I love this truck. It was a gift from my wife for my 70th birthday. It always starts right up and runs great. Cruises right along just fine even at 70mph. Drives straight down the road and stops straight. Power steering conversion kit. Power disk brake kit, disk in front and drum in rear. It is an older restoration with some modifications. Reverse chrome rims (I love the look of chrome reverse rims) with baby moons. Original gas gauge and speedometer/odometer work. Mileage shows 74,139 and that is probably very close for the chassis/body but the engine is not original-its' a 351 Cleveland but I don't know what year. Supplemental oil, temp and amp gauges work. Turn signals work although sometimes when you turn left it doesn't automatically cancel. Windshield wipers work fine. Headlights and tail lights work. Tilt wheel. Interior is very tastefully finished with gray/maroon vinyl that looks like leather.
The 351C Ford engine has been rebuilt and increased to 400 with a C6 transmission that shifts very smoothly. Running boards are new fiberglass. Gas tank is also new. Rear end is Dodge 8&3/4 inch limited slip. Bed floor is oak with metal strips and although the oak looks good in the pics, in my opinion the oak needs to be refinished. The bed on this truck is not the original as you can see in the pics. I don't know if it is a reproduction or from another kind of truck. You can see that the top of the sides is flat rather than slanted. I like it this way but have never seen another of this vintage with this "feature". Has a B&M shifter. Glass is all good and looks new to me with tint on sides and back window. Dual exhaust sounds really nice. The paint job is quite old (not sure when it was painted) and has some scratches, nicks, chips, cracks but looks really good from a few feet away. I'm embarrassed to say that the color is a Chrysler color. It shines up really well.
Instead of chains on the tailgate, I put nylon ropes because I didn't want the metal chains banging against the gate. Has a Sony radio with cassette player (nothing special) and seems to work OK but I can't figure out how to set the time on the display. There is a picture of it but I have to tell you that there is a screw through the roof. You can't see it till you get in the bed and look down on it or unless you are seven feet tall. I didn't find this till I had owned it for about six months. I have no idea why it's there. I'm trying to think of something else to say but can't. Email me with questions. I don't have anything to hide.
As with all cars/trucks sold on ebay, there is no warrantee/guarantee, etc. I believe the terminology is "as is/where is". I have tried to give you a truthful and detailed description of this truck but please don't hesitate to email me with questions. Or come and take a look and drive it. Buyer is of course responsible for shipping or pickup. I need a non-refundable $1000 deposit within 48 hours via paypal and then the rest in certified cashiers bank check or cash in the next five days. Unlike all the dealers seem to be doing these days, I am not going to charge you a "doc" fee.
Now for the problem.................... Why am I selling this truck if I like it so much???????????It's my wife (the little sweetheart). She hasn't bought into the concept of a collection and won't let me have more than one classic car/truck at a time (bummer) and I have my eye on a Ranchero. And, she won't let me buy it till I have this one sold even if I promise to sell it right after the new one arrives. Double bummer....................... |

Editors' Picks March 2021 | Ford Mustang Mach-E, Polestar 2, Land Rover Defender and more
Thu, Apr 8 2021The month of March was unofficial minivan month here at Autoblog. We drove all of them but the Kia Carnival, but don’t worry, you wonÂ’t have to wait much longer to read that review. Among all the family-toting machines, we drove some more exciting vehicles including the Land Rover Defender and a pair of up-and-coming EVs. It was a month of excellent cars, meaning that this monthÂ’s litter of EditorsÂ’ Picks is stacked. In case you missed FebruaryÂ’s picks, hereÂ’s a quick refresher on whatÂ’s going on here. We rate all the new cars we drive with a 1-10 score. Cars that are exemplary or stand out in their respective segments get EditorsÂ’ Pick status. Those are the ones weÂ’d recommend to our friends, family and anybody whoÂ’s curious and asks the question. The list that youÂ’ll find below consists of every car we rated in March that earned the honor of being an EditorsÂ’ Pick. 2021 Ford Bronco Sport 2021 Ford Bronco Sport First Edition View 32 Photos Quick take: Ford's baby Bronco is an authentic foil to the big Bronco 2-Door and 4-Door. It brings rugged styling, better-than-average off-road capability and thoughtful utility features to a generic segment of cars. Score: 8 What it competes with: Jeep Compass, Jeep Cherokee, Mazda CX-30, Subaru Crosstrek, Kia Seltos, Chevrolet Trailblazer Pros: Stellar design, excellent off-road, clever interior details throughout Cons: Pricier than most, average transmission, underwhelming interior quality and ambiance in lowest trims From the editors: Road Test Editor Zac Palmer — “I genuinely enjoy driving this cute crossover. It feels like a mini truck on the road, and Ford admirably translated the design from its big Bronco over to this Escape-based crossover. News Editor Joel Stocksdale — "The Bronco Sport isn't perfect, the transmission could use some work, and it's a little bumpy, but it's a characterful little thing with loads of style, great visibility and space, and impressive capabilities on and off road in the powerful Badlands form." In-depth analysis: 2021 Ford Bronco Sport Review | Bronco for the masses  2021 Land Rover Defender 2021 Land Rover Defender 110 View 64 Photos Quick take: The Land Rover Defender provides everything you'd hope for in a modern Land Rover: superlative off-road capability, surprisingly plush on-road demeanor, abundant interior space and abundant character. The base four-cylinder is likely all you'll need and lower trim levels provide more than enough equipment.
