Vehicle Detail
WE LOVE OUR CLASSIC DIESELS HERE!!! We used to know we were the number one seller of older diesel trucks on eBay. But, truth be told, these trucks are getting so hard to find that we’re down to listing only a few a year. We used to list one or more a month but this is the first one we’ve gotten since June. But this one is a beauty! What we have here is a 1991 Ford F350 XLT Lariat 2WD Crew Cab Dually Diesel. This classic Beast being offered here: HAS THE CLASSIC 7.3 POWERSTROKE DIESEL! AND A BANKS SIDEWINDER TURBO, BANKS RAM AIR, AND A 4-INCH EXHAUST SYSTEM! HAS THE HUGE AUX FUEL TANK IN THE BED! HAS A VERY SOLID BODY AND INTERIOR! RUNS AND DRIVES GREAT AND IS READY TO TOW ANYTHING ANYWHERE!! AND COMES WITH OUR 100% MONEY BACK WARRANTY! And, to make this auction interesting, we are putting this Big Dually Diesel up here in a NO RESERVE AUCTION!!! NO RESERVE means just that. We pride ourselves in honest auctions and ALWAYS start our bidding at ONE PENNY! Classic Powerstroke Diesels in this kind of condition aren’t easy to find and interest an awful lot of people! This 1991 F350 is one of those rare auctions that don’t have an untouchable reserve or stratospheric buy it now price. Any bid you make might be the last one. So please be extra serious when bidding. You bidders are going to set the price in this auction, not us! And, to make this a very safe bet for you, you have 50 miles to drive it. If you can honestly show it has been misrepresented, we’ll happily refund you your money! Recently we’ve had to start requiring that our bidders have a Paypal account to bid. We’ve regretfully had to do this because of the sharp increase in deadbeat, non-paying, bidders since eBay has changed their feedback policy. We still ask that zero feedback bidders and bidders with no recent account activity contact us before bidding. If you don’t have a Paypal account and wish to bid, please contact us so we can add you to our bidding exemption list. PLEASE take the time to read the whole description and the Terms section after it. 95% of the questions we get on our vehicles can be answered by simply reading the description and studying the pictures we include. We get very worried when we see that bidders aren’t reading our descriptions because it makes us wonder what other important details they've missed. VERY few dealers take the time we do to give complete descriptions simply so that our bidders can make educated decisions and not be surprised when they pick up their new cars. Work with us here and at least read what we’ve written. duramax isuzu Silverado fuso superduty super duty bio-diesel veggie grease car greasecar f250 f350 2500 3500 C1500 C2500 C3500 K3500 K1500 K2500 Cummins extended cab lariat power stroke powerstroke 6.5 6.2 international ram We’re one of eBay’s top sellers of older cars and trucks. Normally we specialize in older Mercedes Diesels and Diesel trucks, Geo Metros, and classic Volvo 240s. Basically we like listing the interesting cars people like as opposed to the cars people are forced to drive. One thing about our auctions is that we’re one of the very rare dealers that lists everything we have in true no reserve auctions where the bidding starts at one penny! Other sellers hate us because they look foolish with their astronomical buy it now pricing but our buyers love us because we let them set the final selling prices! As you have already seen this is one very sweet F350 Diesel considering it is almost 22 years old! These early Powerstroke Tow Haulers pretty much set the standard in the industry. What surprised people and was proved over time was just how long these trucks would last and that, while the newer ones got more power and bells and whistles, the older models would still be viable workhorses 20 years down the road. And, being an older 1991, the maintenance and replacement parts are both easy and cheap especially compared to ANYTHING even ten years newer. That is primarily why these older Powerstrokes are in such high demand. Whenever we auction one we always get offers to trade late model gas and diesels for them. We know the primary reason people what to trade down in years is maintenance costs and the better fuel economy the older trucks get. These big long wheel base Diesels are extraordinarily comfortable on the road and return excellent fuel economy for their size! The exterior of this F350 is in excellent condition! We only wish we had the time to go over the body and repaint it because that would have made all the difference. We’re pretty sure this truck was already repainted several years back as it is. The maroon paint looks like maroon does after many years. It’s showing all the normal fade anyone would expect. Beyond that and all the normal little nicks, dings, and scratches this F350 is a real winner. It has obviously been well taken care of and not abused. We always like to show some closer