This is a mild custom original.  Has a 50's Mercury flathead V8 with tri-power.  Converted to 12 Volts.  Also, has a 1997 S-10 five speed manual transmission which seems to be a perfect fit & easy shifting (& has a new clutch recently). 

Most else is original & well taken care of by long time owner. 

New tires have just been put on, with 16's, but bigger size in the back (spare is also new).  New electric fuel pump, but a new original type mechanical comes with it also.  It has sort of a VW horn (operated via foot button to left of clutch pedalL, but comes with a new ahooga horn. 

Starts easy & runs smooth.  New mufflers make it sound mild hum/roar.  Gauges work except for the gas gauge which needs to be calibrated to the new Ford sending unit ( I have the gentleman's name to get this done; otherwise just keep the new poly tank filled).  The lights were working but the guy I bought it from said a new switch was needed & one is supplied with purchase.  I may tinker to figure it out.  The fog lights work on a seperate switch.  There is a lighter socket plug in for a supplied handheld fan/heater (maybe defrost back-up).  It probably could be mounted for more convenience.  Truck is a hoot to drive & scoots for an old school HP.

Comes with 7 period hubcaps & 6 beauty rings.  Or, you can leave them off (see the driver side picture with all OFF; passenger side all hubcaps & beauty rings on for preferred look comparison; I prefer the hubcap & beauty ring look).  Two extra rims & I think two tires. 

Needed items eventually: minimal rust at driver door back corner & rain catcher/gutter.  Couple small bubbles on passenger door & less issue @ rain gutter.  The new light installed, as mentioned.  All the glass is excellent/new, but the driver's door roll-up glass has a crack.  It rolls up/down smoothly & is not going to fall out.  Passenger door window winds up/down smooth also. 

The bed wood looks to be original or replaced @ older restore.  It is very solid antique wood/hold down strips.  The truck underside/frame is excellent with no rust.  The hood sections were just sat on for pictures & not latched tight (usually left off for cool engine seeing).  The crank out windshield & air intake cowl port both work easily.

As can be seen, every exhaust part is new.  The doors close tight, evenly & snug with no drop in hinges or latches.


On Feb-05-14 at 13:15:27 PST, seller added the following information:

I meant to put in a picture of the bed wood, but do to limited picture loading on this format, I could not.  I can send more pictures to any email or maybe thru ebay.  The wood is aged but not rotting or need replacement. 


On Feb-05-14 at 15:31:31 PST, seller added the following information:

Has two gas caps, one regular, one locking (whichever owner prefers).  Has temperature gauge radiator cap.  The added tach works.  Also, a period dash glove box clock (would have to install; came on deluxe model?); could use new glass; I have the address of gentleman that has one & will install the new glass, free or inexpensively).

Consumer Reports explains its disdain for infotainment

Thu, 20 Mar 2014

One of the perks of reviewing all manner of cars and trucks is that we're exposed to all the different infotainment systems. Whether Cadillac's CUE, Chrysler's UConnect, BMW's iDrive or MyFord Touch, we sample each and every infotainment system on the market.
Not surprisingly, some are better than others. It seems consumers have come to a similar consensus, with Consumer Reports claiming that Ford and Lincoln, Cadillac and Honda offer the worst user infotainment experiences. Not surprisingly, you won't find much argument among the Autoblog staff.
Take a look below to see just what it is about the latest batch of infotainment systems that grinds CR's gears. After that, scroll down into Comments and let us know if you agree with the mag's views.

