This auction is for a 1993 Ford F250 heavy duty pick up truck that we have owned for about 4 years after purchasing it from the original owner.  They were selling it due to the fact that they were elderly and after damaging the front fender on a guard rail, decided it was too big for them to handle and we were the lucky ones to buy it. Infact, the next owner will receive the picture of the original owner that we keep on the sunvisor.  We keep it there to keep him in our thoughts since he sold us such a great truck which we are thankful for.   Over the years, the truck has been ultra reliable for us and has done everything we asked it to do which was mainly to haul our 30ft and 36ft travel trailers and to make trips out of state to pick up cars.  We do not think twice or hesitate to drive it anywhere.  Why are we selling it?  We have sold our house and are moving to Florida and are only taking two of our 5 cars and selling the other three.  We have already sold our campers and do not need the truck anymore.
The truck has only 131,XXX miles on it which is a low 6K per year and has another 100,000 left in it.  The engine is the 5.7 liter 460 and will pull just about everything.  It runs well for us but is due for a tune up.  One side of the exhaust has a leak, but the other side has a new gasket.  The A/C compressor was removed, but all of the lines are there if the new owner wanted to put a compressor back in.  It starts every time and runs all day.
The body is decent with the exception of the crinkled front fender and surrounding area that you can see in the pictures.  The bed is a full size 8ft unit and is equipped with a 5th wheel hitch which is removable when not needed.  The cab is an extended cab and can fit 3 adults or 4 children in the back seat, or it can be folded down to store your gear.  The front seats are bucket seats which is much more comfortable than the standard bench seat.  The upholstery is very good for the year of the truck.  The radio works intermittently and comes on sometimes and is always guaranteed to shut off during a good song or during a funny part of Car Talk on NPR.  The tires are ok but one rear on has some cracking in the sidewall.

Overall, this is just a good honest truck that has faithfully served us well over the years and one that we would never be selling if we weren't moving to Florida.  It is not perfect by any means, but it will serve the new owner well for years to come. 
We highly recommend any potential buyer to come over and look at it in person PRIOR TO BIDDING or send an auto inspection service to give a report.  Local bidders are encouraged to bring their mechanic to inspect it, again, prior to bidding.  We love this truck and think very highly of it and want the new owners to feel the same.
A $300 deposit is required immediately at the end of auction by paypal, and the balance is due within 7 days after the auction is done which is when we would like it picked up by then.  Title is free and clear.

Ford and Chrysler reducing summer plant shutdowns

Wed, 22 May 2013

Most domestic automaker assembly plants traditionally take a couple of weeks off during the summer. The shutdowns give each plant time for much needed repairs and maintenance, and in some cases, help better align production with demand. Not this year, though, as demand for many models is outstripping what Ford, Chrysler and General Motors plants can produce.
Ford has announced that it will shorten its annual summer shutdown for most North American plants from two weeks to one. The shorter shutdown will increase the carmaker's annual North American production by 40,000 units on top of the 200,000 extra units that it was already planning to produce this year versus last. Automotive News reports that Ford produced 2.8 million vehicles on this continent in 2012, and that output this year has already increased 13 percent through April.
Chrysler, meanwhile, is also operating at full tilt and plans to run some plants through the summer with no shutdown at all. Those not getting a break include Jefferson North where the Jeep Grand Cherokee and Dodge Durango are assembled, Toledo North that will assemble the new Cherokee, and Conner Avenue, home of SRT Viper production. Other assembly plants will be down for a single week, while all of Chrysler's engine and transmission plants except one in Indiana will continue operating with no shutdown this summer.

Detroit Three autoworkers could get huge bonuses

Mon, 06 Jan 2014

For a long time, being a line worker for one of the Detroit Three has meant living with an uncertain future. With the health of American automakers on the rise, though, things are also starting to look up for the men and women building the cars. The latest sign that things aren't bad? Big profit-sharing checks.
According to The Detroit News, Ford, General Motors and Chrysler could end up paying over $800 million to 130,000 workers as part of a profit-sharing plan. According to The News, the economic impact of these profits in Michigan alone could exceed $400 million, besting the NFL's Super Bowl, MLB's All-Star Game and the NHL's Winter Classic for their economic impact.
This is the third straight year the Detroit Three have issued profit-sharing checks to UAW employees, and for many workers, the checks are as close as they'll get to a raise, due to the most recent contract between the union and the manufacturers. On average, employees at GM and Ford receive $1 for every $1 million in North American (not just the US) pre-tax profits. Chrysler, meanwhile, gets a similar deal, although the Auburn Hills-based company calculates profit sharing using 85 percent of the brand's global profits.

What next for Alan Mulally?

Wed, 23 Apr 2014

Alan Mulally has emerged as a hero when it comes to American manufacturing. He came to Ford in 2006 after serving as head of Boeing's commercial aircraft division, streamlined operations, sold off the costly elements of its Premier Automotive Group and saved Ford from having to be bailed out by the federal government like its cross-town rivals Chrysler and General Motors did. But as we reported mere days ago, he's widely expected to step down from the chief executive's office at Ford shortly.
So what's next for one of the most successful executives in the business? Hard to say, but don't expect Mulally to disappear into retirement. Though he didn't ultimately take the top job at Microsoft, industry insiders expect to see him in another influential position - likely as a board director or even chairman of another company. (We say "another company" and not Ford because while Bill Ford may have stepped aside as CEO to bring Mulally on board in the first place, we don't see him giving up his chairmanship of the board also.)
Mulally has likely already lined up his next move, and could either announce what that move will be as soon as Ford confirms Mark Fields as his successor, or could wait awhile. Insiders speculate that he could leverage his transportation and aerospace experience into a position at General Electric or a major airline, his manufacturing expertise to benefit a company like Procter & Gamble or his management skills at a consultancy firm.
