This American Classic was purchased new in Griswald, Iowa by my uncle. From what I understand, the 351 Cleveland was not available in this truck, but my uncle was real good friends with the dealer who was able to pull some strings and got it ordered with the Cleveland. Right after he got it, my uncle had a 4 barrel carb and manifold put on. My uncle drove it to California where he lives and it was there until 1987 when my dad bought it. It has been in Colorado since then. This was my dad's pride and joy! Oil was changed every 3000 miles and regular maintance was done as needed. The speedometer was replaced in 2007. Not sure why. Car had 144,578 miles when speedo was replaced. New speedo had 185,214 miles on it. So, actuall miles on car is 149,295 right now. Shows how little my dad drove it, he only put about 5000 miles on it in 2 years before he passed away in 2009. He had the seat reupolstered years ago and the carpet and headliner are in great shape. I took this out for a drive the other day just to blow the cob webs out. I was doing at least 90 MPH on the highway and it rode like a dream. I was very impressed. Very nice riding car. AC was still blowing cold air and everything seemed to be working just fine. The car was repainted 5 or 6 years ago and a set of original stripes (an extra set my uncle bought with the car) was put on it. The only thing I didn't care for is the guy painted it with single stage paint. It looks good, but the top and the hood will need a good buffing. All the original trim is there with ony a few minor issues (see pics.). There are 3 cracks in the dash. Two can be seen in the pics. The other one is to the left side. It does come with a fitted carpeted dash cover. There is no rust on car except for surface rust on underside which is normal. I did notice the tail light bezzles are getting a little bit of pitting. Front bumper has 2 spots that the chrome is pealing, but the bumper is in great shape. Tires still have plenty of tread, but there is some weathering and age starting to show on sidewalls. This is a true survivor! We would love to keep it, but it just isn't feasible and we would rather see someone get it who will appreciate it the way my dad did instead of letting it sit and rot away. If you have questions or need more pics., please let me know. A $500 deposit is due within 48 hours of auction end. Payable by PayPal only. PayPal, Certified US Cashiers check or cash for the remainder within 7 days of auction end. Car will be held until funds are cleared. To be picked up in Strasburg, CO (30 miles east of Denver). Or if you arrange the shipping out of Denver I will take it there for you. Thank you. THE BUYER WILL NOT BE DISAPPOINTED!!

Mustang GT350 reveal coming Nov 17?
Mon, 03 Nov 2014Ford looks to have something really big planned for the 2014 Los Angeles Auto Show. The Blue Oval has released the first of five teaser videos on the brand's performance heritage, and aside from some great images of racers over the years, the video includes a series of teaser images, the last of which points to November 17, 2014.
That's the day before press days open in LA, and considering the propensity of global automakers to plan lavish debuts the night before a major international auto show, it's a virtual certainty that Ford will be showing off some sort of special vehicle.
That'd be news in and of itself, but based on the images shown in Ford's teaser video - which include an Alcantara steering wheel, a "Powered by Ford" valve cover, aluminum pedals, sticky tires, a big, round exhaust tip, a honeycomb grille and a serious set of wheels - it seems very likely that Ford will be showing something performance oriented.
The 11 most expensive American cars ever
Tue, 12 Aug 2014Here's a Pro Tip for all you would-be classic car investors out there: buy Ferraris. With the Pebble Beach festivities kicking off this week, including any number high end car auctions, we thought it would be entertaining to compile a list of some to the most expensive cars ever sold with the bang of a gavel. Trouble is, once you get past the splendor of everyone's favorite Italian sports car maker, that list is pretty boring.
Ferrari dominates the all-time auction sales list; seven of the top ten most expensive cars sold wear the Cavallino Rampante badge, as well as more than half of the top fifty. Sure, a nearly $30-million Mercedes-Benz W196 racecar might be the new top dog as of last year, but it's even possible that Ferrari could take that title back in Monterey this weekend. Long story short: we think a list of the most expensive American cars ever sold at auction is a lot more entertaining to read. Hell, our list has a friggin' Batmobile on it, how can it go wrong?
Follow on below for the top ten cars that are red, white, blue and a whole lot of green.
Cadillac Escalade gets $5,000 discount to ward off Lincoln Navigator
Wed, Nov 8 2017General Motors apparently isn't going to let early good reception for the redesigned Lincoln Navigator steal thunder from its own luxury SUV without a fight. It's offering a $5,000 discount on the purchase or lease of the Cadillac Escalade this month to any buyer who trades in a 1999 or newer Lincoln model, Bloomberg reports. GM spokesman Jim Cain told Bloomberg the incentive is being offered to keep prices competitive for the Escalade. The 2018 Navigator starts at $72,055, compared to $73,995 for the Escalade, but the outgoing version of the Navigator is selling for an average of around $53,000, compared with more than $80,000 on average for the Escalade, he said. The Escalade was the top-selling domestic luxury SUV in October and No. 4 in the segment, according to Motor Intelligence. It far outsold the Navigator, which last saw a refresh in 2015 and a full redesign in 2007. But Ford is hoping to gain back some ground with the new Navigator and updated Expedition, which also trails the Chevrolet Tahoe and Chevy Suburban in its segment. Bloomberg notes that one Morgan Stanley analyst estimates that GM owns a $2 billion annual pretax profit edge in the lucrative luxury sport utility segment. Our recent First Drive review called the new Navigator "far superior to its primary competitor, the Cadillac Escalade."Related Video:
