Berryville, Virginia, United States

1997 Ford F-350, 4x4, Crew Cab, 7.3 Power Stroke Diesel, Auto Transmission.  Great solid truck.  Truck is a beast!

In 2008 I inherited a minivan.  In 2010 it was obvious when we had a kid that we needed a 4x4 for our gravel, long, hilly, north facing, last driveway to melt in the county.  Before kid we could always walk out of the snow.  I was looking for a smaller half ton truck but someone wanted a minivan and he had this truck.  The rest is history.

Now we have two kids and face the reality the truck is too big for my wife and more then we need.

Truck has not been stopped in the snow.

Truck is almost entirely unmolested and stock.  It has Superwinch manual hubs. 

Very good mechanically with following exceptions: AC is not cold (new problem have not researched problem possible freon), power windows are inconsistent, cruise control will cut off, driver's seat is torn.  The truck had a front right quarter panel repaired due to accident.  Back corner of bed has dent. 

Truck was well maintained before I purchased.  The auto tranny was rebuilt and installed by Ford dealer in Woodstock, VA.  Paperwork regarding specs for the tranny rebuild is incomplete.  Just before I purchased it also received a new fuel filter and air filter.

Mechanical since I bought the truck:

Regular oil changes (Shell Rotella 15W-40) not listed in this list

June 2010 179,617
flush rad
pulled turbo apart and reseal
repack front wheel bearings
new front pads, rotors, hardware, front hub seals, caliper slides, and repacked bearings

July 2010 179,966
New brake line along rail and brake fluid flush

July 2010
front end alignment

July 2011 183,567
Four new Dunlop tires stock size and alignment

August 2012  187,976
new fuel filter
flush radiator

November 2012 188,538
new intermediate steering shaft

November 2012 188,662
two new batteries

July 2013 190,484
fuel filter
IPR valve

December 2013 192,584
Crank position sensor

March 2014 193,546
fuel filter restriction switch
neutral safety switch

It will need an oil change soon and the AC needs attention (please see note above)

This truck and generation of truck will go down as one of the top five or top three trucks ever produced by Ford.  This generation Ford truck is up there with the 1956 Ford pickup and the 1970s Ford Highboys for legendary Ford trucks. 

The 1997 is the last year with this body style, has the legendary 7.3 Power Stroke Diesel, and is a crew cab.  The F-250 and F-350 kept the existing body style for 1997.  The F-150 had a major body style change in 1997.  The F-250 and F-350 changed in 1998. 

Disclaimers - You are welcome and encouraged to see the truck in person.  Cash or bank check only.  No personal checks or pay pal.  Truck is for sale locally and ebay auction might end.  $500.00 deposit is required within three days.  Truck has to be paid in full within seven days of sale.  Short term storage is offered if truck is paid for in full.

Please email me with any questions.

We are going to miss this truck!  Our two boys (age two and five) love it.  Our oldest calls it Freight Train Buggy after the bluegrass song Freight Train Boogy.  He loves trains and since it has a diesel engine like trains he loves it! 

It is obvious it is more truck then we need a half ton will do for us.  I have owned numerous trucks and vans and this is without a doubt the strongest!

Thanks for looking at the auction!

Watch Tanner Foust hustle the Fiesta ST 'round the 'Ring

Mon, 15 Jul 2013

The last time we saw Tanner Foust at the Nürburgring he was sloshing an SVT Raptor from kerb to kerb. Sticking with Ford but swapping keys, this time the drift champion and Top Gear USA host goes to the opposite end of the manufacturer's tuner garage and plucks a Fiesta ST for 'Ring duty.
The 179-horsepower front-wheel-driver acquits itself well by the end of the video. But be warned, Foust doesn't set a 'Ring time and it's shot like a commercial... because that's what it is. Still, you can enjoy all two minutes and 31 seconds of it below.

Hot Wheels Ford Transit Connect is worth more if we keep it in the box

Wed, 06 Nov 2013

If the 2014 Transit Connect is anything like it's utile current-generation predecessor, and we suspect it is, it will undoubtedly be one of the most functional vehicles in North America. Ford has used the occasion of SEMA to turn the TC in to things that both make use of that functionality, and occasionally sort of wreck it in the name of good old-fashioned fun. The Ford Hot Wheels Transit Connect most certainly falls into that second category.
Most TC owners might cite the vehicle's massive cargo capacity as its top positive trait, though in the case of this wide-bodied Transit said space has been sapped in the name of a 55-inch television screen, a massive Hot Wheels drag strip (continuing a popular theme at SEMA this year) and custom storage for dozens of models from one's personal hot wheels collection. Designers have also plucked the grippy Recaro seats from the Focus ST, and thrown in a pair of 18-inch tablet screens for connectivity on the go.
Naturally, the Transit Connect wouldn't be an appropriate SEMA vehicle, or Hot Wheels name-bearer, if it weren't wearing an eye-popping appearance package. Additional homage to the Focus RS can be found in the blazing blue and orange front fascia and bumpers, while 20-inch wheels make sure the wider (four-inches in front and six-inches in the back) Transit Connect sits just right. The 2.5-liter four-cylinder-engine that powers the Hot Wheels TC ensures that the concept is more show than go, but you probably had that pegged from your first look, anyway.
