Vehicle Detail
WE LOVE OUR VINTAGE DIESELS HERE!!! Nice older Diesel Trucks are getting VERY hard to find. Smart folks hold onto them. But we got VERY lucky when I saw rare duck come available in auction! This is one of the RAREST trucks we’ve come across. This auction is for a 1987 Ford F250 2WD standard cab pickup! This F250 being offered here: HAS ONLY 128K ONE OWNER RURAL PA MILES ON IT! HAS THE VERY RARE 6.9-LITER NON-TURBOCHARGED INTERNATIONAL DIESEL!! IS RUST FREE! HAS COLD AC AND A NEW ALTERNATOR! RUNS AND DRIVES LIKE A CHAMP! AND COMES WITH OUR 100% MONEY BACK WARRANTY! And, to make this auction interesting, we are putting this Big Diesel F250 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! Vintage Diesels in this kind of condition aren’t easy to find and interest an awful lot of people! This ’87 F250 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. Right up front, we do NOT accept Paypal for the full purchase price. Ebay strongly recommends automotive sellers not do this for their own protection. We do not make exceptions with this and have very little sympathy for buyers that do not read and comprehend our auctions. 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 eBay’s number one seller of vintage Diesel cars and trucks. And we’re one of their only dealers that list everything we get in true no reserve auctions where the bidding starts at only one penny! You will NOT get a better price anywhere else. Because you buyers are the ones who control what our vehicles sell for! Like I mentioned earlier, we acquired this F250 at an auction in central PA. It is a very rural one-owner truck. We were told that the owner was a very elderly man and that the truck had sat for the past 15 years not getting driven hardly at all. The discrepancy you see on the Autocheck report reflects the five-digit odometer. As you have already seen this is one very nice survivor considering it is almost 24 model years old! Diesel trucks like this in two-wheel drive form with the standard cab are very rare to see and were usually special ordered. Many websites don’t even acknowledge that Ford offered a Diesel engine for the F250 in 1987. This truck is extraordinarily comfortable on the road and returns the best fuel economy you’ll ever get in a full sized Diesel truck! There is nothing a new Diesel F250 can do that this one can’t also do for a fraction of the price. The only thing is that this truck will be around loooong after the newer trucks go to the scrap pile! O.K. When we got this truck it didn’t look as nice as it does now. But this truck ran and drove so beautifully and had such low miles that we took it on as sort of a project because it was worth it! The cab was in excellent shape but the bed wasn’t. There was some rust affecting the rear fender lips and the left side. Also the gate was not pretty from having sat for so long. We took this truck to a body shop and they replaced all the affected metal around the fender lips and repaired all the rust damage. We found a perfect gate, and had it all repainted along with the rear bumper. The white paint looks very good and matches pretty closely to the original paint on the cab. That’s what it takes to have a nice truck! The only thing we didn’t have done was have the little downward bend in the fRont bumper fixed. We see that a lot on the older Fords. And just left it be. Mechanically the truck was perfect. The 6.9 non-turbo International Diesel was the BEST diesel engine EVER made in the U.S. The batteries had been replaced and all that was needed was a new alternator and to have one of the internal line filters in the AC replaced to make the AC ice cold. Whoever wins this truck is going to get a sweetheart that will last them forever! Here is a shot of the bed and the full Pendaliner protecting it! Here you can see the Hidden Hitch under the bumper as well as the electrical hookup for the electric brakes on a trailer! No, we’re not afraid to show you the underbody! Here you can see how nice the tread is on the tires. Rare to see these older stock hubcaps but they are all there if not perfect. We’ve put a couple hundred miles on this F250 in all conditions and weather and I wouldn’t hesitate to drive this 3/4-Ton cross-country in a minite! We’ll show this beauty off and let it speak to you itself! Everything about this ’87 F250 screams quality, pure class, and longevity! It’s nice to see them surviving in this kind of condition AND also in a NO RESERVE auction! Here’s your chance finally to own one and get away from all the ungodly maintenance the newer Diesel trucks require!! For a 23 year old non-smoking truck interior we were pleased! It is the heavy-duty interior with the rubber floor. That’s a good thing. The bench seat feels very good though it has that standard seat cover on it that we see so much on the standard cab trucks. But, considering its age, we’re very happy! The inner door panels are looking just as great! And yes, this F250 has wing windows! Wing windows are the one of the things that made this country great! If you donn’t believe me, ask yourself this: Has Amercia turned into a better, or worse, country since Detriot stopped doing wing windows on trucks and cars? There you go! The dash area is in the same excellent condition as the rest of the truck! What is nice is that everything works! Like I said earlier, the