My husband and I have owned this truck for 2 years now. We bought it in Seattle with a rebuilt v8 390 engine, c6 transmission (50,500 miles on it) and dual exhaust. The
body is straight and it's got a clean title. We've driven it < 1000
miles since we've owned it(most of that was our move to Portland). We've put a few thousand dollars of work
into it since then (~$4500, all mechanical, all done by
professionals). We focused on getting the innards running great, and then we were going to move on to the exterior. Most of the documentation for this work is
available. We:
- replaced radiator
- added electric choke (two pumps of the accelerator and it turns on.)
- rewired dash (to fix coolant gauge and speedometer)
- fixed low idle vacuum and timing issues.
- fixed transmission kick down linkage so its super speedy at passing
- replaced carburator
- replaced distributor
- replaced breaks (shoes and cylinders)
- fixed fan clutch which was stealing horsepower from the engine
- transmission flush
- replaced rag joint
Things that still need attention:
- the Exterior. Its a straight body. It will need attention before it will be a head
turner. Some surface rust. The previous owner bondo'ed it as well. We unfortunately didn't do enough research to see the extent of it until we were getting estimates on paint jobs.
- steering column bearing needs to be replaced. We were going to put
power steering in it, so we deferred the work. The rag joint tore and was fixed, but this apparently didn't fix the steering issues.
- odometer is now not working (just realized this looking at old
paperwork. :-/)
The car is registered in Oregon as a Special Interest Vehicle, which
means you don't have to pay insurance on it. We wanted this to be a truck handed down to our kids. We've reconciled this with the reality of not having a place to work on it and our desire to move around more.
We are EXTREMELY motivated to sell this truck. We're moving and it needs a new home too.
The car is parked near the corner of 19th and NE Schuyler. Come by, kick
the tires. If you like it and want to take it for a test drive, call
803.553.5801 or 803.221.2672 to setup an appointment. Serious offers
only, please. If you think you have a better price and it's reasonable, tell us why and we'll reconsider. Thanks!

2015 Ford F-150 shaves 700 pounds, adds 2.7-liter EcoBoost [w/video]
Mon, 13 Jan 2014The Ford F-150 is one of the best selling vehicles on the planet. Considering that, one can imagine that when it comes time for a redesign, there are hardly any half measures. For its lucky thirteenth generation, Ford has gone all-in on the single most important vehicle in its portfolio, redesigning it from the ground up.
The big news is the F-150's new, lightweight, Atlas-inspired body. Ninety-three percent of that new body is made from a sort of aluminum alloy not unlike what the US military uses in its M2 Bradley fighting vehicles and Humvees, and it accounts for up to 70 percent of the F-150's 700-pound weight reduction. As a side benefit, the aluminum body should prove more resistant to dents and dings. Built Ford tough, indeed.
If you're wondering where the other 30 percent of that 700-pound weight loss went, 8.5 percent (60 pounds) came from the increased use of high-strength steel (up from 23 percent to 77 percent) in its ladder-box frame. Ford claims this steel is comparable to some of the heavy duty pickups used by its competitors, with a PSI rating of 70,000.
Toyota, Ford decide to end hybrid collaboration before it starts
Tue, 23 Jul 2013Not all so-called Memorandum of Understanding pacts end in actual collaborations. For instance, after a two-year "feasibility study," Toyota and Ford have just announced that they will not be developing hybrid systems for use in light trucks and SUVs as previously planned, and the two automakers will instead continue to develop their own hybrid technology independently.
The would-be collaboration was first announced in August of 2011, and would have seen a rear-wheel-drive hybrid platform that would "improve the efficiency of trucks and SUVs while still allowing them to be driven in the way customers expect," according to our initial post on the topic.
Keep in mind that this announcement isn't to say we shouldn't expect hybrid pickups and SUVs from the two automakers, but that they probably aren't coming very soon - Ford says it will have a system "before the end of this decade" and we haven't heard much from Toyota on the hybrid truck front since the 2008 A-BAT Concept (pictured above) - and that they will not share any components between them (and they never have, for what it's worth).
2014 Ford Fiesta 1.0L EcoBoost to hit 45 mpg for $16,445*
Mon, 28 Oct 2013When Ford first announced its plan to put the 1.0-liter EcoBoost three-cylinder engine under the hood of the 2014 Fiesta, it promised hybrid-like fuel economy without a hybrid-like premium. We're still waiting for official specs on this engine, but thanks to the EPA's fueleconomy.gov website and Ford's retail site, we now know what customers can expect in terms of both fuel economy and price.
All along, Ford has said that it expects the 1.0-liter EcoBoost to get more than 40 miles per gallon on the highway, and now the EPA backs this up with official ratings of 32 mpg in the city and 45 mpg on the highway. These numbers are an increase of two mpg city and four mpg hwy compared to the current fuel-sipping Fiesta (the 1.6 SFE), and it also beats other three-cylinder cars for highway mileage like the 2014 Mitsubishi Mirage (44 mpg highway) and 2014 Smart Fortwo (38 mpg highway); the Fiesta 1.0 EcoBoost is lower than both three-pot rivals, though, in city fuel economy with the Mitsubishi getting 37 mpg city and the Smart rated at 34 mpg city. This model handily beats high-volume small cars like the Honda Fit, Toyota Yaris and Chevy Spark in both city and highway numbers.
As for pricing, the 1.0-liter EcoBoost is offered on both the sedan and hatchback as a $995 option called the SE Manual EcoBoost package, which is aptly named since it's only offered on SE trim-level Fiestas equipped with a manual transmission. Along with the engine, the package also comes with 15-inch steel wheels, regenerative brakes and a decklid spoiler on the sedan. This means the four-door Fiesta 1.0 EcoBoost will start at $16,445*, or $17,045* for the hatchback (*not including $795 for destination).
