1983 FORD F-100 SHORT BED PICKUP.

1983 Ford F-100 short bed pickup. 1983 was the last year of the F-100 model, making this a fairly rare truck, and even with the flaws, VERY hard to find in this condition. The short-bed body is the most popular, sought-after style for the resto-mod guys, and this one could be a real jewel for the person who will restore it.
I purchased the truck from my cousin about 19 years ago and it had 58K on it; as it sits today (July 2, 2014) it has 122,675 miles, and so you can see that it's been driven only an average of about 3K miles per year. Today I just don't drive it very much at all, but do take it out to the store and around the neighborhood a couple of times per week. And I keep a close check on all it's workings. I've had so many offers and inquiries over the years on it, I can't begin to remember them all.
The issues with the truck are almost all cosmetic except for the truck's bed tailgate latch. The little plastic piece keeping the internal pulls from slipping out of the latch deteriorated and fell apart (*a very common irritant) a few years ago, but it's easily lowered with a screwdriver to flip the tailgate holds. (I hate the cargo nets that lots of people use to replace the tailgates.) In 2011 it sustained some 'dimpling' from a freak very rare hail storm here in E. Tenn., and I had scheduled to have it painted only two weeks after that, so I was lucky to escape that bullet. Because of its age, the insurance co. would not pay for the PDR and we settled: They totaled it and I bought it back. To fully re-insure it (*I can only carry liability now.) the dents must be repaired. 90%+ of the dings are on the hood and it can be replaced for a couple hundred dollars. The bed sustained NO damage because of the heavy rubber mat and toolbox. (*The toolbox and mat are included in this sale.) The top will have to have the dings removed.
Before the hail storm I was eager to restore it; now, I think I'll leave that to a younger fellow. It took the wind out of my sails.

There are NO rust issues with it. And no rust-throughs whatsoever.

The truck has a new rebuilt transmission in it that has less than 3K on it ( $2,000.00 for the rebuild) and it performs like new; I had it installed before the storm. It shifts now like new, and the old girl is still a lot of fun to drive.
The interior is all original. Seats have always been covered and are near mint. Few cracks in the plastic on the doors. Dashboard has NO cracks. All gauges work.
My cousin had replaced the original radio with a Sony system with 100W truck speakers behind the seats long ago and it's powerful and plays perfectly. (Not hard to find the original AM/FM radio)
Engine is a 302 V-8 Windsor.
Air Conditioner has been converted to 134A and blows cold.
New Tires have been put on....The Goodrich tires in some of the pics had cracking and I didn't want to sell the vehicle with those tires. The sun has been the truck's biggest enemy, in spite of all my efforts.

All in all, this is a great classic truck that will only increase in value and appeal.

*The price on the vehicle is firm.
With the transmission rebuild and new tires...etc. I can't go any lower and that's why I didn't add the "Make an Offer" feature.
So if you don't want to pay it, we'll just part friends and move on.

It's a scarce, solid, straight vehicle and with the right TLC, it could be a showpiece. This is a 30 year old used truck sold in as-is, where-is condition with no warranties or guarantees implied. Please study the pics closely. What you see is what you get, and I've listed all I know or even think I know about it. Ask ALL questions via E-MAIL prior to bidding. Payment down is expected at the end of the auction. Please do not bid if you cannot meet this requirement. I will sign over the title once payment in full is made. Please check with your significant other, your mom, your banker, your mechanic, and whoever else you need to, in advance . If you have less than 10 Positive eBay feedbacks, contact me via e-mail before you bid or your bid will be cancelled. I do not have storage space and need to have the truck picked up within 2 weeks of auction end.