AC is blowing ice cold. The AM/FM stock stereo sounds very nice. There are no trouble lights and the glow plugs work fine. And the switches between the two fuel tanks works great. The only thing I am missing are the manuals. There is no way you’re not going to be pleased here! The five digit odometer on this ’87 F250 registers 28292. Because it is an old truck and we bought it in PA, the auction house sold it to us as being mileage exempt. After having the truck’s history explained to us and seeing the Autocheck report we firmly believe it is only 128K on it and has been driven only 3K miles on it in the last 15 or so years. The discrepancy on the Autocheck report is a common one due to the five digit odometer. It is tough to find better miles on one of these older Diesel trucks and condition means more than miles anyways. This is a nice interior considering it’s age and that it is a contractor grade truck! Older trucks like this normally get hard use from their owners and don’t survive at all and it is very RARE to find an interior in this kind of condition! Under the hood is the International 6.9-liter non-turbocharged Diesel V8. This was the platform from which Ford designed all the future powerstrokes. 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 feels great in all driving conditions. All we had to do was install a new alternator and this Ford is ready to go! And here is the VIN plate just so everyone can do their due diligence! 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 great heavy-duty vintage Diesel truck and miss out on this NO RESERVE auction, you MIGHT be tempted to do this (but please don’t)! 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, one owner, low mileage 1987 Ford F250 Diesel pick up! 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 Diesel 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! 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. 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 Powerseller 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 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. 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, 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. 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, 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 you 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 you are ours we might exercise our option. We take our eBay sales seriously and go to great lengths to protect the trust buyers place in us by putting in their bids. ABOUT OUR DESCRIPTIONS & VEHICLES First off, the cars we list average 18 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. Many buyers are “experts” on some vehicles while we are not. A vehicle that is described as "very nice", "Excellent", "beautiful", etc, is described that way based on similar vehicles of that age and mileage. 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 before we list it we will have that issue addressed. After a vehicle is purchased and then put under a microscope by the buyer doesn’t mean we knew of, or take responsibility for, flaws that we were not aware of when listing the vehicle. We also may not 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. Unless otherwise noted above, 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! 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 others may and most likely 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. 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 the 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. 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, 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 or auto parts store very 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. 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. We do our best to accurately disclose all issues, 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! 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! 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! LEGAL INFORMATION BY WINNING AN EBAY AUCTION YOU ARE ENTERING INTO A LEGALLY BINDING CONTRACT! DO NOT BID UNLESS YOU PLAN ON PURCHASING THIS VEHICLE, OR YOU DO NOT HAVE THE FUNDS!!! You MUST have valid ID in order to purchase a vehicle from us. This is the law and we cannot make any exceptions! State law also requires that you must be 18 years of age or older to purchase a motor vehicle from a dealer. If you are under 18...either DO NOT BID...WE CANNOT SELL YOU THE CAR!, or make sure you can have an adult sign for & register the vehicle! We will hold a vehicle, as long as full payment is received in accordance with our terms of sale, for up to 24 days. After 12 days a $20.00 per day storage fee will apply. After 60 days you relinquish the vehicle and all monies received by us. BY BIDDING ON THIS VEHICLE YOU ACKNOWLEDGE THAT YOU HAVE READ, AND AGREE TO THE ABOVE STATEMENTS, THE TERMS OF SALE, AND ALL INFORMATION PERTAINING TO THIS VEHICLE, AND THE AUCTION. IF YOU DO NOT AGREE WITH ANYTHING WE HAVE STATED, OR DO NOT HAVE THE MONEY, PLEASE DO NOT PLACE A BID! Please e-mail us at amoco_auto@cox.net with any questions that you may have, or for more information on this or any of our other vehicles. Thank you again for your interest in our auctions, and we hope to add you to our growing list of satisfied customers! Happy Bidding!!
