1978 Ford Courier, 1.8L engine, 5 speed manual transmission, 93726 miles. The truck is in good mechanical condition. The body is in descent shape. There are a few small dents and dings on the truck and the front bumper has a dent in it on the passenger side. The paint is faded, with some surface rust, more on the passenger side than on the driver's side. The interior is in good shape. The dash pad is cracked, mostly around where the speaker is. Seat and door panels are in good shape. All the glass is good. The floor pans are also in great shape.I bought this truck a couple years ago with 85k original miles and title in hand. After I purchased it, I rebuilt the carb, replaced the brakes, cleaned the gas tank and put new tires on it. I started driving it to work, 38 miles each way and averaged 30-32mpg. Local driving it averaged 28-30 mpg. After driving it a little while I noticed that the valve guide seals were dried out, so I had the head removed and a complete valve job done. The truck runs great and does not smoke. The only issues I'm aware of is the turn signal return inside the steering column is broken out so you have to manually turn the turn signals off and the emergency brake connector inside the passenger side rear wheel is broken.

This truck would be great for a daily driver or for restoration.

I have tried to describe this vehicle the best I can and I hope the pictures help out.

Mileage may increase a small amount during auction.

I reserve to end the auction.

Cash purchase or Certified Cashiers Check. All money will clear before vehicle is released.

Motorweek goes retro with '80s hot hatch shootout

Mon, 03 Nov 2014

Motorweek's decades of history on television make it the perfect medium to look back into the automotive past and see how things are different now. It recently added old road test videos to its YouTube channel of the Acura NSX and Toyota Supra, as well as the Ferrari F40. For one of its newest flashback clips, Motorweek has exhumed an affordable five-car challenge of 1986's premiere hot hatches.
By today's standards, this is an eclectic field that features fondly remembered classics like the Volkswagen GTI 16-valve and Acura Integra. However, it also throws in some nearly forgotten contenders like the Dodge Colt Turbo and Ford Escort GT. The angular Toyota Corolla FX16 GT-S rounds out the group.
It's fascinating to watch Motorweek run the quintet through the slalom, down the drag strip and on various roads. What's most striking in this clip is the difference in the definition of a performance car between then and now. With its 16-valve, 1.8-liter four-cylinder, the GTI is the burliest of the contenders with 123 horsepower, but it still takes 8.8 seconds to reach 60 miles per hour. By today's standards, that would make it a plain-jane economy car, and not even a particularly quick one.

Tier 1 suppliers call GM the worst OEM to work with

Mon, 12 May 2014

Among automakers with a big US presence, General Motors is the worst to work for, according to a new survey from Tier 1 automotive suppliers, conducted by Planning Perspectives, Inc.
The Detroit-based manufacturer, which has been under fire following the ignition switch recall and its accompanying scandal, finished behind six other automakers with big US manufacturing operations. Suppliers had issues with trust and communications, as well as intellectual property protection. GM was also the least likely to allow suppliers to raise their prices in the face of unexpected increases in material cost, all of which contributed to 55 percent of suppliers saying their relationship with GM was "poor to very poor."
GM's cross-town competitors didn't fare much better. Chrysler finished in fifth place, ahead of GM and behind Dearborn-based Ford, which was passed for third place this year by Nissan. Toyota took the top marks, while Honda captured second place.

Former Ford CEO Mulally won't run for president

Mon, 15 Sep 2014

Alan Mulally will not be following his successful term as president and CEO of Ford Motor Company with a run at an even bigger presidency. Rumors that the 68-year-old former Boeing exec would make a run at the White House sprouted after his apparent dodging of a reporter's questions about a potential candidacy during a forum in Indianapolis.
"I really think it's important that we all pull together. We really need to pull together around a compelling vision for our country and a comprehensive strategy to do it and work together. We really need to do it," Mulally said at the conference, according to The Detroit News.
He's since clarified by saying, "[I'm] honored at the suggestion, but that is not a role I am considering."
