1971 Ford F100 Ranger Short Bed 2wd Pickup
I am selling my "run around" truck and you have the chance to win!! This truck is a very cool and great running yesteryear experience. The 302 V8 runs like a top and with the automatic, just put in drive and go. Starts up first time, everytime and does not need any pressing on accelerator or anything (unless it has been sitting for many days/weeks). Engine looks and sounds great. Has a brand new Distributor and air filter. Nice and peppy engine. Transmission was rebuilt 66,000 miles ago according to some paperwork I found in glove box. Truck spent most of its life in Tennessee according to papers. I just replaced the turn signal "guts" so both work, all lights work (even the interior) and the speedo and odometer works. The gas gauge does not. Radio works and has a very cool aftermarket KMC FM modulator that allows you to listen to FM stations. It works also. Also has a working Oil Pressure gauge mounted under dash. I don't think the Temp gauge works as I have never seen it move very much. The Horn does not work, I tried to get it working when I changed the turn signal cam and I did get it to sound. The issue is that the small brass plug that fits into the cylinder on the wheel is missing. Get a new one and it will work like a charm. The heater also works and blower fan. Also the windshield wipers work as well as the hazard lights. So again, a few things not working but overall for a 43 year old truck it is in great mechanical and working shape. Now to the downside..... There is rust all over. I have spent the time I have had it trying to at least stop the progression by grinding, sanding and putting on rust stop. I also kept the truck inside my shop so has been protected. But, the rust has done damage and you need to take a goo look at the pics before bidding. I have taken pictures of all of the main areas of issue so please review. Cab mounts first and foremost. Both are rotted out and will need to be repaired. I have not and have driven for almost 2 years now no problem, but, I would imagine that soon they will need help. The body of the truck is about 4 different shades of green and gray. Green from the original Boxwood Green Paint and then several different version of primer. The top has been painted a Pearl White along with the wheels. Not a professional paint job but looks cool. I lowered the back end 2 inches with brand new shackles (pictured) and added some little hubcaps to give it a retro look. Guys, this is a shop truck, not a show truck. It has it's issues with rust, but it has never left me stranded and the it is very fun to drive around.
Ok, here is the history of the truck: Built in May of 1971 at the Michigan Plant. Ordered by the Louisville District. Came with what appears to be the engine it has in it now as a 205 HP 8.6:1 Compression 2 barrel 302 V8. 3 Speed C4 Automatic transmission with a 3.25 real axle. Came Wimbledon White over Boxwood Green in the Ranger trim package. Got this from decoding the VIN. I assume all is still the same except the "varied" colors now.
The interior is in good condition but the seat cover is torn on the drivers side. The original seat cover is underneath and it looks like this was a custom padded seat cover put on by an upholstery shop at some point. Good ole crushed velvet. The drivers side floor pan has been replaced as it was rusted out (done before me). The previous owner I bought it from did the following work: All new Wheel Cylinders New Timing Chain Carb was rebuilt As mentioned, I have added a brand new Distributor and muffler since.
Take a look at the pics, it is a ratty old truck but I like the look and with the stance now corrected in the rear being lowered, looks good. By the way, all of the Glass is good, does have some foggyness toward the bottom of the windsheild but no problems. Windows roll up and down and the door locks work also. A good solid foundation and with some body work could really be a neat truck. Truck has a clear Oklahoma title in my name and is currently tagged through July of 2015. Good luck and let me know if you have any questions. Winning bidder will need to pay a $500.00 deposit via Paypal within 24 hrs of auction closing, the balance in cash or wire within 7 days and pickup from my location in Oklahoma. I will help with loading if necessary. You could also fly in and drive it home it you want, I will pick you up at airport. I would trust it to drive cross country. Thanks all.

Bill Ford says carsharing helps Ford, EVs need to be clean
Mon, Sep 8 2014To most people, Bill Ford is most famous for being the great-grandson of Henry Ford. But, as the executive chairman of Ford Motor Company, Ford has also been leading the company into greener and greener territory. At the morning plenary session for the 21st World Congress on Intelligent Transport Systems (ITS) in Detroit today, Ford discussed a wide variety of topics, including connected cars (of course), plug-in vehicle and how Ford's collaboration with Zipcar came about because of he liked what the Zipcar CEO was excited about getting cars off the road. Given that the conference has a big focus on communication between cars this year, it's no surprise that Ford talked about his company's work on that front. He's looking at the long term, though, and says that despite announcements like the one General Motors made yesterday about Super Cruise, when fully autonomous vehicles get here, it won't be headline news since the ground work is being laid by technologies coming to cars in bits and pieces now. In other words, your adaptive cruise control is getting ready for bigger and better things. "My fear is that we electrify the fleet and our impact is not what it could be." – Bill Ford On the zero-emission vehicle front, Ford said that while he's in favor of electric vehicles, "My fear is that we electrify the fleet and our impact is not what it could be." He was discussing the emissions reality of coal-powered electricity, and said that, "We've got to have a national discussion about what we want our grid to look like." As for the work that Ford is doing with Zipcar (which is just one of the many automaker carsharing operations out there today), Ford said that he first approached Zipcar CEO Scott Griffith after hearing Griffith talk at a green conference four or five years ago. Griffith was surprised, Ford said, because he had just given a talk about ways to reduce car ownership. "Did you hear my speech? I talked about taking cars off the road," Ford remembers Griffith saying. "Yeah, and what's going to happen without us," Ford responded. Today, the partnership allows Ford to get cars to people that have traditionally been "hard to reach," like college students on campuses. Ford's vehicles are currently available on 250 colleges campuses. Ford then spoke favorably about other challenges to the traditional car ownership model, like Lyft and Relay Rides. "Rather than being frightened by that, we need embrace it and help makes their companies better," he said.
Ford opens the doors on its Swedish rally skunkworks
Fri, 19 Sep 2014It's always amazing to see how different kinds of racecars are made. Formula One racers are often constructed in modern architectural marvels that hint at some of the cutting-edge technology going into the racing. Conversely, rallying is all about sliding around on a varied course as fast as possible, but it often leaves a vehicle caked in mud. So it makes some sense Olsbergs MSE, or simply (OMSE) rally car shop in Nynashamn, Sweden, shows technological sophistication in a more down-to-earth setting. It builds Ford Fiesta ST racers for Global Rallycross there, and this new video gives viewers a tour through the work.
Former rally driver Andreas Eriksson runs OMSE. These days instead of racing, he and the company's 46 employees are building Ford racers from scratch. A ton of work goes into constructing each one, and according to Eriksson, it takes 400 hours to complete each body. At times, things are so busy that some of the technicians live in the shop in apartments that are on premises. There's even a restaurant to keep them fed. Sadly the dyno room is empty during this visit, though.
By the time OMSE is done, a rallycross car might resemble a Fiesta ST on the outside, but as you see in the video, it's a completely different beast underneath. Check out the work it takes to build one of them, and scroll down to read more about it in the official release.
