Condition: UsedA vehicle is considered used if it has been registered and issued a title. Used vehicles have had at least one previous owner. The condition of the exterior, interior and engine can vary depending on the vehicle's history. See the seller's listing for full details and description of any imperfections.Seller Notes:"Truck is in very good condition- outside of cab and box professionally restored primed and sealed, fenders, doors and tailgate are not as nice. Truck originally from Montana, so frame and underbody are exceptional.Brakes and front end (including axle)have been brought back to excellent working condition. It steers well (manual steer). Engine changeover from 360 v8 to 302v8 has not been so smooth, as clutch kit does not appear to be well balanced, and resulting vibration is the likely cause for leaking rear main seal on 302. Engine mount changeover is my creation and seems to be solid, but clearance from axle to oil pan is close with the setup on the 302 I had. Reversing the sump would rectify this situation. (The grille is from 1967 model)."

To list work done on this truck since I have owned it:

Engine changeover to 302 V8 I had ( not a big fan of the original 360). Clutch kit does not seem perfectly balanced, and thus may have caused rear main seal leakage. Clearance from oil pan to front axle is close, but probably remedied by reversing sump. Alternately, you could return to 360 or larger big block engine. New dual exhaust system to back end of truck. Four barrel carb on 302 needs rebuilding as floats sometimes stick.

4 speed manual transmission is joined to a single speed transfer case (OEM) No leaks detected from either. From there, all universal joints have been replaced, including those on front axle, and seals have been replaced. I have noticed leakage of gear oil from rear axle since it has been parked, presumably the pinion seal, but it may be the back cover.

Steering gear is in excellent condition, any worn steering components have been replaced. The truck steers straight and tight.

Brakes are manual, not power, but they are in excellent shape. New brake shoes and wheel cylinders, new brake hose to front axle, new emergency brake cables, new master cylinder.

Body-wise, the outside of the cab and box have been professionally redone, then primed and sealed. The cab dash has not been reworked, but the area around the rocker panels has (see pictures). The inside of the box has not been worked on and is dented, but is very sound and not heavily rusted. Fenders, doors and hood are in reasonably good condition. Tailgate is not much- what I had on hand. (Doors have had new seals and full anti-rattle kits installed- they are quiet). I put in fender liners of heavy gauge plastic to protect areas in wheel wells- something Ford should have done. Inner fenders and core support are adequate working condition but have some rust. The grille is from a 1967 F100.

 The frame is quite nice (Montana truck) with no scaly rust.

Electrical for the most works fine, except horn and engine oil light, which seems to work in reverse (on when oil pressure is sensed). This truck should pass most state inspections as it is today.

Ford making Fusion production moves to challenge Camry on volume

Mon, 26 Aug 2013

The Ford Fusion may already beat the Toyota Camry in terms of models offered, transaction price and sales increase so far this year, but if the Fusion wants to make a run at the title of best-selling car in the US, Bloomberg reminds us that volume is key. Opening a second production line at the Flat Rock, MI assembly plant will reportedly allow Ford to produce around 350,000 Fusions annually, which compares Toyota's ability to crank out 475,000 Camrys and Honda's capacity to build around 450,000 Accords.
For the Fusion, that's an extra 100,000 units compared to the car's current pace, and the article adds that the Fusion is "Ford's best shot" to regain the passenger car sales crown - a title it (or any other US automaker, for that matter) hasn't held since the mid-1990s. Despite hiccups with recalls and fuel economy numbers, the Ford Fusion is still red hot when it comes to sales. Fusion sales are up 13 percent so far this year (compared to a 0.6 percent decrease for Camry), and its average transaction price of $26,343 is about $2,300 more than its rival from Toyota.
The Fusion's popularity has helped Ford improve its sales in California; the Dearborn-based automaker has a market share of 18 percent in the state, which is just a fraction of a percentage behind Honda. And this popularity should continue as Ford ups Fusion production and expands the model lineup even further for 2014 with a new 1.5-liter EcoBoost engine soon to become an option.

Ford Mondeo with 1.5-liter EcoBoost debuts in China

Sat, 20 Apr 2013

Does the car above, posing fancifully in white, look familiar? Well, it should. Although it wears Mondeo badges in the form you see above for the Chinese market - as it does in Europe - the car is basically the same thing sold in the US as the Ford Fusion. Of course, it's what's under that shapely skin that counts.
Ford has chosen the Shanghai Motor Show as the venue with which to unveil its 1.5-liter EcoBoost four-cylinder engine. We'd heard about the engine before, but now we have a few performance estimates to share: 133 kW of power (about 178 horsepower) and 240 Nm of torque (about 177 pound-feet).
Those numbers pretty much confirm previous rumors indicating about 177 in each category, and it's right on par with what Ford's own 1.6-liter EcoBoost produces. Ford is claiming best-in-class fuel economy as well, but no specific figures have yet been provided. In any case, we'll surely have all the data soon enough, as the 1.5-liter mill is destined for the US Fusion in 2014.

Ford recalling 450,000 Fusion, Mercury Milan sedans

Tue, Nov 24 2015

Ford has announced a pair of recalls, and both are critical safety issues. The exponentially larger of the two recall campaigns affects over 450,000 Ford Fusion and Mercury Milan sedans manufactured at the Hermosillo plant between July 21, 2008, and March 4, 2011. The canister purge valve in the fuel tank could malfunction and could cause the top of the tank to crack and leak fuel. That could cause a fire, although Ford "is not aware of any accidents, injuries or fires" resulting from the issue. Affected vehicles will have their ECU software updated and their fuel tanks inspected for potential replacement. The company estimates there are 411,205 affected units in the United States (and its federalized territories), plus another 33,605 in Canada, and 7,055 in Mexico. The second recall affects 13 F-650 trucks. The column shifter's park position mechanism may fracture and let the truck roll away unexpectedly. Those 2016 models built in Ohio between July 29 and September 3, 2015 are all located in the US. Fixing the problem will require replacing the steering column and reconfiguring the instrument panel. FORD ISSUES TWO SAFETY RECALLS IN NORTH AMERICA DEARBORN, Mich., Nov. 23, 2015 – Ford Motor Company is issuing two safety recalls in North America. Ford is not aware of any accidents, injuries or fires related to these conditions. Details are as follows: Ford issues safety recall for certain 2010-2011 Ford Fusion and Mercury Milan vehicles in North America for potential fuel tank issue Ford Motor Company is issuing a safety recall for approximately 450,000 2010-2011 Ford Fusion and Mercury Milan vehicles for a potential issue with the fuel tank. Some of these vehicles might have a canister purge valve that does not work properly, causing internal pressure changes inside the fuel tank. Repeated pressure changes inside the tank could result in a crack on the top of the tank, possibly allowing fuel to leak. A fuel leak in the presence of an ignition source can lead to a fire. Ford is not aware of any accidents, injuries or fires related to this condition. Affected vehicles include certain 2010-2011 Ford Fusion and Mercury Milan vehicles built at Hermosillo Assembly Plant from July 21, 2008 through March 4, 2011. There are a total of approximately 451,865 vehicles that might be affected in North America, including 411,205 vehicles in the United States and federalized territories, 33,605 in Canada and 7,055 in Mexico.
