This is a real F11 (4x4) VIN.
This truck came from Nevada and it was used by a gentleman in the forestry division. I had two copies of the sticker duplicated if you collect trucks used in this field. The window sticker shown in the pictures is the original, as is the warranty card, owners manual, etc. I have many receipts from the original owner and have a huge stack of recent restoration receipts.
Short version of body restoration. I replaced left front cab corner and attaching structural torque plate. Right cab mount was good but repaired small hole. Both rear cab extension on bottom of cab rebuilt. The floor pans had no holes but were pitted, both replaced. Bed was removed to paint the rear of the cab. Bed was sand blasted and rotisserie painted. The highest grade enamel paint was used and the metal was sealed before painting. There is nearly three gallons of paint on this truck. You could still cut and buff to a mirror finish if you wanted. All cancer was replaced with new metal, no fiberglass or bondo to fill in the holes.
This truck was original wintergreen and is now. The truck came with the mirrors that is on it, a heavier rear suspension as stated on the window sticker (this makes it set up higher in the rear than normal). It also has power brakes.
I drove the truck with old tires to the body shop which is about 45 minutes away. This truck drives awesome at 70 to 80 mph on the interstate, there was no bumpy steering, no road walk, and with this suspension just a smooth solid ride. It does not bounce when you hit a bump, just rebounds correctly.
It has a full brake pedal and they work flawlessly. No pulling to the right or left, or suspension dip when applied. There are no annoying vibrations or rattles. Even the ashtray is still shiny on the inside, appears to have never had a cigarette in it. The factory radio works fine.
The motor has been upgraded from a 360 to a 390, the block is coded as 428. The motor has 185 psi static compression in each cylinder (within 5% tolerance). It has a new Edelbrock carburetor and new dual exhaust.
The tires are new Cooper Discover AT/3. The tires do not have even one mile on them. I took the wheels to have to have tires mounted and all the miles I put on the truck were on the tires that were on the truck when I bought it.
Most important: The doors, fenders, bed, grill, bumpers, all original. NOT AFTERMARKET!

Next Lincoln Navigator to drop V8 in favor of V6, but Ford Expedition might get both
Tue, 12 Mar 2013A great many buyers fled from full-size body-on-frame SUVs to car-based crossovers in large measure to save fuel. But that doesn't mean there's still not a buying audience for more traditional truck-based utility vehicles, and those consumers doubtlessly wouldn't mind saving some dollars at the pump, too. According to Motor Trend, those shoppers might be in luck.
That's because the magazine has confirmed that Ford isn't walking away from the full-size SUV segment, and it's poised to do something about its offerings' economy ratings, too. According to MT, global Lincoln director Matt VanDyke has hinted that the next Navigator may drop two cylinders and go with a V6 model - the current model gets just 14 miles per gallon in the city and 20 on the highway from its 5.4-liter V8. The obvious fitment would be Ford's 3.5-liter twin-turbo EcoBoost V6, an engine that has spread like kudzu throughout the rest of the Blue Oval's large vehicle lineup.
Downsized turbocharged engines like Ford's EcoBoost franchise have come under fire as of late for not delivering their EPA fuel economy ratings, but their benefits extend beyond consumption - the 3.5L offers superior power and a better torque curve than the naturally aspirated V8. MT also suggests that Ford's 3.7-liter V6 could form the base engine for the next Navi - it has similar horsepower but a lot less torque than the current 5.4L. That may be less of a problem with the next generation tipped to go on a diet, which could level the playing field somewhat.
Volvo to shake off Ford ties with new platforms, engines
Sat, 23 Feb 2013
It would seem Volvo is finally getting around to throwing all of Ford's things out of the apartment. Automotive News reports the Swedish automaker is preparing to unleash a range of new engines as well as a fresh platform designed entirely in house. The powerplants include an all-new four-cylinder engine set to bow before the end of this year before arriving in the US by 2014. Shortly thereafter, the world should get its first glimpse at the next-generation XC60, which will the company's first model to make use of the Volvo scalable platform architecture (SPA). US buyers can expect to see that machine on their roads by early 2015.
The next V70 and S80 will also use the SPA, though those models will carry V90 and S90 designations when they hit dealer floors. But that doesn't mean Volvo has completely weened itself off of Ford technology. The V40 will continue to ride on Ford bones until the model's next chassis can be co-developed between Volvo and Geely.
RWD Lincolns are coming, fate depends partly on MKZ success
Tue, 04 Dec 2012The product portfolio at Lincoln may seem a bit sparse at the moment, but if a report is to be believed, new products are on the way. TheDetroitBureau.com spoke with sources at Lincoln and Ford, who claimed the American premium brand is working on, perhaps more than one, rear-wheel-drive vehicle.
Lincoln would likely platform-share with the next-generation Ford Mustang to develop those RWD offerings in the early going. Moving forward, the report indicates that Lincoln could take the lead on other rear-drive projects in the future. As the RWD architecture continues to take shape, "most or all" of the front-wheel-drive portfolio will also be offered with all-wheel drive as an option, ala Audi.
But wait, there's more! The report also suggests that a replacement for the full-size MKS is on the way, as well as a new Navigator and a luxury crossover based on the current Ford Escape.
