Original owner, car was custom ordered and built.

I have all the original paperwork, includes: owners manual, bill sheet, window sticker, service record, prep center sheet, delivery checklist, vehicle PO and invoice, title app., key tags

I also have almost all service receipts that have been done on the car.  I am missing a few, but have most.  I have the following (other maintenance was done, this is just what I have receipt proof of):

                 General Maintenance Receipts - 98 (tires balanced & rotated), 99 (tires balanced & rotated), 00 (brake job, tires rotated), 01 (alignment, 2 new tires), 02                                                                      (other 2 new tires), 03 (brake job), 04 (tires balanced, flat repair, 2 new tires), 05 (other 2 new tires, registration), 06 (transmission                                                                        work, complete dealership tune up & servicing, tires rotated, engine check at dealership)

                 Inspection results - 99, 00, 02, 03, 04

                 Oil Changes (these were based on mileage) - 3/98, 5/98, 8/98, 10/98, 1/99, 3/99, 5/99, 8/99, 11/99, 3/00, 5/00, 10/00, 2/01, 4/01, 8/01, 9/01, 12/01, 6/02, 11/02, 4/03,                                                                                         10/03, 4/04, 10/04, 3/05

Recent Work (2013) - New battery, New fuel pump.

Work needed - turn signals are not working, also the door ajar sensor is messed up and registers that the door is always open, so the interior dome light stays on, which in turn                   runs the battery down.  So, to save the battery we have it disconnected right now.  These could be a minor issue, something as simple as messing with the fuses, just                not sure.  Will probably need some front end work, as it's making a little noise.  A/C needs servicing (might just need freon).  Will need tires (the ones on it have tread,                but the car has been sitting, so they are dry rotted).  We drive it around the yard when we move it, but wouldn't trust them on the road, it will need to be trailered even                though it runs.  Car has not been registered since 2005, title is clear.

I'm also listing car on Ebay Classifieds; if I get an offer there before the reserve is met here, I will be cancelling this auction.  Thanks!

Ford F-150 RaptorTrax is Ken Block's ultimate snowmobile

Tue, 21 Jan 2014

Even when Ken Block isn't starring in the latest Gymkhana video or tearing up Global RallyCross courses, he's finding new ways to redefine "awesome" as it applies to motorsports. For evidence of this, look no further than Block's latest Monster-badged creation, the Ford F-150 RaptorTrax.
Billed as the "world's fastest snowcat," the RaptorTrax started life as a Ford F-150 SVT Raptor, and then a set of Mattracks were put in place where the truck's bead-locked wheels and meaty rubber once resided. The goal was to create a truck that made it easier - and presumably more fun - for Block and his buddies to hit the slopes on their snowboards. Aside from the obvious track upgrades, this truck also received a Whipple supercharger, full roll cage, Recaro seats, an in-bed snowboard rack, a roof basket and a rear-mounted winch - you know, just in case something or someone actually manages to get this truck stuck.
The RaptorTrax will be on display later this week at the Winter X Games in Apsen, CO, but we'll have to wait until next winter for a full Block-worthy video of the truck. A full press release from Hoonigan Racing Division is posted below, and a high-res image can be found by clicking above.

2015 Ford F-150 named Truck of Texas, Lincoln and Jeep also awarded at Truck Rodeo

Tue, 14 Oct 2014

The Ford Motor Company has a lot of reasons to celebrate after winning eight categories in this year's Texas Auto Writers Association's annual Truck Rodeo. Most important among them, the Blue Oval's latest 2015 Ford F-150 earned the prestigious Truck of Texas award, ending the Ram 1500's two-year winning streak. The 2015 Lincoln MKC also grabbed the honor as the CUV of Texas, and Ford was named Truck Line of Texas.
FoMoCo even took trophies for best technology with its extensive use of aluminum on its latest F-Series and best commercial vehicle for the new Transit 250. It wasn't a total sweep, though, because the Jeep Grand Cherokee grabbed the title of the SUV of Texas for the fifth straight time.
This year's event put 60 auto writers in 75 pickups, SUVs and crossovers and challenged them to find the best in a plethora of categories. All of the winners are listed below, and scroll down to read the full announcements from the Texas Auto Writers Association and Ford.

Ford demonstrates Mustang's new Line Lock burnout feature

Tue, 22 Apr 2014

Been saving your pennies for a 2015 Ford Mustang? Put in a few extra shifts or some overtime? Got a great down payment ready? Well, however much you saved for your new pony car, start saving more - you'll need the extra money to spend on tires.
That's because the Mustang will come with a system called Line Lock, which can lock the front brakes electronically, allowing drivers to perform big, dumb, smoky burnouts without moving so much as an inch. It's sort of like launch control, only the average driver might actually use it.
Now, line locks aren't uncommon, particularly in drag racing. Usually, a flip of the switch locks the front brakes. The Mustang, besides offering the system from the factory which is unique in and of itself, looks a bit more involved.
