With less than 64,000 original miles and an interior that is immaculate. Exterior is near perfect, all drivetrain is numbers matching and works like new. ZERO Rust with no body repairs and no known defects. Tires are probably original with some checking but have 4 brand new ones to include if reserve is met. You simply will not find another one out there this clean and original! A true antique vehicle in outstanding condition."

                              YOU WILL NOT FIND ANOTHER TRUCK OUT THERE LIKE THIS ONE!!!!!

                                                                 VINTAGE and CLASSIC ANTIQUE
 I know, everyone says that but this one is a true collector's dream! Starting with the fact it is completely original, down to the tires,  spotless, rust free and straight as an arrow. Drivetrain is also original and in perfect running order. The miles are correct, less than 64,000 and the truck has ALWAYS been garaged. The plastic instruction strips are still taped on the dash for the heater etc., just like the day it left the factory. There are a couple very small spots that the original paint has worn through but so minor you will be hard pressed to find them. 


 I bought this truck last year to tow my 1948 Woody wagon to shows but feel it is too nice to use for this purpose. Even though the truck, with it's heavy duty towing package and beefed up springs etc., is more than capable, I just feel it should go to a true collector to enjoy and possibly take back to pristine condition, which would not be too difficult to do given it's outstanding condition. I installed a trailer brake light switch that can easily be removed if you choose. I only towed 2 classic VW Beetles with it a short distance and it felt like nothing was behind me.

 I could go on and on and on about the condition of this truck but will simply say that outside of the AC possibly needing a charge there is absolutely NOTHING I would do to the truck. Everything works as it should with nothing needing any attention that I can see. I changed out the glow plugs and solenoid, so starting is a breeze. The tires are probably original so they are a bit checked but I have 4 brand new ones to go with it if reserve is met. There is a small area on the roof that seems to have had a small spot painted but matches nicely. (Size of a golf ball). Truck has every option available at the time of purchase; Power steering, brakes, windows, locks, cruise control, 4 wheel drive, automatic transmission, full bed liner, custom chrome on front, diamond place side steps, Air conditioning, am/fm stereo cassette, and probably something I am forgetting. Full bench seat that is not power is cloth and in perfect condition.

 The truck was purchased new by an elderly farmer who babied it immensely and sold it to his admiring neighbor who did the same. From what I can see, it was never used hard and the fantastic condition speaks to this fact. The former owner's son decided to paint the under carriage to show the truck but this again would be easy to return to normal or leave as it is, since it looks fine. I seriously have nothing else I can tell you about this great truck other than you will not believe the condition. The truck was NEVER used to plow or tow with other than my 2 little local moves. 

 Please contact me prior to bidding if you have less than 5 feedbacks because this is serious business and I have no time for games. Shipping is the responsibility of the buyer but I will assist in any way possible. I will also sell to our international friends but please have your shipping arrangements made prior to bidding as I will not hold the truck for an endless amount of time waiting for shipping. A reasonable time frame is fine but only after payment in full. Looking for a $500.00 deposit, (Pay Pal okay), full payment will have to be in real manner and not Wells Fargo type scams. Ebay now determines what forms are acceptable so please contact me with any payment questions and we will work it out as I am very easy to do business with. I do warn you that my mind reading skills are very poor, so ask questions as this auction is done with the intention of selling the truck and not playing around.

  Good Luck in Bidding on this 1 of a kind truck!!!  I will include pictures but if you have specific areas of concern let me know and I will try and take a picture for you. I have many more pictures.

 Naturally, due to the age of the truck, it is being sold as is with a clear Connecticut title and Bill of Sale. 

                                                    REMEMBER !!!!!!!!!!   63,000 ORIGINAL MILES!!!!!!!