in pictures of our trucks so you can get in idea of just how nice they are. There is nothing but good to see on this F350! Look at how nice those fiberglass dually fenders have held up! The extra running boards are looking good and the bumpers have only a little rust showing that is starting under the chrome. Beyond the paint fade and scratches we already mentioned this truck is solid as a rock! Here is the bed. You can see it has been reinforced for a gooseneck towing set up though we didn’t get that receiver with the truck. You can also see the aux fuel tank in the front of the bed. These are RARE to see. They are a very expensive accessory but well worth the money if you drive all day. We’re not sure exactly how many gallons it holds but we’re guessing an extra 60-80. With the 40 gallons in the truck itself you’re carrying easily 100 gallons of fuel. The aux tank also makes it very easy to refuel diesel equipment on a job site. Making life even easier is the custom tailgate designed to work with a gooseneck trailer. Most of these trucks we see will just have the tailgate removed. This one works better and is louvered to increase fuel economy when it is closed but still to be functional. They aren’t cheap and it is sure nice to see here! Here you can see how nice the rims are and what the tread is like on the tires. The front tries are sort of marginal and the rears are looking very good. We’re not into hiding anything so here you can see the condition of the underbody! You can also see the Class C towing receiver and the electric brake outlet. And don’t forget to admire the big four-inch exhaust! While I didn’t get to drive this F350 very much beyond putting it through its paces and letting the torque from the Banks Sidewinder Turbo pull my eyeballs back into my head, we don’t see any reasons why this truck would make a long trip easily. That was what they were made to do all day long 20 years ago and they are just as good at it today. We’ll show this beauty off and let it speak to you itself! Everything about this ’91 One Ton Dually Diesel screams quality, pure class and heavy duty longevity! It’s nice to see them in this kind of condition AND also in a NO RESERVE auction! Here’s your chance to own one that’s been set up correctly! For a 22 year old truck interior we were very happy! The seats are in excellent condition showing only normal fade and wear on the cloth. There is very little abnormal wear showing. This is really a beautifully kept interior for its age! The inner door panels are looking just as great! The dash area is in pretty darn good condition for a 22-year old Tow Hauler! Normally we see this area pretty beaten to crap but not here! The dash itself is not cracked or all warped like we usually see. The only sort of ugly thing in it is the add on center console that holds the CB radio (remember those?), cup holders, the fuel gauge for the rear aux tank and the two extra Banks gauges (Boost and Exhaust manifold temp). Not the prettiest thing in the world but very useful nonetheless. The truck does have a higher end digital CD player which is nice. All the power windows are working. These older Fords have power front windows and manual rears. The cruise control works (Yay!)! The climate control system is working fine and the AC is pumping out lots of cold air. The switch for the main fuel tanks is working fine as is the overdrive lockout. All the exterior lights are working except for two little roof lights burned out. Of course there is the electric brake hookup for towing on the bottom of the dash. We are missing the owner’s manuals and the leather covering on the steering wheels is missing in a few places. The only trouble light that is showing is the rear antilock brake light. We were told this was a simple sensor. We’re pleased as punch seeing only 181K miles on this truck. Most people know that miles are less important than overall condition. These powertrains will last forever with only simple maintenance. This is a very nice interior considering it’s age and the mileage on the car! The big Diesels like this normally get hard use from their owners and it is very RARE to find an interior that isn’t completely torn up! Under the hood is the famous Ford 7.3-liter Powerstroke V8 Diesel engine. The 7.3 set the standard in the industry for big American Diesels. Most people in the know like the earlier ones like this more because they weren’t all junked up with computers and unneeded sensors. It starts and runs great with no leaking or smoking! This engine is reliable and very inexpensive to maintain! It gives great torque and is still rated to return excellent fuel economy even by today’s standards! You can see how clean everything is! The automatic transmission with overdrive is pulling and shifting fine. Being set up for heavy duty towing from the factory the shift points are higher than on the lighter duty trunks