Rusty hood springs are preventing the hood from latching. Parts are missing from the engine. Wires are missing from the harness. Glass is all good!"

This old timer has a lot of issues if one was to consider it to be a revival project. It has been sitting for a long time and is pretty rusty. I do have an open title for it, but the last time it was tagged was in 1995.

I drove this truck 60 miles back to town to a garage back in 2000 when I bought it to have the engine rebuilt. Unfortunately the garage started taking it apart, and then went out of business over night and the landlord threw away the box of parts that were removed after they were kicked out. The picture under the hood shows the lack of parts. I then towed it to a place for storage where thieves raided all the wiring they could see under the hood. As I said... major project for refurbishing. It might be a good father/son project, but Dad would need to be a very savvy veteran with welding and engine experience. It would probably be better for the parts remaining.

One thing going for it is that all of the glass is good. The body is pretty straight except for a bent passengers side back fender (pictured). But it does have a lot of rust. The cab floor is pretty far gone. It was a Missouri Forestry Dpt. vehicle, and they added diamond plate steel to the bed. And they moved the gas line from behind the cab on the drivers side to the drivers side back fender. It says U-1 on the top for helicopters to see. There are a few holes in the top where a siren and beacon were once installed.

It has a three on the tree transmission. 

It's rough, and it is what it is. Please bid knowing all of this, and plan on towing on a trailer or flatbed because all four tires are flat and too far gone to hold air more than 10 minutes or so.

I'm happy to try to answer questions, but in all honesty I never really got to know it well. I bought it, drove it to that garage, and never got a chance to drive it since. If you are interested in it in its existing condition, then I guarantee you that you probably know more about it than I do.

Ford issues six recalls covering 101,000 vehicles for multiple issues

Tue, 08 Jul 2014

Ford is announcing six separate recalls for a variety of issues affecting a dozen models and a total of 100,610 vehicles in North America. However, according to Ford spokesperson Kelli Felker, "None of them have caused accidents or injuries." Half of them cover fewer than 1,000 cars.
The largest recall covers 92,022 North American examples (about 83,250 in the US) of some models of the Ford Taurus, Lincoln MKS, Ford Interceptor, Flex and Lincoln MKT from the 2013 and 2014 model years; the 2012-2014 Edge and the 2014 Lincoln MKX. All of them have a potential issue with the halfshaft on the right side that might not be fully seated and could move outward over time. If it shifts too far, the models may no longer be able to drive, and the condition could also allow the vehicles to roll away, even when in Park. Dealers will inspect the shaft to make sure it's seated and will replace the part if necessary.
The next-largest recall covers 5,264 North American examples (4,867 in the US) of the Ford F59 Commercial Stripped Chassis from the 2011-2014 model years. It's possible that an electrical junction box can corrode in areas with salty roads and short circuit. The problem could potentially cause a fire. Dealers will replace the box with an improved design.

Has the auto industry hit peak hybrid?

Thu, 12 Jun 2014

Hybrids are known for their great fuel economy and low emissions, but it looks like given current market conditions, only about three percent of new car consumers are willing to pay the premium for them. A new study from IHS/Polk finds that the hybrid market share among overall US auto sales are falling, despite more models with the technology on sale than ever before.
The study examined new car registrations in March from 2009 through 2014. In that time, the auto industry grew from 24 to 47 hybrid models available to consumers, but market share for the powertrain remained almost stagnant in that time. As of 2009, hybrids held 2.4 percent of the market; it fell slightly to 2.3 percent in 2010 and grew to 3.3 percent in 2013. However, 2014 showed a drop back to 3 percent. Overall hybrid sales have been growing since 2010, but they just aren't keeping up with the total auto market.
According to IHS/Polk, this isn't what you would expect to see. Usually, each new model in the market brings along with it a boost in sales. The growth in hybrid models 2009 to 2014 should have shown a larger increase in share for the segment.
