1974 CALIFORNIA FORD F350 RANGER XLT 1 TON SUPER CAMPER SPECIAL
NO RESERVE AUCTION
This pickup truck was built and sold new in San Jose California in 1974. Stayed with the original owners for the first 59,000 miles just outside of San Jose in Hollister California, they used it for pulling the horse trailer to shows and camping. In early 2010 I bought the truck from the original owners and removed the very large 70s vintage wood framed camper that was still in the bed and brought the truck to Sacramento California and it has been my daily driver until about three months ago. It comes with the original owners manual, two original Ford sales brochures, frame mount camper hold down bars, original radiator top and bottom tanks with both side straps and radiator core dimensions, original Ford full length floor mat that has always covered the carpet (I will figure out how to add pictures of all of this but I seem to be maxed out at 24 pictures at this time) and all the receipts for the last 30,000 miles that I have had the pleasure of driving this great old machine around town.
It is in original condition other than the parts I have changed to keep her going smoothly. I have reinstalled the original super camper tires and wheels that came with the truck, they are in good usable condition with heavy tread. Some checking of the side walls on the front tires only, the back tires look great. The parts replaced over the last three years are: New starter solenoid, relay switch, radiator, brake booster, Holley 600 carb., fan belts, heater and cooling hoses, thermostat, water pump, idler pulley (had pulley rebuilt as it is unavailable new), distributor cap - rotor - wires, air filter, pcv valve, coil, ignition module, fuel pump, fuel lines, fuel gauge sending unit, heater core, transmission resealed and tested, diff oil and seals, front and rear brakes with new rotors in front turned drums in back, front and back wheel bearings, motor oil and filters.

The dash pad and door panels are very good with no cracks. The cigarette lighter and ash tray look new never used, both the original owners nor I smoke. The radio has been used so little the knobs are still snug and smooth. The body
is in great shape with some minor dents, dings and scratches, the bed is solid
with minor surface rust where the original camper sat in the bed. The wind shield has some rock chips. The paint has some scratches and is fading after some years of California sunshine and the seat has a tear on the drivers side. The air conditioner is complete and original but the clutch squeals and probably needs a new compressor. I have the wire unplugged at the compressor so it can not be powered up by accident. Starts and runs strong. Stone cold the big 460 needs two pumps on the peddle and is running, warm just hit the starter and shes always ready to go.
The truck has the following:
-Factory High Performance 460 V8 / C6 trany / 3.73 Dana 70 Lim. Slip diff. -Correct replacement Holley 600 Carburetor -Factory Edelbrock aluminum high rise intake manifold -Sliding rear window - Power Steering - Power disc brakes -9.5 front and 12.0 rear x16.5 Black Sidewall Tires - Spare Tire & Wheel compartment - Air Conditioner - AM Radio - Western style trailer mirrors - Tinted Glass - Auxiliary Engine oil and Transmission Super Cooling package - Dual Fuel Tanks - Stabilizer Bars front and rear - Painted Pull out Rear Step Bumper - Ranger XLT Package -Original California exhaust emission information window sticker -Original Engine Build and information stickers on both valve covers
This is a 40 year old truck that has always been owned and driven by adults. It is in very solid original condition other than the new fangled aluminum radiator.
On May-31-14 at 16:54:33 PDT, seller added the following information: Finally had a chance to add the picture of the owners manual, two original Ford sales brochures, three parts catalogs for older Ford trucks and all of the receipts for the last three years (actually found some work I had forgotten about). Please see the last picture for the paperwork that will be included along with the original radiator parts and the camper hold down bars. |

Ford talking unibody Ranger replacement
Mon, 18 Feb 2013Now here's some welcome news. Car and Driver reports Ford is seriously mulling a replacement for the recently deceased Ranger, but the successor to the compact pickup's throne may not look anything like what we've seen from the nameplate in the past.
While speaking at the 2013 Chicago Auto Show, Doug Scott, marketing manager for Ford Trucks, said there's still a market for a smaller pickup, but that buyers expect to see a larger differentiation between the smaller utility vehicles and their full size counterparts in price, capability and fuel economy.
According to Scott, that means a vehicle with a payload capacity of around 1,000 pounds paired with a towing capacity of 3,000 pounds and "a dramatic reduction in fuel consumption." But the biggest piece of that recipe is the price tag, and Scott says to keep the MSRP far enough away from the already cheap F-150, the answer could come in the form of a unibody design. Scott says target customers in this market don't care whether the truck has a traditional frame or not, so long as it's tough enough to do the job and has the capability they need.
Ford acquires Livio to bolster connectivity biz
Thu, 26 Sep 2013Ford Motor Company has announced the acquisition of Livio, a Ferndale, MI-based software development company best known for aftermarket in-car connectivity devices, but also as a supplier of technology for proprietary systems for automakers. Livio, co-founded by Sigal and Massimo Baldini, will be a wholly owned subsidiary of Ford Global Technologies.
"With the additional expertise Livio provides us, Ford intends to continue to lead the next generation of in-car connectivity with technology advancements that give consumers more options to access their devices on the go," said Paul Mascarenas, chief technical officer and vice president, Ford Research and Innovation, in a statement.
Ford is clearly trying to beef up its in-house tech capability around telematics and device connectivity. While the Blue Oval has been a leader in these areas with SYNC and MyFord Touch in terms of getting the systems into as many cars as possible, the execution of the applications have been criticized for glitches.
Shelby American cleans house of 14 concept cars
Wed, 25 Jun 2014Typically when an automaker rolls out a concept car or pre-production prototype, it does its tour and then disappears into the company's archives. Maybe it will be displayed for the public to see in the company's own museum or maybe it will spend most of its time under covers in a warehouse somewhere, but every once in a while, an automaker will open up its history and start selling off its concept cars. For Shelby American, "once in a while" has just rolled around.
The House that Carroll Built is moving from its previous headquarters at Las Vegas Motor Speedway to a new facility off of the Las Vegas strip, and in the process is liquidating fourteen of the rarest cars in its collection. That presents a tremendous opportunity for muscle car collectors to bring one or more of these snakes home.
As you might expect, the catalog is composed mostly of Mustangs, but not exclusively. There's a pair of 289 Cobras: the last of the 50th anniversary slab-sided continuation cars and an original development vehicle, offered at $200,000 apiece. At the other end of the spectrum you'll find the 2013 Shelby Raptor concept for $125k and Focus concept for $50k. And of course there are the Mustangs.