and the gears change with less slip. All the money was put into the right places on this Ford. The Banks Sidewinder Turbo is a beauty and makes a HUGE difference in the power available! These turbos are not cheap by any means and only serious people put out the money for them. The same thing goes for the Banks Ram Air system. Smart people know a hotter turbo is worthless without the right volume of air given to it. This system, coupled with the big 4-inch exhaust system, adds probably about 60-70 horsepower to the truck making it easily the power equivalent of a much later version 7.3 Powerstroke. We didn’t receive maintenance records for this truck but, judging from how it runs and the large amount of money put into it in smart additions, we firmly believe it is in excellent mechanical condition. People simply do not put all the money into their trucks and then use them for businesses and also ignore regular maintenance. ‘Nuff said. And here is the VIN plate just so everyone can do their due diligence! And yes, we did notice the maroon overspray on the inner door jambs. Folks, you can carry everything you own like they do in all those foreign countries……. Or you can haul it all like we do here in the U.S.A. in an American truck like this! If you have EVER been in the market for a classic Diesel Tow Hauler Beast and miss out on this NO RESERVE auction, you MIGHT be tempted to do this! Because there is only going to be one lucky high bidder here in this NO RESERVE auction! Everyone else is going to be very disappointed because they missed on this extremely nice 1991 Ford F350 2WD Crew Cab Dually Diesel with all the right things done to it! So don’t be like this guy! Run and place your bids Early! And please bid high, bid often, and bid in confidence! Because THIS Beast awaits the lucky high bidder! And you know you’re NOT going to see another one of these here in a NO RESERVE auction very often (unless it is us selling it!)!!! If you have any questions, please feel free to write US by clicking here! For the Terms, Conditions, Return Policies, and other Pertinent Information for this auction (everything you need to know about bids, warranties, fees, and delivery!) PLEASE keep reading! Or forever hold your peace (‘cause it’s not our fault if you don’t read them)! PLEASE READ THIS IMPORTANT INFORMATION CAREFULLY PRIOR TO PLACING YOUR BID. MOST OF YOUR QUESTIONS WILL BE ANSWERED HERE! YOU ARE NOT BIDDING TO BE ABLE TO LOOK AT THE VEHICLE OR TO DECIDE IF YOU WANT THE VEHICLE OR NOT YOU’RE ALSO NOT BIDDING TO WIN A VEHICLE SO YOU CAN TAKE IT TO YOUR MECHANIC AFTER THE FACT FOR THEM TO TELL YOU IF YOU SHOULD HAVE BOUGHT IT OR NOT. YOU ARE BIDDING TO BUY THE VEHICLE LISTED ABOVE IF YOU HAVE QUESTIONS OR WISH TO VIEW THE VEHICLE BEFORE YOU BUY, PLEASE DO SO BEFORE YOU PLACE YOUR BID. WE WILL TRY TO SHOW ANYTHING TO ANYBODY BY APPOINTMENT DEPENDING ON WHERE WE HAVE THE VEHICLE STORED! AFTER YOU HAVE WON THE AUCTION IT IS TOO LATE TO ASK QUESTIONS, HEM AND HAW, ASK YOUR SPOUSE, OR ROB APU AT THE QUICKIE MART TO GET THE MONEY! A $500.00 DEPOSIT IS REQUIRED WITHIN 48 HOURS OF THE AUCTIONS ENDING (EITHER BY PAYPAL, BANK WIRE TRANSFER, OR MONEY ORDER). FULL PAYMENT IS DUE WITHIN 10 DAYS UPON DELIVERY OR BEFORE THE VEHICLE IS SHIPPED. AFTER 10 DAYS, IF WE HAVE NOT RECEIVED YOUR FULL PAYMENT, AND OTHER ARRANGEMENTS HAVE NOT BEEN MADE, WE WILL RE-LIST THE VEHICLE AND YOU WILL FORFEIT YOUR DEPOSIT. O.K., all that being said, we’re the nicest, most understanding people on the planet and wish to work with everyone to make their purchase a happy, comfortable one. We understand fully that buyers have jobs, families, responsibilities and distances to travel. What we are big on is communication. As long as buyers keep us apprised of what is going on with their plans then we’re happy. Please understand that, as stated above in the auction, we would like vehicles picked up within ten days of the auction’s end. This isn’t because we like making buyers jump through hoops. Vehicles that don’t get picked up prevent us from bringing more cars into our lot to offer up for sale. Vehicles that aren’t picked up within 12 days will incur a $20 per day storage charge. As of February 1, 2011, we can no longer be nice and absorb storage fees for buyers after the pickup deadlines. In the recession profits are down and we’re noticing more buyers announcing to us AFTER the auctions that they expect us to hold cars for them gratis an extra 2-3 weeks. We’re making very little money on eBay offering cars in true no reserve auctions and the storage fees we’re charged remain the same regardless of what we make. So, if you intend on delay on picking up your car, expect to receive a storage bill. We’re NOT going to start selling cars here with higher buy it now prices that punish all buyers that can work within deadlines that have worked for us for many years. Please show just as