Drive Type: Rear
Make: Ford
Mileage: 88,223
Model: F-100
Trim: Ranger XLT
Here is a all original truck that I purchased from the original family. Practically a one owner vehicle purchased brand new in Georgia. I was told the truck sat mostly covered up until its later days. And I was told that the truck had 88,223 original miles! Factory installed 302 with a 3 speed manual transmission. I could not find any rust in the truck except for the typical passenger side inner fender where the battery sits, and under the hood on the passenger side only. You can not see the rust in the hood when hood is closed. Absolutely no rust in the bed, floors, mounts etc.. all looks great. The truck has been sitting for 4 years not driven due to previous owner wanting to update engine a little with a 4 bb carb and intake. He got started with putting brand new 302 heads, purchasing aluminum intake and new rebuilt holley carb and full gasket set and then lost interest. The heads are bolted down and look completely done only lacking to install intake, carb , valve covers, etc.. I do have all these parts along with the original intake and carb if you want to put back to original. Oil looks good and motor does turn over. I have the intake and carb just sitting on top of the engine currently. I truly believe a good weekend on this truck and you will be driving again. All chrome is present and intact, along with all the interior. The seat belts still have the original wrapper on seat belts from the factory. Carpet is actually still in good shape just needs to be cleaned . This is a extremely nice truck that has very little rust to speak of. If your looking for a solid truck to start with and a really small project, this is the one for you. Selling at a no reserve so bid to win and good luck!

Hot sales have Detroit automakers shortening summer shutdowns
Tue, 08 Jul 2014Back in May, there was speculation that the Detroit Three automakers would maintain or perhaps even extend their traditional summer shutdowns, mostly due to a bitingly cold winter that saw below-freezing temperatures infiltrate the southernmost reaches of the US, putting a chill on auto sales. Now, though, the numbers are in, and thanks to some promising sales figures, it looks like some domestic line workers are going to be working clear through July, in some cases.
According to Automotive News, Ford has slashed its traditional two-week hiatus for factory workers in half at four of its plants, while both Chrysler and General Motors will keep factories running nonstop (two plants in Chrysler's case and a third of GM's factories).
This is, as we said, thanks to some positive numbers. Chief among those is the Seasonal Adjusted Annual Rate, which was at an eight-year high of 17 million units. Individual figures were less promising. GM, embroiled in its recall scandal, still saw a one-percent increase while Ford dropped six percent in year-over-year sales. Chrysler was the big winner, though, with a nine-percent jump in June.
Is Tesla's next project an F-150 competitor? [w/poll]
Wed, 13 Nov 2013What's the future look like for Tesla after it launches the Model X CUV and possibly a smaller, sub-Model S sedan? Would you believe a pickup truck? Yes, Tesla could be looking to use its EV know-how to take the fight to Ford and the F-150, based on comments made by company founder Elon Musk.
"If you're trying to replace the most gasoline miles driven, you have to look at what people are buying," Musk said during an impromptu Q&A session following a speech at Business Insider's Ignition conference. "[The F-150 is] the best selling car in America. If people are voting that's their car, then that's the car we have to deliver."
And while the idea of electric pickup may sound kind of absurd to some, Musk makes a very valid point - if Tesla's goal is to replace gas miles with electrical miles, it simply can't afford to ignore pickups.
Ladies Love It: Ford Fiesta wins Womens World Car of the Year
Thu, 25 Jul 2013It's official: A panel of female automotive writers has chosen the Ford Fiesta 1.0-liter EcoBoost as the Womens World Car of the Year, and it beat tough competition like the Mazda CX-5, Range Rover and Porsche Boxster S for the overall top spot.
The CX-5 and Range Rover won the SUV and Luxury Car categories, respectively, and the Boxster S laid claim to the Sports Car category, beating the runner up Audi RS5 and third place Toyota GT86/Subaru BRZ (or Scion FR-S). The Audi Allroad was named the Family car of the year.
The panel consisted of 18 female automotive writers from around the world tasked with picking the best car in each of eight categories, including top vehicle overall, using criteria that women utilize when shopping for a car. That includes safety, value-for-money, aesthetic appearance, storage space, child-friendliness, ease-of-driving, color, sex appeal and environmental footprint.
