Super Nice Original 1978 F250 Ranger Long Bed 2 WD, 300 CID 6 cylinder, 4 speed manual. AM/FM, Power Steering.

Glass is perfect, no chips or cracks. Everything works on the truck just as it should.

I bought this truck from an estate. The daughter of the deceased owner stated it was the only new vehicle her father ever bought, the condition shows the care and attention he gave it. On the dash it has the original plate from Ford stating the truck was custom built for the owner. I have the original order form from the Spokane dealer he ordered it from and original owners manual. I don't think there has ever been a cigarette in the cab, the ash tray looks like it has that new dull galvanized finish, I took these photos the day I brought it home. 4 nearly new matching tires, they have about 1000 miles on them.

The fuel pump was leaking when I bought it so I took it to my shop, had them replace the fuel pump, make a minor adjustment to the clutch and generally look the truck over.

If you would like to have the truck inspected by any shop in the Moscow/Pullman area please make arrangement's with them and I will deliver it for inspection. Most shops in this area charge $70 - $85 an hour so it would not be expensive to get an unbiased opinion of the truck. I also welcome a personal visit to look the truck over. Please call me at 5O9 338-5397 to make arrangements.

It has always been a Pullman truck, no salt used here so other than two very minor spots on the right side displayed in the photos and a couple spots on the chrome bumper rear. I pulled the seat cover back in a couple of photos, other than some cracks in the side of the drivers side it looks like it has been covered since new. Floor mat had some cracks, has been repaired using some rubber or epoxy cement.

All in all a super nice 35 year old truck that will serve you well as a work truck or a collectible. These trucks are becoming more valuable every year.

It will come with a clear and clean Idaho Title in my name!

Please watch a Youtube Video of the truck at. http://youtu.be/ukAmxZViwZo   You may need to copy and paste the link.


Please ask questions if you have any. I want you to be 100% happy with any purchase, check my feedback!

$500 deposit within 24 hours of auction close by PayPal the balance before pickup by Cashiers Check, Wire Transfer or Personal Check (All Funds Must Clear Before Release Of Vehicle, may take 10 days) I will store for free up to 14 days after auction ends. $10 per day storage after 14 days.

Ford 1.0L takes third-straight International Engine of the Year award

Thu, 26 Jun 2014

Ford's 1.0-liter EcoBoost is proving to be The Little Engine That Could, and it continues to acquit itself well, finding favor as one of the best powerplants in the world. To confirm it yet again, the tiny mill just won the International Engine of the Year award for the third year in a row, likewise also nabbing the title in the Sub 1.0-liter category.
Packing 123 horsepower and 148 pound-feet of torque with overboost (125 lb-ft normally), the tiny engine combines impressive power in a size small enough to be a carry-on item for a commercial flight. US buyers only got a taste of the award winner in the 2014 Fiesta, while the 1.0 EcoBoost has been available throughout the Ford lineup in Europe for a few years now. American sales have reportedly been strong, however, and next up in the US, the mill will find its way into the 2015 Focus.
The panel of 82 jury members from 34 countries also named the Mercedes-AMG 2.0-liter turbo found in the A45, CLA45 and GLA45 AMG models with 355 hp and 332 lb-ft as the best New Engine for 2014. The electric powertrain from Tesla won Green Engine prize, and the 4.5-liter V8 from the Ferrari 458 Italia took home the honor of top Performance Engine yet again. You can check out all the winners below, and scroll down further to read Ford's celebratory announcement of its award.

Oprah at it again, gives car away on Jimmy Kimmel Live!

Sat, 17 Aug 2013

Oprah Winfrey loves giving away cars. Not only has she given Pontiac G6 sedans and Volkswagen Beetle retro-mobiles to everyone in the audience of her past show, but the other night on Jimmy Kimmel Live! she gave another car away to one lucky audience member, while yelling her now-famous line: "You get a car!"
Although the acting of Oprah and Jimmy Kimmel was obviously staged for this giveaway, the reaction from the woman in the audience was genuine shock as she found out that she had just won a new Ford Fusion Energi. Congrats!
Not to take away from what Oprah and Jimmy pulled off, but our cynical sides have to wonder if there isn't more than just a little coincidence that this giveaway took place on the same day that Ford announced a fuel economy reduction for the C-Max hybrid. You be the judge... Scroll down to watch the short clip from the episode.

Ford turns Navistar from truck business customer to rival

Mon, 19 May 2014

There is a showdown brewing in the medium-duty truck segment next year as Ford prepares to launch its all-new, in-house engineered 2016 F-650 and F-750. It finally marks the end of the Blue Diamond joint venture between Ford and Navistar and, making the two entities direct competitors instead of partners.
Ford announced the end of the joint venture in an investor report in 2011, but it didn't reveal the new F-650 and F-750 until the NTEA Work Truck Show in Indianapolis, IN, in March. Unlike the current, Mexican-built models, the new generation will be built in Avon Lake, OH, starting in mid-2015.
The challenge from Ford comes during a rough patch for Navistar. The company had a $248 million loss in the first quarter, according to The Wall Street Journal, and its medium-duty truck market share is currently down to 26 percent, from 36 percent in 2011. Building the previous-generation Fords brought in about $400 million a year to Navistar, according to the WSJ. To take on its former partner, Navistar plans to offer its International brand of medium-duty vehicles with more engine and transmission options to customers. It even struck a deal with Cummins to put its diesels in some of the models.
