1988 Ford F-250 XLT Lariat.
**EDIT** I just looked at the Vehicle History Report and it clearly indicates that there are more miles than I thought. More fool me - I was basing the current mileage on what the previous owner told me. Sorry for any confusion. I am the third owner of this truck and Specs: 460 ci V8 engine with fuel injection 5 speed manual transmission Locking rear axle Twin fuel tanks Curt manufacturing class 3 receiver hitch Electric brake controller Fibergalss Service Box with three doors per side. Some doors have shelves, others have hooks. All six door's locks work and are commonly keyed. Box has 4 "D" rings in each corner for tying down large loads. Interior: Cloth bench seat in brown/tan. Behind the seat storage bins. Sliding rear window. Instrument cluster has full complement of gauges. Voltage gauge in cluster does not work; there is an 2 1/8" aftermarket voltage gauge added to the bottom of the dash. A/C components work, but there is a slow leak and would need to be recharged to get much out of it. Cassette player in original radio works - play your .mp3 device through the adapter. Exterior: Two-tone brown paint with some paint fade/peel on hood and roof. Passenger side door gently dented (could be pushed out) and left front fender has a crease above the turn signal. Some surface rust in the lower cab corners, but no holes. Large aftermarket mirrors bolt through the doors and those spots are rusty and need attention. Fiberglass box in good shape with no cracks. Won't rust! I miss that with my larger metal box van. Tires have plenty of life yet. Rims are non-sexy black steel (I swapped the alloys seen in the pictures over to my new van) Wipers are weak and need some attention. I've replaced the switch (that didn't fix it) and bought a wiper motor that I haven't installed yet. Headlights are a bit cloudy; I have a better set that will go with the truck. Exhaust system is a a little loud, but not so much that you'll get in trouble (in my experience). Truck starts and runs faithfully and is ready to help you earn some money or serve as your portable tool or toybox. Please arrange to view and drive this truck prior to bidding. I have described the truck honestly and will answer all questions the same way. More pictures available on request (please allow me 24 hours to respond). Shipping, if requested, to be arranged by purchaser. There is a possibility I could deliver the vehicle to within a few hundred miles of Southern WI - please contact me prior to bidding to discuss. |

Ford doubling 1.0L EcoBoost engine production
Fri, 06 Sep 2013Ford's 1.0-liter EcoBoost three-cylinder engine hasn't been around that long, but it sounds like the engine is getting to be fairly popular in the automaker's global car lineup. The Detroit News is reporting that Ford has add a second shift that will allow its German engine plant to double daily output from 500 engines to 1,000.
The increased capacity is part of a plan to sell more than 300,000 vehicles a year with this engine in Europe by 2015. Europe is currently the only market where the smallest of the EcoBoost engines is offered (including in the Focus pictured above), but US-spec Fiesta models will be getting this mill for 2014.
Three-cylinder engines are expected to continue to grow in popularity in coming years with the report indicating that global production of these engines will double by 2018 to 9.8 million units. General Motors, BMW and Mitsubishi are all expected to introduce three-cylinder engines in the near term, as well.
NHTSA releases updated Takata airbag recalled cars list, but it still has errors
Wed, 22 Oct 2014
Unfortunately, the government's list still contains errors.
The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration has issued an updated list of vehicle models that it's urging owners to repair under the mushrooming Takata airbag inflator recall. The latest version adds vehicles from new automakers like Subaru and Ford that are missing from the original announcement, and it also removes erroneous entries from General Motors, leaving only the 2005 Saab 9-2X (a reskinned Subaru WRX), and the 2003-2005 Pontiac Vibe, a joint project with Toyota.
eBay Find of the Day: Mk1 Ford GT40 with interesting history
Sat, 03 May 2014You might expect a rare Ford GT40 to cross the block at some sort of prestigious auto auction from RM or Gooding, not show up on eBay for over $2 million. However, that's exactly what we have here. The seller claims the car is a late-build Mk1 GT40 from 1969, and it's currently owned by the director of the Hublot watch company in Switzerland.
According to the listing, GT40 #P1108 started life as Mk1 car that was built from factory spares in 1969 and was first sold in 1971. However, the auction is somewhat confusing. According to an image in its gallery, the vehicle was actually built from one of the seven spare Mk3 tubs when production of the iconic racers ended.
This GT40 was never built as a racecar - it lived on the streets its whole life. After assembly finished, it was sent to Germany and was eventually registered for the road. The first owner kept the car until 2005 and sold it with 7,300 miles on the odometer. The current owner bought it in 2012.
