dash, and a small hole drilled into the plastic of the driver's door. There is some smoke when starting, especially if its been sitting, but that goes away, and I don't really need to add coolant or oil. I check each about every season and top off as necessary. Sometimes it wants to rev when the clutch is in, but it returns to normal when gear is engaged. Likely the throttle cable spring. I have a log of its service history, which I'll include, along with a small library of manuals that go along with this model, including the excellent Robert Bentley publishers Ford F-Series Pickup Owners Bible. If you like to tinker on your cars, you'll have everything you need to go to work. Comes with original Ford Owners Guide too! In terms of the engine and running of the vehicle, its always been very dependable. Easy starting, and I take it on the highway regularly - its happy doing 65 no problem. Just had two new front tires put on, and did a front-end alignment while they were at it, so it drives good and straight. In Virginia you don't have to inspect antique vehicles, but I just tested all lights and they're good, and I'll try to take it in for inspection this week to confirm it will pass. Dual gas tanks, and locking caps are included for each tank. I also have plenty of keys floating around, so I'll gather those so you'll have a few sets right off the bat. I have a clear title ready to sign over, and can hand the vehicle over the weekend after the auction ends, probably starting on Friday morning, August 8th. If you'd like to ship it, I can work with your service, assuming payment it made before sending. And if you pay in full, I'm happy to keep it safe here, within reason, until you can arrange for shipping or pick up. I also might be able to drive it to meet you somewhere convenient - i.e. train station, etc. for a small fee. $500 non-refundable deposit due within 48h of winning auction. We're in zip code 22567. Good luck to everyone, and feel free to ask any questions - I'll be adding details as I think of them and will update the listing accordingly. Thank you! On Jul-28-14 at 10:48:04 PDT, seller added the following information: Update: just wanted to let everyone know I took it in for inspection this morning here in VA, and it passed with flying colors, so keep that in mind. Also, the mileage was at 99,921 when I took the photos, but I'm still driving it around a little, so it will probably be just over 100k at auction end. Odometer and speedometer both work fine. Thank you. On Jul-29-14 at 14:13:45 PDT, seller added the following information: Update 2: Adding some video of the truck in action - hope its useful! On Aug-01-14 at 06:51:01 PDT, seller added the following information: Update 3: Someone asked about the clutch, and I just checked my records and we put in a new clutch (along with pressure plate and bearings) just under 4,000 miles ago, and its been fine ever since. When we had the new clutch put in, we also put in a new power steering pump and carburetor, along with the rear main oil seal, so keep in mind all those parts are new and working great. On Aug-02-14 at 08:36:03 PDT, seller added the following information: Update 4: In response to a question about the gearing, its a classic four on the floor transmission - see photo of shifter below. Reverse is over and up, and first is up, so you have to get a feel for where they like to engage, but with the new clutch, shifting is easy. Also, you'll notice in the photo I put in a 12v cigarette lighter in the proper location, so you're good to go if you smoke and/or want to power your 12v accessories. Thank you.

Ford Announces Free Brake-Pad Offer If Customers Stop By Dealers
Mon, Aug 4 2014These days, when you buy a new car, it's not unreasonable to expect a certain period of free maintenance to come along as well. Sometimes this is through the life of the warranty, in other cases a little less. But Ford Motor Company is going beyond those deals for at least one part of its cars. As of now, if you buy a set of Motorcraft brake pads for a Ford, Lincoln or Mercury model, you get free replacements for as long as you own the vehicle. The offer is good at Ford or Lincoln dealers and Quick Lane Tire & Auto Centers. "We will replace the pads for as long as you own the vehicle," said Elizabeth Weigandt to Autoblog. She did clarify that the Motorcraft pads are generally for models from the '90s or newer. Also, to take advantage of this program, a person must return to the same dealer each time to get the free parts. Of course, Ford isn't just handing out brake pads to anyone who walks by; there are certain stipulations. First, the components have to be worn down to less than three millimeters to be eligible, and the buyer still has to pay for the labor to install them. If the model is used as a fleet vehicle for commercial purposes like as a taxi or limousine, this offer also doesn't apply; the same thing for racecars. On the plus side, if you recently bought a set of pads from one of the participating locations, you're still in luck. The deal covers parts purchased as of July 1. "This program reflects our commitment to providing customers with an excellent ownership experience regardless of the age of their vehicle," said Frederiek Toney, President of Ford Customer Service, in the company's announcement of the offer.

Ford Detroit stand map clearest evidence yet of new GT, Mustang GT350R, SVT Raptor
Fri, Jan 9 2015An anonymous tipster has leaked a map of Ford's display stand plans for next week's Detroit Auto Show, and the schematic contains some interesting details that supports the idea of a Ford GT revival, as well as the presence of the rumored Shelby Mustang GT350R and F-150 SVT Raptor. The map, used by workers to help erect the Blue Oval's Cobo Hall display, maps out a show with a performance-heavy influence, with a codenamed vehicle, "Phoenix" sitting front and center, flanked by "Hummingbird 2" and "F-150 SVT Raptor Teaser." Our sources within Ford have confirmed that Phoenix is the long-rumored GT successor (a notion furthered by the presence of a pair of historic GT40s shown near the display entrance), and Hummingbird 2 refers to the GT350R (note also that there's a "Mustang Historic" GT350R on its own dais nearby). We've also learned that while the Raptor is labeled "Teaser," our Ford source assures us this is effectively the production truck. Rumors of a neo Ford GT have been picking up speed for months now, and we've been led to believe that this new car will have motorsports applications firmly on its mind, but it won't follow in the same retro-steeped design footsteps of its 2005-2006 forbearer. While the map does show Focus models on display, including the performance-oriented ST, we note that there isn't a spot seemingly earmarked for the rumored next-generation Focus RS, which has been the subject of the Motown rumormill for some time. Instead, we expect to see Ford's hottest hatch bow at the Geneva Motor Show in March. Even without a Focus RS revival, the Ford stand is shaping up to be a high-performance, high-horsepower showing, and we're excited to see if the Blue Oval can steal the show come Monday.

Ford builds USAF Thunderbirds Edition Mustang for charity
Tue, 02 Jul 2013Each year since 2008, Ford has created a one-off Mustang to celebrate military aviation, and the cars have been auctioned off at the Experimental Aircraft Association (EAA) Gathering of Eagles charity event to raise money to inspire the next generation of aviators. This year's charity car is the 2014 Ford Mustang GT US Air Force Thunderbirds Edition, which also helps celebrate 60 years of Thunderbirds air show excellence.
Of all the EAA charity cars, this Thunderbirds Edition is the most in depth. Painted to match the F-16 Tomcat fighter jets used by Thunderbirds, this Mustang also gets a widebody kit and 22-inch Forgiato wheels to go with the cockpit's Recaro bucket seats, rear-seat delete and modified navigation screen and gauge cluster. Even the Mustang's projector puddle lights have been changed to show an aircraft silhouette - rather than the Mustang's galloping horse logo - when the doors are open.
Themes for previous EAA charity cars include the Blue Angels, SR-71 Blackbird and the Red Tails as well as the F-22 Raptor-inspired AV8R and AV-X10 "Dearborn Doll" models. Scroll down for the press release for the 2014 Ford Mustang GT US Air Force Thunderbirds Edition, and be sure to check out our galleries for all six aviation-themed Mustangs.
