You are bidding on an original paint 1975 Ford F100 Ranger XLT. I purchased this in Feb. 2011 with the intention of restoring it back to original. I drove it daily for a little over a year and then just used it when I needed to haul parts. Due to the present workload of customer cars I have decided to sell several vehicles that I bought to restore and this is one of them. It is an excellent basis for a full restoration or you can fix a number of small items that I will describe and drive it as a survivor. I do not see any evidence of collision and that paint is consistent over the truck which leads me to believe it has never had any portion repainted. The white portion of the paint is dull but will buff up a little - but remember it is 38 years old. The yellow portion is a little better and does buff out pretty well. It has a nice patina and makes it fun to drive on cruises, etc. The truck does need several things to bring it up to a nice standard. I will try to list them all. Since I purchased the truck I have replaced the following: Carburetor, distributor, fuel pump, oil pressure light switch, headlight dimmer switch, battery, EGR valve, spark plugs, spark plug wires, master cylinder, wheels and tires. Many of the parts were still functioning fine, but driving the truck daily, I wanted to head off any problems. I have also purchased several parts that I have not yet installed. When I bought the truck, the previous owner had wired a toggle switch into the heater fan because the in-dash fan had gone bad. I purchased a new switch, but have not taken the time to install it yet. I would suggest doing this soon. The toggle switch is not rated for the current drawn by the fan and it and the wires get hot after a few minutes. I have a new interior light and lens that I will send with the truck. The truck has a 390 V8. It was originally equipped with a 360, but was told by the previous owner that when that engine wore out they installed a Jasper rebuilt 390 at somewhere around 110,000 miles. Supposedly at the same time the transmission was rebuilt, but I doubt it was rebuilt or I would have some concern about the rebuild. The truck does not always shift correctly and acts like there is a vacuum leak in the modulator. I think the torque converter may be dragging. The front seal is also leaking. Despite the transmission issues I would not hesitate to drive the truck daily again. I would suggest the new owner go through the transmission, especially checking for vacuum leaks and replacing the front seal and torque converter. Other issues, the air conditioning is probably low on freon, but with the bad fan switch I have not tried it. I prefer the windows down anyway. One or both rear wheel cylinders is leaking. The fuel gauge is not working at the moment, it quit a couple of weeks ago. I think it might be a loose wire or bad ground. There is a minor water leak around the windshield. I was going to replace the gasket when I repainted the truck, but that hasn't happened yet. The seat needs recovering, it has evidently been recovered once as the upholstery is not original. The driver side sunvisor is missing part of the rod that clips into place at the center of the roof, so that end just dangles around, but it does stay in place. The truck has very little rust. You can see where it is starting to appear around the rear wheel openings. There is surface rust in the bed, but no rust through. There is some rust inside the driver's side of the hood. It hasn't worked it's way through the outside yet. There is a small dent in the right front fender where the previous owner misjudged a fence post while backing a boat. Overall, for a 38 year old truck, it is in very good condition. As I indicated, it would make an excellent basis for a full restoration. Someone who has the mechanical ability could fix all of the issues with the truck relatively quickly and without a great deal of expense. They are only original once and trucks like this are getting hard to find. This truck is being offered for local pick up only. I will not ship. Also a $500 deposit is required within 48 hours of the auction end. I also have this truck for sale locally and reserve the right to end the auction early.

2016 Ford Focus RS may yet be AWD, US sales likely

Fri, 29 Aug 2014

When it comes to forbidden fruit, few vehicles are spoken of in as hushed a tone as the Ford Focus RS. The turbocharged, five-cylinder hot hatch could only be seen from afar by American customers as it tore up the roads of Europe. And while it's safe to say that Ford's Yankee fans are quite happy to now be on equal footing with drivers in the old country thanks to the Focus ST, we doubt there'd be much protestation over a successor to the RS arriving stateside.
Of course, we've seen images of the new RS undergoing testing, but a new story by Road and Track aims to fill in some very large blanks in our knowledge of that car, thanks to a pair of mysterious insiders at the Ford. Chief among those is this - the RS will almost certainly make its way to the US, albeit in limited quantities. It gets better, though.
Under hood, the new RS is unsurprisingly expected to borrow the 2.3-liter, turbocharged four-cylinder from the 2015 Ford Mustang and 2015 Lincoln MKC. While that twin-scroll turbo produces 310 horsepower in the Mustang and 285 ponies in the MKC, R&T expects the RS to deliver quite a bit more firepower - 325 to 350 hp, with preference going to the higher output due to the limited-edition nature of the RS. This roughly fits with previous reports.

Ford Mustang Shelby GT350R named Road & Track Performance Car of the Year

Mon, Nov 9 2015

With a 526-horsepower, 5.2-liter V8 that roars to 8,250 rpm, it's really hard to consider the 2016 Ford Shelby Mustang GT350R an underdog in any fight. However, the Shelby held the lowest as-tested price and was only middle of the pack in terms of power in Road & Track's 2016 Performance Car of the Year challenge. The 'Stang's numbers clearly didn't tell the whole story about the potent coupe because Ford's muscle car grabbed the title in this year's test. A model needs to be new or significantly updated to be eligible for the honor, and R&T found an impressive slate of eight candidates this year. The challengers included the Bentley Continental GT3-R, Cadillac ATS-V Coupe, Chevrolet Corvette Z06, Dodge Viper ACR, Mercedes-AMG GT S, and Porsche Cayman GT4. The Ferrari 488 GTB was the most expensive of the bunch with an as-tested price of $347,942, which is five times more than the Shelby. Once the group was together, R&T hustled them over curving roads and on the National Corvette Museum Motorsports Park. There was a lot to love about the Shelby, even in this impressive crew. "With a flat-plane crank and Sport Cup 2 tires, the GT350R is a Mustang turned up to 11," editor-in-chief Larry Webster said in the announcement of the results. The GT350R joins some great company. Past winners include the Porsche 911 GT3 last year and the Corvette in 2013. For some fantastic photography and the complete appraisal of these performance machines check out R&T's website for the full story.

The article appears in the December/January issue, on newsstands November 17, and on RoadandTrack.com. "With a flat-plane crank and Sport Cup 2 tires, the GT350R is a Mustang turned up to 11," said Larry Webster, editor-in-chief of Road & Track. "Not only does the car have soul and harness so much firepower with such ease, but the real achievement here is that it's so approachable. It's a car you can't help but love." The Mustang Shelby GT350R was the winner by a runaway vote.

Ford and 'Dirty Jobs' pitchman Mike Rowe part ways [w/videos]

Thu, 20 Feb 2014

Former Dirty Jobs host Mike Rowe has one less job as of today - the pitchman is no longer a pitchman for Ford, with yesterday's announcement from Rowe ending a seven-year partnership between the TV host and the Blue Oval.
Rowe made the announcement to political pundit Glenn Beck, saying the two are "going in different directions" and wishing Ford "every possibly success that any car company could ever have," according to The Detroit News. Rowe and Ford got together in 2005, right around the time the 51-year-old came to prominence as the host of Dirty Jobs and the narrator for Deadliest Catch, two of the Discovery Channel's most popular shows.
Take a look below for a few video snippets of Rowe's tenure at Ford.
