You are bidding on an original paint 1975 Ford F100 Ranger XLT. I purchased this in Feb. 2011 with the intention of restoring it back to original. I drove it daily for a little over a year and then just used it when I needed to haul parts. Due to the present workload of customer cars I have decided to sell several vehicles that I bought to restore and this is one of them. It is an excellent basis for a full restoration or you can fix a number of small items that I will describe and drive it as a survivor. I do not see any evidence of collision and that paint is consistent over the truck which leads me to believe it has never had any portion repainted. The white portion of the paint is dull but will buff up a little - but remember it is 38 years old. The yellow portion is a little better and does buff out pretty well. It has a nice patina and makes it fun to drive on cruises, etc. The truck does need several things to bring it up to a nice standard. I will try to list them all. Since I purchased the truck I have replaced the following: Carburetor, distributor, fuel pump, oil pressure light switch, headlight dimmer switch, battery, EGR valve, spark plugs, spark plug wires, master cylinder, wheels and tires. Many of the parts were still functioning fine, but driving the truck daily, I wanted to head off any problems. I have also purchased several parts that I have not yet installed. When I bought the truck, the previous owner had wired a toggle switch into the heater fan because the in-dash fan had gone bad. I purchased a new switch, but have not taken the time to install it yet. I would suggest doing this soon. The toggle switch is not rated for the current drawn by the fan and it and the wires get hot after a few minutes. I have a new interior light and lens that I will send with the truck. The truck has a 390 V8. It was originally equipped with a 360, but was told by the previous owner that when that engine wore out they installed a Jasper rebuilt 390 at somewhere around 110,000 miles. Supposedly at the same time the transmission was rebuilt, but I doubt it was rebuilt or I would have some concern about the rebuild. The truck does not always shift correctly and acts like there is a vacuum leak in the modulator. I think the torque converter may be dragging. The front seal is also leaking. Despite the transmission issues I would not hesitate to drive the truck daily again. I would suggest the new owner go through the transmission, especially checking for vacuum leaks and replacing the front seal and torque converter. Other issues, the air conditioning is probably low on freon, but with the bad fan switch I have not tried it. I prefer the windows down anyway. One or both rear wheel cylinders is leaking. The fuel gauge is not working at the moment, it quit a couple of weeks ago. I think it might be a loose wire or bad ground. There is a minor water leak around the windshield. I was going to replace the gasket when I repainted the truck, but that hasn't happened yet. The seat needs recovering, it has evidently been recovered once as the upholstery is not original. The driver side sunvisor is missing part of the rod that clips into place at the center of the roof, so that end just dangles around, but it does stay in place. The truck has very little rust. You can see where it is starting to appear around the rear wheel openings. There is surface rust in the bed, but no rust through. There is some rust inside the driver's side of the hood. It hasn't worked it's way through the outside yet. There is a small dent in the right front fender where the previous owner misjudged a fence post while backing a boat. Overall, for a 38 year old truck, it is in very good condition. As I indicated, it would make an excellent basis for a full restoration. Someone who has the mechanical ability could fix all of the issues with the truck relatively quickly and without a great deal of expense. They are only original once and trucks like this are getting hard to find. This truck is being offered for local pick up only. I will not ship. Also a $500 deposit is required within 48 hours of the auction end. I also have this truck for sale locally and reserve the right to end the auction early.

Lincoln trumpets $129M investment, 300 new jobs in Louisville for MKC
Tue, 26 Aug 2014Remember when we used to talk about how close Lincoln was to being axed and how it seemed any day now the Grim Reaper would use it as a car service back to the grave? Last time we did it was, oh, not even a month ago. What a difference 27 days makes: Ford and Lincoln are trumpeting a $129M investment in the Louisville Assembly Plant that builds the MKC.
In July the MKC was the third-best-selling Lincoln of the brand's six offerings, beat by the MKZ and - by a much smaller margin - the MKX. It has sold 2,895 units in the two months it's been on sale, which is more than half the year-to-date sales of the MKS, MKT and Navigator. It's already important, is what we're trying to say, and this is before the Chinese market gets a crack at it later this year.
The money headed to Kentucky will be joined by 300 new workers, another marker in Ford's march to create 12,000 hourly jobs in the US by next year. You can read more about it in the press release below.
Shelby GT500 laps N"urburgring in under 7:40?
Wed, 30 Oct 2013A couple of weeks ago we brought you footage and official times of the new Chevy Camaro Z/28 lapping the Nürburgring. With a 7:37.47 lap time, the Z/28 emerged as the fastest muscle car ever to lap the circuit. But what was missing from that picture was how fast the king of all Mustangs, the Shelby GT500, could manage to lap the Nordschleife.
Ford never released any information or footage of the GT500 on the Nürburgring that we were aware of - that is, until the guys at SVTPerformance.com put in a request for Mustang videos. Among the clips they received was never-seen, in-car footage of the Shelby GT500 lapping the circuit. And boy did it hustle.
Although not quite official, the video seems to show the GT500 lapped the venerated German track in a touch under 7:40. That would make it a tick or two faster than the Camaro ZL1 - but what of the Z/28? By Chevy's quoted time, the Z/28 is still faster than the GT500, but SVTPerformance suggests GM may have fudged the numbers a bit and scrubbed half a second or so off their lap time.
US Ford Focus RS to be imported from Europe
Tue, 21 Oct 2014Rumors about the forthcoming Ford Focus RS are flourishing into what sounds like a very impressive new hot hatch. The latest scuttlebutt gives the first indication about when we might see a few of these fast Focuses on roads here in the US.
Unnamed insiders reportedly confirmed to The Truth About Cars that Ford plans to launch the Focus RS in the US in 2016. However, getting one might not be so easy - the boosted powertrain means the car would likely need to be imported from Europe. That's likely going to keep the total number available in the US rather low. The sources estimate a price tag that's a bit more expensive than the top Focus ST3, which starts around $28,500, plus $825 destination.
It seems that a pretty potent package comes for all of that cash, though. The Focus RS reportedly uses a 2.3-liter turbocharged four-cylinder making between 325 and 350 horsepower, with a torque-vectoring all-wheel drive system to get that muscle to the road. The test mules also wear more aggressive front and rear fascias, dual exhaust tips, larger brakes and sticky tires. It sounds like a great formula on top of the already enjoyable Focus ST.
