A 1976 F250 bought new by my grandparents back in 1975. It's pretty rough on the outside from sitting for over 15 years but with 39,000 original miles I can't complain. I put a ton of work in it mechanically and it runs like a screaming eagle now. Was my daily gas guzzler until a couple months ago when I picked up my 05 D3 and couldn't be happier with the change. I still drive it 2 to 3 times a week just because. Working from home has its' perks so miles stay pretty low.
Damn that's a pretty solid truck for being 39 yrs old. What kind of motor does that have in it?? That's very low mileage for the year. 39?? Holy smokes lol. Has that truck sat on grass all that time or on concrete. If it was on grass that body would look twice as worse.
You got the 7700 GVW version F150. Does that have the 5.4 engine in it?? That truck is clean and has no rusty rockers. How often do you use it?? I fully 100% stand by Ford trucks and plus besides my old man is retired from Ford so I can get the Z plan.
Not many people know about 7700. It is 5.4 and no rust at all, no oil burning or leaking either. I use it from time to time. My friends too.
I drive the XKR more months and more miles per year than my A8L, and I really don't drive either of my A4s at all (I bought and maintain, parents drive). The XKR has been a beautiful, fun, cheap to run, easy to fix car; 23k miles in 3.5 years and only a fuel pump failure other than maintenance and cosmetics. Here's my Jaguar:

That's pretty good that it doesn't burn any oil. I had 2 5.4's and 2 4.6's and one of the 4.6's I had literally burned a qt if oil 1000 miles but I still kept it changed and still cheaper than another motor and plus it had 199K when I got rid of it. Still ran like a champ. The other ones I burn a qt every 2000 miles or so. You can't kill the triton engines but they do have the #3 or #4 spark plug blow out and rusty exhaust manifold problems(if in a salt belt). I do notice that my 4.6 does burn a little less gas than my 5.4.
Two vehicles to choose from depending on the destination and who is joining. Of course, if its raining the shiny black Audi stays in the garage. Megacab is the most fuel "efficient" averaging 21. Not too bad for 1,000 ft# torque and 500hp. GTR is another story... Was black but had it plastidipped so I could drive it more frequently without freaking out about being dirty. A lot of fun with over 800hp in the rain!
2000 Model Mitsubishi Verada (Diamante in the USA) and it has had a lot of work done. I installed a 3.8 V6 and 5 Speed Auto from the Galant Ralliart and have done everything that could be done to the car apart from change the shell. Even proximity keyless go with remote start was fitted.
Did all the work myself. It is a hobby toy now.
That is great showing the steering wheel on the wrong side.

Thank you 2k6blacka8!
It has the big old 390. It drove from Arkansas to California twice in the 70's with a camper on it then tooled around town in Arkansas. It sat under a carport on concrete connected to their house for about 13 years before the camper was pulled and they moved the truck to the side of their house on grass. My uncle asked for 10 years if he could get it from them with no luck. I asked once at Christmas in 2009 and brought it home. He never would have got it running, I think grandma knew that.
