Old farm truck with plenty of patina and a little flare. Lowered with a Volare front suspension clip installed 2" forward from stock to locate the front tires better and and a mildly "C" notched frame with the rear diff over the springs. Excellent driver that handles quite well. Has a strong 390 ci engine, comp Xtreme Energy cam, fresh heads, Streetmaster intake and Autolite 4100 4 barrel. C6 transmission with a shift kit and 3:50 gears in the 9". The wheels are new Vision Legend 5s and the tires have less than 5000 miles on them. Power brakes are good with front discs and rear drum handles emergency stops well.
The paint is obviously showing it's 50 years on the roads of America... Inside the old wiring has been replaced with a new blade type fuse panel and later model switches. Sound mat has been used under the carpet to help quiet the ride, the seat is an older reupholstered one from a '72 F series and the seat belts are genuine Rotunda/Ford aircraft style from 1963. The column is from a Chevy Van and the steering wheel was from a 1966 Pontiac. All switches and gauges work like they're supposed to other than the turn signals not self cancelling. Speedometer is Very accurate although the odometer has quit working! I have driven this every day at times without any problems and enjoy it always. It's only for sale so I can buy a Harley. Don't let the fact that it's a long bed deter you. It's certainly long on attitude and gets compliments everywhere.

Ford shares falling on news of lower-than-expected profits next year
Wed, 18 Dec 2013Ford has released projections for its 2013 profits, along with predictions of its 2014 earnings, and the news has forced the company's stock to stumble, falling over seven percent as of this writing. The Blue Oval is expecting earnings of $8.34 billion for 2013, although the bulk of that is coming largely from its North American operations, as troubles abroad continue to take a toll.
Calling 2013 an "outstanding" year, Ford expects its revenue to be up about 10 percent, thanks to gains in market share everywhere but Europe. But it's 2014 predictions that are causing stock prices to fall, as the Dearborn-based manufacturer expects pre-tax profits to fall to $7 to $8 billion, because of troubles in both Europe and South America, according to a report from Reuters. This is despite an expansion plan that will see it open an additional factory in the southern hemisphere, as well as two plants in China, all in a bid to launch 23 new or refreshed products next year.
The issues in South America aren't so much related to a fall in sales - Ford expects improved profits in Brazil and Argentina - but because of currency devaluations in Venezuela that are projected to cost it around $350 million. While that would still allow it to break even with 2013, Ford cites continued economic risks that could push losses even higher.
Ford sued over alleged 3.5-liter EcoBoost defects
Thu, 16 May 2013Three Ford owners from Ohio have filed a lawsuit against the automaker over defects that they allege exist within the company's twin-turbocharged 3.5-liter V6 EcoBoost engine. Automotive News reports that the lawsuit claims the engine "contained serious latent design, manufacturing, or assembly defects." Those defects, the suit claims, cause the vehicle to shake, misfire and lose power quickly.
Two of the plaintiffs, a married couple, own a 2010 Ford Taurus SHO, and allege they experienced a loss of power and stalling, while the third, an F-150 owner, claims he lost power while accelerating. In addition to the Taurus SHO and F-150, the 3.5-liter V6 EcoBoost engine is also available in the Ford Flex, Explorer Sport and Lincoln MKT and MKS. Other three- and four-cylinder EcoBoost engines are not included in the suit. There have been no recalls associated with 3.5-liter V6 engine, and the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration is currently not investigating the matter.
The plaintiffs, however, claim Ford has known about the problem, citing several technical service bulletins issued to dealers of the F-150 that suggest possible fixes. Ford had no comment for Automotive News, saying that it's yet to review the lawsuit, which was filed last Friday in Columbus, OH.
Curtain officially comes down on Mercury as dealers remove signage
Mon, 03 Jan 2011The process of shutting down the Mercury is complete. Ford officially made the decision to close its mid-level brand in June of 2010. In the months that followed, Ford offered its dealers money to stop selling the cars, with production shutting down in September. The last Mercury, a Mariner, rolled off the assembly line in the beginning of October and former spokesperson Jill Wagner said her good-byes to both the car and her job. Now the last piece of the brand has come down as dealers are removing any and all Mercury signage from their lots.
