1977 Ford F-100 Ranger "free Wheelin'" Ultra-rare on 2040-cars
Year:1977
Mileage:88244

Ankeny, Iowa, United States

I am selling an ultra-rare 1977 Ford F-100 Ranger that has the exclusive Free Wheelin' package. This vehicle has 88K (I was informed that it was the original miles, but the owner's daughter didn't have any of the documentation to verify this statement, although I believe it) miles. It also has the original factory paint and decals. The inside is amazing and is original as well. It is a 302 V8, automatic that runs good w/no blue smoke when it starts.
The vehicle is factory original except: The rear rims (I don't know why the original owner changed them, maybe because he thought it looked sportier???), break pads, tune-up parts (cap, rotor, wires). I put in a new gas tank, sending unit, fuel pump, fuel filter and blew out the fuel lines because the vehicle sat in a garage for a long time not being driven. I also tuned it up, changed the oil and flushed the radiator. The original owner has passed, but his son-in-law put in a new battery. The Ford was a garage find and I am the second owner. I would say it is rust free, but some sticklers would find surface rust on the underbody. I can assure all buyers that it is 99% rust free with no real rust spots, holes or filler/bondo. It is very, very clean. The engine department is pretty clean, not showroom, but pretty darn clean (see pictures). The body on the vehicle is not perfect, but it is in really good shape for the age of the vehicle. There are some small scratches that could probably be buffed out and a few that probably can not be be buffed out. There are a few very small dents, but you would have to look pretty hard to find them. It has the factory push-bar and fog lights (that work). It also has a factory bug guard and mud flaps. The windows roll down easily and the back window opens and closes too. The pickup used to have a factory topper, but the deceased original owner's son in law informed me that it leaked. There is still some adhesive where the topper connected, but it left the bed in amazing condition. No rust in bed or in the tailgate. The AM/FM radio works as well. The interior is in absolutely amazing condition for its age. It is all original and has no cracks in the dash, no ripped seat or torn carpet. The only thing that detracts from it is that a grandchild must have put a "my name is" sticker on the glove box. I believe it would come off pretty easy with some "Goo-Gone". Please view all the pictures and the video. I can send more pics or videos upon request. I wanted to show everything to verify that I believe this vehicle is truly an 88K gem that was garaged and babied. I apologize for the quality of the video. It is in high definition, but I am no cinematographer. The video is shaky, I didn't know whether to get close or stay back, there is annoying outside air, etc. I tried and I can do it again for serious buyers who have specific requests. This vehicle turns heads everywhere it goes. You do not see anything like this on the road and you will have an impossible task of trying to find one as nice as this online ever again. I believe they only made the Free Wheelin' Ford option in 1977 and 1978. I have researched it and have added a few pictures from brochures and online. This vehicle is sold AS IS and I always suggest that a potential buyer have it inspected. It is only $80 to $100 dollars to do so. This vehicle is absolutely awesome and I hate to see it go. I am selling it because it doesn't fit in my garage and something this nice needs to be garaged (I have included pictures of it not fitting in my garage at the end of the photos). 1972 and earlier trucks have been the craze, but I can assure you that the new trend is 73-79. Trucks that are 73-79 have been going for $10K and much more at the Mecum's auctions (you can research this on the Mecum website). Something this rare will be an investment. I wanted to see what my 1975 Chevy Blazer would go for at Mecum's Auction Des Moines two years ago. I was offered $19.5K for it. I am a private seller that only searches out unique cars. I sell about 2 a year and you can review my positive eBay feedback. Please do not bid on this item unless you want to buy it. I am hard working guy and I would appreciate not having to list it again. It is for sale in Iowa locally and I reserve the right to end the auction early if I get the right price. Shipping will be the buyer's responsibility and the vehicle will have to be picked up in Des Moines. I am willing to take it to a shipping hub in Des Moines or meeting you in town if you are driving it back. If you are shipping it I usually use Dependable Auto-shippers because they can guarantee 2-week delivery upon request. Brokers can take up to a month if you use them (and it will be sitting outside unfortunately). This vehicle has a clean/clear title in my name. I will only accept PayPal or a confirmed money transfer into my account. No other methods are acceptable, so please do not ask if I will take a check or money order. Please email me or call me if you have any specific questions. Sorry for the book, but I wanted to be as detail oriented as possible. Ask me about the video |

