OVERALL:
This is a southern, rust free pickup with excellent sheet metal, newer paint, and a fiberglass tonneau cover. The truck runs excellent, shifts smoothly, and drives down the road straight and smooth.

INTERIOR:
The interior has been redone and included a new seat cover, carpet, and headliner. The seat was redone in tan cloth and the seat foam is firm and like new. The truck is equipped with lap belts. The headliner has been redone and the door panels are in good condition. The dash pad is excellent with no rips or cracks. The gauge cluster is clear and all the gauges and lights are functional. The stock wheel has been replaced with a wood spoke wheel with chrome center cap and the horn is operational.  The truck is equipped with dual fuel tanks and the gauge reads accurate for both tanks and the switch over valve operates smooth. The carpet is new and in excellent condition. A rear tinted sliding rear window has been installed. A factory AM/FM radio is installed but is not operational.

DRIVE TRAIN:
The truck is equipped with the optional 390 cubic inch engine and Automatic Transmission. The truck never fails to start and idles smooth. The transmission shifts smoothly and positively into each gear. Options include Power Steering, Power Brakes, and factory Air Conditioning. A new radiator has been installed to insure the truck runs cool even with the air on.

BODY:
The body is in excellent condition with no signs of rust or previous signs of rust repair. The paint is newer basecoat/ clearcoat and is smooth with an excellent shine. The chrome and trim are in excellent condition and the Firestone tires only have a few thousand miles on them.  There is no sign of rust in the floors or cab supports, something these trucks were plagued with when driven  in a northern climate. 

This is an excellent opportunity to get into a future collectible vehicle. The price on the early 70's trucks continues to increase each year.  NADA value on this truck puts it at $ 14,595 but I am offering this at a much lower reserve. One has to consider the overall condition of a vehicle when looking at price guides and I can tell you that this truck sets a higher bar because of the condition of the sheet metal, the paint, and pristine interior.  Don't miss out on an excellent opportunity. I encourage you to inspect the vehicle personally or have someone do it for you. I will send specific pictures upon request and will answer all questions to the best of my knowledge.

I reserve the right to end the auction early. Do not bid unless you have at least 5 positive feedbacks in the last two years unless you contact me to discuss. Do not bid if you do not have the funds to finalize the transaction.

Ford nets $5.7B in 2012, $1.6B in fourth quarter

Tue, 29 Jan 2013

Ford brought in $5.7 billion in net income during 2012, which is around $307 million less than one year prior. Even so, the automaker closed out 2012 with the highest pre-tax profit for a single quarter in nearly 10 years, earning $1.7 billion in the fourth quarter thanks largely to a higher-than-average truck mix in the US. That's a jump of $577 million over 2011. Likewise, that translated into fourth quarter income of $1.6 billion. All told, Ford set a full-year pre-tax profit record in 2012. But that doesn't necessarily mean everything is rosy in the land of the Blue Oval.
Like every other manufacturer, 2012 saw Ford get hammered in the European Union, where a deep economic recession continues to drive down consumer confidence. The automaker lost more than $700 million in Europe, and saw full revenue of $26.6 billion in 2012. That's a decline of $7.2 billion compared to last yea. Ford says the market for new vehicles in Europe has contracted to 13.5 million units, the lowest number in 17 years. You can read the full press release below for more information.

2015 Ford Mustang option prices gallop onto the web

Tue, 22 Apr 2014

The 2015 Ford Mustang is one of the most anticipated cars of the year, despite the fact that production hasn't yet begun. What's a pony car fan to do? It turns out that Ford already has pricing and options information about the vehicle in its dealer ordering system. A few enterprising folks have snapped some pictures from it and have posted them online. You might not be able to drive your car yet, but you can at least see what it might cost.
At the moment, Ford appears to be splitting the Mustang into five models - 3.7-liter V6, 2.3-liter EcoBoost, GT with the 5.0-liter V8, 50th Anniversary and SVT. There are 10 available paint colors, 2 of which require an extra outlay. Triple Yellow is $495, and Ruby Red Tint is $395. Regardless of model, navigation goes for $795, and reverse parking assist is $295.
For both the EcoBoost and GT, the six-speed automatic tacks an extra $1,195 to the sticker, and adaptive cruise control is the same price. The GT also has a limited-slip 3.55 rear end for $395 and a GT Performance package for $2,495. Recaro leather seats add an extra $1,595. For the EcoBoost, there's something called EcoBoost Performance package for $1,995. The system doesn't say what the packages include.

GM also sheds parts from its pickups to boost payload ratings

Thu, 31 Jul 2014

The row between Ford and Ram over who boasts the best-in-class tow rating for heavy duty pickups has revealed a number of things. Chief among them is a report that Ford removes items like the spare tire, jack, radio and center console from its vehicles in a bid to lower its base curb weight and therefore keep the truck's gross vehicle weight rating down.
For those that need a refresher, GVWR is the vehicle's curb weight plus its maximum payload. A lower GVWR allows Ford to station its F-450 among the so-called Class III pickups, despite the fact that internally, it has the makings of a more brutish Class IV truck.
Ford explains away these deletions, saying a customer could order their vehicle in such a manner. It has also come to light that Ford is not the only automaker to engage in such practices.
