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!

Ford reveals all-new Everest SUV at Asia-Pacific forum [w/poll]

Thu, 13 Nov 2014

While the Explorer may have shifted from a truck-based sport-ute to a car-based crossover, Ford still offers buyers on the other side of the Pacific a Ranger-based SUV in the form of the Everest. And at the Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation (APEC) Summit in Beijing today, the Blue Oval revealed the all-new version you see here.
Previewed in concept form over a year ago and made specifically for the Asia-Pacific market, the new Ford Everest is designed to be more refined on the road and more capable off of it. Like the Explorer once was, the new Everest is based on a stretched version of the overseas Ford Ranger pickup. Depending on the specific market, Ford will offer the new Everest with a range of engines including a 2.0-liter EcoBoost turbo four and two Duratorq turbodiesels - a 2.2-liter four and a 3.2-liter inline-five - mated to a six-speed automatic transmission.
Earmarked to take on the likes of the Toyota Land Cruiser Prado (known in these parts as the Lexus GX) and the Jeep Grand Cherokee, the new Everest promises rock-crawlers even better off-road capabilities. It's got nearly nine inches of ground clearance, over 30 inches of wading depth, a 29-degree approach and 25-degree departure angles and a set of features including on-the-fly adjustable four-wheel drive.

2015 Ford Shelby GT350, GT350R Mustang option pricing leaked [UPDATE]

Tue, Apr 28 2015

UPDATE: Ford wasn't willing to elaborate on Mustang6G's pricing report, with spokesperson Said Deep simply saying, "We haven't announced pricing at this time." The limited availability of the new 2015 GT350 and GT350R isn't the only Ford Mustang news today, as a leaked report by Mustang6G has shined a light on the cost of the optional equipment we first reported on way back in January. First, we have the standard GT350. As we reported earlier, only 50 cars will get the $7,500-Tech Package, which includes magnetic ride control, navigation with Sync 3, dual-zone climate control, and heated, air-conditioned, leather-upholstered, and powered seats. The other 50 standard models will get the $6,500-Track Package. You'll still get magnetic ride control, selectable driving modes and enhanced cooling systems for the engine oil, trans and diff. Stand-alone navigation is $795, a black roof is $695, stripes are $475, and as with the standard Mustang, Triple Yellow Clearcoat paint is $495. Fancy one of the just 37 GT350Rs? You'll pony up (pun intended) an extra $3,500 on top of the price of a GT350. From there, Mustang6G cites a $3,000-SVT Touring Package, which we think references the Electronics Package (navigation, Sync 3, and dual-zone climate control). Outside of those two items, the GT350R's only additional options include a black roof, stand-alone nav, and stripes, all of which carry the same price as the standard car. Like our report earlier today, these prices appear to only be for the 2015 model. While production outputs for the 2016 will probably increase, we can't be sure whether these prices be carried over, as well. Mustang6G claims it will have a starting price "very soon," which we'll naturally bring you as soon as it's published. We've also reached out to Ford to confirm this report as well as get any info on the GT350's starting price. Stay tuned. Related Video:

Motor Trend pits Subaru WRX vs. Ford Focus ST

Thu, 23 Jan 2014

The Ford Focus ST has enjoyed a relatively calm, if brief, reign in the world of hot hatches. With nothing else in the class (in the States, at least) but the aging Mazdaspeed3 and Subaru Impreza WRX and the slow-selling Volkswagen Golf R, the Blue Oval's 252-horsepower five door has been the go-to vehicle for those that don't need the high-octane lunacy (and expense) of the rally bred Subaru Impreza WRX STI and Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution X.
Now, though, as the new Subaru WRX (it's not an Impreza anymore, though, neither is it a hatchback...) starts to arrive at dealers, the Focus ST appears to be under threat for the first time. Naturally, Motor Trend is here to figure out which one is the best, with another one of its Head 2 Head videos. Host Jonny Lieberman puts both cars through their paces, going above and beyond, quite literally, at the very end of the video.
Have a look below and let us know what you think of MT's verdict in Comments.
