1970 Ford f100 Ranger

Transmission---3 speed on the column

Brakes---manual drum

Steering---manual

Complete body-off restoration. We bought this F100 from the original owner with no intentions of doing a restoration. We were just going to clean it up a little. After realizing how solid this truck was we decided to restore it. We removed the body and bed and had the inside and under-side of the bed media blasted. The inside floor of the bed was extremely solid with just some light pitting. The underside was just as nice. The lower sides in front of and behind the tires were perfect with only a couple of pin-holes that showed up after the blasting. The floor of the cab was solid with only a small spot on the drivers floor that had began to show signs of rust. I removed the spot and replaced it with a 6"x6" patch (didn't really need it but did it anyway). We had the entire truck sanded and repainted the original Boxwood Green. We painted the underside of the bed but left the cab underside original. You can still see some of the original paint on the bottom of the cab. The body panels had no dents (other than a couple of small dings) so no body filler needed to be used other than a light skim-coat to make sure everything was smooth. We wanted to use as many of the original parts as we could so we only replaced the body-side molding and the front hood lip molding. The front grill, window chrome, emblems and all the glass is original to the truck. The truck has the complete original interior (still has the original FoMoCo rubber mat) except for a dash cover. The seat has a few small splits in the stitching (as you can see in the pictures) but we did not replace it because you cannot find the original material. The AM radio still works. The cigarette lighter doesn't look like it has ever been used. We replaced all the window and door rubbers. We put 8" wheels with bands and dog dish caps to give the truck a little better look. We replaced all 4 shocks, both rear leaf springs and some bushings to help with the ride. The engine is original to the truck and runs and sounds great. I put a new head gasket and intake gasket on the engine and that was all I had to do to the engine.

This is a very solid and great running truck. This is not a $25000 restoration but if you are looking for a great truck that will turn heads and you will be proud to drive then this is the truck for you. I have tried to describe in detail as much as I can. I am sure I have left something out but I don't like to "over sell" something. Let the pictures tell you the rest.

Ford considering return to Le Mans with new EcoBoost LMP2

Mon, 21 Jul 2014

If you want to see a Ford racing prototype, you need look no further than the United SportsCar Championship, where the Blue Oval fields two Daytona Prototypes powered by an EcoBoost-branded 3.0-liter twin-turbo V6. But according to the latest rumors, that may not be enough for Ford, which has as much brand to promote overseas as it does back home.
That could be why Racer magazine is reporting that Ford may be poised to return to Le Mans in the coming years. As we all know, Ford competed at Le Mans in the mid-through-late '60s, bringing home four consecutive overall wins with the legendary GT40. The new program would not, according to Racer, seek to relive those glory days, but would instead compete for class wins in the LMP2 category.
Currently, LMP2 regulations are somewhat split between the United SportsCar Championship in North America on the one hand and ACO-sanctioned series like the European Le Mans Series, Asian Le Mans Series and FIA World Endurance Championship on the other, but plans are underway for the regulations to be unified in time for the 2017 season. That could be when Ford is targeting its return, allowing it to compete on both sides of the Atlantic to maximize its exposure.

2013 Shelby GT350

Fri, 31 May 2013

Shelby is a name as synonymous with the Ford Mustang as marshmallows are with campfires. But unlike the short-lived sugary confection that is prepared on a stick, the late Carroll Shelby's name on the placard means added performance and exclusivity. Launched in 1965, the automaker's celebrated early cars were in production for a limited run - today, a mint concours-quality 1965 Shelby GT350 can sell for upwards of $350,000.
To coincide with the 45th anniversary of the original Shelby GT350, Shelby American reintroduced the GT350 in 2011. Like the original, it was only offered in white with blue stripes. Customers were offered a choice between naturally aspirated (440 horsepower) and two levels of supercharging (525 horsepower with a warranty or 624 horsepower without). The manufacturer calls the GT350 a "post-title" package, a term that means it starts out life as a stock Mustang and is modified outside Ford's factory (this is in contrast to the Shelby GT500, which is a standard Ford production car).
As the GT350 enters its third year, Shelby has made several changes. Mechanically, Wilwood brakes replace Baer units and Recaro seats and a tinted glass roof are on the options list. Cosmetically, the vehicle is now offered in most of the Blue Oval's factory colors, new multispoke wheels are available in Satin Black or Bright Silver Metallic finish, and customers can choose between Satin Black, Silver or Gloss White stripes (or Azure Blue Metallic on Performance White or Ingot Silver). Aesthetically, the look of the car has also changed somewhat - keen eyes will note that it actually appears more 'stock' than it did last year.

Last 2014 Ford Shelby GT500 Convertible nets $500k for charity at Barrett-Jackson [w/video]

Tue, 13 Aug 2013

The last 2014 Ford Shelby GT500 Convertible was sold on Saturday at a Barrett-Jackson auction in Reno, Nevada, for $500,000. Ford donated the Mustang to be auctioned for charity, and all of the money is going to the Brain Injury Association of America.
Parnelli Jones, winner of the 1963 Indianapolis 500, was there on behalf of the BIAA with his son Page, who suffered a brain injury in a sprint car crash in 1994. The bidding increased quickly, reaching $500k in no time, spreading a bit more hope to people who live with brain injuries.
The winning bidder will be able to choose the GT500's exterior, interior and stripe colors, and is scheduled to receive the car, signed by Parnelli Jones in appreciation for the donation, by the end of 2013. Watch the video below to see the auction-block action.
