Louisville, Kentucky, United States

This truck has been fun but I have a new project so I'm ready to let it go. I need to clear out the garage.
It has less than 52000 miles on it.

Long bed Flare Side (rare). Fords are Flare Sides, Chevys are Step Sides.
I have a side mount fender and spare tire mounting bracket for the truck that goes with it. The fender needs to be painted though. I think the addition of the side mount spare would look GREAT!


360 V8 2 barrel.
Dual Exhaust.
C6 automatic transmission. Shifts very smoothly.
Power steering.
Air conditioning. The air doesn't work right now but it is all there.
1 repaint in the original Wimbeldon White.

The truck is nearly rust free. There is an old bondo patch behind the right front wheel about 2" square.

There is a rust bubble beginning to form at the bottom outside of the passenger door. On the corner about the size of a dime. I took a photo of this but it is a poor one.

There was some rust along the inside of the bed on the flare that sits on the wooden bed. I suppose being out in the rain in its previous life the wood would hold water there. It has been ground  and painted. it is no longer rusting but you can see where it was.

These spots are not a big deal at all but I want to be clear that they are there.

There is an oil leak in the timing cover seal. This causes it to throw a little oil that winds up on the right inside of the hood. The leak is very small, not enough oil is lost to be seen on the dip stick for many miles. It does mark it's spot on the garage floor.

The steering wheel is cracked and the horn button needs to be replaced.

It does not come with a radio.

I have described everything that is wrong with the truck but said very little about how nice it is.

It is a very nice old Ford.


 It starts easily, It is a pleasure to drive. Drive it anywhere.
This truck is in very good condition. The pictures tell the story. It is beautiful.


 Ready for the new owner to enjoy.

Why Ford's Alan Mulally would be right for Microsoft, or any company

Thu, 03 Oct 2013



That Mulally was seriously being considered says a great deal about Microsoft and Mulally.
It appears that the chatter about Ford CEO Alan Mulally possibly leaving early to take over as CEO of Microsoft is losing air pretty fast. What's pretty interesting is that it got any traction in the first place.

Evo grabs Ford's Fiesta R5 rally car by the scruff

Wed, 04 Sep 2013

Evo and host Henry Catchpole were thinking of excuses reasons to borrow the bonkers Ford Fiesta R5 rally car for a day or two, when it struck them: the car is street legal. With access to the R5, some of the world's most beautiful driving roads in the English Lake Country nearby, and a handy video crewing hanging around, the plan seemed to write itself.
Based on the resulting video, it was a good plan. Without spoiling the video for you - something we can't really do in text as the best part is listening to the rally car run - Catchpole finds the Fiesta to be sublimely quick and massively satisfying. Even taking the car for a spin on a pseudo rally stage, after leaving the English countryside, does nothing but add to his assessment of the beastly little Ford. Scroll on below to see for yourself, and enjoy the ride.

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.
