For sale is an 1971 Ford F250 Ranger. I bought this truck a year ago in Maryland for a project truck. The motor had already been rebuilt about 5000 miles before I bought it. I have only driven it maybe at the most 1000 miles. Truck runs great. Needs the carborater adjusted. I'm not skilled in carbs lol. But it has a Holley carb and an elderbrock intake. It has the 360 5.9l motor. It also has the 4speed manual transmission. 1st is a granny gear. The synchronizer for 3rd gear is not great just wont down shift to third all the time.  It's 4wd works great. It doesn't have power steering or power breaks but breaks work great its drum all the way around. I did just resently paint it torch red. Love the color. It has all the trim on the truck $1600 dollars worth of crome. Truck looks great. I will add the project pics to so you can get an idea of the detail put into it. I do have the title in hand and it is switch to an Indiana title. I am getting rid of it cause I amin the process of buying a house and need the money.  But thanks for looking and happy bidding. Feel free to ask questions and if you want additional pics send me your email and I will send them soon as I can.

The restoration process;  I took it clear down to the frame and painted, painted motor and trans, the body restoration I replaced one lower door panel with metal and the cab corners with metal. The rest of the truck wasn't in to bad of shape so just used a fiberglass filler for the small stuff. The fiberglass unlike bondo if gets wet will never swell and deteriorate. So you can trust the stuff. This is the first truck I have done on my own so it's not perfect but I have be complimented on it a lot. I'm pretty proud if the way it turned out. There are still some mechanical thing that need done.  hooking the heater up. I did replace the radio with a new replica one from lmc truck. Lmc truck is where I bought most of the parts  thanks again for looking and happy bidding

Trump to meet with CEOs from Ford, GM, and FCA

Tue, Jan 24 2017

In the wake of his inauguration, President Donald Trump is set to meet with the CEOs of Ford, General Motors, and Fiat Chrysler Automobiles Tuesday morning to discuss jobs, the North American Free Trade Agreement, and potential tax cuts. Trump has been highly critical of American automakers for shipping jobs to Mexico and has threatened to impose heavy import fees on foreign-made vehicles. Trump has threatened to dissolve NAFTA in order to encourage automakers to manufacture cars in the US. Automotive News and Crain's Detroit Business are reporting that the group is set to discuss how to bring more auto industry jobs back to the US. Under NAFTA, many automakers, both foreign and domestic, have moved vehicle production out of the States to Mexico in order to cut costs. White House spokesperson Sean Spicer said Trump is looking forward to the meeting and discussing how to bring jobs back to America. Dismantling NAFTA would be a major blow to automakers. Trump blasted Ford during his campaign for manufacturing in Mexico, but FCA and GM also have factories south of the border. Earlier this month, Ford nixed plans for a $1.6 billion plant in Mexico, instead investing $700 million into an existing facility. At this year's Detroit Auto Show, the unspoken theme was America and American manufacturing. Expect the automakers to fight to keep NAFTA alive.

UK auto magazine says this is the best car commercial of all time [w/videos]

Thu, 20 Dec 2012

There have been many great car commercials over the years, but is it possible to define the best? Well, Ad Week recently took a crack at it by rating the top commercials of the year by looking at their view counts on YouTube, but Auto Express took a more democratic approach by putting the decision to a vote. Just after Thanksgiving, Auto Express came up with a list of the 20 popular commercials, and it tasked its readers with choosing the winner for the best car ad of all time. The winner? Honda's 2003 commercial for its then-new European Accord titled "The Cog."
While the ad never aired in the US, most car people have surely seen the impressive Rube Goldberg-style spot. In fact, the only commercial on this list that we saw on US television was the Volkswagen ad "The Force," but many of the others have become viral videos, including transforming and dancing Citroën C4. Of the 19 other commercials that vied for the title of best ad of all time, only the Ford Puma "Steve McQueen" commercial gave Honda a run for its advertising money.
Scroll down to watch Auto Express' top five commercial in order and to check out a press release, then let us know some of your favorite car commercials in Comments.

Ford Focus ST, Fiesta ST buyers to get free Octane Academy driving school

Thu, 01 Aug 2013

The Ford Focus ST and Fiesta ST have created plenty of excitement in the sport compact segment, and Ford is looking to make sure that owners are driving and enjoying their cars to the best of their abilities. As an added bonus for buying one of these sporty hatchbacks, Ford will provide a complimentary ST Octane Academy session to be held at the Miller Motorsports Park in Utah.
Attendees will be responsible for travel and lodging, but Ford will provide the driving school free of charge. Included in this two-day trip, ST owners will get class instruction and driving instruction in prepped Focus ST and Fiesta ST models on the track and autocross course. Some karting action will also be involved as will a tour of Ken Block's Hoonigan Racing headquarters located nearby. If this doesn't sound like enough fun, there is also an optional day of activities that includes some more track time in a Mustang GT and off-road instruction in an F-150 SVT Raptor.
Ford told us that those who have already purchased a Focus ST or Fiesta ST will still be able to attend the performance driving school, but the press release, which is posted below, makes it sound like it applies to original owners only. Ford has yet to announce its schedule for the ST Octane Academy or prices for additional activities or guests.
