1975 Ford F-100 Xlt Ranger 4x2 ((low Miles)) ***survivor*** on 2040-cars

Year:1975 Mileage:10347
Location:

 This is it!!!  A virtual time capsule!!  A true survivor in GREAT shape for a 39 year old truck!!  This is the one you've been looking for!  All of the green paint appears to be original, some of the white has been repainted.  It does not appear to have had any rust repair.  The pictures show some minor paint "bubbling".  Also, the truck has some hail damage mainly isolated to the hood.  I'm not sure if the hail shows in the pictures.  Even inside the bed of the truck is very good with normal scratches but no rust!!  Tailgate is nice, the trim around the truck has some dings etc but the body shows no dents.  Pretty good for surviving almost 40 years!!  The interior is very nice.  The seat is firm and not broken down, there is however some rips in the driver's area of the seat...as you can see.  Nice door panels with some minor warping. Original headliner that's a little warped also.  Dash is excellent with NO cracks or discolorations!!

Options:  390 V8...C6 automatic, factory AC.  It is unknown if the AC works, the compressor is not frozen up.  High line trim package XLT Ranger.  Factory box side tool box.  Please note: The lock is frozen and the door hasn't been opened for YEARS.

Mechanically the truck starts, runs and drives very nice.  The cab is tight with very minimal air leaks.  It's amazing how tight this truck is after all these years!!  Underneath, the truck has some normal seepage around the oil pan, but it's also amazingly dry underneath!!!

The truck has 110,000 actual miles. The listing required the exact 5 digits, so the miles have turned over 100,000.

Any questions??  If you have any I prefer phone calls as I don't check my email regularly. So for a faster response to any questions just give me a call.  Tom 402-650-3849

The fine print:  The reserve is set far below the $5000. mark!!  I feel it's a fair number to allow anyone to own this very nice 1975 F-100.  The winning bidder to send a $500. non-refundable deposit via Paypal within 48 hours end of auction.  The balance to be paid in the form of certified bank funds, bank to bank wire transfer or cash at the time of pick up FOB Omaha, Nebraska. The truck is sold in AS-IS WHERE-IS CONDITION!!  This is a 39 year old truck and I've done my best to honestly describe it's condition and runability.  BID TO OWN...BUT BID ONLY IF YOU FULLY INTEND TO FOLLOW THROUGH WITH THE TRANSACTION...PLEASE!!!

Again...any questions call me anytime!!  Thanks!!

Ford F-150 SVT Raptor sales jumping to new heights

Thu, 12 Sep 2013

Ford can't seem to build F-150 SVT Raptors fast enough. The off-road-ready trucks have been one of the Blue Oval's most reliable sellers, with record sales in eight of the last 10 months and a 14-percent jump in 2013. That's impressive enough, considering that the least expensive Raptor starts at $44,000. Factor in the modded F-150's fuel economy (it's rated at 11 miles per gallon in the city and 16 on the highway) and a national average gas price, as of this writing, of $3.55 per gallon, and its success is as unlikely as Ford's home team, the Detroit Lions, winning the Super Bowl this year (sorry, Lions fans, we're just quoting the experts in Vegas...).
Yet for some reason, Raptors spend an average of just 15 days on dealer lots before being snapped up, which is a quarter of the 60-day industry average. According to Ford's truck group marketing manager, Doug Scott, it's capability that keeps the Raptor selling strong. "What's helping drive Raptor sales is that Raptor delivers unmatched off-road performance to our customers. Raptor is also proof of our commitment to offer a truck for every customer and continuously improving them to meet our customers' evolving needs."
To address the strong demand for Raptors, Ford will bump production from three trucks per hour to five. Not much, we agree. But building an extra 48 trucks per day, at most, seems like a prudent way of addressing demand without oversaturating what is ultimately a niche market. Check out the press release below for more.

Ford Transit Skyliner Concept does discreet luxury in NYC

Thu, 17 Apr 2014

There's something to be said for luxed-out vans. They're cool, and as a means of getting chauffeured about, they're extremely comfortable and far more low key than your typical executive luxury sedan. For the 2014 New York Auto Show, Galpin Auto Sports has shown the potential of the new-for-the-US Ford Transit as an ultra-luxurious people hauler.
The Transit Skyliner Concept, which we previewed last week, sports four finely crafted captain's buckets that can be moved into different formations based on need. Want to watch a movie? The seats can be swung around to face a 52-inch screen. Riding along with some business associates? A table can be popped up. There's even a configuration for tailgating.
The materials are, unsurprisingly, pretty plush. The leather seats and wood floors (yes, wood floors in a van) look great, while the trunk and its customized luggage are a nice touch, as well.
