1988 Ford F250 F-250 Fiberglass Service Box Truck Manual Transmission on 2040-cars
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 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. |

2015 Ford F-150 spied in the rain
Mon, 10 Jun 2013Standing as quite a contrast from the spy shots of the 2015 Ford Mustang we saw earlier today, our spies also sent along these pictures of the next-generation F-150 pickup out testing in its (heavily camouflaged) full prototype body. Much of the new truck's design is hidden under the bulky coveralls, but we expect a lot of its new lines to be inspired by the Atlas concept that debuted at the 2013 Detroit Auto Show.
Perhaps the biggest unknown surrounding the new F-150 is what, exactly, its body will be made of. Earlier reports have suggested that lightweight aluminum materials may be used throughout, offering a serious reduction in weight versus previous models. But Ford engineers will need to be careful, though, as they need to keep a tight rein on costs while preserving class-competitive (if not class-leading) towing and payload capacity.
On the powertrain front, the new F-150 will undoubtedly carry on with EcoBoost engines, and we'd bet on a normally aspirated V8 as well. A diesel option hasn't been confirmed, but we wouldn't be surprised to see one some time in the truck's lifecycle. Mum's the word on when the production F-150 will be revealed, but our best guess is that we'll see it at the 2014 Detroit Auto Show.
Shelby Mustang stars with Ethan Hawke, Selena Gomez in Getaway movie
Thu, 06 Jun 2013Car movies. We keep watching them, they keep making them. Despite Fast & Furious 6 still blowing up the box office (No. 1 in theaters for the second straight week) and production on Transformers 4 being well underway (check out the Bugatti Veyron and Corvette Stingray as new cast members), there's still room on the marquee for more car movies. Next one up is an Ethan Hawke joint called Getaway, which prominently co-stars a Ford Shelby GT500. The first trailer for Getaway, which opens in theaters on August 30, was released yesterday and can be watched below.
The movie's plot centers around Hawke's character, former race car driver Brent Magna, who must somehow use this car, what appears to be a generation-old Shelby GT500 Super Snake he "commandeered," to save his wife. The movie's third co-star is Selena Gomez, whose character we're told is the owner of said Shelby. A 20-year-old having a car like this seems a bit far-fetched - especially in Europe - and on paper, this plot looks like it cribs liberally from Charlie Sheen's 1994 The Chase. But all we've got to go on is a brief plot description and the trailer below, so we'll withhold judgment until the studio firmly has our ticket money in its grasp.
The Shelby GT500 is, of course, no stranger to acting. Before this jump to celluloid, the most fearsome of all Mustang models starred in the return of Knight Rider to television on NBC back in 2008. That gig didn't pan out for the car, the show lasting only one season and 17 episodes. In fact, with its casting in Getaway, the Shelby GT500 is one of the few actors who escaped that debacle with a future in show biz.
Ford only automaker to make 2012 Buzz Rankings, Toyota most improved
Wed, 30 Jan 2013Ford landed itself a spot among the top 10 brands in the 2012 Buzz Rankings. The annual index scores 1,100 brands in 41 categories to determine which nameplates had the most positive buzz throughout the year.
For the third year in a row, Subway took the top honors overall with a score of 40.3, and Ford was the only automaker to break into the top 25 by earning a sixth-place finish overall. The manufacturer earned a score of 32.1 points, which was enough to push it up one spot from the 2011 Buzz Rankings. Honda managed 21.2 points overall, which is still well behind 25th-place Kohl's at 26.5 points. Toyota, Volkswagen and BMW all round out the top five automakers.
The 2012 Buzz Rankings also keep track of which brands improved the most over the past year, and this year, Toyota was the manufacturer with the largest leap forward. The Japanese automaker jumped from just 14 points in 2011 to 20.5 in 2012. Chrysler, Kia, Dodge and Volkswagen all saw sizable steps forward as well. Be sure to head over to the Brand Index site for more information.
