Up for sale is my 1988 Ford Ranger STX. Today STX is basically a sticker. This STX has 21 up-graded suspension parts than all other 4X4 Rangers of the time. Plus it has the Appearance Package that not all of them recieved. That package had the roll bar, brush guard, tubular rear bumper, off-road lights, fog lights, stripes, and badges. Its a really nice truck all the way around. It drives like a brand new vehicle rides firm but not stiff. Everything performs perfect electrical, brakes, engine, drivetrain all works perfect. With the exception of a squeaky speedo cable. Prolly just needs some lube. It works good not off speed or jumping needle only a little squeaky most people prolly would never notice it. No major flaws anywhere. Its just as nice as it ever was. The engine is all stock but we painted it black and tan to match the outside. Its really pretty fun at car shows its not the same thing every one else has people like to talk about it. I see it as a collector but could be driven daily if you take care of it some 2.9 engines last over 300,000. 20 MPG about all the time city or highway but does good on the highway 3.73 gear. If you were to buy it you could definitely drive home. Within the last 500 miles its had new tires, shocks, belts, hoses, valve cover gaskets, radiator, and oil change. The exhaust doesnt have converters. Its a resonator with chambered flowmaster style muffler 3" single in dual 2.5" out. Sounds really good close to a v8 rumble no whinny top end like most v6 exhausts. If you want it shipped that will be up to you or you can drive away. My phone number is 765-977-0091 call if you have any questions or message me. Thanks for looking!

Auto investor Kirk Kerkorian dead at 98

Wed, Jun 17 2015

Kirk Kerkorian, among the most talked-about investors in the American auto industry in recent memory, died at the age of 98 in Los Angeles on Monday, June 15. The billionaire ran the investment company Tracinda Corp. and was the largest shareholder in MGM Resorts International. Kerkorian attempted to use his power as a well-financed investor to push the auto industry in some fascinating ways. In 2006, he used his nearly 10-percent stake in General Motors to push a merger with the Renault-Nissan Alliance. The deal made it as far as discussions, but eventually fell through. Kerkorian also attempted to purchase Chrysler - twice. According to Automotive News, the first effort came in 1995 with a $22.8-billion offer for the automaker, and soon after it failed the company merged with Daimler. Then in 2007, Kerkorian was back with a bid for $4.5 billion, but things eventually fell to Cerberus. The billionaire finished the trifecta by buying up $1 billion in Ford stock in 2008 to make Kerkorian the single largest investor in the company. However, the situation didn't last long, and by the end of that year, he had unloaded the shares. According to Automotive News, Kerkorian was ranked by Forbes as the world's 41st richest man in 2008 with a net worth of $16 billion.

Last 2014 Ford Shelby GT500 Convertible nets $500k for charity at Barrett-Jackson [w/video]

Tue, 13 Aug 2013

The last 2014 Ford Shelby GT500 Convertible was sold on Saturday at a Barrett-Jackson auction in Reno, Nevada, for $500,000. Ford donated the Mustang to be auctioned for charity, and all of the money is going to the Brain Injury Association of America.
Parnelli Jones, winner of the 1963 Indianapolis 500, was there on behalf of the BIAA with his son Page, who suffered a brain injury in a sprint car crash in 1994. The bidding increased quickly, reaching $500k in no time, spreading a bit more hope to people who live with brain injuries.
The winning bidder will be able to choose the GT500's exterior, interior and stripe colors, and is scheduled to receive the car, signed by Parnelli Jones in appreciation for the donation, by the end of 2013. Watch the video below to see the auction-block action.

Ford opens the doors on its Swedish rally skunkworks

Fri, 19 Sep 2014

It's always amazing to see how different kinds of racecars are made. Formula One racers are often constructed in modern architectural marvels that hint at some of the cutting-edge technology going into the racing. Conversely, rallying is all about sliding around on a varied course as fast as possible, but it often leaves a vehicle caked in mud. So it makes some sense Olsbergs MSE, or simply (OMSE) rally car shop in Nynashamn, Sweden, shows technological sophistication in a more down-to-earth setting. It builds Ford Fiesta ST racers for Global Rallycross there, and this new video gives viewers a tour through the work.
Former rally driver Andreas Eriksson runs OMSE. These days instead of racing, he and the company's 46 employees are building Ford racers from scratch. A ton of work goes into constructing each one, and according to Eriksson, it takes 400 hours to complete each body. At times, things are so busy that some of the technicians live in the shop in apartments that are on premises. There's even a restaurant to keep them fed. Sadly the dyno room is empty during this visit, though.
By the time OMSE is done, a rallycross car might resemble a Fiesta ST on the outside, but as you see in the video, it's a completely different beast underneath. Check out the work it takes to build one of them, and scroll down to read more about it in the official release.
