1997 F-350 Crew Cab Power Stroke ,4x4, Long Bed on 2040-cars
Chambersburg, Pennsylvania, United States
|
This is a hard to find classic Ford diesel truck. I liken it to a Boss 429 Mustang. It's the final year of production for this sharp body style. F-350 4X4 with the Dana60 straight front axle, four door cab and the long bed. This old truck is in very nice condition for it's age. It has 3.55 gearing with plenty of pep, but will run down the highway at 80MPH. It runs,drives,stops,steers and shifts very well. You can drive it on the interstate with a thumb and a finger. It doesn't shake, shimmy or pull. This truck has been garage kept and adult owned. It's bone stock and never messed with or abused. It's never had a gooseneck or a fifth wheel hitch. It does have a class 3 rear hitch with both electrical plugs and an electric brake control under the dash. The tires are oversized LT 305/70R 16 with 4 to 7/32 nds. of tread. The tall tires do cause the speedometer to read a little slow.The interior is near perfect and the body is very nice with the exception of the rear wheel wells. When I got it out to take these pictures it did smoke a little until it warmed up. But, it had not been started for a month or so. It's very nice and dry underneath and doesn't leak on the garage floor. I have listed the defects and will answer any questions that you may have about the truck. You may come see and drive it before bidding if you like. I want the buyer to be pleased, and if you like the older Ford diesel trucks, you will surely like this one. Check out the pictures, as I tried to include all aspects of the good and the bad points. Don't be affraid to drive this truck home if you are the winning bidder. I'm located in South Central PA. just off of I-81. Please don't try to scam or mislead me in any way. I would like to let the auction do it's thing and not sell it early. A $500 Pay Pal deposit is due within 24hr. of the end of the auction, and pick up of the truck should be within 10 days with the balance being paid in cash. Thanks for looking and good luck.

IIHS says these are the safest cars of 2013
Wed, 02 Jan 2013The Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS) has revealed its annual list of Top Safety Picks, an award that highlights automobiles it says offer "superior crash protection." A new and still more significant award, the Top Safety Pick+ honor, is given to those vehicles that earn good ratings for occupant protection in four out of five areas of measure. And while some 117 vehicles were given the TSP seal of approval for 2013, just 13 passed muster for TSP+.
To be fair, IIHS only evaluated 29 vehicles with its new testing procedures for TSP+ (we'd expect that the number of qualified cars will rise substantially for 2014). Luxury and Near Luxury midsize cars were the first groups evaluated, followed by midsizers in the Moderately Priced Cars category - unsurprisingly, it's only midsize cars that you'll find among the class this year.
Only two luxury sedans made the list of 13 for 2013: the Acura TL and Volvo S60. The other 11 cars on the list included entries from domestic, Japanese and German car makers: Dodge Avenger, Chrysler 200, Ford Fusion, Honda Accord (sedan and coupe), Kia Optima (but not its close kin, the Hyundai Sonata, strangely), Nissan Altima, Subaru Legacy and Outback, Suzuki Kizashi and the Volkswagen Passat all made the grade.
Toyota, Ford and Honda again top Consumer Reports Car-Brand Perception Survey
Fri, 01 Feb 2013Consumer Reports has released its annual Car-Brand Perception Survey, and the list looks awfully familiar. The top six brands are identical to last year's results, with Toyota, Ford and Honda continuing to occupy the podium. All told, Toyota walked away with 133 points, putting it 15 ahead of second-place Ford. Honda jumped 26 points this year, narrowing Ford's lead to just four points in total.
Consumer Reports polls buyers from across the country on how they see multiple brands in seven categories, including quality, safety, value, performance, design/style, technology/innovation and environmentally friendly/green. Researchers then combine the findings to come up with the total brand score.
While value and performance remain important to buyers, CR found quality and safety are still on top when it comes to significance. Scion and Mitsubishi found themselves at the bottom of the pack with the worst score of all, tied at just six points. Ram, Fiat and Mini filled out the lowest five with scores of seven, eight and 10 points, respectively. You can read the full press release below for more information, or head over to the Consumer Reports site.
Car-crazy 5-year-old boy writes automakers for treasures, gets big response
Fri, Jan 25 2019Part of the beauty of children is that they can find worth in something adults might deem unworthy or overlook entirely. Five-year-old Patch Hurty didn't see garbage or a broken piece of a car when he spotted a Ford badge lying on the side of a road. He saw an artifact, a souvenir, a start to a collection he could only dream of. Ezra Dyer of Popular Mechanics tells the story of Patch and his quest to turn that one lost badge into a museum of manufacturer logos. According to the article, Hurty is a car fanatic through and through, even using car names as a way of learning to read. After finding the Ford badge near his Connecticut home, he and his mom put together a plan to reach out to dozens of automakers, confessing his love of things on four wheels. In each letter, Patch assembled a picture of himself standing next to one of the cars, and a penny to pay for whatever he hoped was sent his way. The response was unexpectedly and overwhelmingly positive. Of the more than 50 letters he sent out, including to obscure or defunct companies such as Bugatti, Suzuki, and Saturn, a majority responded with warm notes and some type of souvenir. Two of the coolest responses came from Lincoln and Bentley. Lincoln sent a sketch of a Continental (all car lovers enjoy drawing cars, right?), and Bentley sent a wheel center cap. How awesome is that? The story reminds us of something that can easily be lost in all of the negativity involved with the auto industry: Everybody is in this because of a common infatuation with automobiles. For more details on the souvenirs Patch received and accompanying photos, read the rest of the story. Related Video: News Source: Popular Mechanics Read This Bentley Bugatti Ford Lincoln Saturn Suzuki
