Up for sale is a 1979 Ford Courier Pickup, or Mazda B2000 via Ford. It has the 2.0L 4 Cylinder, and optional 5 Speed transmission.

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.

2013 Shelby GT350

Fri, 31 May 2013

Shelby is a name as synonymous with the Ford Mustang as marshmallows are with campfires. But unlike the short-lived sugary confection that is prepared on a stick, the late Carroll Shelby's name on the placard means added performance and exclusivity. Launched in 1965, the automaker's celebrated early cars were in production for a limited run - today, a mint concours-quality 1965 Shelby GT350 can sell for upwards of $350,000.
To coincide with the 45th anniversary of the original Shelby GT350, Shelby American reintroduced the GT350 in 2011. Like the original, it was only offered in white with blue stripes. Customers were offered a choice between naturally aspirated (440 horsepower) and two levels of supercharging (525 horsepower with a warranty or 624 horsepower without). The manufacturer calls the GT350 a "post-title" package, a term that means it starts out life as a stock Mustang and is modified outside Ford's factory (this is in contrast to the Shelby GT500, which is a standard Ford production car).
As the GT350 enters its third year, Shelby has made several changes. Mechanically, Wilwood brakes replace Baer units and Recaro seats and a tinted glass roof are on the options list. Cosmetically, the vehicle is now offered in most of the Blue Oval's factory colors, new multispoke wheels are available in Satin Black or Bright Silver Metallic finish, and customers can choose between Satin Black, Silver or Gloss White stripes (or Azure Blue Metallic on Performance White or Ingot Silver). Aesthetically, the look of the car has also changed somewhat - keen eyes will note that it actually appears more 'stock' than it did last year.
