1997 Ford F-350, 4x4, Crew Cab, 7.3 Power Stroke Diesel, Auto Transmission. Great solid truck. Truck is a beast!
In 2008 I inherited a minivan. In 2010 it was obvious when we had a kid that we needed a 4x4 for our gravel, long, hilly, north facing, last driveway to melt in the county. Before kid we could always walk out of the snow. I was looking for a smaller half ton truck but someone wanted a minivan and he had this truck. The rest is history. Now we have two kids and face the reality the truck is too big for my wife and more then we need. Truck has not been stopped in the snow. Truck is almost entirely unmolested and stock. It has Superwinch manual hubs. Very good mechanically with following exceptions: AC is not cold (new problem have not researched problem possible freon), power windows are inconsistent, cruise control will cut off, driver's seat is torn. The truck had a front right quarter panel repaired due to accident. Back corner of bed has dent. Truck was well maintained before I purchased. The auto tranny was rebuilt and installed by Ford dealer in Woodstock, VA. Paperwork regarding specs for the tranny rebuild is incomplete. Just before I purchased it also received a new fuel filter and air filter. Mechanical since I bought the truck: Regular oil changes (Shell Rotella 15W-40) not listed in this list June 2010 179,617 flush rad pulled turbo apart and reseal repack front wheel bearings new front pads, rotors, hardware, front hub seals, caliper slides, and repacked bearings July 2010 179,966 New brake line along rail and brake fluid flush July 2010 front end alignment July 2011 183,567 Four new Dunlop tires stock size and alignment August 2012 187,976 new fuel filter flush radiator November 2012 188,538 new intermediate steering shaft November 2012 188,662 two new batteries July 2013 190,484 fuel filter IPR valve December 2013 192,584 Crank position sensor March 2014 193,546 fuel filter restriction switch neutral safety switch It will need an oil change soon and the AC needs attention (please see note above) This truck and generation of truck will go down as one of the top five or top three trucks ever produced by Ford. This generation Ford truck is up there with the 1956 Ford pickup and the 1970s Ford Highboys for legendary Ford trucks. The 1997 is the last year with this body style, has the legendary 7.3 Power Stroke Diesel, and is a crew cab. The F-250 and F-350 kept the existing body style for 1997. The F-150 had a major body style change in 1997. The F-250 and F-350 changed in 1998. Disclaimers - You are welcome and encouraged to see the truck in person. Cash or bank check only. No personal checks or pay pal. Truck is for sale locally and ebay auction might end. $500.00 deposit is required within three days. Truck has to be paid in full within seven days of sale. Short term storage is offered if truck is paid for in full. Please email me with any questions. We are going to miss this truck! Our two boys (age two and five) love it. Our oldest calls it Freight Train Buggy after the bluegrass song Freight Train Boogy. He loves trains and since it has a diesel engine like trains he loves it! It is obvious it is more truck then we need a half ton will do for us. I have owned numerous trucks and vans and this is without a doubt the strongest! Thanks for looking at the auction! |

Ford Recalls Nearly 435,000 Vehicles
Mon, Apr 7 2014Ford is recalling nearly 435,000 cars and SUVs to fix rusting frame parts or faulty seats. The biggest of the two recalls covers nearly 386,000 Ford Escapes from the 2001 through 2004 model years. Ford says the subframes can rust, allowing a control arm to separate and hamper steering control. Ford is aware of one crash but no injuries linked to the problem. The SUVs were originally sold or registered in 20 states and Washington, D.C., where salt is used to clear snow and ice from roads. Six Canadian provinces also are included. Dealers will install a reinforcement brace to fix the problem. The Escapes covered by the recall were built from Oct. 22, 1999 through Dec. 19, 2003 at the Kansas City Assembly plant, and from May 1, 2003 through Jan. 23, 2004 at the Ohio Assembly plant, Ford said in a statement issued Monday. They were originally sold or registered in Connecticut, Iowa, Minnesota, Ohio, Wisconsin, Delaware, Maine, Missouri, Pennsylvania, Maryland, New Hampshire, Rhode Island, Illinois, Massachusetts, New Jersey, Vermont, Indiana, Michigan, New York, West Virginia and Washington, D.C. Also covered are Escapes sold or registered in Ontario, Quebec, Prince Edward Island, New Brunswick, Nova Scotia, and Newfoundland & Labrador. The second recall covers 49,000 Ford Fusion, Lincoln MKZ, Ford Escape and C-MAX vehicles from 2013 and 2014. Dealers will replace seat back frames that weren't welded properly. No crashes or injuries have been reported from the problem, Ford said. Recalls Ford
Barrett-Jackson 2014: First production 2015 Ford Mustang earns $300k for JDRF [w/video]
Sat, 18 Jan 2014We've almost become immune to the huge dollar amounts that collectible cars earn for charity at Barrett-Jackson. To wit, $300,000 for the first production 2015 Ford Mustang initially didn't seem like very much money. In reality, though, it's probably about 10 times the actual asking price for the car, and we're pleased to report that 100 percent of the proceeds will go to the Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation.
According to Ford, the car's winning bidder will get to "choose a fastback with manual or automatic transmission, and any interior, exterior and stripe color combination offered by Ford on the all-new Mustang." Power will come from a slightly revised version of the well-known 5.0-liter V8 engine that will produce "more than 420hp and 396 pound-feet of torque."
We snapped live images of the 2015 Mustang prototype that Ford had on display here at Barrett-Jackson, and you can check them out above. The official auction description, along with a video of the auction as it happened live, is below.
Car companies used to cook up sales with recipe books
Fri, 08 Aug 2014The evolution of automotive marketing has undergone a number of strange phases. Few, though, match the strangeness of the 1930s to 1950s, when automotive marketers turned to cookbooks as a means of promoting their vehicles. Yes, cookbooks. We can't make this stuff up, folks.
This bizarre trend led to General Motors distributing cookbooks under the guise of its then-subsidiary Frigidaire. Ford, meanwhile, offered a compilation of recipes from Ford Credit Employees (shown above). The cookbook-craze wasn't limited to domestic manufacturers, though. As The Detroit News discovered, both Rolls-Royce and Volkswagen got in on the trend, although not until the 1970s.
The News has the full story on this strange bit of marketing. Head over and take a look.
