This is one of the sharpest F250's around. I have yet to see another with this color scheme.  It is a short bed crew cab 4x4.  This does have the sought after 7.3 liter International engine. It has a plug in block heater if you have to leave it out.  It will start at any temp, any day.  It does not smoke.  It runs like it did off the lot.  I have put 80,000 miles on it since I purchased it from my brother in law who is meticulous.  It has big exhaust.  New stainless tips.  All four new shocks.  All new glow plugs.  Brand new oversized tires!  Everything works.  Power locks/windows, cruise, cd with auxilary for i pod or android phone.  K&N filter and cold air intake.  Old school Super Chips programmer.  It only goes to 80 HP on the max setting, so it is very safe.  My brother in law was a trucker and wanted more gauges, so he put in the 3 pod set on the window post. (EGT, Tranny temp, and Boost).  This truck had a brand new tranny put in at 80,000 miles.  It has never skipped a beat for me.  I have never done anything, nor needed to except put on tires, general up keep, etc.  I put $800 worth of glow plugs last year to find out that it was just a bad solenoid that activated them...  This truck is very, very clean for a 2000.  People are constantly complementing it and thinking it is much newer.  It sounds awesome, nice and mellow, not loud and obnoxious.  It has a flip up ball in the bed for a fifth wheel.  I occasionally pulled my gooseneck flatbed to get an antique tractor.  Other than that I don't pull with it much.  It does have the trailer brake hookup.  My brother in law pulled a camper to its spot in the spring and home in the fall.  You will be very impressed with how new this truck feels and looks.  The only bad is a small dent in the front bumper. (cement post at a gas station) and the under side of the front two doors are getting a small bit of rust starting that can be stopped easily.  This truck is rust free other than that.  Always been garaged with heat.  Always washed and clean.  Call me don't email.  319-231-8974.  I am open to offers, if they are reasonable and in person.  You can scour craigslist and ebay etc and will not find 7.3's for sale in this condition.   This is a great find.  The truck has 193,000.  Just broke in.

Junkyard Gem: 1993 Mercury Topaz GS Sedan

Sat, Aug 13 2022

As long as the Mercury brand existed — a period spanning the 1939 through 2011 model years — nearly every Mercury sold in the United States was more or less a redecorated Ford model. The Torino had its Montego sibling, the Crown Victoria had the Grand Marquis, the Cougar was based on everything from the Mustang to the Mondeo, and so on. Naturally, when the folks in Dearborn developed the Ford Tempo compact, a Mercury version had to be created. This was the Topaz, with the official launch of both cars taking place on the deck of the aircraft carrier often referred to as the USS Decrepit. You can't make this stuff up! The Tempo/Topaz, also known as the Tempaz, has largely faded from our collective automotive memory by now, since it broke no significant new engineering or styling ground (this story would be much different if Ford had only put the amazing straight-eight "T-Drive" Tempaz powertrain into production) and didn't have any endearing features other than being a cheap domestic competitor to the Toyota Corolla and Nissan Sentra. Still, close to 3 million Tempazes left North American Ford and Lincoln-Mercury showrooms during the 1984-1994 period. As you'd expect, most of these disposable cars disappeared from both the street and the car graveyard long ago. It takes a very special Tempaz for me to break out my camera while I'm patrolling my local wrecking yards; generally, this means an ultra-rare all-wheel-drive version or at least a very early model in super-clean condition. Today's Junkyard Gem is neither, but I took one look at this spectacular Bordello Red crypto-velour-and-slippery-plastic interior and recognized that this was no ordinary junkyard Mercury. It appears that Mercury had dropped the idea of clever names for base-grade seat fabrics by the time of the Topaz, referring to this stuff as just "cloth" in all the brochures I could find. That's too bad, because Mercurys had cool names for upholstery (e.g., Chromatex) in the old days. The interior is in very good condition but the steering wheel shows substantial wear, so I think this is a high-mile Topaz that got meticulous care from its owner or owners. Ford used five-digit odometers on these cars until the end of production, however, so we'll never know if this reading indicates 65,404 miles or 365,404 miles. The body is very straight, but there's some nasty corrosion behind the right front wheelwell.

Obama to herald auto industry turnaround from idled Ford plant

Tue, Jan 6 2015

President Barack Obama will tout the recent successes of the American auto industry in a speech on Wednesday. This would be a fine and dandy plan aside from two small hitches. First, the president is visiting Ford's Wayne, MI factory, which is rather strange considering the government bailed out the company's local rivals, Chrysler and General Motors. Even more worrying, considering the topic of the speech, is that the Wayne facility has been idled due to a lack of demand. According to The Detroit News, the White House said the speech will focus on "the workers in the resurgent American automotive and manufacturing sector now that the auto rescue has been completed and the decision to save the auto industry and the over one million jobs that went with it." Wayne Assembly employs some 5,100 Michiganders when its lines are up and running, but as gas prices have plunged below $2 per gallon in some areas over the past month, its fuel-efficient products – the Focus and C-Max – have seen their sales plummet, as well. In December, the Focus' year-over-year sales were down 4.4 percent, while the C-Max dipped 3.3 percent, Ford told The News. Lagging sales for the two compacts aren't a new thing, though. Focus sales in all of 2014 were down 6.4 percent, while the C-Max struggled with a 21.6-percent drop last year. According to The News, Ford made the decision to idle the factory before being approached by the White House. Considering that, we wonder what the team at 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue was thinking when it selected the Ford facility, and what impact the location will have on the president's message.

Jay Leno and Lee Iacocca reflect on 50 years of Ford Mustang

Mon, 30 Dec 2013

Lee Iacocca oversaw the birth of the Ford Mustang back in the 1960s, rocketing the new pony car nameplate into million-unit sales territory in its initial go-round and cementing its place in the history books. Thus, we were immediately drawn to this latest episode of Jay Leno's Garage, in which the funnyman hosts Iacocca for a look at the origins of Ford's most iconic sports car. The legendary auto exec is looking notably more frail than when we last saw him, but if we're being asked around as a video guest when we're 89 years old, we'll consider that evidence of a life well lived.
Serial No. 0001 is on hand for the occasion for Jay's romp through history, as is the historic Mustang 1 showcar from 1962. Of course, the all-new 2015 Ford Mustang GT (in prototype form) makes an appearance at the end of the episode with chief engineer Dave Pericak, as well. Get some, below.
