My husband and I have owned this truck for 2 years now. We bought it in Seattle with a rebuilt v8 390 engine, c6 transmission (50,500 miles on it) and dual exhaust. The
body is straight and it's got a clean title. We've driven it < 1000
miles since we've owned it(most of that was our move to Portland). We've put a few thousand dollars of work
into it since then (~$4500, all mechanical, all done by
professionals). We focused on getting the innards running great, and then we were going to move on to the exterior. Most of the documentation for this work is
available. We:
- replaced radiator
- added electric choke (two pumps of the accelerator and it turns on.)
- rewired dash (to fix coolant gauge and speedometer)
- fixed low idle vacuum and timing issues.
- fixed transmission kick down linkage so its super speedy at passing
- replaced carburator
- replaced distributor
- replaced breaks (shoes and cylinders)
- fixed fan clutch which was stealing horsepower from the engine
- transmission flush
- replaced rag joint
Things that still need attention:
- the Exterior. Its a straight body. It will need attention before it will be a head
turner. Some surface rust. The previous owner bondo'ed it as well. We unfortunately didn't do enough research to see the extent of it until we were getting estimates on paint jobs.
- steering column bearing needs to be replaced. We were going to put
power steering in it, so we deferred the work. The rag joint tore and was fixed, but this apparently didn't fix the steering issues.
- odometer is now not working (just realized this looking at old
paperwork. :-/)
The car is registered in Oregon as a Special Interest Vehicle, which
means you don't have to pay insurance on it. We wanted this to be a truck handed down to our kids. We've reconciled this with the reality of not having a place to work on it and our desire to move around more.
We are EXTREMELY motivated to sell this truck. We're moving and it needs a new home too.
The car is parked near the corner of 19th and NE Schuyler. Come by, kick
the tires. If you like it and want to take it for a test drive, call
803.553.5801 or 803.221.2672 to setup an appointment. Serious offers
only, please. If you think you have a better price and it's reasonable, tell us why and we'll reconsider. Thanks!

Ford F-150 bumps Camry from top of Cars.com American Made Index
Tue, 25 Jun 2013With July 4th just around the corner, what better time could there be for Cars.com to announce that the Ford F-150 is the Most American car of 2013? This may be especially true since it was the Toyota Camry, a car produced by a company based in Japan, that had held the top spot from 2009 to 2012.
Cars.com compiles its Most American list by considering the amount of parts each vehicle uses that come from America, where it's final assembly takes place and how many units per year are sold. "While the assembly point and domestic parts content of the F-150 didn't change from 2012-2013, vehicle sales are responsible for bumping the F-150 to the top spot," according to Patrick Olsen, Editor-in-Chief of Cars.com.
As far as automakers go (as opposed to individual models), Toyota retains the top spot it held in 2012, with General Motors, Chrysler, Ford and Honda (in that order) rounding out the list. The motivation behind this list each year, according to Olsen, is "to help car shoppers understand that 'American-Made' extends beyond just the Detroit three" and because "a study we conducted in 2012 indicated that 25 percent of shoppers surveyed preferred to buy American."
New car market raining on convertibles' parade
Mon, 08 Jul 2013Whether fitted with soft or hard folding lids, today's droptops are better than ever for year-round motoring. Advancements in power top mechanisms, sealing, aerodynamics, structural rigidity, rollover safety and creature comforts like heated and cooled seats mean that modern convertibles are more versatile and better to drive than ever before. Yet the segment's sales took a dive during the recession and haven't come back, Automotive News reports.
Part of that is because automakers are looking at today's more sensible buyers and simply not developing as many new models, and that lack of fresh iron is curbing sales. AN cites R.L. Polk data which notes that only about one percent of new vehicles registered in the US last year had tops that folded. Back in 2009, it was 1.4 percent, and it was 2 percent in 2006. All-in, some 151,636 convertibles were registered in 2012. That's more units more than were registered in each of the past three years, but the market has also grown as the economy has picked up speed, and as a percentage of new vehicles purchased, convertible sales are lagging.
Thus far in 2013, the Ford Mustang is America's top-selling convertible, with 6,421 units registered through the end of April, followed by its rival, the Chevrolet Camaro, at 4,751 units. The Volkswagen Beetle isn't far behind, with 4,305, but from that point, it's a steep drop off to the fourth-place Mercedes-Benz SL-Class and its 2,380 sales.

Just last week, Saleen revealed initial details of its tuning program for the new Ford Mustang. And now Roush is following suit.
Available in three stages - based on the V6 (RS), EcoBoost (RS1) and V8 (RS2) models - the 2015 Roush Mustangs all feature the venerable Ford tuner's latest R7 aero kit complete with remodeled fascia, five-blade grille, gaping air dam with integrated driving lamps and splitter. Around back there's a one-piece deck spoiler and "race-inspired lower aero-valance."
