This 1955 Ford F-250 has had all of the heavy lifting done in its restoration and there is not much left to finish the job. It has the original 239 cu. in. 8 cylinder engine, which runs smooth and strong. The door windows have anti-vibration mechanisms, enabling them to raise and lower smoothly. The truck is definitely not a bondo-bucket. This is an extremely low mileage farm truck and that is why the floors, doors and rockers are all rock solid and rust free. The brakes are completely restored and function properly. I have loads of receipts and it wont take much more to turn this into a $20k - plus show piece. 

The original bed was the only portion of the truck that did not stay covered when it was on the farm, so it was scrapped but if you want them, it does come with an un-restored scuffed up replacement bed, used left & right rear fenders and a set of running boards that are in fair shape, just not as pristine as the cab.  A stake-bed would look great on this truck and the drive train can handle just about anything you put on it... certainly more than a F100. The final wiring for the lights is still left to do but fortunately, these trucks are about as simple as they come. It has a brand new 12 volt alternator installed but all of the components of the original 6 volt system are included and easy enough to swap out if you want to stay old school with it. It also has a new, high-dollar Optima Battery in it.

The truck is stored indoors and I am available to show it on short notice. If you are new to eBay and only have a few auctions under your belt, it would be a good idea to call me before bidding even if you are confident that you know what you're doing. 


Please ask your questions before bidding! I am not big into texting but you can reach me at 706-564-560 nine or via email. Calls are welcomed 24-7. If I am asleep, no worries just leave a message with your number and a good time for me to return your call. 

 Please remember, as the seller, I set the terms of this auction and as the bidder, you set the value of the truck. These trucks have and always will go up in value. That is why the highest bidder is called the "Winner" and the winner must pay a non-refundable deposit of $300.00 within 24 hours of the auction's close, via PayPal. The balance must be paid via money order, certified check or cash in person, within two weeks of the auction's end or unless otherwise negotiated before the close of the auction. I will do all I can to help with shipping arrangements.

Motor Trend pits Subaru WRX vs. Ford Focus ST

Thu, 23 Jan 2014

The Ford Focus ST has enjoyed a relatively calm, if brief, reign in the world of hot hatches. With nothing else in the class (in the States, at least) but the aging Mazdaspeed3 and Subaru Impreza WRX and the slow-selling Volkswagen Golf R, the Blue Oval's 252-horsepower five door has been the go-to vehicle for those that don't need the high-octane lunacy (and expense) of the rally bred Subaru Impreza WRX STI and Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution X.
Now, though, as the new Subaru WRX (it's not an Impreza anymore, though, neither is it a hatchback...) starts to arrive at dealers, the Focus ST appears to be under threat for the first time. Naturally, Motor Trend is here to figure out which one is the best, with another one of its Head 2 Head videos. Host Jonny Lieberman puts both cars through their paces, going above and beyond, quite literally, at the very end of the video.

Lincoln Continental to end after one-and-done generation?

Thu, Mar 15 2018

After only 18 months on sale, the vultures of rumor have begun circling above the Lincoln Continental. Ford Authority says "sources intricately familiar with Ford Motor Company's future product plans" for the domestic luxury brand say the Continental won't get another chance at life after this generation. Those sources didn't detail Ford's reasons for dispatching the executioner on another sad task, but if this is true, even the reasons we can only guess make enough sense to justify the move. The Continental launched into a crossover mania still mushrooming in strength like some Marvel villain, the equivalent of a new dinosaur hatching a few months before the Chicxulub Impact Event. In 18 months, the Continental sold 18,846 units, 12,012 of those sales happening in 2017. In the U.S. this year, sales amounted to 1,573 units through February, about 25 percent down on the annualized monthly rate. It could be worse: The Lexus GS has found 1,009 U.S. buyers so far this year, the Acura RLX, 285. Conversely, the Cadillac XTS — yes, a fleet darling — secured 3,163 sales in the same period. And the German kingpins live in another dimension, with BMW scooting 5,641 5 Series models off dealer lots, and the Mercedes E-Class boasting 8,411 sales of all three variants. Even the much more expensive and much more profitable Lincoln Navigator rang up 2,351 sales in the first 60 days of 2018. That's disheartening reading, especially after Ford reportedly spent more than $1 billion to bring the Continental to market. Sedan segment woes look to have killed the Continental's platform siblings, too, making the Lincoln's demise simply part of the cull. The CD4 architecture also underpins the Ford Fusion and Lincoln MKZ. Ford canceled the Fusion redesign and won't commit to making either vehicle after 2020. Lincoln's passenger car sales declined more than 30 percent last month; meanwhile, Lincoln needs to spend its money on the crossovers that are selling, and investment in the coming three-row Aviator that will replace the MKT. Ford has a CD6 platform in development that suits front-, rear-, and all-wheel-drive vehicles. Under previous CEO Mark Fields, a new Fusion, Mustang, and MKZ would ride on the CD6, as well as the new Explorer and a Lincoln brother. Those plans left with the previous administration, and company sources told both Ford Authority and The Truth About Cars not to expect a Continental revival on that architecture. Related Video:

What next for Alan Mulally?

Wed, 23 Apr 2014

Alan Mulally has emerged as a hero when it comes to American manufacturing. He came to Ford in 2006 after serving as head of Boeing's commercial aircraft division, streamlined operations, sold off the costly elements of its Premier Automotive Group and saved Ford from having to be bailed out by the federal government like its cross-town rivals Chrysler and General Motors did. But as we reported mere days ago, he's widely expected to step down from the chief executive's office at Ford shortly.
So what's next for one of the most successful executives in the business? Hard to say, but don't expect Mulally to disappear into retirement. Though he didn't ultimately take the top job at Microsoft, industry insiders expect to see him in another influential position - likely as a board director or even chairman of another company. (We say "another company" and not Ford because while Bill Ford may have stepped aside as CEO to bring Mulally on board in the first place, we don't see him giving up his chairmanship of the board also.)
Mulally has likely already lined up his next move, and could either announce what that move will be as soon as Ford confirms Mark Fields as his successor, or could wait awhile. Insiders speculate that he could leverage his transportation and aerospace experience into a position at General Electric or a major airline, his manufacturing expertise to benefit a company like Procter & Gamble or his management skills at a consultancy firm.
