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! :)

Details about the next-gen Ford Mustang are scarce, and there's even less information out there about the upcoming replacement for the Shelby GT500. Previously rumored to drop the Shelby name and wear the GT350 moniker, the highest-performance Mustang has just been spotted testing near Ford's SVT operations.
Despite being cloaked in heavy camouflage, we can instantly tell this prototype is different from other Mustang spy shots we've seen in the past. Aside from the Shelby-spec wheels, quad exhaust outlets (previous spy shots show only two) and beefier brakes, this car also has air intakes on the hood and front fenders. These elements help to neither prove nor dismiss rumors that the next SVT Mustang will be naturally aspirated. It also looks like Ford is may be planning some changes to this car's rear suspension, as there is some extra camouflage added beneath the rear end of this prototype.
As a bonus, these spy shots also give us our first look inside the new Mustang, revealing a new steering wheel (with more buttons) and a glimpse of the dual-pod instrument gauges. Check out past spy shots of the 2015 Mustang showing off its new face and driving around town.

Trucks have towing capacity, EVs have driving range and performance cars have Nürburgring lap times. What do all three have in common? They should all be taken with a grain of salt. Currently, there is no sanctioned way to record lap times or verify production-spec cars - a lesson we recently learned with the 2015 Nissan GT-R Nismo - and until there is a way to do so (and there probably never will be), we'll never officially know the actual time it took for Ford to lap the 'Ring with its ultra-powerful Shelby GT500.
After posting a Ford-made video of a 2013 GT500 running around the 'Ring, the guys over at SVTPerformance.com (an enthusiasts forum not affiliated with Ford or SVT) wanted more answers. They got in touch with Ford's Global Performance Vehicle Chief Engineer Jamal Hameedi, who said until there is a way to verify the times and inspect the cars, Ford will not get involved with lap-time wars. In the email, Hameedi pointed out that the 'Ring is a useful tool in that it allows a wide spectrum of track conditions, but until there is a governed way to record times, there is no way to accurately compare cars head-to-head.
And as much as some may not like it, Hameedi speaks the truth. It really isn't possible to compare times from one car to another, unless those cars were lapping the same track at the same time with the same driver. Not that any of this means there won't be continuous wars by fans and manufacturers alike... in other words, feel free to voice your opinions in the Comments below.
