I PURCHASED THIS TRUCK A COUPLE YEARS AGO WITH THE INTENT OF BUILDING A CLEAN AND RELIABLE BACK-UP VEHICLE FOR MY LANDSCAPING COMPANY. I HAVE PUT A LOT OF MONEY INTO IT. THE TRUCK RUNS STRONG AND HAS ALWAYS STARTED AND RUN WELL FOR ME. IT HAS LESS THAN 500 MILES ON IT SINCE THE TRANSMISSION REBUILD. I AM SELLING BECAUSE I AM NOW OUT OF THE LANDSCAPING INDUSTRY DUE TO HEALTH PROBLEMS. AS THEY SAY, MY LOSS IS YOUR GAIN. **AT SOME POINT THE ODOMETER STOPPED WORKING- IT ONLY GOES TO 100K AND IT CURRENTLY READS "14,824".** I USED MY IPHONE FOR A SPEEDOMETER AND HADN'T GOTTEN AROUND TO FIXING IT BEFORE I DECIDED TO SELL IT.

THERE ARE A LOT OF DETAILS LISTED IN THE CONDITION ABOVE. I HAVE THE RECEIPT FROM THE TRANSMISSION/ CLUTCH/ FLYWHEEL/ U-JOINTS REBUILD/ REPLACEMENT. ($4463.12) I HAD $1000 WORTH OF WORK DONE TO THE FRONT SUSPENSION. I HAVE TONS OF TIME AND MONEY INTO THE BODY. OLD RUST WAS CUT OUT, NEW ROCKERS, CAB CORNERS, FLOOR PANS, ETC. WELDED IN, TREATED AREAS WITH RUST NEUTRALIZER "POR 15", NEW BODY MOULDING AND ROCK GUARD/ BEDLINER AROUND THE BASE OF CAB.

I USED THE TRUCK TO HAUL SKIDS OF SALT TO A CONDOMINIUM CLIENT I HAD 2 WINTERS AGO AND IT WORKED WELL. I WAS EASILY ABLE TO LOAD 4,000 LBS OF SALT ON PALLETS AND DRIVE SAFELY. THE TRUCK HAS NOT BEEN PLOWED WITH SINCE THE TRANSMISSION REBUILD- NOT 1 TIME. I PUT THE PLOW ON ONLY AS A BACK UP AND IT WAS NEVER NEEDED. PLOW HARNESS WAS NEW 2 SEASONS AGO. THE PLOW IS APPROXIMATELY 9'. THE PLOW MOUNT IS A HYBRID. THE COMPANY I BOUGHT THE TRUCK OFF OF USED IT AS A BACK-UP BUT THEY USED WESTIN. I HAD HINIKER SO I WELDED THE NEEDED PIECES TOGETHER FOR THE NEW MOUNT. I DROVE THIS TRUCK APPROX 250 MILES ON THE INTERSTATE WHEN I MOVED LAST YEAR (WITH PLOW AND TRAILER) AND IT RAN STRONG, NO PROBLEMS. RECOMMEND INSPECTING PLOW MOUNT TO MAKE SURE YOU ARE SATISFIED, ETC. PHOTO INCLUDED.

I DID USE IT TO DELIVER APPROXIMATELY 5 LOADS OF MULCH LAST YEAR. I DROVE IT AN AVERAGE OF 1X PER MONTH SINCE I HAVE OWNED IT. I DID NOT RUN IT LAST WINTER AT ALL. I WENT OUT TO START IT ABOUT A MONTH AGO AND IT STARTED RIGHT UP ON THE FIRST CRANK. I DID NOT EVEN NEED TO CHARGE THE BATTERY.

THE TRUCK RAN GOOD WHEN I PURCHASED IT BUT I BEGAN REPLACING THE COMPONENTS THAT I DIDN'T WANT TO REPLACE WHEN IT WAS 5 BELOW OR 95 IN THE SHADE. I HATE TO SELL IT BECAUSE OF THE MONEY (NOT TO MENTION TIME) THAT I HAVE PUT INTO IT. HOWEVER, I WOULD RATHER SOMEONE ELSE GET TO USE IT THAN HAVE IT SIT AT MY HOUSE.

