For Sale By:owner
Engine:302
Drive Type: Rear
Make: Ford
Mileage: 88,223
Model: F-100
Trim: Ranger XLT
Here is a all original truck that I purchased from the original family. Practically a one owner vehicle purchased brand new in Georgia. I was told the truck sat mostly covered up until its later days. And I was told that the truck had 88,223 original miles! Factory installed 302 with a 3 speed manual transmission. I could not find any rust in the truck except for the typical passenger side inner fender where the battery sits, and under the hood on the passenger side only. You can not see the rust in the hood when hood is closed. Absolutely no rust in the bed, floors, mounts etc.. all looks great. The truck has been sitting for 4 years not driven due to previous owner wanting to update engine a little with a 4 bb carb and intake. He got started with putting brand new 302 heads, purchasing aluminum intake and new rebuilt holley carb and full gasket set and then lost interest. The heads are bolted down and look completely done only lacking to install intake, carb , valve covers, etc.. I do have all these parts along with the original intake and carb if you want to put back to original. Oil looks good and motor does turn over. I have the intake and carb just sitting on top of the engine currently. I truly believe a good weekend on this truck and you will be driving again. All chrome is present and intact, along with all the interior. The seat belts still have the original wrapper on seat belts from the factory. Carpet is actually still in good shape just needs to be cleaned . This is a extremely nice truck that has very little rust to speak of. If your looking for a solid truck to start with and a really small project, this is the one for you. Selling at a no reserve so bid to win and good luck!

Fiat boss Elkann being mentored by... Bill Ford?
Tue, 26 Mar 2013Fiat Chairman John Elkann has been turning to an unusual source for advice on the car business. While speaking during an interview with The Detroit News, Elkann said he often asks Bill Ford Jr. for advice on how to proceed with the turnaround at Chrysler. "It's great to have the opportunity to share this with someone like Bill, who has experienced many things and gone through many things ... especially linked to Detroit." Elkann said.
As the Agnelli family heir, Elkann has inherited a long and fruitful friendship with the Ford family. While Giovanni Agnelli built his first Fiat four years before Henry Ford created his first vehicle, it was Ford that showed Agnelli the benefits of mass production and helped pave the way for what would become the Fiat empire.
Giovanni's grandson, Gianni, helped mentor Bill Ford when he was elected chairman of Ford Motor Company. Now, Ford is returning the favor by helping Elkann navigate the automotive industry's tumultuous waters.
Ford Police Interceptor with 2.0L EcoBoost rated most fuel-efficient police sedan
Tue, 26 Nov 2013Back in September, Ford announced a non-pursuit version of its Police Interceptor Sedan, which swaps out a choice of two V6 engines for a fuel-efficient 2.0-liter EcoBoost inline four-cylinder. This Special Service Police Sedan will be marketed to law enforcement agencies looking to cut fuel costs and don't need the extra power.
For college campuses, detectives and the like, this new police car has now been certified with EPA fuel economy estimates of 20 miles per gallon in the city, 32 mpg on the highway and a combined rating of 24 mpg. These figures represent a decrease of two mpg in city and combined ratings compared to the civilian-spec 2014 Taurus. These police cars still offer active grille shutters for better aerodynamics, although we're guessing agencies upfitting their cars with light bars and push bumpers aren't exactly concerted with aerodynamics. The true benefit of the SSP version is when it's compared against other police sedan options like the Dodge Charger, Chevy Impala, Chevy Caprice and even the V6 Police Interceptor Sedan.
Ford claims the new Police Interceptor Sedan SSP is the most fuel-efficient current option for police departments, saying that this car can save $1,720 per car over three years and almost $260,000 over the same span of time for fleets with 150 vehicles. There is an official press release posted below, and also check out the gallery of images from Ford collected from various police agencies across the US (although none show the 2.0-liter SSP model). Head on over to Ford's Police Interceptor mini-site for even more pictures of the Police Interceptor Sedan and Utility.
Ford Australia pulls the ol' talking car prank
Mon, 07 Apr 2014Siri from Apple has proven that being able to talk to your technology doesn't always work perfectly. But what if it could eventually go far enough to give a personality to inanimate objects like our cars? Ford took just this path to comedic effect by playing a prank on many unsuspecting Australians, in a new commercial for its EcoSport compact crossover.
The Aussies seem very nonchalant about having a random parked car talk to them, and they seem surprisingly game when it asks them to get in, call a celebrity and tell a joke. (We're guessing there are some hilarious outtakes, too.) Scroll down to watch some folks from Down Under have a conversation with Ford's CUV.
