   One All American  1976 Ford F – 150 Ranger. Very reasonable reserve on this handsome half-ton.  This one owner estate sale truck has to be seen to be believed. It is an absolute time capsule.  Although it is 37 years old. It is virtually show room fresh. It is unrestored. All original two tone paint jade green, chrome yellow all original interior, all original running gear. If you have been looking for an unmolested original truck, look no further. This is a 78k original and documented mileage truck. I have service and maintenance records since 1979.  The truck also had the 70s vintage Winnebago canopy on it that was likely installed when the truck was new. I don't think there has ever been any water exposure to the bed.  I put the heavy rubber matt in to protect the bed. The truck has always been stored indoors is whole life. The spare tire bolts on the rack on the inside, right of the bed. Which I have. It has absolutely no rust  in it anywhere! That's right, none! This isn't a vehicle that looks good in pictures. This truck shows better in person than in the pictures.  Check out the pics of the bottom of the doors and the rust free metal and original paint on those pinch welds at the bottom of the Corners. This is one solid truck. There has been no modifications to the truck that I can see. It still has the original Trico wiper arms and Westinghouse headlights as delivered from the factory.  The dealer install A/C blows ice cold! The 390 engine is smooth and quiet. It purrs like a newborn kitten at idle and roars like a lion when you accelerate. No obnxious exhaust leaks, no pings, rattles, Knocks, squeaks or other Noises. The C-6 transmission shifts crisply on demand. The weatherstripping around the class is soft and pliable.  All of the lights work including the overlook back up lights and license plate lamp. The aluminum trim on this truck is amazingly shiny throughout. Check out the tailgate nameplate, it looks brand-new! The vinyl bench seat is perfect.  The dash pad is flawless and the carpet is in great condition, thanks to that throwback one piece floormat that's been in there since the Carter administration! You need some tunes for cruising, no problem stock a.m. radio is loud and clear. No silly aftermarket CD players in this vintage truck.  Just 100% clean and stock All American Ford!  As mentioned earlier I have owner maintained records of the mileage on this truck as he kept handwritten notes of his trips. One of the receipts for a new muffler was from 1988. The mileage documented at that time was 55K that means this truck has been driven less than 7K Miles in 24 years! The muffler still looks new to this day. Since taking ownership of this truck and because it was sitting on and off.  I have done the following: Replaced both fuel tanks and fuel lines. All new tune up parts radiator hoses water pump, New AC compressor, and rubber hoses with up to date coolant. ASE certified tech, so rest assured items were attended to and worked on  properly.   I had the windows tinted with a 3M Crystalline tint that does not darken but reflects all UV and 70% of heat.  $492.oo for that! The truck came equipped with factory dual tanks power steering power disc brakes push button a.m. radio. Owner installed trailer hitch wielded to frame. All lights and guages work properly. It has a few minor scratches here and there but overall This truck is a 9 on a 10 scale. Thank you for looking.

Ford EcoBoost successful because of Soviet laser weapons system expert?

Sun, 28 Jul 2013

Mike Kluzner is a man of many talents. Not only is he the software engineer responsible for fuel system diagnostics for Ford globally, he "got his start designing laser weapon systems capable of disabling the navigation systems of enemy satellites" for the former Soviet Union. Quite a résumé, wouldn't you say?
You may be asking yourself the same question that popped into our minds upon reading about Mr. Kluzner: What do laser weapon systems have to do with Ford and its EcoBoost engines? We'll let the man answer himself. "The same process for analyzing key physical relationships works for what we do today in engine combustion, catalyst chemistry and mechanics," says Kluzner. "These are all part of Ford's software engineering expertise." Who are we to argue?
Ford also employs an engineer who previously designed software to detect damage to the heat tiles on the International Space Station, as well as one who's past work involved particle physics, says the automaker in the press release below. David Bell (pictured above right), global boost system controls engineer for Ford, describes the software running EcoBoost as "the secret sauce" that makes the technology work as the driver intends and demands.

Car companies used to cook up sales with recipe books

Fri, 08 Aug 2014

The evolution of automotive marketing has undergone a number of strange phases. Few, though, match the strangeness of the 1930s to 1950s, when automotive marketers turned to cookbooks as a means of promoting their vehicles. Yes, cookbooks. We can't make this stuff up, folks.
This bizarre trend led to General Motors distributing cookbooks under the guise of its then-subsidiary Frigidaire. Ford, meanwhile, offered a compilation of recipes from Ford Credit Employees (shown above). The cookbook-craze wasn't limited to domestic manufacturers, though. As The Detroit News discovered, both Rolls-Royce and Volkswagen got in on the trend, although not until the 1970s.
The News has the full story on this strange bit of marketing. Head over and take a look.