Ford F-150 Raptor gets EcoBoost V6, new chassis and aluminum body [w/videos]
Mon, Jan 12 2015The Autoblog staff universally loves the Ford F-150 SVT Raptor, and the truck's about to get even better. Coming in the fall of 2016 (we'd assume as a 2017 model), the next off-road-ready pickup from Ford will boast an all-new, purpose-built, high-strength steel frame and a lightweight aluminum body that saves more than 500 pounds when compared to the current Raptor. It's six inches wider overall than the regular 2015 F-150, which both makes it look awfully mean but also aids in stability when driving fast off the road, and new LED lighting elements make it stand out when the sun goes dim. Under the Raptor's muscular hood will be a 3.5-liter EcoBoost V6 engine that will make more than the current 6.2-liter V8's 411 horsepower and 434 pound-feet of torque, though we don't have exact power figures for the next-gen Raptor quite yet. Also new will be a 10-speed automatic transmission, which will replace the current six-speed unit and ought to provide appropriate ratios for both rock crawling and high-speed desert trail running. Speaking of high-speed running, what makes the Raptor tick, perhaps more than any other single component, are its custom-designed suspension bits. Redesigned, larger Fox Racing Shocks with more suspension travel and all-new terrain management technology, combined with BFGoodrich All-Terrain KO2 tires, are the bits and pieces that allow for Baja-style off-roading. View 14 Photos The four-wheel-drive system in the next-gen Raptor will include a Terrain Management with settings for Normal driving, Street driving, Weather mode (for rain, snow or ice), Mud and Sand, Baja mode and Rock mode. According to Ford, the Raptor's new transfer case is designed to work as both a locking unit for crawling and a full-time unit for other off-road applications. A Torsen front differential will be optional. Basically, if all of this new stuff turns out to be as good in practice as it sounds in a press release, the next F-150 Raptor will only serve to separate Ford's off-road pickup even further from its half-hearted competitors. Feel free to watch the video and read more down below.
Jaguar design boss admits X-Type was a mistake
Thu, 19 Sep 2013History has a way of repeating itself, especially in the auto industry. When Jaguar was owned by Ford, the British brand attempted to field a competitor for the BMW 3 Series, called the X-Type. Based on the bones of a Ford Mondeo, it aped the styling of Jaguar's flagship model, the XJ, while borrowing liberally from the Ford parts bin. That was 2001.
Now, in 2013, Jaguar is planning a new 3 Series challenger based on the platform previewed by the C-X17 Concept, while Ford is attempting to take the latest Mondeo upmarket. The moves have both brands recognizing where, why, and how the X-Type failed. "It didn't look mature or powerful or anything. It was just a car," Jaguar's current head of advanced design, Julian Thomson, told PistonHeads. Basing the X-Type on a front-drive car while giving it styling that was meant for a rear-driver lead to proportions that "were plainly wrong," Thomson told PH. Ford's European head of quality, Gunnar Herrmann, added that the X-Type was "a fake Jaguar, because every piece I touch is Ford."
For what it's worth, the X-Type's successor in the segment will sport rear-drive, with plenty of input from Ian Callum. Thomson described the new model, which would challenge the 3 Series as having, "Big wheels right to the ends of the car, low bonnet, short overhangs, very low cabins." Sounds good to us.
