Up for auction is a rare 1983 Ford Ranger with the factory 2.2L diesel (Perkins) engine and four-speed manual transmission. This is a 2WD model. The truck runs and drives, has not been on the road for a few years.
If you enjoy working on cars and appreciate the chance to own an inexpensive compact pickup which offers 32-40mpg, this might be for you. While it runs, drives and stops, it should be considered a project truck. Therefore, don't plan on driving it home.
I had seen this truck around town occasionally for many years and jumped at the first opportunity to purchase it. Later learned that the original owner used to drive it to Florida for the winters. The next owner quit driving it daily when the flywheel ring gear started to fail. It still starts (and runs very well) but the flywheel needs to be replaced for greater reliability. After months of searching, I located and purchased an entire Ranger Diesel package, consisting of replacement flywheel, transmission, starter, clutch kit, spare manifold and more.
One year later, I located a set of factory Ford aluminum rims (from a Georgia truck) and installed those. Another year later, I located a very nice matching aftermarket fiberglass cap (in Cleveland) and made that trip. During last summer, I purchased a sliding rear window assembly and replaced both batteries. If you are interested in continuing with the restoration concept, I have leads within a 50-mile radius, for more Ranger parts. The plan was to begin driving the truck this spring and continue performing upgrades / restoration as time allows. Or you could always use the drivetrain to perform a diesel-retrofit on a classic car.
Due to time constraints, I have decided to sell the truck, before it sits for another year.
What the truck needs: a new windshield, the flywheel needs to be replaced, the truck needs a lot of body rust repair, the doors require extra effort to close, needs new parking brake cables, A/C system needs repair (if you like air conditioning), could use a radio and it can use general maintenance such as fresh oil, belts, hoses, etc. before it sees any extended road-use. The fiberglass cap includes the C-clamps for mounting, but is not currently bolted down. Nice cap, it includes window screens, a third-brake light and rear door lock. The steering column works well, although the ignition tumbler does not appear to require a key to use.
Highlights: The truck starts easily in all temperatures, once the starter makes contact with the flywheel. The gauges all work correctly. The horn, heater, wipers and lights also work. The hard-to-find, rare diesel-only parts above, are included with this auction. This Ranger Diesel auction also includes a set of winter wheels with matching studded snow tires. This can be a very neat project, or maybe just an inexpensive utility vehicle for someone.
In addition to offering incredible fuel efficiency and reliability from the diesel engine, the vehicle's age is approaching classic status. That can mean inexpensive insurance, depending on how you plan to register it. As a factory diesel, it is also emissions-exempt for life, in many parts of the country. Be sure to check your local inspection laws regarding emission testing.
Terms of the auction are as follows: US sale, in person, only. $250 deposit is due within 24 hours of auction close, payable in US cash, Postal Service money order, or Paypal. The balance is due within five days after auction close, or at time of vehicle pickup (whichever is first) payable only in US cash or Postal Service money order. Assuming that full payment has been received per the above terms, I am willing to hold the truck up to 30 days after the auction close, in case you need time to arrange for transportation. Happy Bidding!

Driving the Lincoln Aviator and flogging Abarths at Laguna Seca | Autoblog Podcast #593
Fri, Aug 30 2019In this week's Autoblog Podcast, Editor-in-Chief Greg Migliore is joined by West Coast Editor James Riswick and Associate Editor Joel Stocksdale.

Ford F-150 Raptor gets EcoBoost V6, new chassis and aluminum body [w/videos]
Mon, Jan 12 2015The Autoblog staff universally loves the Ford F-150 SVT Raptor, and the truck's about to get even better. Coming in the fall of 2016 (we'd assume as a 2017 model), the next off-road-ready pickup from Ford will boast an all-new, purpose-built, high-strength steel frame and a lightweight aluminum body that saves more than 500 pounds when compared to the current Raptor. It's six inches wider overall than the regular 2015 F-150, which both makes it look awfully mean but also aids in stability when driving fast off the road, and new LED lighting elements make it stand out when the sun goes dim. Under the Raptor's muscular hood will be a 3.5-liter EcoBoost V6 engine that will make more than the current 6.2-liter V8's 411 horsepower and 434 pound-feet of torque, though we don't have exact power figures for the next-gen Raptor quite yet. Also new will be a 10-speed automatic transmission, which will replace the current six-speed unit and ought to provide appropriate ratios for both rock crawling and high-speed desert trail running. Speaking of high-speed running, what makes the Raptor tick, perhaps more than any other single component, are its custom-designed suspension bits. Redesigned, larger Fox Racing Shocks with more suspension travel and all-new terrain management technology, combined with BFGoodrich All-Terrain KO2 tires, are the bits and pieces that allow for Baja-style off-roading. View 14 Photos The four-wheel-drive system in the next-gen Raptor will include a Terrain Management with settings for Normal driving, Street driving, Weather mode (for rain, snow or ice), Mud and Sand, Baja mode and Rock mode. According to Ford, the Raptor's new transfer case is designed to work as both a locking unit for crawling and a full-time unit for other off-road applications. A Torsen front differential will be optional. Basically, if all of this new stuff turns out to be as good in practice as it sounds in a press release, the next F-150 Raptor will only serve to separate Ford's off-road pickup even further from its half-hearted competitors. Feel free to watch the video and read more down below.
These Canadians somehow forgot how to drive in snow
Tue, Dec 6 2016Montreal drivers experienced a slow-motion pileup on their streets this weeks thanks to the first snow fall of the season. According to the CBC, slippery conditions caused a small pileup involving cars, buses and even a street clearing vehicle. Onlookers in neighboring office buildings watched as vehicle after vehicle slid down Cote du Beaver Hall and crashed into the scrum of waiting cars. First there was a city bus, then a white Ford F-150 work truck loaded down with ladders, then another city bus came along and sandwiched the poor F-150. A Montreal Police Charger then came down the hill backwards, hit the bus in a slow, sad crash before it was crashed into by an out of control plow truck. Since its posting yesterday, the video of the crash has gone viral. Various other vehicles–a green-topped Scion delivery truck and a couple workaday sedans–were lucky enough to escape the pileup, but still suffered through a white-knuckled slippery descent down the hill. Colin Creado, who works nearby the crash site, told the CBC although it was pretty slippery, he was surprised at all the carnage since the storm was forecast well in advance. "You would have thought ... they would have salted the area or at least cordoned it off, because that road is pretty steep," he told the station.
