1985 F350 XLT show truck "Tonner"
I have owned this truck since 1997. I bought it
from my neighbor who was the second owner. That neighbor is now my
father-in-law so you could say this truck has been in my family for the past 25+
years! I used this truck to start my landscaping company and "retired" it in
2004. it was in 2005 when I decided to "fix it up" "keep it simple... a paint
job, new tires, fix the exhaust, and a tune-up" LMAO! My "simple fix-up"
turned into a full blown almost 2 year frame off restoration including, but not
limited to: New suspension, shocks, body mounts, rims, tires, engine, clutch,
exhaust, brakes, bed, interior, doors (with power windows and mirrors), hood,
grille, bumpers, body stripped to metal and repainted, electrical system, stereo
and back-up camera, etc etc etc. It would be a much shorter list to tell you
what wasn't replaced.
A VERY long story short after I finished the
truck there was NO WAY I was putting it back into the fleet for work. So what
I ended up with was a garage king. Since late 2006 the only thing this truck
has been used for is going to car shows and hauling home trophies. (YES, it won
every show it has been entered)
A true labor of love went into building this,
and it has taken me almost 3 years to finally admit I must sell it. My wife and
I had our first child in Nov 2009 and I don't have the time anymore to play with
my truck. I've only put maybe 15 miles on it since 2010 and that's just running
up the road to keep it loose. I uncover it and start it up every few months
just to hear that big block roar threw the true dual 3" pipes. Since 2006 it
has been garage kept under a cover.... until Feb 2014 when the building I kept
it in couldn't handle the weight of all the snow and ice this year and the roof
buckled. I got the truck out before anything could happen to it. Unfortunately
that was the only building I have with big enough doors to store this truck in
so now it is parked at my house, in my driveway, under a cover. I am not happy
about it so it really needs to find a new home ASAP.
Its like buying a brand new truck for a FRACTION
of the new truck price.... PLUS this "aint no cookie cutter, off the lot, just
like your neighbors truck"
In Sept 06 I had the truck appraised for
insurance reasons. I tagged it as a Classic in PA and wanted to be covered for
more then the KBB value of an 85 pick-up. It was appraised at $25,000. The
classic plate will go to the new owner if your from PA. With classic
registration you can insure it with the appraisal documentation for the $25k
full coverage no deducible for $143.00 a year like I do.
(I have State Farm) There are a few things I would still like to see
done to the truck but that is up to the next owner now. For example, I ordered
new carpets for it but they didn't lay right so I sent them back and reused the
original carpet. There is a slow drain on the electrical system and you need to
keep a trickle charger on it.
I have some clean "hard to find" parts and trim
that will go with the truck as back-up.
I have lots of documentation and a photo album of the
restoration. please feel free to CALL or TEXT me with any and all questions
61O-5O9-6583. I ASK
THAT YOU PLEASE BE SURE BEFORE YOU BID, PLEASE COME TAKE A LOOK BEFORE YOU BID,
AND PLEASE MAKE SURE YOUR WIFE AND BANK ACCOUNT SAY ITS ALRIGHT BEFORE YOU
BID.
The truck is located in Kutztown PA 19530. that's half way
between Reading and Allentown and about 45 mins north of Philly
If the reserve is not met I will offer the truck to the high
bidder... if we cannot strike a deal then I will relist. My point is Bid often
and stay on top!
YES it was appraised 8 years ago for $25k, YES it cost a lot
more to build then $25K NO my reserve is not $25K my loss your gain. |

Ford will keep Escape and MKC plant open an extra week to meet demand
Thu, Jun 8 2017Crossovers keep selling like popular pastries, and for Ford, that means it needs to keep production going. The company announced that, rather than the usual two-week shutdown, its Louisville, Ky., assembly plant will be open for one of those weeks. The plant builds the Ford Escape and Lincoln MKC, which Ford reports have had record sales. According to Ford, Escape sales through May are up 3 percent, and MKC sales are up 10 percent compared with last year. In total, the Escape has sold about 130,000 units through May, and the MKC has sold around 11,000. Keeping the Louisville plant open will allow the company to build an additional 8,500 vehicles. Ford stated that all other assembly plants will continue with the two-week shutdown as scheduled.

1994 McLaren F1 LM-Specification fetches $19.8M at Monterey
Mon, Aug 19 2019The botched sale of that World War II-era 1939 Porsche Type 64 may have somewhat overshadowed the RM Sotheby’s auction last weekend at Monterey, but the event wasnÂ’t without its highlights. Exhibit A: The one-of-two 1994 McLaren F1 LM-Specification supercar that we told you about a month ago netted a whopping $19.8 million at the RM SothebyÂ’s auction last weekend in Monterey, and an almost equally rare 1965 Ford GT40 Roadster Prototype also netted seven figures. The F1 is one of 106 examples ever built and one of just two in LM-Specification (the LM stands for “Le Mans”). McLaren upgraded the standard F1 at the factory post-production, adding a 680-horsepower GTR engine, an extra-high downforce coachwork kit highlighted by the massive rear wing, race-spec dampers, two more radiators and so forth. It also gained a more comfortable interior and creature comforts, with an upgraded air conditioning, radio, new headlights and a different steering wheel. Finally, the exterior was given a coat of silver paint, replacing the factory blue. Four bidders spent four-and-a-half minutes trying to outbid one another for the car, which eventually went to an unidentified American private collector. Also successfully auctioned on Friday: the 1965 Ford GT40 Roadster Prototype for $7.65 million, which fell right in line with expectations of between $7 million and $9 million. It helped pave the way for the Mark IV race cars that won the 24 Hours of Le Mans. As a reminder, it was the first of five GT40 Roadster Prototypes ever built, with seven hardtop versions also built, and it underwent a full restoration in 1983 and a mechanical overhaul in 2003. And it sure is pretty to look at.
