Prescott Valley, Arizona, United States

1973 F-100 Ranger 4 wheel drive truck. Originally purchased in Berkley CA. has spent most of its life in AZ. I bought this truck with the intent of returning it to a nice driver since I was familiar with its past. I knew one of its previous owners. I just have too many trucks and projects so its got to go. The original engine was a 360. Previous owner claims to have put a 390 crank and rods in it approx. 35,000 miles ago. I cannot verify this and have no idea what other work may have been done at that time. The 2bbl intake was changed to iron 4bbl intake. I recently put an Edelbrock carb on it that was rebuilt about a year ago and used on one of my Chevys. It has been jetted for this elevation and may retuning else where. It has an automatic transmission that shifts well. NP 205 transfer case that shifts well also. High pinion Dana 44 front axle with power drum brakes and power steering. Rear is a 9" with Nodular third member and Trac Loc. Ratio is 3:50. I just installed good used set of chrome spoke wheels and 33" tires. I believe the camper shell and extra fuel tank were dealer installed items when purchased new. Truck also has fact A/C which actually works. I think it needs charged some, its not real cold. A Crane Fireball electronic ignition was also installed by previous owner. Since my purchase I have replaced the brake master cyl. ign. switch carburetor and tires and wheels. All glass is good. Body is mostly straight except where pictured. Body is completely rust free as far as I can tell. No rust found. Original paint is poor from sitting under a tree. Inside of the bed is exceptional for an old pickup with only a few dents and surface rust. Interior is fair. Drivers side of the seat is damaged. Dash pad has some cracks but has a cover on it. Door panels aren't too bad but has a few screws hold them on instead of clips. All gauges seem to work except for oil pressure but an after market gauge has been installed. Engine runs well and has decent power. I haven't noticed any smoke. Runs cool, 60-80psi oil pressure. Great restoration or good driver. I believe the 88779 miles to be correct and original but cannot verify that. Note: I have the missing windshield trim and is included.

Thu, 05 Dec 2013Here at Autoblog, we've officially stamped December 5, 2013, as Ford Mustang Day. Sure, the sixth-generation Pony Car started leaking out onto the web days ago, but all of the official, non-embargoed hotness has come out today. And man, there's been a lot.
In terms of new car debuts, this is a really big one - not unlike all of the Corvette madness that kicked off the 2013 automotive season. So to make sure you haven't missed anything, here's a wrap-up of everything you need to know about the 2015 Ford Mustang.
Deep Dive: 2015 Ford Mustang
Ford wins second consecutive International Van of the Year award with Transit Connect
Wed, 18 Sep 2013The redesigned 2014 Ford Transit Connect isn't even on sale yet, but it's already making its presence felt around the world. At a commercial vehicle expo in Russia, the Transit Connect was named the International Van of the Year.
Ford's small work van edged out the new Mercedes-Benz Sprinter by just seven points to allow Ford to grab this honor for the second consecutive year, which it won last year with the Transit Custom. Not only does this make Ford the first to ever win the award in back-to-back years, but it's also the fifth time the automaker has won this award since 2003 (two with the Transit Connect, two with the fullsize Transit and once with the Transit Custom). Ford congratulates itself for the accomplishment in a press release posted below.
Ford taken to task by gov't for Chicken Tax end-around
Mon, 23 Sep 2013Ford is in a bit of a pickle for importing and selling Turkey-built Transit Connect cargo vans as passenger vehicles in the US, then converting them to commercial-vehicle specification stateside in an effort to bypass a 25-percent tax imposed on vehicles imported for commercial use. Automakers are required to pay a 2.5-percent tax on imported passenger vehicles.
The Blue Oval got into trouble for this in a January ruling in which U.S. Customs and Border Protection officials asked Ford to stop the practice of importing the Transit Connect vehicles with passenger seats, then removing and shredding them. Now Automotive News reports that Ford is appealing the ruling. The 25-percent "Chicken Tax," as the tariff is often called, is 50 years old and was enacted as a response to a German tariff on chickens. Like Ford, Chrysler bypasses the higher tariff, but it does so in a different manner. It partially disassembles Sprinter cargo vans before shipping them to the US, then rebuilds them at a plant in South Carolina.
But the ruling against Ford's strategy states that it "serves no manufacturing or commercial purpose" and is there to "manipulate the tariff schedule," Automotive News reports. As Ford's appeal goes through, it is importing the Transit Connect and paying the higher tax, hoping for a favorable outcome and planning to build the next-generation Transit Connect, which it plans to launch before the end of the year, in Spain.
