You are looking at our beautiful 1979 Ford F150 Custom full size pickup truck. It features the classic bulletproof Ford straight six engine, 8' bed, bench seat, and manual transmission. Its been a great farm/town truck for us for the past 17 years, and all that time we have treated it well. Its been regularly maintained, and always kept under shelter. Though we've used it regularly, we haven't abused it, and have averaged just over 1,000 miles a year on it. Its been kept in the stock configuration, so this would be perfect for someone that wants a dependable classic ford, or someone that wants an untainted base for a restoration project.
Take a look at the photos for the great condition of the truck. There are plenty of minor dings and scratches, but nothing major. Biggest rust spots can be seen above the drivers door and by the drivers marker light. I used a bed mat as long as I've had it, but note the bed has plenty of surface rust - easy to paint a bedliner over or put an insert on top of. Based on this, I'm not claiming its a showroom restoration, but its an honest strong truck that's been used as expected. Examine the photos and make the determination if this is the one for you. It also comes with full size spare attached under the bed, jack under the hood, and new seat cover over the bench seat. There was a little tearing on the seat so I put that on to protect it and make it look better. In terms of little details you should be aware of note that its manual transmission, so be comfortable with a truck tranny and be sure that's what you're expecting. There is a piece of material covering up a crack in the passenger side dash, and a small hole drilled into the plastic of the driver's door. There is some smoke when starting, especially if its been sitting, but that goes away, and I don't really need to add coolant or oil. I check each about every season and top off as necessary. Sometimes it wants to rev when the clutch is in, but it returns to normal when gear is engaged. Likely the throttle cable spring. I have a log of its service history, which I'll include, along with a small library of manuals that go along with this model, including the excellent Robert Bentley publishers Ford F-Series Pickup Owners Bible. If you like to tinker on your cars, you'll have everything you need to go to work. Comes with original Ford Owners Guide too! In terms of the engine and running of the vehicle, its always been very dependable. Easy starting, and I take it on the highway regularly - its happy doing 65 no problem. Just had two new front tires put on, and did a front-end alignment while they were at it, so it drives good and straight. In Virginia you don't have to inspect antique vehicles, but I just tested all lights and they're good, and I'll try to take it in for inspection this week to confirm it will pass. Dual gas tanks, and locking caps are included for each tank. I also have plenty of keys floating around, so I'll gather those so you'll have a few sets right off the bat. I have a clear title ready to sign over, and can hand the vehicle over the weekend after the auction ends, probably starting on Friday morning, August 8th. If you'd like to ship it, I can work with your service, assuming payment it made before sending. And if you pay in full, I'm happy to keep it safe here, within reason, until you can arrange for shipping or pick up. I also might be able to drive it to meet you somewhere convenient - i.e. train station, etc. for a small fee. $500 non-refundable deposit due within 48h of winning auction. We're in zip code 22567. Good luck to everyone, and feel free to ask any questions - I'll be adding details as I think of them and will update the listing accordingly. Thank you! On Jul-28-14 at 10:48:04 PDT, seller added the following information: Update: just wanted to let everyone know I took it in for inspection this morning here in VA, and it passed with flying colors, so keep that in mind. Also, the mileage was at 99,921 when I took the photos, but I'm still driving it around a little, so it will probably be just over 100k at auction end. Odometer and speedometer both work fine. Thank you. On Jul-29-14 at 14:13:45 PDT, seller added the following information: Update 2: Adding some video of the truck in action - hope its useful! On Aug-01-14 at 06:51:01 PDT, seller added the following information: Update 3: Someone asked about the clutch, and I just checked my records and we put in a new clutch (along with pressure plate and bearings) just under 4,000 miles ago, and its been fine ever since. When we had the new clutch put in, we also put in a new power steering pump and carburetor, along with the rear main oil seal, so keep in mind all those parts are new and working great. On Aug-02-14 at 08:36:03 PDT, seller added the following information: Update 4: In response to a question about the gearing, its a classic four on the floor transmission - see photo of shifter below. Reverse is over and up, and first is up, so you have to get a feel for where they like to engage, but with the new clutch, shifting is easy. Also, you'll notice in the photo I put in a 12v cigarette lighter in the proper location, so you're good to go if you smoke and/or want to power your 12v accessories. Thank you.

2016 Ford Fusion hybrid, plug-in getting $900 price cut
Thu, Feb 19 2015While the overall the green car market in the US suffered a slump in 2014 with a 6.5-percent drop in sales, the demand for electric vehicles and plug-ins actually jumped a healthy 28 percent. The Ford Fusion Energi plug-in was among the winners in the segment with a nearly 90 percent boost to 11,550 examples sold for the year. To keep the ball rolling in the face of low gas prices and updated challengers entering the field, the Blue Oval is slashing $900 off the cost of both the Energi and standard Fusion Hybrid to make them even more attractive to buyers. Ford's Monique Brentley told Autoblog that, the reduction was done, "basically, just to attract more customers and promote sales." The cut affects every trim of both electrically assisted versions of the Fusion for the 2016 model year, according to Cars Direct, and it comes without the removal of standard equipment. On the contrary, the Energi reportedly gets a new EcoSelect driving mode that activates additional regenerative braking and more gentle acceleration. The $900 pricing adjustment is only for these models and not available on the versions with only an internal combustion engine, which makes it clear Ford wants to tantalize green car buyers towards this pair. According to Cars Direct, the models should go on sale in late 2015. The least expensive 2016 Fusion Hybrid S will retail for $25,675, plus $825 destination on all of them, and a 2016 Energi start at $33,900. Autoblog's own pricing pages for them show the same numbers (here and here). Cars Direct also predicts for the Blue Oval to keep most incentives in place even after the adjustment. Assuming these figures don't change before the sedans actually go on sale, the price cut makes a 2016 Energi less expensive than a 2015 Chevrolet Volt starting at $34,345 (plus $825 destination). The cost of the updated 2016 model for the Chevy isn't announced yet.
