There can only be one new owner of this totally functional solid driver at this bargain price.

Impressive "driver".  Starts & runs very nicely, no smoke or overheating.  Lots of power/pep.  Starts with key, original toggle "ON" switch, & push button.  Second gear works fine, but catches a little once in awhile. 

Old or patina is the paint description (age cracks that are not letting go; mostly tailgate: see tailgate picture). 

Mostly solid minimal rust original.  Exceptions are 12 volt system & later year flathead V8.  Has new glass pack mufflers which gives it a nice rod sound, but not too loud.  The wood rails added to the bed top is done very nicely.

Rust free frame & over-all body.  Some minor areas need attention.  All glass is new  (both door windows roll easy ).  Doors open/close flush & firm; no drops/rubbing or squeaks.  Bed wood & metal retainers are good.

The interior is great with gauges working.  Interior dome light added & works. The cab floor & firewall have complete Ford aftermarket repro insulation installed (under rubber mat also).  One sun visor (as originally was equipped).  Wiper does work, but 6 inches & slow.  Steering wheel horn button works & an added ahooga horn with a seperate button, works.  All lights & directionals work (four way also).  The added "spot lights" on the left & right of windshield do not work & are for nostalgic finness? I guess they could be wired to light & then add blackout/shade out flaps (many of these trucks did their World War two civil service civilian attack watch duty)?    

This had a long time owner.  Always garaged in his ownership.  Clear Florida title. 904-881-3495.

Old Bronco's are going for $20k+.  Here is a pre WWII, most popular year/style, more than just novalty.  Drive as is, or make it a $40k piece of art.  So far, I've had a local decent cash offer & an even trade offer of a 37 chevy coupe hot rodded ($34k asking on window for sale; rack/pinion steer;  A/C; custom interior; rear air hydraulic levelers, etc).  These offerees have seen & drove the truck. 

This listing has been set to auto assign relist at end of this listing if not sold; same terms/price.  An automatic "accept" price has been checked in the "make offer" options.  This means if met, you could win & own unless a different bidder outbids @ last minute.

2015 Ford Mustang spied on video for the first time

Thu, 20 Jun 2013

Not many cars will continue to hold our rapt attention quite like the upcoming redesigned 2015 Ford Mustang, codenamed S550 internally. Earlier this month, we brought you the first spy photos of a next-gen Mustang prototype out testing, and even though expertly placed cladding concealed the pony car's new shape, we could tell that underneath was hiding an altogether new form inspired by the Evos Concept from 2011.
Today we give you some video of what looks to be the same Mustang prototype, which you can watch below, and while the budding director behind the camera wasn't able to capture much in the way of the engine's audio signature, we can see the car in motion for the first time and compare its relative size and shape to the S197 Mustang GT that's on its tail.

Lincoln Aviator could make a comeback

Tue, Jun 9 2015

The idea of Lincoln dropping its alphanumeric scheme in favor of real names was welcomed by fans of the marque and even appeared possible after the rousing reception to the Continental concept. Now, rumors suggest that the next of the luxury brand's nameplates to see a possible revival just might be the Aviator. Don't get your hopes up quite yet, though. The Truth About Cars admits that this tip comes from a second-hand source, but the person reports that Lincoln has a project codenamed Aviator as a model based on the Explorer. There's evidence to give the rumor some shaky support, though. Ford already has the trademarks for the name and AV8R. Also, an Explorer-based vehicle in 2019 is included for the brand's predictions in the recent Car Wars forecast. Autoblog reached out to company spokesperson Sam Locricchio, but he would not speculate about future products. The same source claims to The Truth About Cars that the Blue Oval might not replace the Ford Flex or Lincoln MKT when the current generations come to an end. Also, the next-gen Expedition and Navigator could use 10-speed automatics and follow the F-150 to get aluminum bodies, which is also already rumored. Although, all of this should be taken with a big grain of salt until anything more official has arrived. Lincoln spokesperson Stephane Cesareo gave The Truth About Cars no comment on the rumor, but said, "By 2020, we expect to expand the segments that we participate in by adding two new nameplates to the Lincoln brand. We have not provided any indications about the products or their names." Related Video:

Ford calling in 28k Edge crossovers over fuel line leak

Thu, 16 Jan 2014

A problem with the fuel line on certain examples of the Ford Edge has prompted the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration to issue a recall. The issue revolves around the metal housing on the fuel line pulse damper, which was apparently improperly manufactured in the first place and is prone to crack in certain circumstances, leading to a fuel leak. And as we all know, a fuel leak is not a good thing.
The problem affects model year 2012 and 2013 Edge crossovers equipped with the 2.0-liter engine and manufactured between September 2, 2010 and April 25, 2013 - a total of 27,933 units. Although the Lincoln MKX is closely related to the Edge, since it isn't offered with the same engine (to which the problem is related), the recall does not include the premium-badged version. See the recall notice below for further details.
