2001 – FORD F150 PICK-UP FOR SALE – NEW ENGINE

2001 – FORD F150 PICK-UP FOR SALE

I purchased this truck about three years ago when I was in my “vintage camper” phase. Initially purchased to pull my 1965 AIRSTREAM CARAVEL, and then my 1959 FAN Camper, below. Click on the bottom images for larger views.

Looks like new – the shorter bed, but with four doors and full two seats. Plastic liner in the bed, and I purchased the tonneau cover for added sleekness — this style does not look dated at all. Some details:

1-a southern truck, this has only been north about half its life – I have details on original owner
2-BIG PLUS — NEW ENGINE, less than 5,000 miles
3-Downside I am told – two-wheel drive, but for my use was not an issue
4-Tires look new
5-I last drove in mid-December 2023, but in mid-May 2024 she started right up after six months sitting
6-Slight downside – in December there was an occasional hiccup with lower speed acceleration that then smoothed out. Researching I learned the emission system can cause that, and first replace gas cap, which I did – was fine for awhile, but started again. Probably something simple to fix for someone smarter than me. Prefer to let you solve the “hiccup.”
7-I have list of items replaced (e.g. radiator) prior to my purchase
8-has been repainted, looks like was bumped on side rear once

Below some interior images and additional exterior – these “side by side” galleries may be clicked for larger views.

Can be yours for less than half what I have it in — yours for $3950?
SORRY SOLD

ORIGINAL COLUMBUS GUM MACHINE WITH BARREL LOCKS

ALL ORIGINAL COLUMBUS GUM MACHINE WITH BARREL LOCKS – Model M circa 1928

I have had this original chewing gum ball dispenser made by the Columbus Vending Company in my country store collection for many, many decades – long enough that I do not recall when or where I found it. Complete with two original rare barrel locks that came with it. No key, but when I got this vending machine I worked the locks open as I recall with a paper clip – and I have never been to lock picking school. The barrel locks alone run about $75 each when found.

Time to share some of my fun items in new collections. thank you, RAY

PICKUP – ONLY – But following payment happy to meet buyer within a 100 mile radius – Covers range to Hartford, Connecticut; Maine; Stockbridge, Massachusetts; almost to Boston – let’s talk
