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! :)

More than 800,000 Fords recalled for faulty Takata airbags

Thu, Jan 12 2017

The Basics: Ford is recalling about 816,000 Ford, Lincoln, and Mercury vehicles built in the US for faulty passenger-side Takata airbags. The affected vehicles were all built in North America, with 654,695 recalled vehicles in the US and 161,174 vehicles in Canada. A wide variety of cars, trucks, and SUVs are affected. This is a planned expansion of an earlier recall. 2005-09 and 2012 Ford Mustang 2005-06 Ford GT 2006-09 and 2012 Ford Fusion 2007-09 Ford Ranger 2007-09 Ford Edge 2006-09 and 2012 Lincoln Zephyr and Lincoln MKZ 2007-09 Lincoln MKX 2006-09 Mercury Milan The Problem: Like every other Takata recall, the problem rests with faulty airbags that can potentially expel shrapnel, injuring or killing vehicle occupants. Millions of vehicles from dozens of automakers are affected, so don't think that Ford is alone on this one. Injuries/Deaths: Ford stated in a press release that there have been no injuries or death linked to the vehicles in this recall. All in all, 11 deaths and 180 injuries across a variety of automakers have been linked to these Takata airbags. The fix: Ford will contact owners soon, and the affected vehicles will have their airbags replaced by a dealer at no additional charge. If you own one: Wait for contact from Ford, then head to the dealer to get a replacement. If you're wondering if your vehicle is affected, go to this Ford website and enter their Vehicle Identification Number (VIN). The recall reference number is 17S01.

2016 Ford Focus RS shows up in Geneva, still bound for America [w/video]

Tue, Mar 3 2015

Representing the super-hot hatchback movement at the 2015 Geneva Motor Show, we have the 2015 Ford Focus RS, the third-generation to wear the performance-focused designation. Bound for America for the first time, it's fair to say we're darn excited for the Focus RS and its 2.3-liter, turbocharged four-cylinder. With at least 315 horsepower under the hood and the long-awaited inclusion of an all-wheel-drive system, there's little arguing that the RS will be seriously quick off the line. It should be darn good through the bends, too. The all-wheel-drive system packs a Dynamic Torque Vectoring Control system that sends up to 70 percent of the power to the rear axle. On top of the AWD's torque vectoring ability, the Focus RS adds a brake-based torque vectoring system, which transfers power laterally, as needed. Michelin Pilot Sport Cup 2 tires should only help keep the RS glued to the tarmac. A three-pedal setup is the sole transmission option, which should delight purists. According to Ford, both the clutch and the trans itself have been bolstered to handle the 2.3-liter's power. Ford also comprehensively upgraded the looks of the Focus RS relative to the lesser Focus ST. Its enormous rear wing and the back bumper's rear diffuser complement the car's menacing face. The ST's center-exit exhaust has been ditched for a meaty set of pipes, while the car on display in Geneva shows off a different set of alloys than what we saw during the car's original debut. Check out our full gallery of live photos of this hot Ford, available up top. And be sure to check out our Short Cut of the new hot hatch by scrolling down. All-New Ford Focus RS; High-Performance Hatch with Innovative All-Wheel Drive Set for U.S. Debut - Third-generation Ford Focus RS will be available in major markets around the world and for the first time in the United States; Focus RS follows the reveal last month of the new Ford GT supercar – a new era of Ford performance that will deliver 12 new vehicles by 2020 - All-new Ford Performance All-Wheel Drive with Dynamic Torque Vectoring Control paired with a powerful 2.3-liter EcoBoostÂ® four-cylinder engine will provide impressive performance - Aggressive, functional design inside and out makes Focus RS the most powerful production Focus ever, with highly capable performance on both road and track - Professional rally driver and star of Gymkhana films Ken Block teamed with Ford as a consultant on development of Focus RS Cologne, Germany, Feb.
