Provo, Utah, United States

You may have noticed the truck is relisted. This is because the other buyer was not able to work out everything as far as crossing the border/ customs to Canada. He thought about driving it back but had trouble completing the passport application process so we made a mutual decision to move on.
No trades. You can see walk around video at http://youtu.be/H4SnqGhzqVc Video for start-up, idle, and revs at : http://youtu.be/5SntTfVrYFM I bought this truck when it had about 7500 miles on it. It has never been wrecked. I am selling it only because of job commute and because of the snow here, I decided to just keep my AWD vehicle and sell this one. Only about 6000 miles since engine rebuild and there is NOTHING wrong with the motor at all. It is basically new. As you can see in pics, I took excellent care of it and did not drive it much at all except for short mileage commutes to work and the like which is why the mileage is so low. Always garage kept and only sat outside when I was at work and even then that was in the shade far away from other cars. When it arrives at your home, I think you'll freak at just how good the paint and body look. Truck got a few rock chips on the front edge of the hood but I touched those up with correct color code paint. Only noticeable when really close up to the truck.

This truck is in exceptional condition. Exhaust is designed to have the four primary tubes slip into collectors. The top inside primary does not seal very well so there is an exhaust leak that you can hear at start up and at certain rpms. It was tack welded but the weld broke so you could tack it again. If my plan were to keep the truck, I'd have probably just had the header welded together as a solid unit. This truck does not throw any check engine lights or codes. In my county, I could have two "not ready" codes. This truck will read "not ready" for the egr and the evap system when doing an obd II test. Both systems are intact and complete on the truck. They needed to adjusted on the tune so as to read "ready" but I never got around to it and it did not matter for my county. Again, no codes/check engine lights come up at all. It just reads not ready when you plug into the obdII port. So keep in mind that you will need to have a tune adjustment if your county/state allows only one not ready code. But then again, it is recommended that you dyno tune and adjust your tune anyway for your specific altitude to get the air/fuels right anyway. The truck usually starts up on the first turn of the key but about 1/4 of the time the engine might turn over for 2 or 3 extra seconds before starting . It was not a big deal so I never worried about it but that can be tuned out if you are extremely particular. I was told that adjusting the crank pulse width on the tune would solve that. Front tires have full tread on the outside but have some wear on the inside one to two inch area where it came out of alignment. I do not think you will have any problem on this and the safety guy passed me with no questions (and I did not even know him). Truck was, of course, re-aligned after I noticed it had come out back then. Then for good measure I aligned the truck again on June 26th 2014 before I posted the truck on eBay. The rear tires are down to the wear indicator bars though and will definitely need to be replaced when you have it inspected. I thought about replacing them but decided not to and to let the buyer decide what tires they wanted in the back (i.e. drag radials or street tires). Just know that they will have to be replaced. Currently the tires are Nitto 555's. This truck has no spare tire provisions. 4inch sail panel that covers the lock mechanism of the tailgate from the inside is not there, but that is covered up by the bed-rug. The cruise control button doesn't work. I'm sure it's probably just a switch and a simple fix but I never drove far enough to care. It does have the FoMoCo cruise control harness upgrade that the dealership installed though. Occasionally the digital odometer/tripometer display will go blank but it always comes back on after a few starts or randomly while driving if it does this. Brand new items include the rear brake pads, windshield, AEM wideband kit, and battery. I will help you find shipping options. I have a good friend who ships cars all the time and he knows some of the best places to look already. I will give you 5 shipping quotes that you can choose from to help out and they will ship from my garage to yours. Of course, buyer is covering the shipping but I will get you the best prices possible. Again, no trades. I am not interested in trades. Current mileage is 71,969 but it may be driven slightly. |

Former Ford president, Jaguar chairman Nick Scheele dead at 70
Sun, 20 Jul 2014We have the privilege here at Autoblog of reporting a lot of good news, but it is our duty as well to report the bad news and sad news as well. And this is one of those occasions as the automotive industry mourns the passing of one of its leaders.
Nick Scheele was born in the UK in 1944 and joined the Ford Motor Company upon graduating from the University of Durham in 1966, staying within the Blue Oval's portfolio for the entirety of his career. After moving to North America in 1978, he rose through the ranks to become president of Ford's Mexican operations in 1988. After acquiring Jaguar, Ford appointed Scheele as its chairman.
Scheele subsequently acted as chairman of all of Ford's European operations, making difficult decisions to take the division out of the red and into the black. He briefly headed up Ford's North American division before he was appointed in 2001 as president and chief operating officer of the global automaker, working under CEO Bill Ford following the departure of Jacques Nasser departure and retaining the role until his retirement in 2005.
Jay Leno drives postcard-perfect '32 Ford Highboy Roadster
Mon, 25 Aug 2014At the turn of the century, it was arguably the Honda Civic that best defined inexpensive performance tuning, and in the '50s it was the Tri-5 Chevys. One of the earliest platforms to gain a huge following among young people looking for a cheap way to go fast was the classic '32 Ford Highboy Roadster. This week, Jay Leno's Garage looks at one of the very first vehicles that defined the look of the hot rod heyday.
This '32 Ford was built in the '40s and graced the cover of the fourth issue of Hot Rod Magazine back in 1948. All of the hot rods that you see shining at car shows today owe a serious debt of gratitude to this roadster. It bears all of the cues that define the look, including a notched frame and hidden door hinges. Under the three-piece hood is a flathead V8 boasting all sorts of period modifications, including copper cylinder heads. It was seriously fast in its era too, and proved it by reaching 112.21 miles per hour on a dry lakebed in 1947.
These days, this hot rod is on display at the Petersen Automotive Museum. Although, if you can't make it to California to see it, the United States Postal Service is celebrating this Ford with one of its two hot rod Forever stamps. Like Jay says in the video, in terms of hot rodding, "it all comes back to this." Check out the video to learn more about this rolling piece of tuning history.
First retail 2015 Ford Mustang headed to Barrett-Jackson
Fri, 20 Dec 2013Want to be the very first person to own a 2015 Ford Mustang GT? Here's what you'll need to do: be in Scottsdale, AZ on January 18 for the Barrett-Jackson auction and bring a very big checkbook. Having a passion for charity isn't a bad idea either.
Yes, the first 2015 Mustang to be sold to the public will be crossing the block at Barrett-Jackson in Scottsdale, with proceeds from the auction going to JDRF, the charity formerly known as the Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation.
"Ford Mustangs have always been among the most popular collector cars at Barrett-Jackson Collector Car events," said the president of Barrett-Jackson, Steve Davis. "While every collector wishes they had snapped up the first Mustang sold in 1964, this is an opportunity to realize that dream in a different way."
