The condition of the exterior, interior and engine can vary depending on the vehicle's history. See the seller's listing for full details and description of any imperfections.Seller Notes:"Has a lot of rust. One bent fender, but pretty straight otherwise. Rusty hood springs are preventing the hood from latching. Parts are missing from the engine. Wires are missing from the harness. Glass is all good!"

This old timer has a lot of issues if one was to consider it to be a revival project. It has been sitting for a long time and is pretty rusty. I do have an open title for it, but the last time it was tagged was in 1995.

I drove this truck 60 miles back to town to a garage back in 2000 when I bought it to have the engine rebuilt. Unfortunately the garage started taking it apart, and then went out of business over night and the landlord threw away the box of parts that were removed after they were kicked out. The picture under the hood shows the lack of parts. I then towed it to a place for storage where thieves raided all the wiring they could see under the hood. As I said... major project for refurbishing. It might be a good father/son project, but Dad would need to be a very savvy veteran with welding and engine experience. It would probably be better for the parts remaining.

One thing going for it is that all of the glass is good. The body is pretty straight except for a bent passengers side back fender (pictured). But it does have a lot of rust. The cab floor is pretty far gone. It was a Missouri Forestry Dpt. vehicle, and they added diamond plate steel to the bed. And they moved the gas line from behind the cab on the drivers side to the drivers side back fender. It says U-1 on the top for helicopters to see. There are a few holes in the top where a siren and beacon were once installed.

It has a three on the tree transmission. 

It's rough, and it is what it is. Please bid knowing all of this, and plan on towing on a trailer or flatbed because all four tires are flat and too far gone to hold air more than 10 minutes or so.

I'm happy to try to answer questions, but in all honesty I never really got to know it well. I bought it, drove it to that garage, and never got a chance to drive it since. If you are interested in it in its existing condition, then I guarantee you that you probably know more about it than I do.

Ford gives S-Max the Vignale treatment in Milan

Wed, 09 Apr 2014

Ford has a bit of a history in reviving the names of old coachbuilders it has long since gobbled up and using them to distinguish its top-of-the-line models in Europe. That's what it did for years with Ghia, and after having replaced it several years ago with the Titanium trim level, now it's doing it again with Vignale.
At the Frankfurt Motor Show last year, Ford revealed the Mondeo Vignale concept in both sedan and wagon body-styles, which are set to reach production next year. But before they do, the Blue Oval automaker is at it again, applying similar upgrades to the S-Max minivan and unveiling it in concept form in Milan this week.
Setting the Vignale concept apart from any other S-Max is its Milano Grigio rose-hued silver pearlescent paint, 21-inch alloys, chrome trim and hexagonal-pattern grille. Inside it's all ultra-soft quilted leather and aluminum trim, with tablet docking stations in the back and thinner, more flexible seats than the existing production version.

Toyota Camry, Honda Civic inventories mounting as US automakers make inroads

Thu, 11 Jul 2013

Two of the hottest-selling cars in America aren't quite as hot as they used to be. The Toyota Camry and Honda Civic are both seeing dealer supplies increase in the face of renewed competition from the much-improved Detroit Three.
According to a report from The Detroit News, the Camry's dealer inventory is 15 days higher than its seasonal average, while the Civic is 25 days above average. Things aren't expected to get better for Toyota and Honda, as RBC Capital Markets analyst Joseph Spak marked the two Japanese offerings as "at risk for reduced output."
The Detroit Three, meanwhile, are seeing supplies dwindle as demand increases, especially for the Ford Fusion, which has seen an 18-percent increase in 2013 sales, and the Chevrolet Cruze, which was second only to the Camry in June 2013 sales.

2014 Saleen George Follmer Edition Mustang debuts at Lagun Seca

Sat, 17 Aug 2013

Saleen used the occasion of the race-fueled Rolex Monterey Motorsports Reunion at Mazda Raceway Laguna Seca to announce its new Heritage Collection Lineup. The event was punctuated with the debut of the collection's first member, the 2014 Saleen George Follmer Edition Mustang.
Follmer's name will likely sound familiar to fans of American racing in the 1960s and '70s. The driver competed in Formula One with the Shadow team in 1973, ran the Indianapolis 500, was the Can-Am champion in 1972 and drove stock cars in NASCAR's Winston Cup as well. The multi-disciplined driver is now one of three -the other two being Mark Donohue and Swede Savage - with the honor of upcoming, limited edition Saleen-tuned vehicles..
