Time for a new home. My brother has had this truck though 3 kids, and now it needs a new home. Just a good old truck. It would be great to help a landscaper, or contractor out. Could even be a great dedicated camping unit. I would think it should be worth about $1200, but we will let the Ebay bidders set the price. No Reserve! Please don't bid if you don't have the money. Ask questions first. We will report all scams and non-paying bidders. For any questions please email: duran5@roadrunner.com, or if you can keep it short, call Keith at 805-428-4609
The good:
The truck runs and drives pretty good. It passed the brake and light inspection to get the salvage title after a minor fender bender last year. Good tires all around. It has never left us stranded. It's got the tow receiver, long bed with a bed liner, and a Kenwood CD player. Power windows & locks work. The oil changes have always been done on time. The injector pump was replaced 7 or 8 years ago. Transmission was rebuilt about 10 years ago at around 180,000 miles.
The bad: The windshield is cracked. The dual fuel tanks are great, but the fuel gauge doesn't work. Use the trip meter to judge how far until fuel. The shift indicator hasn't worked since the steering column was replaced. It was replaced because the ignition tumbler wore out. Hole in the roof from a CB antenna, duct tape fixed that.
The ugly:
Salvage title is from a minor fender bender that the insurance company insisted on totaling the truck. The picture shows the damage to the rear bumper. The tail lamp has been replaced and the rest is livable.

Ford Focus Electric and ST recalled over lighting issue
Mon, 12 Aug 2013Ford is recalling 6,308 units of the 2012 and 2013 Focus Electric and 2013 Focus ST that were fitted with HID headlights because a "wiring incompatibility" could keep the front side marker lights from working. A bulletin from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration says the recall should begin in the middle of this month, after which owners can take their cars to dealers to have the wiring assembly repaired free of charge.
You can find more information in the NHTSA bulletin posted below.
Motorweek goes retro with '80s hot hatch shootout
Mon, 03 Nov 2014Motorweek's decades of history on television make it the perfect medium to look back into the automotive past and see how things are different now. It recently added old road test videos to its YouTube channel of the Acura NSX and Toyota Supra, as well as the Ferrari F40. For one of its newest flashback clips, Motorweek has exhumed an affordable five-car challenge of 1986's premiere hot hatches.
By today's standards, this is an eclectic field that features fondly remembered classics like the Volkswagen GTI 16-valve and Acura Integra. However, it also throws in some nearly forgotten contenders like the Dodge Colt Turbo and Ford Escort GT. The angular Toyota Corolla FX16 GT-S rounds out the group.
It's fascinating to watch Motorweek run the quintet through the slalom, down the drag strip and on various roads. What's most striking in this clip is the difference in the definition of a performance car between then and now. With its 16-valve, 1.8-liter four-cylinder, the GTI is the burliest of the contenders with 123 horsepower, but it still takes 8.8 seconds to reach 60 miles per hour. By today's standards, that would make it a plain-jane economy car, and not even a particularly quick one.
