Up for auction is our extremely rare 1988 SALEEN Ranger.  This is number 21 of 29 made of which two of those were not sold and used for racing by SALEEN.  Its anyone's guess as to how many are left, but I would guess very few.  This Survivor has only 14,100 original documented miles.  Sold new here in Colorado, at Courtesy Ford to a friend of ours.  He owned it until 1996 then sold it to a local car collector. It was stored in a climate controlled building until I  purchased it.  I am the third owner and the title still reads 14,100 actual miles!!   It has never been a daily driver and always garaged. 

The only flaws are as follows; the right rear valance has been repaired (looks fine though), fuel gauge does not work, and the A/C blows cool (not cold).

Everything else on the truck is nearly perfect for a 25 year old truck.  It drives very tight, smooth and has great power.  The engine runs perfect.  The clutch is smooth and grabs well and the transmission shifts very smooth.  It truly drives like a new 1988 Ranger.  With the SALEEN installed Racecraft suspension it handles very well and has a solid ride.  Its a very original truck, including its original Konig wheels with their original General 2000 sport tires.

The paint is all very nice and shows well.  The inside of the bed has a liner, but the bed floor is perfect and unused.  All glass is nice.  The interior is all original SALEEN that looks new.  It retains it's SALEEN installed number plate on the dash and inner fender well.  Also has the door decal.  The original owner removed the blue SALEEN side stripes for personnel appearance.  I have looked into reproducing them, and its something that can be done.

The engine compartment looks new as well as the undercarriage.  Original, unused spare tire.  This truck is perfect as a museum piece or a great addition to any collection, especially if you collect SALEENS!!  I have a current Colorado title in my name that is ready to reassign.  If you have questions please call 303 475-4544 for more information.   Thanks for viewing my SALEEN.

Is Tesla's next project an F-150 competitor? [w/poll]

Wed, 13 Nov 2013

What's the future look like for Tesla after it launches the Model X CUV and possibly a smaller, sub-Model S sedan? Would you believe a pickup truck? Yes, Tesla could be looking to use its EV know-how to take the fight to Ford and the F-150, based on comments made by company founder Elon Musk.
"If you're trying to replace the most gasoline miles driven, you have to look at what people are buying," Musk said during an impromptu Q&A session following a speech at Business Insider's Ignition conference. "[The F-150 is] the best selling car in America. If people are voting that's their car, then that's the car we have to deliver."
And while the idea of electric pickup may sound kind of absurd to some, Musk makes a very valid point - if Tesla's goal is to replace gas miles with electrical miles, it simply can't afford to ignore pickups.

Leno drives Henry Ford II's all-original '52 Ferrari 212 Barchetta

Tue, 17 Jun 2014

The story of the relationship between Henry Ford II and Enzo Ferrari is absolutely fascinating. The two great men of the auto industry had what appeared to be a burgeoning friendship until Ferrari pulled out of a deal to sell his company to Ford in the '60s. The latest car featured in Jay Leno's Garage is a 1952 Ferrari 212 Barchetta that tells the very beginnings of that story.
This Prancing Horse was a gift to Ford from Enzo when the two companies were first thinking about merging, according to the curator of the Petersen Automotive Museum. Ferrari really wanted to show off its best so instead of the 212's normal V12, this car was fitted with the larger 2.7-liter unit from a Ferrari 225. The car has been almost unaltered since then. It still wears its original paint, and it's tires date back to 1954.
The great thing about the Petersen is that unlike a lot of auto museums, the people there actually drive the cars and keep them in working order. Once on the road with Leno behind the wheel, this Ferrari really sings. Unfortunately, he can't open it up too much because the 60-year-old tires really hold things back. Scroll down to watch this amazing piece of automotive history and learn it's possible effect on the styling of the original Ford Thunderbird.

Ford will build Hackmobile out of Transit Connect Wagon

Fri, 27 Dec 2013

What you see in the above image is a rendering of the Hackmobile Transit Connect Wagon. What is that? It's a "mobile fabrication and hacking unit" that includes tools for metal- and woodworking, 3D and electronics fabrication, a three-axis CNC machine called "The Fabber," a video projector and screen, an air compressor, an 84x48-inch work surface that folds out like a Murphy bed and oh so much more. When not in use, all of the implements fold neatly into the back of Ford's award-winning van.
But perhaps the more important question is why is that? Because Make Magazine held an Ultimate Maker Vehicle Challenge in conjunction with Ford in which ten teams created were charged with creating "the ultimate Ford Transit Connect Wagon for the do-it-yourself enthusiast." Team Twin Cities Maker won the competition with the Hackmobile, and in addition to winning $10,000, Ford has declared it's actually going to build the thing - which is great, because if they can actually engineer a road-legal Hackmobile Transit Connect Wagon as envisioned, the inevitable A-Team movie reboot might need to think about including it.
Check out the video below for a cheeky walk-through of the Hackmobile, and get all the particulars in the press release below that.