Lincoln MKC recalled because start button located too close to touchscreen [UPDATE]

Wed, Dec 31 2014

UPDATE: Ford spokesperson Kelli Felker responded to our questions and let us know that the fix for the push-button start on the 2015 MKC has the switch moved to the top of the of the column of gear shift buttons instead of the bottom. Owners should be notified about both campaigns "toward the end of February." After massive campaigns from General Motors and to fix Takata airbag inflators, 2014 will undoubtedly go down as The Year Of The Recall. And with little time to spare, Ford is getting in just under the wire to adding two more to its yearly total. The larger of the campaigns is actually one of the most bizarre campaigns we've heard of all year. Lincoln is recalling 13,574 units of its 2015 MKC compact crossover in North America to move the location of the push-button ignition switch on the dashboard. According to the automaker's announcement: "Due to the switch's close proximity to other controls, occupants are inadvertently shutting off the engine while driving." The button is located near the bottom of the touchscreen, which can apparently make it possible to hit by mistake. Back when Autoblog first drove the new MKC in June, we came away very impressed, but noted: "... we're still not completely sold on the aforementioned pushbutton transmission selector ... it still seems somewhat gimmicky and it can't be operated by feel alone, as you might when shifting a traditional console-mounted lever from Park to Drive." According to Lincoln, there have been no reported accidents or injuries stemming from this button misapplication. Of the affected vehicles, there are 11,144 in the US, 2,033 in Canada and 397 in Mexico. To fix the problem, dealers are moving the button to a different location and reprogramming the powertrain control module. According to Automotive News, models built since September already have a different layout. The change was reportedly done to match the rest of the Lincoln lineup. The second recall covers 12,205 units of the 2014 Ford Escape (2015 model year pictured below) and 2015 Lincoln MKC in North America because of a problem with nickel plating on the fuel pump. The issue can cause the pump to seize, which can cause the crossovers not to start or stall while driving. The automaker is not aware of any accidents or injuries related to this fault. Dealers are replacing the fuel deliver module to fix the situation. Of the affected vehicles, there are 9,038 in the US, 3,074 in Canada and 93 in Mexico.

Shelby GT350 to be auctioned for charity at Barrett-Jackson in January

Fri, Dec 26 2014

If you just have to be the first person in the world to possess the latest Ford Shelby GT350 Mustang, then you need to be bidding during the Barrett-Jackson auction in Scottsdale, AZ, on January 17. That's because Ford is offering the chance to own the inaugural production example of its latest premiere pony car there. The buyer of the first GT350 gets to choose from any color and all of the available packages for their car. Although, the real highlight is probably being among the first to listen to the 5.2-liter V8 under the hood with its flat-plane crankshaft. Ford promises that the mill makes over 500 horsepower and more than 400 pound-feet of torque. To sweeten the deal even further, all of the proceeds of the sale go to the JDRF, a charity that funds type 1 diabetes research. There's no reserve on the auction for the GT350 but don't expect a bargain. Last year, the first 2015 'Stang raised $300,000 for the JDRF at the Barrett-Jackson sale, and the initial Chevrolet Camaro Z/28 brought in $650,000 for charity. You can read Ford's entire announcement about the event below. FORD MOTOR COMPANY TO SELL NEW SHELBY GT350 MUSTANG AT BARRETT-JACKSON SCOTTSDALE AUCTION TO BENEFIT JDRF First publicly available production unit of the all-new Shelby GT350® Mustang to be auctioned by Barrett-Jackson Scottsdale Auction, with all proceeds benefiting JDRF Winning bidder will be able to choose from available colors and packages for Shelby GT350 Ford-sponsored ride-and-drives during the auction will feature a full lineup of 2015 vehicles Ford Motor Company will commemorate the 50th anniversary of the legendary Shelby GT350 Mustang by auctioning the first production unit of the new-generation car available to the public for charity at Barrett-Jackson in Scottsdale, Arizona. All proceeds will benefit JDRF, the country's leading global organization funding type 1 diabetes research. Live coverage of the auction of the Shelby GT350 will air on Velocity on Saturday, Jan. 17, 2015. The winning bidder of lot No. 3008 – selling at No Reserve – will become owner of the coveted first retail production unit of Ford Shelby GT350, and choose from available Shelby GT350 colors and packages. In January 1964, Carroll Shelby and Ford Motor Company forever altered the automotive industry with the introduction of the GT350. It was offered through Ford dealers from 1965 through 1970.
