1983 FORD F-100 SHORT BED PICKUP.
1983 Ford F-100 short bed pickup. 1983 was the last year of the F-100 model, making this
a fairly rare truck, and even with the flaws, VERY hard to find in this condition. The short-bed body is the most popular,
sought-after style for the resto-mod guys, and this one could be a real jewel for the person who will restore it.
I
purchased the truck from my cousin about 19 years ago and it had 58K on
it; as it sits today (July 2, 2014) it has 122,675 miles, and so you can see that it's been driven only an average of about 3K miles per year. Today I just don't drive it very much at all, but do take it out to the store and around the neighborhood a couple of times per week. And I keep a close check on all it's workings. I've had so many offers and inquiries over the years on it, I can't begin to remember them all.
The issues with the truck are almost all
cosmetic except for the truck's bed tailgate latch. The little plastic piece keeping the internal pulls from slipping out of the latch deteriorated and fell apart (*a very common irritant) a few years ago, but it's easily lowered with a screwdriver to flip the tailgate holds. (I hate the cargo nets that lots of people use to replace the tailgates.) In 2011 it sustained some 'dimpling' from a freak very rare
hail storm here in E. Tenn., and I had scheduled to have it painted only two weeks after that, so I was lucky to escape that bullet. Because of its age, the insurance co. would not pay for the PDR and we settled: They totaled it and I bought it back. To fully re-insure it (*I can only carry liability now.) the dents must be repaired. 90%+ of the dings are on the hood and it can be replaced for a couple hundred dollars. The bed sustained NO damage because of the heavy rubber mat and toolbox. (*The toolbox and mat are included in this sale.) The top will have to have the dings removed.
Before the hail storm I was eager to restore it; now, I think I'll leave that to a younger fellow. It took the wind out of my sails.
There are NO rust issues with it. And no rust-throughs whatsoever.
The truck has a new rebuilt transmission in it that has less than 3K on it ( $2,000.00 for the rebuild) and it performs like new; I had it installed before the storm. It shifts now like new, and the old girl is still a lot of fun to drive.
The interior is all original. Seats have always been covered and are near mint. Few cracks in the plastic on the doors. Dashboard has NO cracks. All gauges work.
My cousin had replaced the original radio with a Sony system with 100W truck speakers behind the seats long ago and it's powerful and plays perfectly. (Not hard to find the original AM/FM radio)
Engine is a 302 V-8 Windsor.
Air Conditioner has been converted to 134A and blows cold.
New Tires have been put on....The Goodrich tires in some of the pics had cracking and I didn't want to sell the vehicle with those tires. The sun has been the truck's biggest enemy, in spite of all my efforts.
All in all, this is a great classic truck that will only increase in value and appeal.
*The price on the vehicle is firm.
With the transmission rebuild and new tires...etc. I can't go any lower and that's why I didn't add the "Make an Offer" feature.
So if you don't want to pay it, we'll just part friends and move on.
It's a scarce, solid, straight vehicle and with the right TLC, it could be a showpiece. This
is a 30 year old used
truck sold in as-is, where-is condition with no warranties or
guarantees implied. Please study the pics closely. What you see is
what you get, and I've listed all I know or even think I know about it. Ask ALL questions via E-MAIL prior to bidding.
Payment down is expected at the end of the auction. Please do
not bid if you cannot meet this requirement. I will sign over the
title once payment in full is made. Please check with your significant
other, your mom, your banker, your mechanic, and whoever else you need
to, in advance .
If you have less than 10 Positive eBay feedbacks, contact me via e-mail before you
bid or your bid will be cancelled. I do not have storage space and need
to have the truck picked up within 2 weeks of auction end.
*I've already had a number of questions concerning taking the vehicle out of this country to Canada and Mexico. You will have to investigate that matter online or with a dealer who has encountered that matter; I'm no expert, even though NAFTA seems to make it pretty clear that you won't have a problem taking it across those borders. But....I am not sure. When it leaves my property, it is out of my life for good.....and I'm having a hard time letting go as it is! :)

Fiat Chairman John Elkann has been turning to an unusual source for advice on the car business. While speaking during an interview with The Detroit News, Elkann said he often asks Bill Ford Jr. for advice on how to proceed with the turnaround at Chrysler. "It's great to have the opportunity to share this with someone like Bill, who has experienced many things and gone through many things ... especially linked to Detroit." Elkann said.
As the Agnelli family heir, Elkann has inherited a long and fruitful friendship with the Ford family. While Giovanni Agnelli built his first Fiat four years before Henry Ford created his first vehicle, it was Ford that showed Agnelli the benefits of mass production and helped pave the way for what would become the Fiat empire.
Giovanni's grandson, Gianni, helped mentor Bill Ford when he was elected chairman of Ford Motor Company. Now, Ford is returning the favor by helping Elkann navigate the automotive industry's tumultuous waters.

If you're in the market for a hot hatch, there are some excellent choices at your disposal - especially if you live in Europe. But if you want a diesel, well, your choices become rather more limited. Volkswagen tends to that niche market with the Golf GTD (essentially an oil-burning version of the GTI available Stateside), but that's about the extent of it. The pleas of those looking for more diesel-burning hot hatch choices haven't fallen on deaf ears at Ford, with the Blue Oval not only rolling out a facelifted gas-powered Focus ST at the Goodwood Festival of Speed this weekend, but also a new diesel version as well.
The diesel Focus ST (which we hope and pray isn't marketed as the STD) packs a 2.0-liter turbodiesel four producing 182 horsepower and 295 pound-feet of torque to propel the oil-burning hot hatch to 62 in 8.1 seconds en route to a top speed of 135 miles per hour. With less power and only slightly more torque, that makes the diesel Focus ST considerably slower than the gasoline one, which packs 252 hp and 270 lb-ft, runs to 62 in 6.5 seconds and tops out at 154 mph, but (in a testament to how far particulate filters have come) the diesel model cuts carbon emissions by nearly a third compared to the petrol version and returns about 50-percent better fuel economy, which makes that much more of a difference in markets where diesel is already priced better than gasoline at the pump.
For buyers who wouldn't consider anything other than a diesel, it also represents 23-percent more power than the previous top-level diesel Focus. The VW Golf GTD, for reference, offers up 181 hp (just 1 horse less), 280 lb-ft (15 fewer torques) but is somehow estimated to reach 60 in a considerably fleeter 7.4 seconds.

It would seem Volvo is finally getting around to throwing all of Ford's things out of the apartment. Automotive News reports the Swedish automaker is preparing to unleash a range of new engines as well as a fresh platform designed entirely in house. The powerplants include an all-new four-cylinder engine set to bow before the end of this year before arriving in the US by 2014. Shortly thereafter, the world should get its first glimpse at the next-generation XC60, which will the company's first model to make use of the Volvo scalable platform architecture (SPA). US buyers can expect to see that machine on their roads by early 2015.
The next V70 and S80 will also use the SPA, though those models will carry V90 and S90 designations when they hit dealer floors. But that doesn't mean Volvo has completely weened itself off of Ford technology. The V40 will continue to ride on Ford bones until the model's next chassis can be co-developed between Volvo and Geely.
