1979 FORD F-250 XLT
Less than 82,000 original miles!
Great running 460 V8 w/ 4 barrel!
Drive home!
Here it is folks--the tough old pickup you've been looking for! This survivor Ford is in way above average condition. It's been on a farm for the last few years, and throughout its life it was mostly a summer vehicle. I believe it's only had 2 or 3 owners.
The Ford starts and runs great. It has a new fuel pump, new brake line, and 1 new tire. In the last year it received new exhaust and new brakes all around. It comes with a ladder rack that is easily removed.
About the worst of the rust is the cab corners and a little above the rear wheel wells. I believe the other rust spots are generally surface rust. The bed has a few very small rust holes, but nothing major. See the photos. The lower passenger side of the box is dented, as you can see in the photos. These dents would probably pop out fairly easily and the sheet metal is still strong in this spot. This truck received Ziebart rust proofing when new, and I think that is why it has survived as well as it has.
I believe all of the electrical except for the horn works. The AM/FM cassette radio works well! There currently is no trailer lights hook-up, but there is a 2" trailer hitch ball on the heavy duty ag bumper. This truck would be the ideal pulling vehicle!
This is a NO RESERVE auction. Please only bid if you have the money now and are ready to buy. Bidders with an eBay feedback rating of below 5 please contact me through the eBay Message System before bidding so that I can verify your good business intentions. Failure to do so may cause your bid to be cancelled. Please remember that you are bidding to own this truck; you are not bidding to come take a look at it to decide if you'd like to own a 34 year old pickup. This truck is not new, it is not perfect. But for what it is, I believe it is quite solid.
Enjoy the auction! People in the area are more than welcome to contact me for a test drive. The truck does come with a spare tire and rim. The front driver's side tire is new and the other 3 are older, but still seem decent enough (they're not all cracked up and weather checked). I wouldn't worry about driving it home.
This would be a great truck to restore, or just drive as is. Happy Motoring!
Enjoy the auction!

Couple items I forgot to note: The pickup is running off the front tank only. The switch was faulty that switches it from front to rear gas tank, so I just ran it off the front tank only. Gas guage works great. Also, the power steering pump leaks a bit. This is pretty common with this vintage truck from my experience. I just top off the power steering fluid once a month and it seems to be fine. Enjoy the auction!

Watch Ken Block's scary Rally America crash from inside the cockpit
Wed, 19 Feb 2014Ken Block became famous for his series of Gymkhana videos, but he's a real racer in his own right. Block has competed many rounds in the FIA World Rally Championship and also rallied in the 2013 Rally America series. He nearly won that latter title last year - if not for a massive crash in the final event of the season.
Block and his co-driver Alex Gelsomino went into the Lake Superior Performance Rally needing a win to take the championship. However, missing a clump of dirt on the side of the road and one little word in the pace notes was all it took to catapult Block's Fiesta off the road and into a tumbling accident. Block says his initial reaction was anger because the crash came out of nowhere.
For 2014, Block is joining the FIA World Rallycross Championship for at least three rounds. He'll drive a Ford Fiesta for the Hoonigan Racing Division at the Norwegian, French and Turkish events of the 12-round championship. Former Formula One World Champion Jacques Villeneuve will also compete in the series.
Facelifted Ford Focus caught testing in the cold
Wed, 18 Dec 2013It's that time in the life of the Ford Focus to get a little work done - a nip-tuck here, some Botox there. Yes, Ford is testing a facelifted version of its global C-segment entry, which first hit markets in Europe and North America in May 2011.
Like the touchup on the Fiesta, expect Ford's gaping grille to make its first appearance on the Focus. Our spy photographers point out that this is likely to be a more comprehensive makeover than previous spy shots suggested, based on the additional camouflage seen here on the front and rear ends of this five-door model. New head and taillights are also likely in order, as are changes to the front and rear fascia.
The interior was also snapped and features a cleaner design with a larger central display. Other than that, it looks like some buttons have been changed, making us think most of the Focus' updates are limited to the exterior.
First retail 2015 Ford Mustang headed to Barrett-Jackson
Fri, 20 Dec 2013Want to be the very first person to own a 2015 Ford Mustang GT? Here's what you'll need to do: be in Scottsdale, AZ on January 18 for the Barrett-Jackson auction and bring a very big checkbook. Having a passion for charity isn't a bad idea either.
Yes, the first 2015 Mustang to be sold to the public will be crossing the block at Barrett-Jackson in Scottsdale, with proceeds from the auction going to JDRF, the charity formerly known as the Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation.
"Ford Mustangs have always been among the most popular collector cars at Barrett-Jackson Collector Car events," said the president of Barrett-Jackson, Steve Davis. "While every collector wishes they had snapped up the first Mustang sold in 1964, this is an opportunity to realize that dream in a different way."
