1998 Ford Ranger Ev Electric Vehicle Rangerev on 2040-cars
Pauls Valley, Oklahoma, United States
|
I purchased the 1998 Electric Ranger and a 1994 Chevrolet S10 at an auction in Norman Oklahoma. I have sold the Chevrolet S10 and currently have the Ford Ranger EV for sale. I know I don't have to go into details on how rare the Ranger is, as far as the running condition, I have no idea. I was told they were for research at the University of Oklahoma and when the Professor running the program retired the vehicles stayed parked until the University decided to liquidate them. An insurance verification in the glove box shows it was once owned by Southern California Edison Company in Rosemead California.. Original owners manual and electric information is also in the glove box. Some good questions have been asked since I posted the Ranger this morning: The pictures are current, the store next door with the Gas Sign advertising has been closed for several years and does not reflect current fuel prices. Pictures were taken this morning. The Truck is Complete, missing only Batteries and Charging Cord. Everything under the hood is there except for the 12 volt battery. The Electric Motor is the 3rd member on the rear axle. Truck is equipped with Factory air conditioning, power brakes, am/fm stereo radio, bucket seats, intermittent wipers, heater. Body and Interior are in exceptional condition. |

Does the new 2015 Ford Mustang have a burnout control system?
Tue, 10 Dec 2013Whether it's lane departure warning, blind-spot monitoring or automatic emergency braking, most of the electronic systems we see emerging on new vehicles focus on safety. But there are some there just for enthusiasts. We're talking about systems like automatic throttle blipping for perfect downshifts, or launch control to get that textbook acceleration from a standstill. But the latest system could prove just the opposite of the latter.
Although it has given us most of the details, Ford is still keeping certain elements of its new Mustang secret. But emerging reports may have the skinny on one system which Ford is trying is darnedest to keep under its hat for the time being. That, according to unnamed sources cited by Motor Authority, is burnout control.
The system is reportedly designed to help novices execute the perfect smokey burnout - sort of like launch control, but specifically the opposite. The system could, according to elaborative speculation, lock the front brakes while spooling up the engine to optimal revolutions before dumping (or indicating the driver to do dump) the clutch. A cloud of tire smoke and a long pair of skid marks would then ensue.
Man turns Ford Fiesta into a one-car band
Mon, 18 Nov 2013The one-man band is a rather ridiculous idea, drawing up images of one person attempting to manipulate several instruments, at once, in a vain attempt at creating music. It's usually represented by silly scenes like this. Interestingly, the concept isn't much more successful when the "man" in "one-man band" is replaced with "car," as we see in this video.
It seems that someone rigged up and edited (699 times, we might add) a Ford Fiesta, a bucket, 12 PVC pipes and the natural sounds that a car makes to come up with a song. Now, we don't recognize the tune, so we've no idea if this is a cover or an original piece. And while it's hardly Beethoven, we have to admire the amount of effort the "conductor" went to in his attempt to turn a subcompact car into a musical instrument(s). Take a look (or listen) below for the entire video.
Ford dinged by OSHA for asbestos at Buffalo plant
Sat, 20 Jul 2013Ford has come under fire from the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) for violations regarding asbestos exposure in a company metal stamping plant in Buffalo, NY. OSHA has cited Ford for eight violations in total, according to an Automotive News report, and faces fines of up to $41,800. 537 workers are employed at the stamping facility.
The violations include a pipefitter at the facility being exposed to asbestos-containing material while working on a steam line, other workers exposed to the material without respiratory protection and work areas that were not designed to limited the number of workers in contact with asbestos. Further, areas in which asbestos was present were not properly restricted, and levels of asbestos in the air were not monitored.
According to an unnamed Ford spokesperson in the AN report, the company feels that the OSHA citation is erroneous saying, "We have fully cooperated with the local OSHA officials and we don't believe the citations are warranted." Ford also maintains that it will work with the authorities to resolve the issue.