much willingness to work with us as we do with you! eBay’s New Feedback System As many know, eBay’s new feedback system doesn’t allow sellers to give buyers anything but positive feedback regardless of what they say about us. Being a long time, dedicated, eBay Seller that specializes in vehicles that average 20 years old, even the eBay Motors Support Staff tells us that it is going to be impossible for us to maintain a perfect record. They tell us that we’re easy targets for feedback extortion and nasty things of that nature simply because older vehicles are the most difficult to describe exactly. As always, we continue to offer vehicles here represented as honestly as we possibly can without bankrupting ourselves having them checked out or having every flaw addressed. Please understand that we’ll own a vehicle for a few days and write a description based on our opinions of it. Having a buyer own it for 3 months, have mechanics take it apart, drive it for several thousand miles and then judge our description based on their greater experience is rather unfair but does happen. Generally, whenever we might receive something less than positive feedback, it is an indication that a buyer has shown an unwillingness to either let us know about an issue, or a refusal on their part to exercise their option to return a vehicle that they feel might have been misrepresented. We know that the vast majority of buyers are reasonable and know that there is always a risk in buying an older used car long distance from words and pictures and that there are always differences in opinions based on personal experiences. In a world when a dealer is more than willing to take back a car and refund the purchase price for misrepresentation it is actually very difficult to receive negative feedback though it does happen. This reflects more on the integrity of the buyer than the seller. Feedback abuse, extortion, and/or disputes will be adjudicated in the West Virginia Court system. Vehicle Shipping Shipping arrangements/charges are the responsibility of the buyer. We’re a used car dealership and NOT a shipping company ourselves. So PLEASE don’t ask us to obtain a shipping quote for you. Again, this is YOUR responsibility as a buyer and easy enough for you to obtain. If you’re serious about a car you should get your own quotes and not trust one obtained for you. To help you out, we have had very good luck over the years with buyers using Arrow Auto Transport at 877-602-7769. Jim is the manager there and a really nice guy! We are more than happy to help anyone load and strap down a vehicle! Also, depending on the season and fuel prices, Dependable Auto Shippers (DAS) has been giving some very decent rates as well! These are one of the shippers that eBay has a link to in the Shipping portion of the auction. We can arrange to have the vehicle transported to their terminal in this area for less than they will be able to do it for you. We strongly recommend NOT hiring United Road Services regardless of what they quote you. We’ve had nothing but problems the few times we’ve been forced to deal with them. We’d almost rather refund your deposit and cancel the sale than deal with them. Please read the following carefully Dealership Information After having been Amoco Auto in Washington, DC for 21 years, we’ve transitioned over to being Ameracan Export Pre-Owned Cars. Our new address is 736B Williamsport Pike, Martinburg, W V 25401. American Export is a licensed Motor Vehicle Dealership in West Virgina for automobiles and motorcycles. All sales conform to the State of West Virgina Motor Vehicle laws. By bidding, buyers agree that any legal arbitration will take place in the West Virginia Court system. Viewing Vehicles/Test Drives While our physical address is in Martinburg, for logistics we’ll usually have the vehicles we auction stored in other locations. Most commonly our vehicles are stored in the Northern Virginia area to better accommodate buyers flying into either Dulles International or Reagan National airports or shippers traveling the I-95 corridor. Generally 95% of buyers opt to pick up their vehicle from an off site location closer to the main transportation hubs. Because all the vehicles we list here are in no reserve auctions we do NOT offer test drives. While this might sound odd, please understand that, in a no reserve auction, a vehicle is technically sold the instant the first bid is placed upon it. We take our eBay business very seriously and will not betray the trust of those who have entrusted their bids to us. Even we don’t drive cars up for auction unless it is absolutely necessary to take it to a service facility. This policy protects vehicles for whoever the high bidder is going to be and we will not risk the condition of a vehicle for someone who only wants to see if they might (maybe) make a bid. Test drives are designed for more of a traditional retail