1979 FORD F-250 XLT
Less than 82,000 original miles!
Great running 460 V8 w/ 4 barrel!
Drive home!
Here it is folks--the tough old pickup you've been looking for! This survivor Ford is in way above average condition. It's been on a farm for the last few years, and throughout its life it was mostly a summer vehicle. I believe it's only had 2 or 3 owners.
The Ford starts and runs great. It has a new fuel pump, new brake line, and 1 new tire. In the last year it received new exhaust and new brakes all around. It comes with a ladder rack that is easily removed.
About the worst of the rust is the cab corners and a little above the rear wheel wells. I believe the other rust spots are generally surface rust. The bed has a few very small rust holes, but nothing major. See the photos. The lower passenger side of the box is dented, as you can see in the photos. These dents would probably pop out fairly easily and the sheet metal is still strong in this spot. This truck received Ziebart rust proofing when new, and I think that is why it has survived as well as it has.
I believe all of the electrical except for the horn works. The AM/FM cassette radio works well! There currently is no trailer lights hook-up, but there is a 2" trailer hitch ball on the heavy duty ag bumper. This truck would be the ideal pulling vehicle!
This is a NO RESERVE auction. Please only bid if you have the money now and are ready to buy. Bidders with an eBay feedback rating of below 5 please contact me through the eBay Message System before bidding so that I can verify your good business intentions. Failure to do so may cause your bid to be cancelled. Please remember that you are bidding to own this truck; you are not bidding to come take a look at it to decide if you'd like to own a 34 year old pickup. This truck is not new, it is not perfect. But for what it is, I believe it is quite solid.
Enjoy the auction! People in the area are more than welcome to contact me for a test drive. The truck does come with a spare tire and rim. The front driver's side tire is new and the other 3 are older, but still seem decent enough (they're not all cracked up and weather checked). I wouldn't worry about driving it home.
This would be a great truck to restore, or just drive as is. Happy Motoring!
Enjoy the auction!

Couple items I forgot to note: The pickup is running off the front tank only. The switch was faulty that switches it from front to rear gas tank, so I just ran it off the front tank only. Gas guage works great. Also, the power steering pump leaks a bit. This is pretty common with this vintage truck from my experience. I just top off the power steering fluid once a month and it seems to be fine. Enjoy the auction!

2015 Ford Mustang production starts in Flat Rock
Thu, 28 Aug 2014Today's the day, Ford fans. Production has officially commenced on the sixth-generation 2015 Mustang at the company's Flat Rock, MI factory. As production ramps up, sales should kick off in the coming months.
The production news isn't just a bit deal for American fans. With the new Mustang getting a bespoke right-hand-drive variant, the pony car's worldwide availability has swollen to include 120 different countries, including its home nation.
"Mustang is and will continue to be an automotive icon," Joe Hinrichs, Ford's president of the Americas, said in a statement. "Expanding its availability globally affords our customers around the world the opportunity to have a true firsthand Mustang experience - one unlike any other."
Next Ford Raptor spotted wearing aluminum skin
Wed, 07 May 2014Well, look at what we have here. Judging from these spy shots, Ford is indeed working on the next generation of its off-road-ready F-150 Raptor pickup truck. We've made no attempt to hide our appreciation for the Baja-style truck, which combines most of the usability of a fullsize truck with heavy-duty suspension components to make a kind of performance vehicle that is unique in the market.
What we haven't known, until now, is whether Ford would push forward with its Raptor program now that it has a completely new F-150 to serve as its base. And that's especially true since Ford made the bold move of switching the bodywork of its best-seller from tried-and-true steel to aluminum. As you can see above, the front and rear of this silver truck are clad in current-gen Raptor bodywork, while the center section that houses the occupants appears to come from the upcoming 2015 F-150.
Dissecting the views above, we note a few interesting tidbits. First, there looks to be a bulge in the truck's hood. Second, we see a new grille between the current Raptor's headlights, sporting a mesh finish and two horizontal bars. Lastly, our eyes can't help but lock in on those burly A-arm suspension pieces down below, not to mention all that ground clearance the specialty suspenders bring to the table.
2014 Ford Transit Connect configurator fires up for the whole family
Mon, 18 Nov 2013The second-generation Ford Transit Connect is almost upon us, and to get work- and family-oriented customers ready for the new model, Ford has launched a configurator for both van and wagon versions. Both body styles will go on sale early next year with the base TC Van starting at $22,000, but customers wanting side windows and rear seats will have to pony up at least an extra $3,000 for the TC Wagon.
Ford is definitely looking to get back into the family van business with the 2014 TC Wagon offering three available trim levels, two engines and the choice between five- and seven-passenger seating (with two wheelbases). Like many recent Ford products, a fancy Titanium trim level is offered, and opting for it will cost you - this trim starts at $29,000, and we were able to spec it out with a panoramic roof, tow package and front and rear parking sensors for a little over $33,000.
Businesses looking for a small, fuel-efficient work vehicle now get more options on the TC Van like the choice of split, hinged rear doors or a liftgate (with or without glass), a long wheelbase ($1,000) and Ford's CrewChief vehicle tracking system ($925). Fully loaded, this van is still costs less than the fullsize E-Series. On both Van and Wagon, the 1.6-liter EcoBoost engine is a $795 option, but it is only offered on short-wheelbase models and Ford has yet to release power or fuel economy specs yet. With the standard 2.5-liter engine, the TC will get up to 21 miles per gallon in the city and 29 mpg on the highway.
