There can only be one new owner of this totally functional solid driver at this bargain price. Impressive "driver". Starts & runs very nicely, no smoke or overheating. Lots of power/pep. Starts with key, original toggle "ON" switch, & push button. Second gear works fine, but catches a little once in awhile. Old or patina is the paint description (age cracks that are not letting go; mostly tailgate: see tailgate picture). Mostly solid minimal rust original. Exceptions are 12 volt system & later year flathead V8. Has new glass pack mufflers which gives it a nice rod sound, but not too loud. The wood rails added to the bed top is done very nicely. Rust free frame & over-all body. Some minor areas need attention. All glass is new (both door windows roll easy ). Doors open/close flush & firm; no drops/rubbing or squeaks. Bed wood & metal retainers are good. The interior is great with gauges working. Interior dome light added & works. The cab floor & firewall have complete Ford aftermarket repro insulation installed (under rubber mat also). One sun visor (as originally was equipped). Wiper does work, but 6 inches & slow. Steering wheel horn button works & an added ahooga horn with a seperate button, works. All lights & directionals work (four way also). The added "spot lights" on the left & right of windshield do not work & are for nostalgic finness? I guess they could be wired to light & then add blackout/shade out flaps (many of these trucks did their World War two civil service civilian attack watch duty)? This had a long time owner. Always garaged in his ownership. Clear Florida title. 904-881-3495. Old Bronco's are going for $20k+. Here is a pre WWII, most popular year/style, more than just novalty. Drive as is, or make it a $40k piece of art. So far, I've had a local decent cash offer & an even trade offer of a 37 chevy coupe hot rodded ($34k asking on window for sale; rack/pinion steer; A/C; custom interior; rear air hydraulic levelers, etc). These offerees have seen & drove the truck. This listing has been set to auto assign relist at end of this listing if not sold; same terms/price. An automatic "accept" price has been checked in the "make offer" options. This means if met, you could win & own unless a different bidder outbids @ last minute. |

Ford paying $750 million just to close plant in Belgium
Thu, 21 Mar 2013According to a report from Reuters, Ford is shelling out $750 million in a severance deal that will see the automaker close its facility in Genk, Belgium. The automaker reached this deal with the 4,000 hourly workers employed at the plant last week, which means the company will pay out an average of $187,500 per worker.
Ford is still negotiating with the 300 salaried workers at the factory, which currently produces the Mondeo sedan. All told, Ford expects to lose around $2 billion in Europe thanks in no small part to the region's ongoing economic downturn, and two more plants are scheduled to be shut down in Europe this year. The company will log its $750 million payout under "special items" for this quarter.
As you may recall, Ford took a similar path in the US back in 2009 when the domestic market took a spill. Back then, the company shelled out around $50,000 per employee with at least one year of experience, plus either $25,000 toward a new car or an extra cash payment of $20,000. It would seem the cost of closing plants in Belgium is a much harder pill to swallow than in the States...
Ford forced to recall Escape over fire risk yet again
Tue, 26 Nov 2013Recalls happen. Automakers hope they won't, but they do. And that's alright, for the most part, because cars are designed (and to a large degree still made) by humans, and humans make mistakes. So we forgive them, as long as the problem is resolved. Only in the case of the Ford Escape, the problem seems to keep coming back.
That's why Ford is calling in the Escape yet again due to fire concerns. The issue revolves around problematic fuel lines in 9,469 units manufactured between October 5, 2011, and July 11, 2012, all of which use the 1.6-liter EcoBoost inline four-cylinder engine.
As you yourself may recall, the Escape was subject to a string of recalls last year that resulted in a $17 million fine. One of them was over this very same issue, which Ford apparently didn't rectify the first time around. Let's hope this time is the last time.
2016 Ford Explorer order guide revealed
Wed, Jan 21 2015The configurator for the refreshed 2016 Ford Explorer is already up and running. However, if you're the type of person that really likes to dig into the nitty-gritty of a vehicle's features, then the order guide for this latest Ford is now available (pictured right). While the documents don't list fuel economy, engine power or pricing, they give a precise idea of all of the differences separating each of the five trim levels: Base, XLT, Limited, Sport and Platinum. In addition to the tweaked styling across the board, even the Base model now features a rearview camera with a washer. There are also three new colors available: Shadow Black, Blue Jeans Metallic and Guard Metallic. Base, XLT and Limited trims are available with either a 3.5-liter V6 or new, optional 2.3-liter EcoBoost four-cylinder. All of them are mated to a six-speed automatic, and all-wheel drive is optional with either engine. The new Platinum trim basically loads the Explorer up with everything imaginable. Power comes from the 3.5-liter EcoBoost V6, matched with all-wheel drive. Plus, the Platinum trim gets standard luxuries like a dual-pane moonroof, adaptive cruise control, a premium sound system and Ford's super-soft Nirvana Leather covering the seats. There are also some new tech features throughout the rest of the lineup. For example, an updated auto-parking system is also available on the Limited but comes standard on the Platinum. Furthermore, a 180-degree front camera and second-row USB charging are optional on the Sport but are standard on the Limited and Platinum. Check out the gallery for even more of the changes.
