Daily driver condition, well maintained, drives and runs perfect.  Almost everything works perfectly, its easier to list the things that don't.  The backup light switch has got a problem, it shorts out the fuse when you put it in reverse and that fuse also controls the turn signals so the backup light switch has been disconnected for a couple of years.  I'm sure a junkyard would yield a replacement but I haven't bothered.  The transfer case indicator lights aren't working, it shows when you're in 4X4 mode but not the individual 4H, 4L lights.  They were working until I replaced the transfer case so I suspect the new case internal switch isn't quite right.  Odometer currently shows 4032 miles, clearly the real mileage is in excess of its mechanical limit.


Transmission was rebuilt approximately 50K miles ago, the aforementioned transfer case about the same time.  All of the suspension bushings have been replaced with urethane so everything articulates great.  Shocks are James Duff, about 40K on them.  Door handles shaved, two key fobs included that pop the doors, works perfectly and been very reliable, back lift gate still has key hole and handle.  Interior was redone a few years back in the original color scheme but in vinyl instead of the original cloth, carpet replaced at the same time.  Engine starts, runs great, gets about 20 MPG around town and out on the freeway, passes emissions inspection easily if needed (not anymore in Texas, its over 25 years old).  Front brake calipers replaced about 10K miles ago, radiator about 30K miles ago, e-brake cables about 40K miles ago.  Tires are getting close to the wear bars, if I were keeping it I'd be considering new pretty soon.  All the lenses, taillights, headlights, turn signal indicators were replaced so they are all in perfect condition.  Window glass is all in perfect condition, no chips anywhere.  I daily drove it for many years and maintained it as such, I wouldn't hesitate to do so again.

Weak spot is some rust.  Pictures show the worst spots, nothing structural.

Buyer MUST pick up the vehicle by June 10th or earlier.  I reserve the right to end the auction early.

The fascinating forgotten civil defense history of Mister Softee trucks

Mon, 26 Aug 2013

Hemmings came across an interesting article from the Throwin' Wrenches blog about the intersection of ice cream, cars and civic duty in America's late 1950s. In particular, it focuses on the Mister Softee trucks, which criss-crossed neighborhoods of the eastern US serving ice cream. Looking past the ultra-durable vehicles used - heavy-duty Ford-based chassis, for what it's worth - the article delves into some deeper national-security territory.
See, Mister Softee truck owners were voluntary members of the Civil Defense, thanks to all the useful stuff (potable water, generators, freezers and fridges) that the machines carried with them for serving ice cream. Click over to Throwin' Wrenches for the full run down of how Mister Softee would have stepped in to help fight if the Cold War ever turned a little hotter.

Ford recalls 1.9m cars and crossovers for defective airbags

Wed, Jun 1 2016

The Basics: Ford is recalling a total of 1,898,728 vehicles to replace defective Takata front passenger-side airbags. This includes the 2007-2010 Ford Edge, 2006-2011 Ford Fusion, 2005-2011 Ford Mustang, 2007-2011 Ford Ranger, 2007-2010 Lincoln MKX and 2006-2011 Lincoln MKZ, Zephyr and Mercury Milan vehicles built in North America. The Problem: The defective airbags have been linked to ruptures that can send metal fragments at the passenger, due to deteriorating propellant. Injuries/Deaths: Ford claims it's not aware of any injuries due to the problem, but rupturing Takata airbags have been linked to a series of serious injuries and deaths. The Fix: Dealers will replace the passenger-side frontal airbag at no charge to the customer. If you own one: Look out for a letter from the manufacturer to arrange service at your local dealer. If you'd like to check if your vehicle is affected, click on the safety recalls link on Ford.com and enter your VIN. Related Video:
