This is a NO RESERVE auction for a 2008 Ford F350 XLT Super Duty that needs engine work. Her interior and exterior condition are very good. She starts right up and idles perfectly. There are no problems with acceleration if she is in park or neutral. Please read this carefully. The problem with the truck is that she will be driving just fine and out of nowhere and usually at the most inopportune moment she starts smoking, running erratically and then dies. Once she cools down, she starts up fine and drives fine until this happens all over again. We thought it was an oil problem and installed brand new twin turbos and this did not help. The previous owner thought it was a problem with the EGR. He installed EGR coolers, radiator, a bunch of sensors in the exhaust and a new ECU. This did not solve the problem. She goes really quickly into regen mode. There has been a compression test done and it was fine. There are no knocks in the engine. There is an exterior oil leak. Everything seems fine until it warms up and you start driving it. I am trying to provide as much information as I can. As a person who buys and sells trucks regularly I get tired of everyone selling a truck for their "friend, relative, etc" and nobody has driven the truck in a year but last time they did she ran good, or so they say:) This is a great project for a mechanically inclined person and I want you to know what you are dealing with. If you would like to come and look at her prior to bidding, please call 850-687-8756 and I will be happy to schedule a time. If you have any questions or want more information, just text or call me.
I am selling her as a No Reserve Auction, because I do not have the time, resources or proper scanning tool to give her any more attention. She could be a great truck or a great opportunity for a good profit margin. Serious buyers only please, only bid if you understand her condition and can pay.
On Jun-30-13 at 11:52:32 PDT, seller added the following information:*This truck is also for sale locally, so the auction could end early.

Shelby to auction 2012 GT350 No. 1 in Vegas
Thu, 19 Sep 2013With Shelby preparing to wind down production of its brutal GT350, a 624-horsepower Mustang that's meant to go up against the Roush Stage 3 in the world of tuned Ford ponycars, the Las Vegas-based tuner is looking to give back to one lucky customer. It'll auction off the very first GT350 ever produced, at the 2013 Barrett-Jackson auction in Las Vegas, a three-day event that runs from September 26 through September 28.
The GT350 is a monster, with a 5.0-liter, supercharged V8 that's been tuned well past 600 horsepower in a time when Ford's own Shelby-branded GT500 barely reached 550 horsepower. The GT350 is much louder than Ford's effort, too, both visually and audibly. The wide body look isn't what we'd call conventional, but on a car that sounds and goes like this, something extreme is needed. According to Shelby American's vice president of production, Gary Davis, "Carroll was very excited about the new wide body option, so that was included on this car. It's the first 2012 GT350 serial number from our anniversary year. It is a very special car." Wilwood brakes, a massaged suspension, and some very fat, sticky tires add to the Shelby experience.
This particular GT350 will be lot number 750, and will cross the Barrett-Jackson stage on Sunday, September 28.
2014 Ford Cobra Jet announced with new colors, parachute mount
Fri, 22 Mar 2013Ford's drag-strip-ready Mustang Cobra Jet is back for 2014, and it's sporting a few changes to make it even better - both in competition and while sitting still. Rolling off the assembly line ready for duty in the NHRA Stock or Super Stock classes, production of the 2014 Cobra Jet is limited to just 50 units.
Racing upgrades for 2014 include the addition of a new three-speed transmission and a parachute mount, and while these will make the car better in the quarter mile, the Cobra Jet's new colors will make it look better tearing down the track. Buyers can now get their racecars painted up in Gotta Have-It Green or a custom, Cobra Jet-exclusive matte black hue. Ford and Ford Racing have already teamed up to make this an incredible factory drag racer with a full rollcage, massive Hoosier slicks, a race-tuned suspension setup and a supercharged 5.0-liter V8. Now, if only wheelie bars came standard...
Unlike the confusing third-party ordering system announced for the COPO Camaro, all you need to snatch up a 2014 Cobra Jet is $97,990 and good timing (as the cars will be sold on a first-come, first-served basis). Ordering opens up next month with production commencing in July. Check out the press release below.
EU formally questions French government assistance of Peugeot's finance arm
Fri, 28 Dec 2012Recently, the finance arm of PSA/Peugeot-Citroën was in such debt trouble that it was pricing itself out of the car loan market. The rates it was paying to service its debt, which was rated one step above junk, were so high that it was forced to charge car-buying customers higher rates than they could find elsewhere. This was adding to Peugeot's already impressive woes by sending revenue out the door to competitors.
Two months ago a deal was worked out with the French government whereby the state would provide 7 billion euro ($9 billion USD) in bonds to guarantee the finance arm's loans. The French government could nominate someone to join the Peugeot board, Peugeot would guarantee more French jobs, and on top of that deal, other banks would provide non-guaranteed loans. The government would take no equity stake in the car company.
Although not yet finalized, the arrangement is meant to create some breathing room for Peugeot Finance to lower its interest rates for customers, and a government-nominated board member, Louis Gallois, was recently named to Peugeot's supervisory board. The arrangement was also openly questioned by at least three competitors: Ford, Renault - which is 15-percent owned by the French government after it received state aid - and the German state of Lower Saxony, itself a 15-percent shareholder in Volkswagen.
