This truck has been fun but I have a new project so I'm ready to let it go. I need to clear out the garage.
It has less than 52000 miles on it.

Long bed Flare Side (rare). Fords are Flare Sides, Chevys are Step Sides.
I have a side mount fender and spare tire mounting bracket for the truck that goes with it. The fender needs to be painted though. I think the addition of the side mount spare would look GREAT!

360 V8 2 barrel.
Dual Exhaust.
C6 automatic transmission. Shifts very smoothly.
Power steering.
Air conditioning. The air doesn't work right now but it is all there.
1 repaint in the original Wimbeldon White.

The truck is nearly rust free. There is an old bondo patch behind the right front wheel about 2" square.

There is a rust bubble beginning to form at the bottom outside of the passenger door. On the corner about the size of a dime. I took a photo of this but it is a poor one.

There was some rust along the inside of the bed on the flare that sits on the wooden bed. I suppose being out in the rain in its previous life the wood would hold water there. It has been ground and painted. it is no longer rusting but you can see where it was.

These spots are not a big deal at all but I want to be clear that they are there.

There is an oil leak in the timing cover seal. This causes it to throw a little oil that winds up on the right inside of the hood. The leak is very small, not enough oil is lost to be seen on the dip stick for many miles. It does mark it's spot on the garage floor.

The steering wheel is cracked and the horn button needs to be replaced.

It does not come with a radio.

I have described everything that is wrong with the truck but said very little about how nice it is.

It is a very nice old Ford.

It starts easily, It is a pleasure to drive. Drive it anywhere.
This truck is in very good condition. The pictures tell the story. It is beautiful.

Ready for the new owner to enjoy.

Ford of Europe celebrates Mondeo's 20th anniversary

Wed, 25 Sep 2013

Ford's European operations are celebrating a milestone of sorts as the Mondeo, the Blue Oval's bread-and-butter D-segment sedan in the old country, celebrates its 20th anniversary. The mid-sizer, which was sold in the US for a short time as the Contour, has been a far more popular vehicle in Europe - even receiving regular praise from one Jeremy Clarkson.
Narrated by Cockney actor Ray Winstone, the video goes through the Mondeo's years and how it's evolved from 1993 to the as-yet-unreleased fifth-generation model, which is essentially the same as the Ford Fusion that's sold in America. Take a look below for the full video from Ford of Europe.

Question of the Day: Most degraded car name?

Fri, May 27 2016

When Ford came up with a not-so-sporty version of the Pinto and slapped Mustang badges on it in 1974, that was a low point for the Mustang name. When Chrysler applied the venerable Town & Country name on perfectly functional but unglamorous minivans, it saddened many of us. But perhaps the biggest demotion for a once-proud model came when, in 1988, General Motors imported a misery-enhancing Daewoo from Korea and called it the Pontiac LeMans. The original Pontiac LeMans was a great-looking midsize car with fairly advanced (for the time) suspension design and engine options including potent V8s and a screaming overhead-cam straight-six. The Daewoo-based Pontiac LeMans was a cramped, shoddy hooptie that served only to ruin the LeMans name forever, while stealing sales from the Suzuki-based Chevrolet Sprint. Sure, using the once-respected Monterey name on the Mercurized Ford Freestar was bad, but Mercury didn't have long to live at that point. I say the downward spiral of the LeMans name was the most agonizing in automotive history. What do you think? Related Video: This content is hosted by a third party.

Ford Mustang 50th anniversary edition brings in $170k

Tue, 30 Sep 2014

Just the other day, we reported on the first Dodge Challenger SRT Hellcat selling for a whopping $825,000 at auction. But impressive as that sum was, the Challenger wasn't the only sought-after modern muscle car to cross the Barrett-Jackson auction block in Las Vegas this past weekend. So did this rare Ford Mustang.
The last of 1,964 special-edition 50 Years Limited Edition pony cars sold for a princely $170,000, with proceeds benefiting the Edith and Benson Ford Heart & Vascular Institute, a branch of the Henry Ford Health System.
The pony car in question is based on the 2015 Ford Mustang GT and upgrades with a performance package and nearly every option on the book, along with a unique appearance package to set it apart in celebration of the Mustang's 50th anniversary. It's available in two exclusive shades - Wimbledon white or Kona blue - with either a manual or automatic transmission. Only 1,964 highly symbolic examples were to be built, and this was the last of them.
