This auction is for a 1993 Ford F250 heavy duty pick up truck that we have owned for about 4 years after purchasing it from the original owner.  They were selling it due to the fact that they were elderly and after damaging the front fender on a guard rail, decided it was too big for them to handle and we were the lucky ones to buy it. Infact, the next owner will receive the picture of the original owner that we keep on the sunvisor.  We keep it there to keep him in our thoughts since he sold us such a great truck which we are thankful for.   Over the years, the truck has been ultra reliable for us and has done everything we asked it to do which was mainly to haul our 30ft and 36ft travel trailers and to make trips out of state to pick up cars.  We do not think twice or hesitate to drive it anywhere.  Why are we selling it?  We have sold our house and are moving to Florida and are only taking two of our 5 cars and selling the other three.  We have already sold our campers and do not need the truck anymore.
The truck has only 131,XXX miles on it which is a low 6K per year and has another 100,000 left in it.  The engine is the 5.7 liter 460 and will pull just about everything.  It runs well for us but is due for a tune up.  One side of the exhaust has a leak, but the other side has a new gasket.  The A/C compressor was removed, but all of the lines are there if the new owner wanted to put a compressor back in.  It starts every time and runs all day.
The body is decent with the exception of the crinkled front fender and surrounding area that you can see in the pictures.  The bed is a full size 8ft unit and is equipped with a 5th wheel hitch which is removable when not needed.  The cab is an extended cab and can fit 3 adults or 4 children in the back seat, or it can be folded down to store your gear.  The front seats are bucket seats which is much more comfortable than the standard bench seat.  The upholstery is very good for the year of the truck.  The radio works intermittently and comes on sometimes and is always guaranteed to shut off during a good song or during a funny part of Car Talk on NPR.  The tires are ok but one rear on has some cracking in the sidewall.

Overall, this is just a good honest truck that has faithfully served us well over the years and one that we would never be selling if we weren't moving to Florida.  It is not perfect by any means, but it will serve the new owner well for years to come. 
We highly recommend any potential buyer to come over and look at it in person PRIOR TO BIDDING or send an auto inspection service to give a report.  Local bidders are encouraged to bring their mechanic to inspect it, again, prior to bidding.  We love this truck and think very highly of it and want the new owners to feel the same.
A $300 deposit is required immediately at the end of auction by paypal, and the balance is due within 7 days after the auction is done which is when we would like it picked up by then.  Title is free and clear.

Ford GT40 makes historic return to racing at Goodwood

Wed, 23 Oct 2013

Is there a more iconic, American racecar than the Ford GT40? That may be a discussion for another day (although by all means, tell us how wrong we are in Comments), but this video of heaps of GT40s running in the Goodwood Revival races certainly has us thinking that Ford's Ferrari-killer might just be the best racer the Land Of The Free and Home Of The Brave has ever come up with.
That's completely ignoring the fact that the GT40 was largely developed by Brits using American money, but that's besides the point (there was also a rather brash Texan, who had a big role later in development). The resulting vehicle was dominant, besting the cars of Il Commendatore from 1966 to 1969, although it should be noted that Ford's GT40 was unable to beat Ferrari in its first two Le Mans outings in 1964 and 1965.
Those four years of dominance, which started with Ford sweeping the podium, were enough to establish the GT40's legend. And now, here we are almost 50 years later, celebrating the mid-engined monsters at Goodwood, in their first ever one-make race. Take a look below for the entire video.

The USPS needs 180,000 new delivery vehicles, automakers gearing up to bid

Wed, Feb 18 2015

Winning the New York City Taxi of Tomorrow tender was a huge prize for Nissan, even though the company is still working through the process of claiming its prize. The United States Postal Service has begun the process to take bids for a new delivery vehicle to replace the all-too-familiar Grumman Long Life Vehicle, and that will be a much larger plum for the automaker who wins it, perhaps worth more than six billion dollars. The Grumman LLV is an aluminum body covering a Chevrolet S-10 pickup chassis and General Motors' Iron Duke four-cylinder engine. The USPS bought them from 1987 to 1994, and the 163,000 of them still in service are a monumental drain on postal resources: they get roughly ten miles to the gallon instead of the quoted 16 mpg, drink up more than $530 million in fuel each year, and their constant repair needs like the balky sliding door and leaky windshields have led the service to increase the annual maintenance budget from $100 million to $500 million. A seat belt is about as modern as it gets for safety technology, and the USPS says that assuming things stay the same, it can't afford to run them beyond 2017. Last year it put out two triage requests for proposals seeking 10,000 new chassis and drivetrains for the Grumman and 10,000 new vehicles. The LLV is also too small for the modern mail system in which package delivery is growing and letter delivery is declining. The service says it doesn't have a fixed idea of the ideal "next-generation delivery vehicles," but it listed a number of requirements in its initial request and is open to any proposal. Carriers have some suggestions, though, saying they want better cupholders, sun visors that they can stuff letters behind, a driver's compartment free of slits that can swallow mail, and a backup camera. The request for information sent to automakers pegs the tender at 180,000 vehicles that would cost between $25,000 and $35,000 apiece, and it will hold a conference on February 18 to answer questions about the contract. GM is the only domestic maker to avow an interest, while Ford and Fiat-Chrysler have remained cagey. Yet with a possible $6.3 billion up for grabs and some new vans for sale that would be advertised on every block in the country, we have a feeling everyone will be listening closely come February 18. We also have a feeling the LeMons series is going to be flooded with Grummans come 2017. News Source: Wall Street Journal, Automotive News - sub.

Ford F-150 EcoBoost in NHTSA probe for acceleration issue

Tue, 28 May 2013

According to Automotive News, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration is launching a probe into 400,000 Ford F-150 models over possible acceleration problems. According to the article, NHTSA has received 95 reports "alleging incidents of reduced engine power during hard accelerations" on 2011 to 2013 F-150 models equipped with the company's 3.5-liter EcoBoost V6 engine.
Automotive News reports that Ford has issued three technical service bulletins "related to intermittent stumble/misfire on acceleration from highway cruise in humid or damp conditions," according to the government agency's documents. About one third of the 95 reports NHTSA has received cited humid or rainy conditions when these problems allegedly occurred.
These technical service bulletins have allowed dealers to address a "condition related to moisture accumulation in the charge air cooler during extended highway cruising at constant throttle in humid or damp conditions," AN reports, citing NHTSA documents. Furthermore, the TSB outlines details for "reprogramming the powertrain control module with the latest calibration and installing a new CAC and air deflector plate."
