Condition

Drivetrain

Engine starts up and runs strong and smooth as you would expect. 4.0L V6 engine with automatic transmission and 4-wheel drive. Only 12k miles. No engine knocking, smoking, or dripping leaks. Shifts into and through all gears smoothly as it should. Has powerful acceleration and cruises at highway speed. Has been fleet serviced since new. Recent Service: new battery, all fluids have been changed. Extended Warranty covers drive train components only.

Exterior

Paint has all of its shine and glistens in the sun as you can see. This was a fleet/municipal vehicle and as such, does have some minor physical blemishes. There are nicks, chips, scratches, dings, and other minor blemishes in a few spots around the body. There is a scratch on the rear right side door and some scuffs on the front left side bumper edge. There is some paintwork on the doors and tailgate where decals were removed. Overall nice looking truck as you can see. Please keep in mind this is not new but still a nice low mileage specimen.

Interior

Interior is in very good condition with minimal wear. There may be a few tiny holes drilled in some of the console panels where electronics were mounted. Seats and floor are in like-new condition with no rips or significant wear. A/C blows cold. Radio and other devices work fine as they should. SRS light is on due to a faulty seat track sensor. The RSC light periodically comes on if starting up on uneven terrain. This pertains to the anti-roll feature that applies braking if you corner too hard. It doesn't affect performance of vehicle and has only come on a few times. No evidence or smoking or pets. Fresh and clean inside.

Wheels and Tires

· Tires have approximately 50%+ tread remaining. Full set of factory alloy rims.

I have test driven approximately 200 miles and assessed the overall condition of the vehicle to the best of my ability. Known defects have been noted, but there may be repairs required and additional defects beyond what is listed. Please keep in mind this is a salvage/rebuilt vehicle with previous flood damage history. As I recommend to all my customers, you should have your mechanic look over any newly purchased vehicle before extensive use. I have tried to list as many details about this vehicle as I can, including known defects. Please keep in mind this was a gov't vehicle and may have greater wear and tear than normal vehicle. There may be deficiencies that I am not aware of so buyers are encouraged to inspect in person. If you are local I encourage and welcome you to come down and check out the truck for yourself or have an independent inspection completed PRIOR to bidding. There will be no price adjustments or sale cancellations for failure to do so. IT IS THE BUYERS RESPONSIBILITY TO ASK QUESTIONS AND/OR INSPECT THE VEHICLE BEFORE BIDDING AND PURCHASE. FAILURE OF THE BUYER TO DO SO DOES NOT CONSTITUTE NON-DISCLOSURE OF DEFECTS ON THE SELLERS PART. I am happy to answer any questions so feel free to e-mail me or call.

These horribly misguided front-drive design studies nearly became the Mustang

Fri, 08 Nov 2013

As 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.

Fewest vehicles ever found eligible for Most American survey

Mon, 30 Jun 2014

Once again, the most American car on the market is from an American brand. The Ford F-150 retained its number one spot in Cars.com's annual survey of the most American vehicles, trumping the Toyota Camry, which remains at number two.
Ford taking the top spot is small consolation, though, as the Detroit Three aren't too well represented here. General Motors scored a win at number seven, with the Chevrolet Corvette, while Chrysler squeaked in at number ten, with the Dodge Viper. Outside of those three vehicles, Toyota and Honda dominate the top ten.
What's most remarkable, though, is that there were so few cars available for this year's list.

Ford nets $5.7B in 2012, $1.6B in fourth quarter

Tue, 29 Jan 2013

Ford brought in $5.7 billion in net income during 2012, which is around $307 million less than one year prior. Even so, the automaker closed out 2012 with the highest pre-tax profit for a single quarter in nearly 10 years, earning $1.7 billion in the fourth quarter thanks largely to a higher-than-average truck mix in the US. That's a jump of $577 million over 2011. Likewise, that translated into fourth quarter income of $1.6 billion. All told, Ford set a full-year pre-tax profit record in 2012. But that doesn't necessarily mean everything is rosy in the land of the Blue Oval.
Like every other manufacturer, 2012 saw Ford get hammered in the European Union, where a deep economic recession continues to drive down consumer confidence. The automaker lost more than $700 million in Europe, and saw full revenue of $26.6 billion in 2012. That's a decline of $7.2 billion compared to last yea. Ford says the market for new vehicles in Europe has contracted to 13.5 million units, the lowest number in 17 years. You can read the full press release below for more information.
