........ Sometimes all you can do is walk away shaking your head, thinking " what a moron".
Just out of curiosity, does anyone know what an "electoral" system is? Maybe he should go to Washington and replace everything there too.

That is rare. It runs on an electoral system. I do not even think you could buy fuses for that thing. The parts one in my field looks just like it but has that ordinary electrical system that we all have.

8K, where do I pay. I've been looking for a "strait" 6 for a long time. Plus with the 1 in 500 made option I could probably double my money over his asking price if I decided to resell it.

Anybody wanna break the news to him that there are a couple thousand more trucks like that around?

My truck is the only one that has the same serial number as mine so it must be at least 10,000 or even more.

I guess there is a possibility he is telling the truth. If you order a certain combination of options/paint/etc. There could only be 500 made with those exact specs. But how would he know? That info is somewhere.

My favorite was "Asking $8,000 -- Already have offer for $9,500"

Appears his math is worse than his spelling...

I emailed him and he seems to think it being an automatic is rare!!!

Here is what he says

"
Ford only made 500 because its a automatic ran and drives amazing no pulling at all if you would like more pics just ask "

I also called and talked to the owner. It's a lady who knows nothing about trucks. She seems to think that ford only made 500 Short beds with the C-4 and straight 6. She also commented on one selling last week on craigslist for $13,000 LOL. This lady is freaking retarded and has no facts to back anything up. Her sons professor at his school told him it is rare. Stupiest thing I've hard all week.
