2006 Ford Ranger XLT super cab 4 x 4 automatic 4.0L with power locks, mirrors, and windows, sliding rear window, air conditioning, and cruise control. 

This truck started out as a 2001.  I bought it back in 04 and loved it.  When it started getting old and tired. I found a really nice wrecked loaded 2006 with nice wheels and good tires. I lifted the cab off of the 01 and put it on the frame, suspension, drivetrain, and motor of the 06. Then I changed out all the interior to the 06. So the cab, doors, fenders, hood, grill, bumpers and title are 2001 everything else, all the mechanical, suspension, electrical, interior, and side view mirrors (the new model mirrors were larger and so much nicer) are 2006 with 101k. 

I drove it for about 6 months as is with the primer. But I got busy and never got around to finishing it. The top of the cab had started to peel so I took it down to metal and shot it with epoxy. The front end had some wind damage so I sanded it all out and primered it and I took out all the little dings and dents that happened over the years to cherry it out.  All the body work has been completed and the final coat of primer is ready to be sanded along with the rest of the truck and then painted. I was going to do a three stage using the original white as the base so I didn't have to jam it and one of the nice pearls on new vehicles. It is a great truck with lots of power and a great deal for a person looking to get some sweat equity and possible a custom paint job. Clean title.  I included a picture of the sticker on the motor showing its manufacture date.

2015 Ford Mustang Convertible to recreate Empire State Building stunt

Tue, 25 Mar 2014

It would have been all too easy to miss the auto show debut of the 2015 Ford Mustang convertible. It was, after all, unveiled alongside its fixed-roof counterpart at the Detroit Auto Show this past January, lumping coupe and cabrio into one debut. But Ford is evidently still intent on making its new droptop stand out. The top of the Empire State Building ought to do the trick.
Automotive history buffs may recall that, 50 years ago, Ford unveiled its first Mustang convertible atop what was then the tallest building in the world, that Art Deco icon of the New York skyline. Half a century later, Ford is recreating the feat and bringing the new topless Mustang to the same observation deck on the building's 86th floor.
Getting it up there, of course, will be no easy task. While they'd usually airlift the vehicle onto the roof or lift it by crane, the spire protruding from atop the building makes approaching the narrow observation deck too dangerous, and no mobile crane can telescope the thousand-plus feet it would take to get the pony car up there.

Ford C-Max Solar Energi takes a recharging station wherever it goes

Wed, 08 Jan 2014

Companies ranging in size from small startups to major automakers have been experimenting with solar-powered charging stations for EVs and plug-in hybrids. And, of course, people have been powering vehicles with onboard solar panels for quite some time, too. Still, Ford's new C-Max Solar Energi Concept shows the promise of a truly practical implementation of solar on a production vehicle, and it may not be as far off in the future as we had thought.
As we reported a few days ago, the Solar concept makes use of a "concentrator lens" that focuses sunlight onto the Ford's roof-mounted solar panels. The special lens follows the rays of the sun to maximize the amount of charge being fed to the batteries of the car, taking about a day to fully charge the 21-mile, all-electric range of the C-Max Energi. Ford data suggests that combination might be enough to power 75 percent of all trips made by a statistically average driver. In turn, using the sun to power a vehicle could reduce yearly C02 emissions by up to four metric tons when compared with the driver of an average gasoline-powered sedan.
We've got live images of the C-Max Solar Energi Concept, jauntily tilted on its display to best present it's signature solar panels, straight from the CES floor.

Ford C-Max, Fusion hybrids subject of MPG lawsuit in California

Fri, 01 Mar 2013

A California lawsuit over the fuel economy claims for the 2013 Ford C-Max was first reported back in December. Based on the numerous reports we've heard of disgruntled owners failing to get their car's EPA fuel economy ratings on the C-Max and 2013 Fusion Hybrid, we suspected there would be more to this story. The Detroit News is reporting that two California law firms are combining their lawsuits against Ford on this matter for "false and misleading" claims.
The article states that there are hundreds of C-Max and Fusion Hybrid owners who have joined the lawsuit, but the issue isn't limited to customers. In December, Consumer Reports extensively tested both the Fusion Hybrid and C-Max and found that both hybrids performed significantly worse than their EPA claims. This all comes just a few months after Hyundai and Kia took the unprecedented step of lowering the fuel economy ratings for all of their 2012 and 2013 model-year vehicles.
