The condition of the exterior, interior and engine can vary depending on the vehicle's history. See the seller's listing for full details and description of any imperfections.Seller Notes:"Has a lot of rust. One bent fender, but pretty straight otherwise. Rusty hood springs are preventing the hood from latching. Parts are missing from the engine. Wires are missing from the harness. Glass is all good!"

This old timer has a lot of issues if one was to consider it to be a revival project. It has been sitting for a long time and is pretty rusty. I do have an open title for it, but the last time it was tagged was in 1995.

I drove this truck 60 miles back to town to a garage back in 2000 when I bought it to have the engine rebuilt. Unfortunately the garage started taking it apart, and then went out of business over night and the landlord threw away the box of parts that were removed after they were kicked out. The picture under the hood shows the lack of parts. I then towed it to a place for storage where thieves raided all the wiring they could see under the hood. As I said... major project for refurbishing. It might be a good father/son project, but Dad would need to be a very savvy veteran with welding and engine experience. It would probably be better for the parts remaining.

One thing going for it is that all of the glass is good. The body is pretty straight except for a bent passengers side back fender (pictured). But it does have a lot of rust. The cab floor is pretty far gone. It was a Missouri Forestry Dpt. vehicle, and they added diamond plate steel to the bed. And they moved the gas line from behind the cab on the drivers side to the drivers side back fender. It says U-1 on the top for helicopters to see. There are a few holes in the top where a siren and beacon were once installed.

It has a three on the tree transmission. 

It's rough, and it is what it is. Please bid knowing all of this, and plan on towing on a trailer or flatbed because all four tires are flat and too far gone to hold air more than 10 minutes or so.

I'm happy to try to answer questions, but in all honesty I never really got to know it well. I bought it, drove it to that garage, and never got a chance to drive it since. If you are interested in it in its existing condition, then I guarantee you that you probably know more about it than I do.

Oprah at it again, gives car away on Jimmy Kimmel Live!

Sat, 17 Aug 2013

Oprah Winfrey loves giving away cars. Not only has she given Pontiac G6 sedans and Volkswagen Beetle retro-mobiles to everyone in the audience of her past show, but the other night on Jimmy Kimmel Live! she gave another car away to one lucky audience member, while yelling her now-famous line: "You get a car!"
Although the acting of Oprah and Jimmy Kimmel was obviously staged for this giveaway, the reaction from the woman in the audience was genuine shock as she found out that she had just won a new Ford Fusion Energi. Congrats!
Not to take away from what Oprah and Jimmy pulled off, but our cynical sides have to wonder if there isn't more than just a little coincidence that this giveaway took place on the same day that Ford announced a fuel economy reduction for the C-Max hybrid. You be the judge... Scroll down to watch the short clip from the episode.

Ford confirms Everest SUV production for China

Sat, 19 Apr 2014

According to Ford, the Chinese SUV segment grew by 49 percent in 2013, and the Blue Oval held a 4.5 percent market share. At the 2014 Beijing Motor Show, Ford is showing the Everest SUV that, while just a concept for now, will go into production in the near future.
The Everest is a big, brawny seven-seat SUV that mixes solid, chiseled styling and contemporary Ford design cues. Up front there is an angular version of the trapezoidal grille and sharp, wraparound headlights. The beltline rises in the rear to make the back appear higher than the front. The rear seems just as chiseled, with the taillights resting in jagged scallops. There is no doubt that this concept means to look rugged, and ready for rough roads - the whole thing looks pretty great.
The truck was penned by Ford's Asia Pacific design and engineering team in Australia, and it was first shown in Sydney last year. Ford's JMC joint venture will build the truck for the Chinese market, and it will be sold at Ford dealers there. The Blue Oval isn't hinting at what powers the production version yet, but it reportedly shares some components with the foreign-market Ranger.

Former Ford CEO Alan Mulally lands on Google board

Wed, 16 Jul 2014

Former Ford CEO Alan Mulally often referred to the Blue Oval as a technology company when he led the automaker. Now he'll be offering guidance to a different kind of technology firm: Google.
Mulally was appointed to Google's board of directors July 9, and late Tuesday, it was announced that he will serve on the company's audit committee. The veteran executive led Ford from September 2006 until he retired in June, succeeded by Mark Fields.
While Mulally will act as a board member - rather than in a managerial role - his presence adds credibility to Google's recently announced plans to produce an autonomous car. The ambitious program calls for 100 prototypes to begin testing later this summer. Production of the car is rumored to be in collaboration with a Detroit area performance company, Roush.
