1987 And 1988 Ford Ranger Supercab 4x4 Trucks, 2 Trucks For One Price. Both Run on 2040-cars
Silverwood, Michigan, United States
|
Hello. you are looking at a package deal on two Ford Ranger extended cab 4X4 trucks. One is a 1987, the other a 1988. They are both identical trucks, Both run good with the 2.9L V6 engines and both have the 5 speed manual transmissions. I had bought the 1988 (the grey silver) truck first, and what it needs to be functional is a transmission. When you let out the clutch, it grinds really bad, sounds like a bad bearing. The drivers side of the box is caved in on it. Other than these issues, the truck runs really nice. Its a very clean solid truck for the age. I also have included in the auction but not pictured a stepside box from a newer later 90s style Ranger that I was going to put on this truck and paint it. With a bit of TLC, youd have one nice clean older truck that would make a fine driver for a long time. The other truck, the blue one is a 1987 That is really rusty and ruff. It runs and drives good, and was recently tuned up . I am driving this truck back and forth to work everyday, and it drives fine. Everything works on it, except the heater core is bad. I have a brand new heater core that goes with it. I had origionally bought the 1987 to use as a parts truck for the 1988, to take the trans out, and make one nice truck out of the two. WHen I drove the 1987 home It drove so nice, I figgured why part it down, so, I decided to put it on the road and run it for a while. The 1987 truck is quite ruff, The body is shot on it, the frame has a crack in it, but there is a patch welded over it, the windshield is good, and it runs and goes down the road rather well. The doors dont open or shut very well. There is a 1988 Factory Manual that goes with both trucks, a Chiltons book, and a Haynes book with the 2. Also new heater core, and a new set of front and rear shoes as well. So, In this auction you get a 1988 Ford Ranger extended cab 4X4 that just needs a transmission to be driveable, a 1987 Ford Ranger 4X4 thats ruff but can be driven as is, and a stepside box from a late 90s Ranger as well as some repair manuals, and a few spare goodies. There is a lot to work with here. If you have any questions, please call or text Chris at 810-656-7496. My starting bid is my lowest price I will take for the pair. I will not separate, it all goes as one lot. I have both trucks for sale locally and I reserve the right to end the auction early. Both trucks have clear Michigan titles. Payment in full is due within 7 days of auction end, no exceptions. I will continue to drive the 1987 Ranger untill auction has ended. Buyer has 90 Days to pick up the trucks after auction end. If you pay by check or Money order, Trucks are not to leave untill the check or money order clears my bank. You are buying both as is. Trucks are in Silverwood, Mi. 48760. An hour and a half north of Detroit. Thanks for looking, please see my other auctions. No sales outside the USA please God Bless.

Ford, Renault, VW shareholder oppose French aid for PSA/Peugeot-Citro"en
Mon, 29 Oct 2012Pots and kettles, glass houses and stones - that's a little of what we appear to have going on in the European car market. New reports say that that three European automakers have registered their opposition to a loan deal that PSA/Peugeot-Citroën is working on with the French government. Peugeot's finance arm, Banque PSA Finance, is struggling with its debts and has been downgraded by Moody's to its lowest investment-grade classification, one step above junk. This makes it more expensive for a potential buyer to finance a car through Peugeot. The last thing Peugeot needs is more difficulty selling cars in the tough European market, and the situation will only worsen if the bank's credit worthiness takes another hit.
A deal being worked on would have the French government offer €7 billion ($9B U.S.) in bonds to guarantee the bank's loans, which would give the institution some breathing room to manage its debts and lower its interest rates. Outside of that, a group of banks would provide other, non-guaranteed loans to the bank to further help its position. In exchange for state help, though, the government wants seats on Peugeot's board for worker representatives and a government liaison, along with factory and worker guarantees. The Peugeot family would maintain control of the company.
So what we have is government assistance being provided to a car company's finance arm, akin to the way General Motors' GMAC (now Ally Financial) and Chrysler Financial got help in their time of need. What we also have is Ford and Renault, and Germany's State of Lower Saxony, the second-largest shareholder in Volkswagen, voicing their concern about the proposal, because they say it could create an unfair competitive advantage for Peugeot. Everyone in Europe's down market is fighting for every sale, and if Peugeot gets help to keep its auto loan costs down, it figures to help buyers choose Peugeot or Citroën.
2013 Ford Explorer Sport
Thu, 04 Apr 2013When one speaks of sporty and fun-to-drive utility vehicles, few would put the Ford Explorer in the same category as the Jeep Grand Cherokee SRT8, BMW X5 or Porsche Cayenne. Yet, with just a few reservations, I'd toss the new-for-2013 Ford Explorer Sport close to that arena for consideration.
As a recap, the sportiest of Explorers is fitted with Ford's twin-turbocharged 3.5-liter Ecoboost V6, making 365 horsepower and 350 pound feet of torque. Acceleration is brisk (figure about 7 seconds to 60 miles per hour), as power goes to all four wheels through a six-speed automatic transmission. Contributing to its more athletic demeanor are larger front brakes, a sport-tuned suspension, chassis upgrades, quicker steering ratio and a more aggressive wheel/tire package. Cosmetically, the Sport is distinguished by its blacked-out lights, black trim and noticeable lack of chrome (with the exception of the door handles).
Ford recently handed me the keys to a Ruby Red Metallic Explorer Sport. Rather than mindlessly drive the big seven-passenger all-wheel drive hauler in soccer mom circles around Los Angeles, I loaded up my family and embarked on a long weekend road trip to Yosemite National Park.
Ford paying $750 million just to close plant in Belgium
Thu, 21 Mar 2013According to a report from Reuters, Ford is shelling out $750 million in a severance deal that will see the automaker close its facility in Genk, Belgium. The automaker reached this deal with the 4,000 hourly workers employed at the plant last week, which means the company will pay out an average of $187,500 per worker.
Ford is still negotiating with the 300 salaried workers at the factory, which currently produces the Mondeo sedan. All told, Ford expects to lose around $2 billion in Europe thanks in no small part to the region's ongoing economic downturn, and two more plants are scheduled to be shut down in Europe this year. The company will log its $750 million payout under "special items" for this quarter.
As you may recall, Ford took a similar path in the US back in 2009 when the domestic market took a spill. Back then, the company shelled out around $50,000 per employee with at least one year of experience, plus either $25,000 toward a new car or an extra cash payment of $20,000. It would seem the cost of closing plants in Belgium is a much harder pill to swallow than in the States...
