Customized Ford F350 Crew Cab Long Bed 4x4 with the legendary bullet-proof Powerstroke 7.3 Diesel with only 79,400
miles ! That's correct, a 7.3 with less than 80,000 miles! This is a rare customized Roll-A-Long vehicle with
custom Italian leather seats, custom rear bumper, custom front grill, custom fender flares, custom 3-tone paint,
custom mud flaps, custom overhead console, custom door kick plates and custom side steps. Original owner had this
truck in (dry desert) Las Vegas until July 2013. This vehicle has an Alpine touch screen stereo DVD system with the
GPS navigation module and it's wired for satellite radio (you only need to purchase a plug-and-play receiver).
Wood dash kit, power driver's seat, automatic transmission, 2" hitch receivers front and rear. This truck has
been set up to pull a fifth wheel trailer, it has fifth wheel rails, a custom fifth wheel overhead rack with
movable cross arms that allows you to carry cargo on the roof with your fifth wheel attached ( I have carried
bikes, kayaks and a storage pod on this rack while pulling my fifth wheel), has both a fifth wheel tail gate and
the original tail gate. Rear suspension has been beefed up with Torklift Stableload leaf spring pre-actuators and
Timbren suspension kit (heavy duty rubber springs similar to air bags but never leak or need maintenance), shock
absorbers upgraded to Mountain Ryder XT 's (only 9000 miles on them). Also has frame mounted Torklift camper tie
downs if you want to mount a camper instead. Sentinel electronic brake controller. Locking tool box with "gull
wing" side opening lids (no getting into the bed to access your things). The long bed was originally lined when
new with Rhino Linings spray-on liner so the bed is in excellent condition, I added a thick rubber bed pad.
Windshield was replaced last year (rock damage), four new door actuators this winter (one was broken, I had all
four replaced). Tire size upgraded to 285 / 75 R16 's. BF Goodrich All-Terrain T/A tires are three years old and
have only about 9000 miles on them. Non-smoking vehicle. Tow package and camper package, 3.73 limited slip axle,
day time running lights, engine block heater, power mirrors, 38 gallon fuel tank, sliding rear window. For
additional features see the picture of the original window stickers. This truck cost $46,410 when new in 1999 (not
including taxes, etc) , that's $66,975 in today's dollars (per dollartimes.com). This truck has been regularly
maintained using synthetic oil, maintenance records and owner's manuals are included. Two keys, owner's manuals,
maintenance records, clean title, pink slip (owner's certificate) in hand. Disclosure: clear coat on passenger
side shows some pealing, hood has some clear coat staining, paint and body have minor dings and scratches
commensurate with the truck's age, it looks great from 20 paces as you can see from pictures, but on close
examination you can see these cosmetic issues.

Car Stories: Owning the SHO station wagon that could've been
Fri, Oct 30 2015A little over a year ago, I bought what could be the most interesting car I will ever own. It was a 1987 Mercury Sable LS station wagon. Don't worry – there's much more to this story. I've always had a soft spot for wagons, and I still remember just how revolutionary the Ford Taurus and Mercury Sable were back in the mid-1980s. As a teenager, I fell especially hard for the 220-horsepower 1989 Ford Taurus SHO – so much so that I'd go on to own a dozen over the next 20 years. And like many other quirky enthusiasts, I always wondered what a SHO station wagon would be like. That changed last year when I bought the aforementioned Sable LS wagon, festooned with the high-revving DOHC 3.0-liter V6 engine and five-speed manual transmission from a 1989 Taurus SHO. In addition, the wagon had SHO front seats, a SHO center console, and the 140-mph instrument cluster with mileage that matched the engine. When I bought it, that number was just under 60,000 – barely broken in for the overachieving Yamaha-sourced mill. The engine and transmission weren't the only upgrades. It wore dual-piston PBR brakes with the choice Eibach/Tokico suspension combo in front. The rear featured SHO disc brakes with MOOG cargo coils and Tokico shocks, resulting in a wagon that handled ridiculously well while still retaining a decent level of comfort and five-door functionality. I could attack the local switchbacks while rowing gears to a 7,000-rpm soundtrack just as easily as loading up on lumber at the hardware store. Over time I added a front tower brace to stiffen things a bit as well as a bigger, 73-mm mass airflow sensor for better breathing, and I sourced some inexpensive 2004 Taurus 16-inch five-spoke wheels, refinished in gunmetal to match the two-tone white/gunmetal finish on the car. That, along with some minor paint and body work, had me winning trophies at every car show in town. And yet, what I loved most about the car wasn't its looks or performance, but rather its history. And here's where things also get a little philosophical, because I absolutely, positively love old used cars. Don't get me wrong – new cars are great. Designers can sculpt a timeless automotive shape, and engineers can construct systems and subsystems to create an exquisite chassis with superb handling and plenty of horsepower. But it's the age and mileage that turn machines into something more than the sum of their parts.
American automakers fall in latest Fortune 500 rankings
Fri, 10 May 2013Not that it means anything beyond bragging rights, but if you're fixated on the positions of domestic automakers on the annual Fortune 500 list, both General Motors and Ford are still on it but they've slipped a couple of notches. The list ranks American companies and they're ordered solely by revenue. GM, fifth last year, came in seventh, while Ford fell from ninth to tenth even though both companies saw small gains in annual revenue.
GM's $152.3 billion in revenue was less than a third of that of the first company on the list: Wal-Mart, which regained the title from Exxon Mobil. Berkshire Hathaway and Apple are the firms that moved GM down. Ford, displaced by energy company Valero, had $134.3 billion in revenue.
On a side note, profitability isn't a factor, but both GM and Ford were down in this year's list compared to last year's: GM declined from $9.2 billion to $6.2 billion, Ford fell from $20.2 billion to $5.6 billion. If profits were included, Exxon Mobil would probably still be king: although the energy company made almost $20 billion less in revenue than Wal-Mart's $469.2 billion, it posted $44.9 billion in profit compared to Wal-Mart's $17 billion.
