Story as I know it:
Man I purchased the truck from last year told me that his brother bought it brand new in 1978. He drove it for 4 years until he went into the Navy for 20 years. He passed away in 2009 and his brother inherited the truck. According to the old man, it sat in the barn for those 20 years and has 47,xxx original miles on it. I don't think that's the case, more like 147,xxx or 247,xxx. Its in good shape, but I don't have a car fax for it so I don't know. I would like to give him credit, but people tell wild stories. 

The Goods:
New parts in the last 2 years:
Water Pump
Radiator
Head Gasket
Shaved head for perfection
New Ball Joints
New Shocks
New Battery
Front Brakes
Wheel Cylinders
Timing Chain
Not Lowered
ALL GLASS is perfect

The Bads:
Needs an alignment; it road walks quite a bit.
Exhaust leak
Malfunctioning choke; still starts and drives just fine, it just takes a few minutes to warm it up in the morning
Some rust in floor boards, not rusted through though. Also some rust on drivers front quarter panel.
Back of the bed on passenger side has the sheet metal pulled out from someone hooking their hitch under the bed and pulling it out.
The interior is a 6 or 7/10. Seat is ripped, dash has a crack, and floor mat is rough.
Needs heater core hoses refitted. It leaks once in a while.
Loose connection somewhere in dash lights, but they work if you wiggle them. Been that way since I bought it.

EVERY ISSUE IS LISTED HERE, and if you want more pictures I would be more than happy to email them to you.

All in all it is a good truck. It has been my daily driver for a year now. Clean Oregon title. Has an after market cd player mounted under the dash, the instrument bezel and original stereo is fully intact. Its no gem, but it runs and drives.Sitting on 18' Nissan Titan wheels that were cut and shaved to fit onto mini trucks. If the selling price goes above $1,500 they will be included. If lower than $1,500 only the stock wheels and hub caps will be included. Either way, you get the original steelies and hub caps.

Pay-pal or bank transfer only. That way everyone knows where there money is and its fully documented. Buyer assumes responsibility for transport picked up from my house.

ALSO there is some paint fading on the bed. I didn't want to leave that out.

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.

Ford reserving 50th Anniversary Mustangs for service members

Tue, Dec 16 2014

Think getting your hands on one of the 1,964 50th Anniversary Ford Mustangs is hard as a civilian? Imagine how tough it might be for the Mustang fanatics in our nation's military. Perhaps recognizing this fact, Ford Emerging Market Services and the Overseas Military Sales Corporation (the only Ford-authorized retailer on the military's bases) ran a raffle, with the winners receiving the opportunity to purchase one of the limited-edition muscle cars. Ford EMS and OMS received 300 entries to the raffle, although with only eight 50th Anniversary Stangs to hand out, we imagine there were quite a lot of disappointed soldiers, sailors, airmen and marines. "We are pleased to offer limited-edition anniversary Mustangs to members of our military through our Military Appreciation Program, and we are delighted at the response it's receiving," Doug Walczak, EMS' fleet sales manager, said. The first Mustang was delivered to Army Maj. Del Boyer, shown above. While Maj. Boyer took delivery in New York, the raffle was open to servicemembers both at home and abroad.

Ford reflects on radical Mustang concept that never reached showrooms

Tue, 25 Jun 2013

The Ford Mustang that we all know and love made major waves in the auto industry way back in 1964 by offering style and reasonable pricing with optional V8 power. Its long hood and short rear deck, combined with a low-slung and sporty cockpit, made a lasting impression in the minds of consumers and car designers alike, and its basic shape has so endured the test of time that it's still in use today.
This being the case, you may be interested to know that the first Mustang of 1964.5 wasn't actually the first Mustang at all, being preceded by a concept car that made its public debut in 1962. This concept was nothing like the car that would eventually make it into production, with a radical wedge shape and a small V4 engine sitting behind the car's two occupants, driving the rear wheels. In other words, the conceptual Mustang was pretty much the complete opposite of the production Mustang besides the name.
Ford has kindly decided go through its massive archive to bring the original Mustang concept back into the public eye. The company goes so far as to pose this question to fans of the pony car: "Should we borrow a few of these style elements for the next iteration of the Mustang?"
