1988 Ford F-250 XLT Lariat.
**EDIT** I just looked at the Vehicle History Report and it clearly indicates that there are more miles than I thought. More fool me - I was basing the current mileage on what the previous owner told me. Sorry for any confusion. I am the third owner of this truck and Specs: 460 ci V8 engine with fuel injection 5 speed manual transmission Locking rear axle Twin fuel tanks Curt manufacturing class 3 receiver hitch Electric brake controller Fibergalss Service Box with three doors per side. Some doors have shelves, others have hooks. All six door's locks work and are commonly keyed. Box has 4 "D" rings in each corner for tying down large loads. Interior: Cloth bench seat in brown/tan. Behind the seat storage bins. Sliding rear window. Instrument cluster has full complement of gauges. Voltage gauge in cluster does not work; there is an 2 1/8" aftermarket voltage gauge added to the bottom of the dash. A/C components work, but there is a slow leak and would need to be recharged to get much out of it. Cassette player in original radio works - play your .mp3 device through the adapter. Exterior: Two-tone brown paint with some paint fade/peel on hood and roof. Passenger side door gently dented (could be pushed out) and left front fender has a crease above the turn signal. Some surface rust in the lower cab corners, but no holes. Large aftermarket mirrors bolt through the doors and those spots are rusty and need attention. Fiberglass box in good shape with no cracks. Won't rust! I miss that with my larger metal box van. Tires have plenty of life yet. Rims are non-sexy black steel (I swapped the alloys seen in the pictures over to my new van) Wipers are weak and need some attention. I've replaced the switch (that didn't fix it) and bought a wiper motor that I haven't installed yet. Headlights are a bit cloudy; I have a better set that will go with the truck. Exhaust system is a a little loud, but not so much that you'll get in trouble (in my experience). Truck starts and runs faithfully and is ready to help you earn some money or serve as your portable tool or toybox. Please arrange to view and drive this truck prior to bidding. I have described the truck honestly and will answer all questions the same way. More pictures available on request (please allow me 24 hours to respond). Shipping, if requested, to be arranged by purchaser. There is a possibility I could deliver the vehicle to within a few hundred miles of Southern WI - please contact me prior to bidding to discuss. |

Drive Ford's new Mustang in Need For Speed Rivals
Mon, 16 Dec 2013If waiting for the all-new 2015 Ford Mustang to hit dealerships is just too tall of an order, you'll be happy to hear that there is now an alternative means of getting behind the wheel of America's favorite pony car. The Mustang is making its video game debut in Need For Speed Rivals.
"We worked closely with the development team at EA to provide them with engineering data for the new Mustang, several months before we showed it to the rest of the world," said Ford product licensing manager Mark Bentley. "Computer design models enabled the game developers to create an accurate representation of the new Mustang before it goes on sale."
Players will have access to five unique designs for the Mustang, allowing a degree of individuality beyond solid colors and decals. According to Digital Marketing Manager Andrea Zuehlk of Ford, those designs are drawn from the four most popular designs on the Mustang Customizer, an online, mobile and tablet app that allows the public to design their own custom Mustang. A fifth design, penned by drift racer Vaughn Gittin, Jr., is also available.
Ford to build next F-150, outgoing model concurrently?
Wed, 24 Jul 2013Ford is rumored to be considering concurrent production for old and new F-150 models in a bid to minimize supply chain disruptions and inventory. Automotive News is reporting that the Blue Oval will build both the current F-150 and its replacement, which we showed you testing just last month, side by side for about half a year before switching over entirely to next-generation production.
As IHS Automotive analyst Mike Jackson told AN, "In order to ramp up, you have to retool...and that means you have to take capacity offline." Building both models alongside could allow Ford to cope with the still strong demand for the current F-150, while populating dealer supplies and working out supply chain kinks for the new model before making a full-time switch.
A loss of capacity when demand is so strong, even for a short period, could spell bad news for Ford, which nets an estimated 90 percent of its global profit on pickups and large SUVs. As AN states, Ford produces the F-150 in both Kansas City, Missouri and Dearborn, Michigan, which allows it to maintain some degree of flexibility in production. The new F-150 is expected to arrive at the 2014 North American International Auto Show as a 2015 model, with a design inspired by the Atlas Concept first shown at the Detroit Auto Show last January.
These horribly misguided front-drive design studies nearly became the Mustang
Fri, 08 Nov 2013As we eagerly await the unveiling of the all-new sixth-generation Mustang, Ford has been giving us some great information over the past few months showing what has gone into shaping its venerable pony car. As many changes as the Mustang has gone through in its 50 years, though, it appears the fourth-gen model played a decisive and pivotal role in the car's future.
As is part of Mustang lore, the front-wheel drive Ford Probe was originally developed as a next-generation Mustang in the Eighties before cooler heads prevailed. The Blue Oval has just released a handful of images showing how bad things could have been - including a full-scale clay model of a front-wheel-drive Mustang (shown above). Fortunately, the FWD Mustang plan was scrapped and Ford went to work designing a rear-wheel-drive replacement for the Fox Body Mustang, with three design studies making it far enough to become full-scale models. These include the soft "Bruce Jenner" Mustang, the over-the-top "Rambo" Mustang and the middle-ground "Arnold Schwarzenegger" Mustang, which finally became the basis for the 1994 'Stang.
By early 1991, the design language of the fourth-generation Mustang had been worked out, and the rest, they say, is history. Scroll down for the fascinating press release telling the story of the fourth-gen Mustang, and be sure to check out the gallery of horribly misguided sketches and various design studies that were all on the table in the late 1980s.
