Year:1988 Mileage:999999 Color: Two
Location:

Milton, Wisconsin, United States

Milton, Wisconsin, United States

1988 Ford F-250 XLT Lariat.

**EDIT** I just looked at the Vehicle History Report and it clearly indicates that there are more miles than I thought. More fool me - I was basing the current mileage on what the previous owner told me.  Sorry for any confusion.

I am the third owner of this truck and it does have less than 100,000 miles.  It is an excellent workhorse and really fun to drive (much more entertaining than the Service Van I've upgraded to).

Specs:
460 ci V8 engine with fuel injection
5 speed manual transmission
Locking rear axle
Twin fuel tanks
Curt manufacturing class 3 receiver hitch
Electric brake controller
Fibergalss Service Box with three doors per side.  Some doors have shelves, others have hooks.  All six door's locks work and are commonly keyed.
Box has 4 "D" rings in each corner for tying down large loads.

Interior:
Cloth bench seat in brown/tan.  Behind the seat storage bins.
Sliding rear window.
Instrument cluster has full complement of gauges.  Voltage gauge in cluster does not work; there is an 2 1/8" aftermarket voltage gauge added to the bottom of the dash.
A/C components work, but there is a slow leak and would need to be recharged to get much out of it.
Cassette player in original radio works - play your .mp3 device through the adapter.

Exterior:
Two-tone brown paint with some paint fade/peel on hood and roof.  Passenger side door gently dented (could be pushed out) and left front fender has a crease above the turn signal.  Some surface rust in the lower cab corners, but no holes.  Large aftermarket mirrors bolt through the doors and those spots are rusty and need attention.
Fiberglass box in good shape with no cracks.  Won't rust!  I miss that with my larger metal box van.
Tires have plenty of life yet.  Rims are non-sexy black steel (I swapped the alloys seen in the pictures over to my new van)

Wipers are weak and need some attention.  I've replaced the switch (that didn't fix it) and bought a wiper motor that I haven't installed yet.  Headlights are a bit cloudy; I have a better set that will go with the truck.  Exhaust system is a a little loud, but not so much that you'll get in trouble (in my experience).  Truck starts and runs faithfully and is ready to help you earn some money or serve as your portable tool or toybox.

Please arrange to view and drive this truck prior to bidding.  I have described the truck honestly and will answer all questions the same way.  More pictures available on request (please allow me 24 hours to respond).

Shipping, if requested, to be arranged by purchaser.  There is a possibility I could deliver the vehicle to within a few hundred miles of Southern WI - please contact me prior to bidding to discuss.

Rolling footage of the 2015 Ford Mustang hits YouTube [w/video]

Thu, 26 Dec 2013

Just in time for the holidays: Ford took the 2015 Mustang to Route 66 to cook up rolling footage, and we've been given some of the leftovers ahead of the meal. There are no burnouts, no donuts, no revving, and thankfully, no music. It's just two minutes and 26 seconds of the new pony car running free in the desert.
So in case you needed more visualizing help, the video below will help you start imagining how you'll look in your 2014 Christmas present to yourself...

Consumer Reports: Ford Fusion fun but flawed; Mitsubishi i-MiEV slow, chintzy [w/videos]

Wed, 23 Jan 2013

Waiting for a Ford compliment from Consumer Reports these days is like waiting for a low-cost new product from Apple. So we weren't really expecting a glowing review of the 2013 Ford Fusion when CR got its hands on the car. The institute's crew bought three different versions of the Fusion (Hybrid, 1.6-liter EcoBoost and a Titanium with the 2.0-liter EcoBoost) to put through its barrage of tests, and while we aren't too surprised by some of the findings, they're still interesting nonetheless.
CR praises the Fusion for its "eye-catching" design and says that the sportier Titanium trim level is the best-handling midsize sedan they've ever tested, but that's about where the good news ends for Ford. The Fusion Hybrid also posted the best-ever fuel economy CR has recorded in a midsize sedan, but the only problem is that their number was 39 miles per gallon combined - far less than Ford's 47 mpg rating for city, highway and combined. As expected, CR also dinged the Fusion for its MyFord Touch, but some of the other gripes about the car include a cramped cabin and poor fit and finish.
Other Ford products tested this time around include the Focus Electric and C-Max Hybrid. Like the Fusion, CR's observed fuel economy of 37 mpg for the C-Max fell well short of Ford's advertised 47-mpg rating, and both cars were criticized for the use of MyFord Touch. CR notes that the Focus Electric's interior is also cramped, with the battery pack taking up a lot of cargo space.

Shelby American cleans house of 14 concept cars

Wed, 25 Jun 2014

Typically when an automaker rolls out a concept car or pre-production prototype, it does its tour and then disappears into the company's archives. Maybe it will be displayed for the public to see in the company's own museum or maybe it will spend most of its time under covers in a warehouse somewhere, but every once in a while, an automaker will open up its history and start selling off its concept cars. For Shelby American, "once in a while" has just rolled around.
The House that Carroll Built is moving from its previous headquarters at Las Vegas Motor Speedway to a new facility off of the Las Vegas strip, and in the process is liquidating fourteen of the rarest cars in its collection. That presents a tremendous opportunity for muscle car collectors to bring one or more of these snakes home.
As you might expect, the catalog is composed mostly of Mustangs, but not exclusively. There's a pair of 289 Cobras: the last of the 50th anniversary slab-sided continuation cars and an original development vehicle, offered at $200,000 apiece. At the other end of the spectrum you'll find the 2013 Shelby Raptor concept for $125k and Focus concept for $50k. And of course there are the Mustangs.