buy it now/high reserve environment. Not the no reserve wholesale auctions we do. Temporary License Plates As a West Virginia dealer we can provide temporary tags to assist with the drive home. The West Virginia Temporary Tag is good for 60 days and can be issued to buyers with proper identification and proof of insurance. The fee for a temporary tag is $100. We can also provide temporary plates for our motorcycle customers. For both in and out of state buyers: $50.00 Administrative processing fee This fee IS non-negotiable and non-refundable. THIS FEE APPLIES TO EVERY AUCTION REGARDLESS OF WHO THE BUYER IS. EVEN DEALERS MUST PAY THIS FEE! This fee covers the title reassignment, reporting costs, and paperwork maintenance fees every dealer incurs when selling a car. Because all our auctions are No Reserve, we are never guaranteed to make anything on a vehicle (and quite often don’t) yet still incur the same costs. This is why this fee is disclosed and added onto the back end. Before complaining, please note that the vast majority of dealers offering cars on eBay at high Buy It Now pricing or reserves still charge a similar fee even though their profits are guaranteed. Payment Types Accepted: We will accept Paypal for the deposit ONLY! Please do not try to pay in full using PayPal! Balances are accepted via Cash on Delivery in person, Certified Check, Bank wire transfer, or Postal Money Order. These are the ONLY accepted forms of payment. Please do NOT offer us chickens, children, credit cards, or other items. Please don't ask us to set up payment plans or to allow you to pay us Tuesday for a hamburger today. By bidding on this or any of our auctions you agree to our terms of sale and, you also agree that if you are the winning bidder and do not contact us or send a deposit within 48 hours, we reserve the right to re-list the vehicle and/or sell it to the next highest bidder, and report you to eBay as a "Non-Paying Bidder" in accordance with eBay’s Unpaid Item Policy IF YOU HAVE A FEEDBACK RATING OF 0, PLEASE DROP US AN EMAIL BEFORE YOU BID We do not want to discourage anyone from bidding, only to verify that you are serious and to answer any questions you might have about the process! Buying a car on eBay for the first time can be exciting, scary, and confusing all at the same time. We want to help make it as easy as possible for you and answer any questions you might have. Zero Feedback bidders, according to eBay rules, cannot be blocked, but if you have zero feedback and do not contact us before bidding, we do have the option to cancel your bid. We rarely ever do this but if we notice that you’re bidding on 15 other cars at the same time as ours we might wonder about your level of commitment to our no reserve auction. We take our eBay sales seriously and go to great lengths to protect the trust buyers place in us. ABOUT OUR DESCRIPTIONS & VEHICLES First off, the cars we list average 20 years old! THEY ARE NOT NEW OR ANYWHERE NEAR IT! Our descriptions are based on our basic inspections of the vehicle. Descriptions of cosmetic condition are based on our opinion of what we see and may differ from your personal opinion. We have worked with hundreds of vehicles and base our comments on comparison and the age of the vehicle. A vehicle that is described as "very nice", "Excellent", "beautiful", etc, is described that way based on similar vehicles of that age and mileage. Some buyers are “experts” on some vehicles while we are not. These buyers might be comparing our cars to the totally perfect, mint condition, 250K mile, show car they own or have owned in the past and be very anal retentive. If you are this type of buyer, buying a car online that you can’t inspect in person might not be the right thing for you because nothing will ever meet up to your standards. No used car is 100% perfect, no matter how well it was cared for. Remember that small blemishes or issues may exist that we have not noted. We do NOT examine every vehicle under a microscope, so small dings, scratches, chips, paint fade, windshield chips, washer motors, bushings, defrosters, loose trim, previous rust or damage repairs, missing trim, loose headliners, missing radio buttons, etc. may not be noted, and we will not discount a vehicle because something like this is not noted in the description. Because we offer all our vehicles in no reserve auctions we are NOT in a position to have them extensively gone through by certified mechanics or body and paint experts to assess their complete mechanical and structural condition. If we notice something is wrong with a vehicle in the short time we have it before we list it we will have that issue addressed or disclose it in the description. After a vehicle is purchased and then put under a microscope by the buyer after the fact doesn’t mean we knew of, or can take responsibility for, flaws that we were not aware of when listing