There is no buy it now price. This is a no reserve auction. I just want to sell the truck plain and simple for the end auction price and not be bothered with haggling or debating on what it is worth. What ever it gets bid to and sells for will be what it is worth. Please only bid if you can pay cash and pick it up within 7 days of auction end. 

Clean original Ford truck. Spent its whole life (until last week) in Arizona so it is completely rust free. Will post more pics of the underside after I can clean it up a little this week. Its dirty from the road trip to Michigan but its like new underneath - zero rust on anything - not on the exaust, not on the brake lines, not on the fuel lines...not at the body seems ...nothing.  Except for the tires, no reason why it could not drive back. Installed a Edelbrock carburator and recored the ford radiator.  Had a full tune up and new battery, alternator, and coolant system flush before leaving Arizona. Chock sets right and it runs good. 

Starts up, idles, runs and drives great. Very tight driving truck. Interior is in great shape. Radio does not work. Faceplate broke. Air condition is not working and the heater blower fan is only working on low.  

Other than the paint flaking some on the passenger side this Ford truck is super solid and ready to work or remain a clean rust free survivor. There is a dent on the upper driver door on the back side of window but its not very noticable as you can see. I hope that who ever buys this would want to keep taking care of it and preserve it.  

I will offer to drive it to the winning bidders location for the cost of gas (figure about 14mpg), hotel rooms, and my plane ticket home but i doubt anyone is willing to do that.  If you are..i would require payment in full using bank to bank transfer, and remainder due at delivery for gas/hotels, and my plane ticket home (I will not take a bus back - i will only fly back)

Please ask any questions. Winning bidder please pick it up and pay cash within 7 days. This is a no reserve auction and I want to sell the truck easily, please do not bid if you cannot pay cash or If you absoutly must buy it and have it shipped, you must arrange your own shipping following bank to bank transfer and payment in full is received. I wil not accept any checks, money orders, bank checks, cashiers checks, or any form of paper payment.  Have a Awesome day. Please ask any questions.

Tue, May 26 2015

Translogic heads to Ford's Research and Innovation Center in Silicon Valley for a peek behind the scenes at the latest tech being produced by the Blue Oval.

"Coming here to Silicon Valley, we really want to make a lot of progress on mobility, autonomous vehicles, [and] using analytics," said Fields. "So coming to Silicon Valley was ... to go to where the talent is, but also, importantly, to be a part of the community here." As for the GT, Ford's top boss is pleased with the tech driving the forthcoming supercar. "It's really a decades worth of innovation in areas of light-weighting, in areas of EcoBoost engines, and in areas of aerodynamics." Have an RSS feed? Click here to add Translogic.

15 vehicles most likely to surpass 200,000 miles

Tue, Mar 8 2022

Americans drive a lot. Collectively, we put, on average, more than 13,000 miles on our cars each year according to the U.S. Department of Transportation. Because of this, a vehicle's ability to travel long distances without major problems is a huge consideration when it comes time to purchase a new one. It's also worth remembering that keeping an older car on the road instead of trashing it and buying new can be considered an eco-friendly decision. After all, it takes a lot of resources to build a car. iSeeCars.com, a website that aggregates used car listings from all around the country, recently ran through the numbers on millions of vehicles that are currently on the road to determine which last the longest. Alternatively, you could choose to look at this list as vehicles likely to be driven by owners who travel long distances. Either way, we've laid out the top 15 vehicles most likely to hit or even surpass the 200,000-mile mark. It's important to note that while these are the vehicles that have stood the test of time up until today, we can't guarantee future results if you decide to opt for one of these from a current model year. That said, unless we specifically say so in the text below, we've used pictures of current models for illustrative purposes. Now, with all of that out of the way, scroll on down for the top 15 vehicles most likely to crest 200,000 miles. 15: Toyota Sienna 14: Honda Odyssey The 15th spot and 14th spot on the list of the top 15 vehicles most likely to surpass 200,000 miles are both minivans. Spoiler alert: They will be the only two minivans on the list. According to iSeeCars, 3.2% of both of these family haulers crest the 200,000-mile mark, making them the best bets for families looking to put a ton of miles on their machines. 13: Honda Ridgeline 12: GMC Yukon The next spot on the list is occupied by the Honda Ridgeline pickup truck with 3.7% lasting past 200,000 miles. Unlike any of the other midsize trucks it competes with, the Ridgeline is based on a unibody chassis. Opting for this more car-like structure — as opposed to a traditional body-on-frame layout — allows Honda's hauler to ride and drive more like a car. Up next is the GMC Yukon, also with 3.7% past the 200K mark, and the first, but very much not the last, big traditional SUV you'll see on the list. In fact, get ready to see a whole bunch of 'em, including several from GMC parent General Motors.
