For sale here we have a really nice example of what Detroit used to be capable of before it imploded. This truck has been well used, but well cared for in the last 4 decades, and should provide someone with another 40 years of work and play. I bought this truck in Northern Ohio 6 years ago from a man who said it came from North Dakota. He had planned to do a frame-off restoration on it. It would still be a good candidate for this, but I have used it as a work & play truck. I had the interior redone in El Paso, TX in 2009. The engine was rebuilt from the crank up, as well as the transmission, in Hilliard, OH. A high-volume oil pump, new starter, electronic ignition, stainless headers, and a dual FLowMaster exhaust were added at this time. The original two-barrel carb was rebuilt as well. I can provide receipts for all drivetrain work. This truck also has a Reese hitch, as well as a 7-pin connector for a trailer with electric brakes. There is an adjustable controller to dial in how much current is applied to the trailer brakes, and how aggressively they are applied. Between the rebuilt 360, automatic transmission, Reese hitch, and electric brakes this is a very good truck for towing. I have a dual-axle enclosed Haulmark trailer (I believe it's 8' x 14') that I will sell to the winning bidder if he or she is interested.
There are a couple spots of through rust, the worst being the left cab corner and in the front of the right door jamb. I would love to do a frame-off and keep this beauty as my baby, but since I need to start using a truck more heavily for work I'd rather beat on a newer truck and let someone else hold onto this one and keep it like it should be kept.
I will have this truck for sale locally and may pull the auction if it sells. The truck is currently in Columbus, OH. I can (and will) deliver it to the Lorain County Fairgrounds the weekend of September 21. That being the case, the mileage may be a bit higher, but not more than a couple hundred miles. If the winning bidder wants this truck delivered I will put my Harley in the back and drive it anywhere in the lower 48 for $1.00 per mile one-way (must be paid prior to delivery). Please ask any questions prior to bidding; I work but I will do my best to answer them in a timely fashion.
A $250 deposit is required via PayPal within 24 hours of the auction closing. Remainder to be paid in cash upon receipt of truck. Again, please ask any question prior to bidding. Good luck, and remember, only the last bid counts!

Jerry Seinfeld doesn't love Sarah Jessica Parker's new Country Squire in latest CiCGC
Fri, 20 Jun 2014Comedians in Cars Getting Coffee has finally returned for its fourth season of combining Jerry Seinfeld, a miscellaneous celebrity and a cup of java. But rather than fondly remembering some older piece of automotive machinery, this time around, Seinfeld is utterly unable to keep his hatred of Sarah Jessica Parker's 1976 Ford LTD Country Squire from coming out to hilarious effect.
However, Parker has such a high level of infectious enthusiasm for her recently purchased Country Squire that she seems to win over Seinfeld by the end - at least a little bit. For most of their time together, the two of them drive around Manhattan and the suburbs waxing nostalgic about what things were like when these wagons were ubiquitous.
Since this is actually SJP's car, she and Seinfeld trade off driving duties, and the image above should give you some indication of Seinfeld's reaction to the Sex and the City star behind the wheel. It seems this '70s land yacht might be a little too much for her to handle in New York traffic. Regardless, she is absolutely in love with her Ford.
NHTSA advances investigation of Ford Crown Victoria headlights
Sat, Aug 15 2015The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration is opening a preliminary evaluation into reports of suddenly failing headlights on 517,945 examples of the 2003-2005 Ford Crown Victoria and Mercury Grand Marquis. The government started looking into this problem in April when the North Carolina Consumers Council filed a defect petition with the agency. Now, the inquiry has moved to the next step. According to NHTSA's documentation (as a PDF), it examined its own database and worked with Ford to come up with a total of 3,609 complaints of the front lighting control module suddenly failing. When this happens, drivers lose the low-beam headlights, but the high-beams can be used by holding the stalk. Sometimes turning the switch off and on fixes the issue. Additionally, there are 15 allegations of crashes, and one reported shoulder injury. NHTSA's preliminary evaluations "evaluate the scope, frequency, and consequence of the alleged defect" and don't necessarily lead to a recall. NHTSA looked into this problem once before in 2008 and 2009 and decided that a recall wasn't necessary. Ford also extended the warranty on the front lighting control module for these vehicles. INVESTIGATION Subject : Loss of headlights Date Investigation Opened: AUG 10, 2015 Date Investigation Closed: Open NHTSA Action Number: PE15028 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: After receiving a defect petition (DP15002) concerning the loss of headlights and other exterior lighting in model year (MY) 2003-2005 Ford Crown Victoria and Mercury Grand Marquis vehicles, the Office of Defects Investigation (ODI) analyzed Vehicle Owner Questionnaire (VOQ) complaints received from consumers and identified a total of 605 reports (for all submission dates) alleging headlight failure. The complaints indicate failures of both low beam headlights typically while driving, a defect condition that was evaluated under a prior ODI investigation (PE08066). Most consumer VOQs indicate that the headlights failed suddenly and without warning leaving the driver with no forward lighting, however some report the headlights flickered or dimmed prior to turning off. In some cases drivers were able to turn the headlights back on after a period of time while others reported the headlights would not come back on at all.
