Old farm truck with plenty of patina and a little flare. Lowered with a Volare front suspension clip installed 2" forward from stock to locate the front tires better and and a mildly "C" notched frame with the rear diff over the springs. Excellent driver that handles quite well. Has a strong 390 ci engine, comp Xtreme Energy cam, fresh heads, Streetmaster intake and Autolite 4100 4 barrel. C6 transmission with a shift kit and 3:50 gears in the 9". The wheels are new Vision Legend 5s and the tires have less than 5000 miles on them. Power brakes are good with front discs and rear drum handles emergency stops well.
The paint is obviously showing it's 50 years on the roads of America... Inside the old wiring has been replaced with a new blade type fuse panel and later model switches. Sound mat has been used under the carpet to help quiet the ride, the seat is an older reupholstered one from a '72 F series and the seat belts are genuine Rotunda/Ford aircraft style from 1963. The column is from a Chevy Van and the steering wheel was from a 1966 Pontiac. All switches and gauges work like they're supposed to other than the turn signals not self cancelling. Speedometer is Very accurate although the odometer has quit working! I have driven this every day at times without any problems and enjoy it always. It's only for sale so I can buy a Harley. Don't let the fact that it's a long bed deter you. It's certainly long on attitude and gets compliments everywhere.

Ford recalling 65k Fusions from 2014 and 2015 because key can be removed
Tue, 18 Nov 2014Ford is recalling an estimated 64,869 examples of the 2014-2015 Fusion, Fusion Energi and Fusion Hybrid in North America because the key can be removed when the vehicle isn't in Park under certain conditions. Specifically, the campaign covers 56,479 units in the US, 6,048 in Canada and 2,342 in Mexico, according to the automaker's tally on November 11.
Ford says a programming problem in the instrument cluster means that the key can be removed 30 minutes after the ignition is turned off, even if the transmission is not in Park. The situation where this could happen seems quite limited, and the company is not aware of any accidents or injuries related to the issue. However, the fault puts the vehicle out of compliance with federal regulations covering theft protection and rollaways, and must be repaired.
The fix is easy: Ford will reprogram the instrument cluster at no cost to consumers. According to Ford spokesperson Kelli Felker in an email to Autoblog, "We will notify customers the week of January 5th." Scroll down to read Ford's announcement.
Detroit's new fleet of donated police cars have safety issues [w/video]
Wed, 23 Oct 2013In a show of generosity in mid-August, Detroit's business leaders donated $8 million to the Police Department and Fire Department in order to buy 100 new police vehicles and 23 EMS ambulances. But now officers have discovered - and complained - that the police vehicles have glaring safety issues, Deadline Detroit reports. It is not made clear what models of the fleet vehicles - which include police versions of the Ford Taurus, the Chevrolet Caprice and the Dodge Charger - are affected by the safety issues.
Officers reportedly have complained that the Plexiglass partition separating front-seat officers and back-seat prisoners is easily breached, and that the front passenger seat is installed too close to the dashboard. Prisoners who manage to writhe out of their handcuffs can bend the Plexiglass and reach into the cockpit, and sitting too close to the dashboard can render airbags more dangerous and make officers more vulnerable to injury in a crash.
Mark Diaz, president of the Detroit Police Officers Association, received the complaints and reportedly said the vehicles would get safety updates addressing the issues. But Deadline Detroit reports that it checked some of the offending police cars and, as of the last few days, they hadn't been updated.
Ex-PR chief Vines accuses Ford of bugging cars, phones
Fri, 24 Oct 2014Jason Vines, former head of communications at Ford among other automakers, is accusing the Blue Oval of bugging his company phone and his car during the Firestone tire recall for the Explorer in 2001. The allegations have come to light in Vines' upcoming book What Did Jesus Drive? Crisis PR in Cars, Computers and Christianity.
According to The Detroit News, which has an advance copy of the book, Vines (pictured above) claims that after leaving the company, someone with security within Ford advised him that he had been bugged around the time of the recall. The allegations don't stop there, though. Vines further contends that he might not have been the only one to get this treatment, noting that then-general counsel John Rintamaki also believed he was being listened to.
According to The Detroit News, even if it had been a company phone, recording Vines without his knowledge still would have been a felony under Michigan law.
