1979 FORD F-250 XLT
Less than 82,000 original miles!
Great running 460 V8 w/ 4 barrel!
Drive home!
Here it is folks--the tough old pickup you've been looking for! This survivor Ford is in way above average condition. It's been on a farm for the last few years, and throughout its life it was mostly a summer vehicle. I believe it's only had 2 or 3 owners.
The Ford starts and runs great. It has a new fuel pump, new brake line, and 1 new tire. In the last year it received new exhaust and new brakes all around. It comes with a ladder rack that is easily removed.
About the worst of the rust is the cab corners and a little above the rear wheel wells. I believe the other rust spots are generally surface rust. The bed has a few very small rust holes, but nothing major. See the photos. The lower passenger side of the box is dented, as you can see in the photos. These dents would probably pop out fairly easily and the sheet metal is still strong in this spot. This truck received Ziebart rust proofing when new, and I think that is why it has survived as well as it has.
I believe all of the electrical except for the horn works. The AM/FM cassette radio works well! There currently is no trailer lights hook-up, but there is a 2" trailer hitch ball on the heavy duty ag bumper. This truck would be the ideal pulling vehicle!
This is a NO RESERVE auction. Please only bid if you have the money now and are ready to buy. Bidders with an eBay feedback rating of below 5 please contact me through the eBay Message System before bidding so that I can verify your good business intentions. Failure to do so may cause your bid to be cancelled. Please remember that you are bidding to own this truck; you are not bidding to come take a look at it to decide if you'd like to own a 34 year old pickup. This truck is not new, it is not perfect. But for what it is, I believe it is quite solid.
Enjoy the auction! People in the area are more than welcome to contact me for a test drive. The truck does come with a spare tire and rim. The front driver's side tire is new and the other 3 are older, but still seem decent enough (they're not all cracked up and weather checked). I wouldn't worry about driving it home.
This would be a great truck to restore, or just drive as is. Happy Motoring!
Enjoy the auction!

Couple items I forgot to note: The pickup is running off the front tank only. The switch was faulty that switches it from front to rear gas tank, so I just ran it off the front tank only. Gas guage works great. Also, the power steering pump leaks a bit. This is pretty common with this vintage truck from my experience. I just top off the power steering fluid once a month and it seems to be fine. Enjoy the auction!

Ford files trademark application for 'Model E'
Fri, 27 Dec 2013In early December, Ford filed an application with the US Patent and Trademark Office for the name "Model E." Historically, Ford never produced a Model E, and while automakers are known to file for trademarks they never use, some have wondered if the application might be used for a concept car.
Based on other recent events, though, it could be a legal move. In 2000 Ford sued an online start-up called Model E over the similarity of that name to Ford's industry-shaping Model T, but the judge dismissed the case citing lack of proper grounds. In August 2013, Tesla applied for trademark registration for Model E, and at the time, Ford said it would review the application. Tesla actually made two applications for Model E, one for automobiles and structural parts therefore, the other for "providing maintenance and repair services for automobiles," and there are plenty of theories about what the name could be applied to.
The Published for Opposition date for Tesla's applications is December 31, 2013, after which anyone who thinks they'd be harmed by Tesla being granted the trademark gets 30 days to register their issues. This is just speculation, but Ford's application - which was filed for automobiles only - might be about protecting what it sees as unwelcome encroachment on the name Model T, protection it wasn't able to enforce before when the stakes were only online and much smaller.
Ford ST Octane Academy [w/video]
Wed, 04 Jun 2014
The ST school is about more than just handbrake turns, hot laps, and sliding into parking spaces.
I felt like such a rock star. On my second pass around the UrbanCross course (read: fancy autocross) at the Ford ST Octane Academy, I absolutely nailed the exit, sliding the bright-yellow Focus ST sideways into a box the size of a parking space, all four wheels in line.
Ford looks back on 50 years of the Mustang in Detroit
Tue, 14 Jan 2014Ford has something special sitting in its booth here at the 2014 Detroit Auto Show. In fact, it brought two special somethings in the form of the Ford Mustang 1 Concept that first saw the light of day in 1962 and the very first production Mustang that rolled off the production line in 1964.
These classic creations are sharing floor space with the brand-new 2014 Mustang in honor of the pony car's 50th Anniversary. Since Ford's latest 'Stang already made its auto show debut (at a number of locations, including Los Angeles), we think it's pretty cool that the Blue Oval did something special for its home-town show.
Check out both the Mustang 1 Concept and first production 1964.5 Mustang above and below.