THIS IS NOT A SHOW TRUCK BUT IS A PRESENTABLE WORK TRUCK. I AM NOT A PROFESSIONAL MECHANIC OR BODY MAN. I AM SURE THAT I HAVE INADVERTENTLY FORGOTTEN TO MENTION SOME THINGS. FEEL FREE TO CONTACT ME TO LOOK AT THIS TRUCK IN PERSON.

I WANT YOU TO BID ON WHAT IT IS AND NOTHING ELSE. TRUCK SOLD AS IS, WHERE IS. I AM NOT OFFERING A WARRANTY AT THIS TIME.

THANK YOU FOR LOOKING.

2015 Ford Mustang Convertible makes inappropriate appearance in Detroit [w/video]

Tue, 14 Jan 2014

With the polar vortex fresh in the minds of Autoblog's Detroit-based staff, we're finding it funny that any manufacturer would choose January in the Motor City to show off a new and highly anticipated convertible to the general media and public for the first time. But Ford has done just that, giving us our first real peek at the new Mustang Convertible in the flesh.
The new Mustang Convertible is more or less unchanged from the standard coupe, with some subtle styling tweaks to accommodate the retractable soft top. Engine and transmission choices are identical to the hardtop, although we should expect slightly lower performance due to the hardware for the roof. Like the coupe, neither prices nor performance metrics have been published yet for the convertible.

1964 Ford GT40 prototype to be auctioned in April

Wed, 12 Mar 2014

The Ford GT40 owns a firm spot on the list of the greatest American racecars ever made, being the first car from the United States to take an overall win in the 24 Hours of Le Mans. And now Mecum will auction what it claims is second-oldest GT40 still in existence at its Houston sale on April 12.
The story of the GT40 is fascinating. Henry Ford II attempted to buy Ferrari in the early '60s, but Enzo refused. Ford decided if he couldn't have them, then he would beat the Prancing Horse on the track. Ford went to Carroll Shelby and asked him to spearhead the program. The early cars combined a steel monocoque chassis with Ford's 4.2-liter V8 engine pumping out around 350 horsepower. The first prototype made its public debuted on April 1, 1964, at the New York Auto Show.
Shelby kept building prototypes, including GT/104, which is for sale here. This version featured a lighter steel chassis and was raced at Le Mans in 1964. However, a fire forced it to retire. It was then repainted and had a 4.7-liter (289-cubic-inch) engine fitted. The chassis had its best finish at the 1965 Daytona Continental 2,000 Kilometers where it finished third with Bob Bondurant and Ritchie Ginther behind the wheel. Later that season, it was shipped back to Ford where it was restored and displayed at auto shows until 1971 when the automaker sold it. Since then, it has had many private owners.

2015 Ford F-150's aluminum body not expected to hurt resale value

Fri, Mar 13 2015

A cloud of skepticism has hung over the 2015 Ford F-150 since even before it went on sale. The issue had nothing to do with the truck's capabilities but instead over reservations about the switch to aluminum body panels. The change helped shed about 700 pounds off the scales, but the lighter metal also came with the potential for higher repair costs. Edmunds even recently whacked its pickup with a hammer just to find out how much it would cost. However, this might not be a problem, because the latest calculations indicate resale value for the new F-150 is on the rise. The residual experts at ALG estimate that the 2015 F-150 is going to hold 58 percent of its value over the next three years, versus 52 percent for the 2014 model, according to Bloomberg. That figure also gives the Ford the highest forecasted resale value among American fullsize pickups. The 2015 Toyota Tundra leads the segment by holding 63 percent. Meanwhile, the 2015 Chevrolet Silverado and GMC Sierra both come in with 51 percent, and the Ram 1500 holds 46 percent. Finally, the 2015 Nissan Titan comes in at 42 percent. The researchers believe that the improvement in fuel economy for the 2015 F-150 at up to 26 miles per gallon highway offsets higher body repair costs. "We are giving credit for the aluminum construction in the fuel efficiency we're seeing," Eric Lyman, ALG vice president of industry insights, said to Bloomberg. "We are not putting in a negative adjustment for concerns around repair costs or durability associated with aluminum." Ford has long-been preparing for the switch to aluminum. The company purposefully designed the body sections to make repairs easier, and it also partially subsidized dealers' investments for new equipment to do the work. Related Video:
