decapitated bumpside

Found this on eBay:




From the ad: "~1967 Ford F100 Roush Fenway built~
This is a ONE OF A KIND Roush Built F100
The truck was professionally done and that is obvious. The paint is in mint condition but has started bubbling on the doors along with one fender.
Roush removed the motor and the transmission after they decided they didnt have a use for the truck.
The truck doesn't have a title but one could be obtained.
The truck was used in a TV show for a while but was then sold."


I love how he says the paint is in "mint condition" and goes on to note imperfections in the paint. Classic car ad nonsense.

You can see the truck here: http://www.ebay.com/itm/Ford-F-100-Roush-1967-ford-f-100-roush-/111470326084?forcerrptr=true&hash=item19f4263144&item=111470326084&pt=US_Cars_Trucks

My favorite ad nonsense is "360 bored to a 390". Yeah. Quick back of the napkin shows that to be a bore of 4.211". People just make it up as they go along.

Yep.

Also, he claims it's a '67 but it has a '71 grille, post-67 hood emblems, etc. The ad has no shots of the interior, underside, engine bay or the inside of the bed.

"No, you can't see what you bidding on. And why would you ask? That'l be $3,000, please." No thanks.

Very cool-looking ride, though.

Another clueless ebay seller.

Ad says Clear Title, then says it doesn't have a title.

Seller posted the VIN ~ F10YNK82296

F10 = F100 2WD / Y = 360 2V / N = Norfolk VA Assembly Plant / K82996 = 1971

Maybe seller meant paint was in mint color?!

Given the timing, there could be numerous tasteless jokes about beheading.
IMO, pointless. And the seller is clueless, whatever Roush may have had to do with this truck is long gone now.

Y'all sure are a grumpy bunch today. So the seller is full of crap and/or is ignorant. So what?

It obviously isn't a daily-driver, except maybe if you live in San Diego. Again, so what?

It's a cool-looking truck. Am I going to buy it? No. But it's still cool.

HAHA! You're right.

For myself I can say that after years of searching for "the one" through thousands of classified ads a man gets a little jaded. Poorly described and badly photographed trucks and dishonest or ignorant sellers could mean a really good truck slips through your fingers or you get taken for good money. It's just a little frustrating, that's all.

That would be a great truck to watch drive off a cliff.

But, how safe would it be? Did the builder add an X member to the frame to reinforce it after he cut the roof off?

Cut the roof off a vehicle with a ladder type frame, the cowl will shake like jelly on a plate, the doors could pop open.

Ragtops (except unit bodies) had an X member frame, no cowl shake, doors won't pop open.

Good question. I would want a rollbar as well.