2015 F-150 launch to curb Ford profits?
Thu, 30 Jan 2014Ford is making a big bet on aluminum with its new 2015 F-150, and it's possible that the decision will hurt the company financially, at least in the short term. After earning a record $8.6 billion in 2013, the Blue Oval does not expect to set another record in 2014. According to Automotive News, that's "largely attributable to F Series," says Bob Shanks, Ford's Chief Financial Officer.
To retool for the new F-150, Ford will idle its Dearborn Truck Plant in Michigan for 11 weeks and the Ford Kansas City Assembly Plant in Missouri for 2 weeks. "3 of the 13 overall weeks occur during what normally is our summer shutdown timeframe," said Mike Levine, Ford Trucks Communication Manager, in an email to Autoblog. The extra 10 weeks will be preparing for the more aluminum-intensive construction for the trucks and will mean over 2 months of no F-150s being made. For comparison's sake, Chrysler boss Sergio Marchionne just confirmed that the 200 plant in Sterling Heights, MI will be down for 30 days to retool for the new model, but obviously there are many more F-150 production variables than for the midsize sedan.
Levine notes that Ford is already running three shifts at both plants, and says the automaker has plans to ensure that there is adequate supply of the full-size pickups during the retooling process. The company does not want to suffer a shortage of the vehicle that accounted for 31-percent of its 2013 US sales and an even bigger percentage of its profits.
Ford Mustang GT350 drops some camo
Mon, 03 Feb 2014Now that we've poured over the 2015 Ford Mustang in its standard form, it's time to look ahead. We already knew (and heard - literally) that Ford was working on a higher-performance version of its 'Stang to replace the Shelby GT500, and earlier reports have stated that it will simply be called the GT350.
We don't have a ton of detail to go on, but this latest set of spy photos clearly shows a hood-mounted air scoop, which suggests a forced-induction powerplant is under the hood. However, this disagrees with earlier reports that the GT350 will be all motor, using a naturally aspirated engine to send massive horsepower to the rear wheels. Our spies also point out the functional vent aft of the front wheels to allow for better airflow, and the massive quad exhaust pipes can be seen, clear as day.
Expect to see the Mustang GT350 in April, when it debuts at the New York Auto Show in conjunction with the Pony's 50th anniversary. In the meantime, have a look at our gallery above to see the latest shots of the hot Mustang out testing.
Forza Motorsport 6's new drivable Hot Wheels cars are the best
Tue, May 3 2016Each month, Turn 10 Studios releases a new car pack for the latest installment of its Forza Motorsport video game. Sometimes that means less-than-exciting stuff coming to our Xbox Ones – BMW X6M, bleh – but this time our inner seven-year-old is beyond ecstatic. Two of the seven cars are based on actual Hot Wheels models. And. They're. Awesome. First we have the 2011 Hot Wheels Bone Shaker. Yes, there are flames on the side. And yes, there's a giant skull where the grille should be. This one came from the imagination of "Mr. Hot Wheels" Larry Wood, whose design was so popular it inspired an actual real-world creation. Like all good things in this world, it's powered by a small-block Chevy V8. Oh, and it has no roof. This will be a popular one among gamers. The other digitized Hot Wheels creation is a 2005 Ford Mustang. A modest vehicle, sure, but the toy designers have festooned this pony car with a wild paint scheme and the body mods to emphasize it. Originally developed to celebrate the 'Stang's 50th birthday, this Hot Wheels car trades Americana for wild Japanese style. There's just one functioning life-size version of this car in existence as well, but if you look hard, you might be able to find one of the 1:64 scale models that inspired it. Other highlights from this month's car pack include the latest Ford Focus RS – finally time to replace that NASCAR-V8-powered, all-wheel-drive 2009 Focus RS – the 2015 McLaren P1 GTR, the 2016 Chevrolet Camaro SS, the aforementioned X6M, and Alain Prost's 1990 Ferrari 641 F1 car. The Hot Wheels Car Pack is available for download today.
