I've had the truck for about 3 years and the interior is in great shape, new vinyl floormat, everything looks good and is clean. The truck starts and runs good. New Goodyear truck tires, less than 2 years old with less than 5,000 miles on them. Updated engine components: chrome valve cover, Ofenhauser intake manifold with Edelbrock 4 barrel carb and Headman headers with new dual exhaust and mufflers. The C6 Transmission has a deep chrome pan on it and shifts smootly. Well maintained truck with less than 71,000 original miles. In line 300 Cu in (4.9L) engine with 3 speed automatic C-6 Transmission and Ford 9" rear differential. Included in the sale is the paint for repainting the truck to the original factory colors and a new, in the box, sliding rear window and gasket, new rear tail light lenses, and newly chromed letters for the hood (F-O-R-D), and new chrome exterior door handles. I've already replaced the front bumper and headlight bezels, and the grill has been repainted. The bed is in great shape and doesn't appear to have been used much. The truck had a camper top bolted down on it when I bought it and I have the receipt where it was purchased and installed when the truck was a couple of weeks old, so the bed never saw rain until I bought it and it appears to have always had a rubber bed mat to protect it. The truck is equiped with a heavy duty receiver hitch (2" sq stock).
The original owner was stationed at Red Stone Arsenal in Alabama and had the truck for about 20 years and 40,000 miles. I bought it from a retired sheriff in middle Tennessee who was mainly using it to tow his pontoon boat to the lake and haul some hay bales around his farm. I've used the truck to commute back and forth to work when the weather was bad, otherwise I ride a motorcyle. I also use it to pick up things from Lowe's or Home Depot on the weekends, but I've only put about 10,000 miles on it in the three years I've had it.
This truck has had a fairly easy life, good maintenance and with a little paint and body work could be a showroom classic. I've taken a new job out of town and won't have time to work on the finishing touches so I'm letting it go. My loss is your gain.
The winning bidder will need to place a deposit by Paypal within 24 hours of $1000 and pick up the truck and bring final payment in cash within a week of winning. The title is clear and in my possession.

Ford files trademark application for 'Model E'

Fri, 27 Dec 2013

In early December, Ford filed an application with the US Patent and Trademark Office for the name "Model E." Historically, Ford never produced a Model E, and while automakers are known to file for trademarks they never use, some have wondered if the application might be used for a concept car.
Based on other recent events, though, it could be a legal move. In 2000 Ford sued an online start-up called Model E over the similarity of that name to Ford's industry-shaping Model T, but the judge dismissed the case citing lack of proper grounds. In August 2013, Tesla applied for trademark registration for Model E, and at the time, Ford said it would review the application. Tesla actually made two applications for Model E, one for automobiles and structural parts therefore, the other for "providing maintenance and repair services for automobiles," and there are plenty of theories about what the name could be applied to.
The Published for Opposition date for Tesla's applications is December 31, 2013, after which anyone who thinks they'd be harmed by Tesla being granted the trademark gets 30 days to register their issues. This is just speculation, but Ford's application - which was filed for automobiles only - might be about protecting what it sees as unwelcome encroachment on the name Model T, protection it wasn't able to enforce before when the stakes were only online and much smaller.

How new car shortages may impact your buying experience

Wed, 04 Sep 2013

If you want further proof that the auto industry is bouncing back, look no further than the empty lots and forecourts of your local dealership. According to a story by The Wall Street Journal, continued high demand for mainstream cars is overtaxing automakers' ability to produce enough models. Several dealers interviewed for the story are reporting two-week supplies as opposed to the typical two-month allocations.
With sales expected to hit 1.4 million units when August numbers arrive shortly and incentive spending down to its lowest amount since January, these limited supplies are pushing prices even higher. For example, according to the WSJ, the average price of a Ford Fusion is up past $26,000. Unfortunately, it's difficult for manufacturers to increase production quickly. If it invests in its facilities, as many manufacturers have done, it risks wasting cash if growth suddenly slows. At the same time, the momentum gained over the past several years could be short lived if vehicle supplies continue to dwindle. "Manufacturers are in a precarious situation," notes Karl Brauer, a senior director at Kelley Blue Book.
Low interest rates and a wealth of desirable features are also allowing customers to purchase more expensive vehicles while justifying their higher overall price tags, a situation that is compounding supply shortages. Even now, during the annual end-of-summer clearance season, deals on new vehicles are remarkably difficult to come by. According to the report, the Toyota Corolla is in a self-inflicted state of shortage, as Toyota clears out inventory in anticipation of the new 2014 generation arriving in dealers. Ford's supplies should rebound as Fusion production comes on line at its Flat Rock, Michigan factory. The Chevrolet Impala, Honda Odyssey, Civic, and Accord and Subaru Forester are also facing shortages.

Hertz goes Dutch with Ford Focus ST-H

Wed, 23 Oct 2013

Want to take a performance car for a ride? Hertz can make that happen. Spin by your local rental location (depending, of course, on availability) and you can take out a Dodge Challenger, Ford Mustang, Chevy Camaro, even a Corvette as part of the Adrenaline Collection. Hertz's Dream Cars lineup even includes Porsches and AMGs. But the really interesting stuff is what you can't get anywhere else: cars built specifically for Hertz.
Back in 1966, Hertz had Ford cook up a special run of Mustang GT350H models in back with gold stripes. It became an icon in and of itself, and in 2008 Hertz had a new batch of Shelby GT-Hs made. Earlier this year, Hertz contracted Penske to deliver another fleet of specially-built Mustangs you can rent. But if your travel plans include a trip to the Netherlands, Hertz has a completely different type of specially-prepared Ford on offer for you.
Back in August, Ford delivered a couple of Focus STs made specifically for Hertz in Holland. Now it's expanded that fleet even further. The Ford Focus ST-H features the same 252-horsepower 2.0-liter turbo four (and everything else) as the standard Focus ST, but gets that signature black exterior with gold stripes and a black leather interior with Recaro buckets. So in case a trip to Amsterdam doesn't hold enough thrills, now you can throw a hot hatch into the mix as well. Scope out the press release (in Dutch - isn't that weird?) below.