the vehicle. Issues we were not aware of can’t affect feedback. Please don’t say after the fact that we HAD to know of this or that flaw. We disclose what we’re aware of and don’t play those games. We also may neglect to mention a cosmetic flaw that is clearly visible in the pictures. Please look at all of the pictures carefully, as they are part of the vehicles description and ask questions if you have them. Unless otherwise noted in the description, the vehicle is in running, drivable condition, although we can never make any guarantees nor do we warranty any vehicle to pass a state inspection in ANY state unless noted otherwise in the auction description. Our return policy covers misrepresentation of the vehicle. We will not refund a purchase price or take back a vehicle just because it doesn’t pass your state inspection or your personal mechanic’s inspection after you have taken delivery! Also, be warned, if you purchase ANY older used car and then take it to a new car dealer for an assessment, expect a $2000 estimate regardless of how nice it is. New car dealers are out to screw you fixing older vehicles! We have seen dealers give $2500 estimates for what turned out to be $78 repairs! Don’t moan to us if this happens. The cars we list are generally low tech and any inexpensive garage can work on them for much less. Concerns and/or issues that we are not aware of may exist with this vehicle (including but not limited to mechanical and/or cosmetic) that are not listed in the description. We make every effort to fully disclose any major mechanical issues we find with a vehicle (engine, transmission, safety), but other issues may and probably still exist. Remember this is an older USED vehicle and will have blemishes and or problems that are normal for the age and mileage or common on that particular vehicle. (Please keep in mind that some cars have inherent issues...ie: Neons all have bad head gaskets, Taurus’ have bad transmissions, older convertibles tend to have some dampness and mildew, etc. These issues may exist now or in the future with the vehicle you are purchasing. (We don't build them, we just sell them!) Examples are (but not limited to) dings, scratches, etc, trim pieces that are not in original condition, and/or but not limited to features/options that do not operate or maintenance that might be required. Lack of cleanliness is not a defect! Please use common sense before asking us silly questions like if a car has been in a flood, a major accident, or if the title is clear. We are very upfront in our descriptions and disclose everything we know about a car in it. It is insulting to us that someone would think we would violate federal law and not disclose that a car has sat on the bottom of the Gulf of Mexico. Our descriptions, including vehicle features, are listed as accurately as possible, although we are not responsible for typographical errors in the listing. We cannot/will not guarantee systems like Air Conditioning. A vehicle’s air conditioning system may operate fine when we check the vehicle and then not when you come and pick it up. This happens if a system has a small leak that we have no way of knowing about, especially when a vehicle sits. The same thing applies to stereos. Many aftermarket digital stereos are difficult to operate without manuals. We will not reimburse for or perform any air conditioning system repair on any vehicle, even if the system is listed as working and it does not when you pick up the vehicle. This also applies to power options (windows, locks, seats, mirrors, radios, climate control, entertainment systems, etc) Being that these are used vehicles, not all original equipment is always included with the vehicle. Items including, but not limited to, extra keys or fobs, owners manuals, new car smell, spare tires (jacks, wheel tools), remotes, CD changer magazines, and floor mats, may not be included with the vehicle. The seller will not pay for these items if they are not there, or remove them from another vehicle. Most of these items can be purchased from a dealer, auto parts store, or on eBay cheaply. Any issue either currently present or occurring in the future, whether disclosed in the listing or not, will be sole responsibility of the buyer, and the seller will NOT reimburse for any expenses incurred, or discount the purchase price! We will gladly provide estimates to perform minor repairs if you wish us to. Remember that just about ANY mechanic can find SOMETHING wrong with ANY used car. Given time and mileage, something is bound to need fixing or maintenance. We do NOT respond well to people trying to trade positive feedback in return for us fixing their car for them. By bidding, you agree to accept responsibility for buying an older, USED car! Feedback extortion (no matter how nicely it is phrased) is a crime, both in court and with eBay! We take our business and reputation