*I've already had a number of questions concerning taking the vehicle out of this country to Canada and Mexico. You will have to investigate that matter online or with a dealer who has encountered that matter; I'm no expert, even though NAFTA seems to make it pretty clear that you won't have a problem taking it across those borders. But....I am not sure. When it leaves my property, it is out of my life for good.....and I'm having a hard time letting go as it is! :)

What an Atlas-based Ford F-150 might look like

Thu, 27 Jun 2013

Just ahead of January's Detroit Auto Show, surprising rumors pegged Ford as revealing some sort of F-150 concept, perhaps as a hurried effort to deflate some of the buzz building around General Motors' new Chevrolet Silverado and GMC Sierra twins, which were also making their auto show debut. Those rumblings turned out to be true, as Ford rolled into the Motor City with its Atlas concept (inset, right), touting the truck's bold styling as a precursor to the next-generation F-Series.
The show truck featured all kinds of clever details, including active wheel shutters and a front air dam that raised and lowered to improve aerodynamics while preserving off-road ability. It also had a genuinely snarly face. And it's that pugnacious snout that may well be on its way to production. The good folks at TopSpeed have worked up the plausible-looking artist's rendering above by cross-referencing the Atlas concept with what little has been revealed from recent spy shots. The look is toned-down pretty dramatically from the concept truck, but its Atlas roots are clear, with a massive three-bar grille and bracket-shaped headlamps hiding a next-generation EcoBoost engine. In the rendering, the show truck's deeply contoured hood and roofline have been ditched and larger, more traditional side mirrors have been fitted - all likely concessions in the move to production sheetmetal.
While Ford has yet to officially announce when it will unveil the 2015 F-150, all signs point to next year's Detroit Auto Show - one year after the Atlas shrugged off GM's new pickups.

2014 Ford Fiesta 1.0L EcoBoost

Fri, 09 May 2014

I'll be honest; when Ford first unveiled its 3.5-liter EcoBoost V6, I was skeptical. Past attempts at building turbocharged American cars were almost universally awful, I reasoned, so why would Ford's latest effort be any different? This may seem foolish today, considering the success that the growing EcoBoost range has achieved - particularly the 2.0-liter and 1.6-liter mills. Yet I once again found myself questioning Ford.
It's the makeup of the 1.0-liter, turbocharged three-cylinder slotted into the compact engine bay of this Fiesta that has a way of breeding doubt. Three-cylinder engines remain an extreme rarity in the US. What's more, they earned a less-than-desirable reputation for applications in the 1980s and 1990s, and my trepidation about this latest three-pot as a result.
As I found out, though, history is a poor informant of modern technology. The thrust available in other cars with the EcoBoost badge on the back has not gone missing here; something the International Engine of the Year committee has lauded. That august body named the 1.0-liter Ecoboost the best engine of 2012 and 2013. After a week of driving, it didn't take long for my fear of threes to get turned into something like that line of thinking.

Ford books $1.2B profit in second quarter on strength of trucks

Wed, 24 Jul 2013

Ford is rolling along nicely, with a positive second-quarter sales report and a $2.3 billion profit in North America. The Dearborn, Michigan-based manufacturer captured $1.2 billion globally from April to June, with a $177 million profit in Asia. Even in Europe, the land of doom and gloom for automakers not named Mazda, Ford saw some success as it lowered its expected full-year loss from $2 billion to $1.8 billion. The company lost $348 million in Europe during the second quarter, which, believe it or not, represents a $56-million improvement over 2012.
According to the report on CNBC, Ford enjoyed a three-percent increase in pre-market trading thanks to the news. The strong demand for the F-150 propelled growth in the US market, while Ford's 47-percent increase in Asian sales can be attributed to the new EcoSport crossover and Kuga (Ford Escape in the US) arriving in the somewhat fragile Chinese market.
Pre-tax profits for Ford are expected to be in the neighborhood of $8 billion by the end of the year, with sales the US, Europe, and China all looking up. The company also shifted $4.78 billion of asset-backed debt in the form of bonds, according to a report by Bloomberg. This move came amidst rumors of the Federal Reserve cutting back on its $85-billion-per-month bond purchases. Ford wasn't alone among automakers looking to sell off debt, though, as Mercedes-Benz and Nissan shifted around $1 billion each in bonds relating to auto loans.
