This Lightning is too nice for words to describe. This is a true collectors vehicle.
It was purchased by a collector in NH from a collector in TX. I have a copy of the Texas title and the TX inspection stickers I left on the windshield. (I Like them)
All bone stock. No lowered suspension shackles, no after market cold air air filter, no higher boost lower pulley not even a louder exhaust. All Original virgin truck.
You know all the basics, here are the extras from the factory. Original rubber bottom bed liner, original soft tonneau cover (looks like new) factory applied under coat which was done prior to final assembly of the front and rear fenders - a very rare option for the Lightning.The front bumper has never been drilled at the factory dimpled location sights for the front license plate. When I bought it in the summer of 2012 I had the clear stone guard front end protection film applied and I really like it. I intended to drive it so it was the best solution to protecting the paint from rocks etc and still look great. It can be removed.
There are no door dings, no bumper marks from touching other car bumpers, parking lot fences etc. The wheels are flawless with the original F1 tires and have never been off the truck. No marks on the wheels or lug nuts from wrench etc. Interior is perfect as it should be with 10K miles. My seats remain covered at all times unless parked at a Cruise Night for display. Non smoking environment as well. No food, soda or coffee are ever allowed in my truck! Much to my wife's dismay!
I have taken it on a 600 mile round trip to NJ and the rest of the time it is taken to a Cruise Night or a leisure scenic New England ride. Truck looks, runs and drives perfectly.
I hate to sell it, so here is my short reason for selling.
Two years ago I bought a 2001 Lightning with high mileage. It had the usual mods running about 400 hp. I loved it, but the underneath was rotted. It was obviously used in the New England winters with our salted roads. Too bad as it was otherwise a nice truck. Faced with a choice of extensive rust repairs to a 140K miles truck or replacing it, I chose to replace it. I was not looking for a perfect truck, just one not rusted out with maybe 50-90K miles would have been fine. I found this truck and was in love even though it was a few grand more than i was looking to spend, the newness of it was worth it. I bought it with intentions of doing the usual modifications to bring it up in the 400-420 HP range. I now feel as though the truck is too nice for me to start making modifications to. In addition, it is so nice that I am nervous driving it. So I will sell it and replace it with a higher mileage one with no rust and maybe already fitted with mods. Then I won't feel guilty about altering this perfect virgin and won't be nervous driving a high mileage truck. That being said, I will take your higher mileage Red or maybe white Lightning in trade. Any year second generation model, stock or mods OK. No uncared for trucks in trade.
Clear Mass. title in hand as I paid cash for it. You are welcomed to come here or send someone here to inspect the truck prior to bidding or even after you bought it. If it is not what I say, you can back out of the sale. This truck was always garaged and babied. It is currently stored for the winter in a heated facility with three, yes three fitted covers on it. When warm weather is here I keep it in my yard under cover. If I drive it as soon as I pull in the yard I pull the cover from the back of the truck and put the cover on before I do anything else. A bit anal perhaps, but I paid a lot for a very nice truck. I intend to keep it nice. Not taken out in rain or driven after first snow fall so it is never exposed to salt, not even dry dusty salt.
Payment in cash preferred. Certified bank check drawn on Bank of America or other bank with branch in Massachusetts. Checks must be cashed by me and cleared prior to truck leaving. If shipping, you must make the arrangements. I prefer to have you come here with cash, see it, drive it and pay for it so we are both happy with the deal. 978-632-7005 days.

Ford shutters Genk assembly plant in Belgium
Tue, Dec 23 2014Ford has become the latest automaker to close one of its European assembly plants. The facility in question is located in the Belgian city of Genk and has been in operation since the early '60s when it started building the Taunus, Ford's first mass-produced, front-drive model. As part of the plan first announced over two years ago, the Genk Body & Assembly Plant is now closing its doors after half a century in the business and over fourteen million vehicles built. Although the plant itself employed some 5,000 workers, once you take into account the suppliers built up around the plant, the overall impact on employment in the area edges closer to 12,000. Genk Body & Assembly had until recently been tasked with producing the Mondeo sedan (which in its current iteration we know as the Fusion) as well as the S-Max and Galaxy minivans. Production of the Mondeo shifted in 2013 to the company's plant in Valencia, Spain, which also handles the Kuga crossover and Transit Connect cargo van, and will soon take over the minivans from Genk as well. The move follows a similar decision undertaken by General Motors to close the Opelwerk plant in Bochum, Germany. It also reflects a scaling down of automobile production in Belgium specifically: although Audi still manufacturers in Brussels and and Volvo in Ghent, Opel closed its plant in Antwerp in 2000 and Renault ceased production in Vilvoorde back in '97. However Ford still maintains its famous proving ground half an hour to the north in Lommel, Belgium.

Top Gear pits Hennessey VelociRaptor vs. Range Rover Sport SVR
Fri, Jun 5 2015As a television series, Top Gear is in limbo with an intent to return, but no hosts yet. However, it's magazine and website continue to bring us clips like this one. While the video might lack the show's charismatic hosts, this is an opportunity to see a drag race between a Land Rover Range Rover Sport SVR with 550 horsepower and a Hennessey VelociRaptor with 623 hp. The duel between these two supercharged V8s definitely sounds great. Both rugged models start at the line growling angrily at each other like dogs ready for a fight. You have to watch the clip to see whether the more powerful VelociRaptor feeds on the SVR, though.

Wrap up some fun with Ford's commercial vehicle configurator
Tue, 27 Aug 2013Ford has combined multiple steps into one with its commercial vehicle configurator, which allows users to choose, design and place orders for the Transit, Transit Connect, E-Series vans and F-Series Super Duty trucks.
The most interesting part of the new configurator is a fairly robust design tool. Users are able to choose paint color and wrap the vehicle, and then create their own graphics. No materials are needed - Ford provides numerous background textures, text boxes, plenty of shapes and 20 categories of images including floral, construction, plumbing and skylines. Self-created designs or images can be uploaded to the system as well.
We played around with the design tool a bit and uploaded our own image to create the Autoblog Podcast Live van you see here. Feel free to check out the configurator and make your own design.