Ford recalls 9,900 vehicles across two campaigns

Tue, Dec 29 2015

Ford is recalling a total of 9,885 vehicles in two campaigns. The Basics: In one recall, Ford will recall 9,017 examples of the 2013 Escape with build dates from January 11, 2012, to April 1, 2013, and the 2013-2014 Focus ST produced between May 3, 2012, and October 14, 2013. The Problem: Splices in the engine wiring harness might not have enough compression, and this can cause the manifold absolute pressure sensor to send incorrect signals to the powertrain control module. This issue could cause the engine to stall. Injuries/Deaths: None reported. The Fix: Dealers will replace the current crimped splices with new splices, according to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration. If You Own One: The repair campaign will begin on January 4, 2016. More Information: Ford recalled the 2013 Escape and Focus ST in August 2014 for the same problem, and this is an expansion of that campaign, according to company spokesperson John Cangany to Autoblog. The Basics: In the smaller of the two campaigns, Ford will recall 868 examples of the 2013 Explorer, Explorer Police Utility, Taurus, Taurus Police Interceptor, Flex, Lincoln MKS, and MKT. The Problem: The fuel delivery module can crack, which would cause a fuel leak. Injuries/Deaths: None reported. The Fix: Dealers will replace the fuel delivery module. If You Own One: Owners should receive notice soon because NHTSA's report says the recall begins in December. More Information: According to Cangany, this recall is an expansion of a campaign from 2013 for these vehicles. RECALL Subject : Engine Wiring Splices may cause Stall Report Receipt Date: DEC 02, 2015 NHTSA Campaign Number: 15V813000 Component(s): ELECTRICAL SYSTEM Potential Number of Units Affected: 9,017 All Products Associated with this Recall Vehicle Make Model Model Year(s) FORD ESCAPE 2013 FORD FOCUS 2013-2014 Details Manufacturer: Ford Motor Company SUMMARY: Ford Motor Company (Ford) is recalling certain model year 2013 Escape vehicles manufactured January 11, 2012, to April 1, 2013, and 2013-2014 Focus ST vehicles manufactured May 03, 2012, to October 14, 2013. Insufficient compression in the engine wiring harness splices to the Manifold Absolute Pressure (MAP) sensor may provide incorrect signals to the powertrain control module (PCM). CONSEQUENCE: The incorrect signals could cause the vehicle to hesitate or the engine to stall, increasing the risk of a crash.

NHTSA investigating 500k Ford and Mercury cars for lighting failures

Mon, Apr 6 2015

The Ford Crown Victoria and Mercury Grand Marquis might be long gone as new models in showrooms, but the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration might check them out yet again for a potential problem. At the urging of North Carolina Consumers Council, the agency may open another investigation into the front lighting control module on vehicles from the 2003-2005 model years, and NHTSA estimates the issue could affect 517,945 vehicles. If the module stops working, it can cause a complete failure of all forward lighting, including the headlights. NHTSA previously investigated the issue in 2008 and 2009 but found no need for a recall, according to Bloomberg. Ford also extended the warranty on the part to 15 years or 250,000 miles. To prompt this new request, the North Carolina Consumers Council received a letter from a woman experiencing the module's failure. Upon further investigation, the council found 604 complaints of this problem on NHTSA's website, including seven crashes. Furthermore, the group has alleged that dealers told customers that the parts to perform the replacement weren't available, despite the extended warranty. According to the government agency, "A defect petition has been opened to evaluate the issue and make a grant or deny decision." Ford spokesperson Kelli Felker tells Autoblog via email, "We will cooperate with NHTSA, as we always do." You can read the council's complete letter to the Feds in PDF format, here. INVESTIGATION Subject : Loss of headlamp/exterior lighting Date Investigation Opened: APR 01, 2015 Date Investigation Closed: Open NHTSA Action Number: DP15002 Component(s): EXTERIOR LIGHTING All Products Associated with this Investigation Vehicle Make Model Model Year(s) FORD CROWN VICTORIA 2003-2005 MERCURY GRAND MARQUIS 2003-2005 Details Manufacturer: Ford Motor Company SUMMARY: The Office of Defects Investigation (ODI) has received a petition from the North Carolina Consumers Council, Inc. requesting a defect investigation of an alleged defect condition resulting in headlight and/or exterior lighting failure on 2003-2005 Ford Crown Victoria and Mercury Grand Marquis vehicles. The petition letter is attached for review. The petitioner alleges a defect in the lighting control module that powers the headlights which can result in the loss of vehicle headlights and/or all exterior lighting while driving. ODI has previously investigated this issue under PE08-066 which was closed without a defect finding.