seriously and will go to court to protect it. Please use common sense when determining if you will drive your new vehicle home. A 20-year old car with 150,000 miles, even in the best of shape, is still 20 years old and still has 150,000 miles. Many of these vehicles may have never made a long trip, or have not been driven far in awhile. Even cars with very low mileage might only have been driven locally their entire lives and never on a trip. We do our best to accurately disclose all issues we’re aware of, but we have no way of knowing if anything will fail during a trip. When we list a car on eBay we are aware of it being a national marketplace. We only list cars that we feel are capable of making a cross country trip but, of course, WE CANNOT GUARANTEE ANY CAR TO MAKE ANY TRIP, NO MATTER WHAT THE CURRENT CONDITION! We HIGHLY recommend a AAA membership to anyone traveling cross-country, even in something brand new. No dealer or manufacturer can guarantee this on any vehicle whether new or used. Please don’t expect us to do differently or hold us responsible if a problem occurs. We don’t list vehicles with known problems or try to hide them! About Our Photographs People often ask me about, or compliment me on my photography and how I do the pictures. I work on a system and take basically the same set of pictures for every single vehicle. Check our current and previous auctions to verify this. I try to use the same location every time if possible. I do NOT (and don’t have the time to) get sneaky with angles or lighting in an attempt to hide flaws. While I do not specifically highlight flaws we don’t hide them because they’ll be seen eventually. Some folks are scared that the vehicle pictured might be very different from the one they see. Our photographs are taken with a pocket sized Canon SX-120is digital camera or an iPhone 4. I process them using Apple’s iPhoto version 9. The only modifications I make to photographs are to crop them so they are framed properly. Beyond that, I will only use the program’s automatic Enhance feature and then sharpen the photos so details will be more visible to the bidders in case they wish to download them to their desktops and further enlarge them. Several buyers have flattered me by asking to have copies of their vehicle’s photographs because they liked them so much. IPhoto is NOT like Photoshop and doesn’t give me the ability to alter or cover up huge rust holes in my photos. I take a HUGE amount of pride in what I do and enjoy taking photos and like presenting cars nicely but, when processing 100’s of pictures, I don’t have the time or desire to modify pictures beyond what they are. I’m not in the business of misleading buyers through pictures. I take the photos and I’m the guy that meets you when you pick up the car. Obviously, since I walk with a cane and my ass is easy to kick, it is better there are no surprises. It’s that simple. When you try it, digital photography is pretty simple. WARRANTY INFORMATION Please understand that the winning bidder will be purchasing this vehicle AS-IS with NO WARRANTY of any kind either expressed or implied. We want everyone to be happy with the vehicles they’ve purchased from us. If you can show we knowingly misrepresented a vehicle, please return it to us for a refund!

On Oct-19-12 at 12:14:28 PDT, seller added the following information: Driving Impression of this F350 I wanted to post a driving impression of this F350 to the auction because, like I put in the description, I hadn’t been able to put many miles on it. Today I transported this F350 from our storage location a bit closer in. I was able to put about 40 miles on it mostly all highway. The truck runs and drives beautifully especially keeping in mind it is a 21-year old commercial grade truck. It sometimes needs to crank a bit to start and that might be indicative of a slightly weak glow plug or two. The truck hummed along the highway on cruise control. It ran very smoothly and quietly and had plenty of power everywhere and had zero problems burying the (classic but hated) 85 m.p.h. speedo easily. While not a problem we did notice that this truck was much happier at highway speeds mostly because of the transmission gearing. The higher overdrive gears work much better at higher speeds and, we surmise, when towing a load. With a vehicle like this we’re much happier locking out the overdrive around town so we can have the extra grunt and comfort on the road pulling a small building. Only other thing I noticed was that, while the stereo worked and sounded good, the volume control button does not allow the driver to lower the volume. All told, I was VERY pleasantly surprised with how well this old truck performed. While you can tell it is an older, less refined, truck everything it does it does beautifully and we have zero doubts about it being able to make a cross-country trip! Good luck with your bidding!
