This auction is for a 2001 Ford Ranger 4X4. I am selling this as a project because the frame needs repaired. If you are not comfortable with fixing or having something like this fixed please don't bid. The reason I got a hold of this truck is that I do body work for a small dealer in my shop. I've done work for him for years and consider him a friend and a very honest business man. He bought this truck through an auction in January and sold it on his lot. His customer drove it up until a few days ago when his mechanic noticed the frame had a crack in it. He immediately bought the truck back and called me to come give him some advice on what to do with it. What I found was that someone put body filler over a bad spot and doctored it up to run through the sale. After six months plus of having body filler holding water against the frame now it has a much bigger problem than a crack. The auction wont do anything for him because its been so long since he bought it. He wanted nothing to do with the truck and gave me a price I couldn't refuse. So I bought it.

Overall this is too nice of a truck to just scrap because it has a frame issue. It runs great. The four wheel drive works and the air is ice cold. It has great tires and the miles are fantastic for this year of a truck. It does have some blisters showing on the bottoms of the doors and tailgate lip that is very common for a Ranger, but overall it is a sharp truck. Someone just made a small problem worse by trying to hide something instead of fixing it. They make a repair section for these and you can actually buy them on Ebay for $60. I also found a complete frame for $500 at Lapoints in Holland Ohio. If I were fixing it for myself I would just plate the frame. I don't have any intentions of fixing this truck and strictly bought it with intentions of passing it on to someone else to use and save a ton of money on a nice four wheel drive truck with low miles. I knocked every bit of the filler out of the hole so you can see exactly what the problem area looks like in the pictures.

Again if you are not a welder or someone who is comfortable changing a frame don't buy this truck. Its a project vehicle. I'm offering this truck at no reserve, so if you are not a serious bidder please don't bid. If you want to come and inspect the truck before bidding or have any other questions you can email through Ebay or call me @ (330) 432-3798. I have a clean and clear Ohio title in hand and ready to transfer at the time of payment.

New Ford Police Interceptor tech protects cops' backsides

Mon, 22 Jul 2013

It was only a matter of time before law enforcement agencies would realize the potential of driver-assist technology for use in their Ford Police Interceptors, and, now that they have, those back-up cameras and radar systems won't be used just for parking, but for security, as well.
The surveillance mode system works when the camera or radar detects movement from behind the vehicle, and if it does when it's activated, an alarm will alert the officer inside the car, the driver's side window will roll up and the doors will lock, protecting the officer from an unwanted intrusion. The officer, of course, has the option to turn surveillance mode off, mainly in urban areas where pedestrians would constantly set the alarm off, and it can only be activated when the police car is in park.
Randy Freiburger, Ford's police and ambulance fleet supervisor, came up with the patent-pending idea when researching the needs of police officers and riding along with them, during which time he realized officers would be safer with an extra set of eyes watching the area behind their cars, especially at night or when they're completing paperwork, using the in-car computer or handling a radar gun. "Unfortunately, there are people with bad intentions who sneak up on police officers," he says.

Road & Track recently staged its first annual Performance Car of the Year test, pitting 13 new and updated performance cars against each other on track, then graduating the top six to a road test before picking a winner. Additionally, the magazine staff picked the best automobiles of the year in eight categories.
But first, let's cover the PCotY segment. Here's the list of cars brought to the comparison test: Audi R8 V10 Plus; BMW 435i; BMW M6 Competition Package; Chevrolet Corvette Stingray Z51; Ferrari F12 Berlinetta; Ford Fiesta ST; Jaguar F-Type V8 S; Jaguar XFR-S; Mercedes-Benz E63 AMG S-Model Wagon; Mercedes-Benz SLS AMG Black Series; Mini John Cooper Works GP; Nissan GT-R Track Edition; and Porsche Cayman S.
To find out the results of the comparison, head over to Road & Track's website or check the press release below, where you'll also find the magazine's top-rated vehicles in eight categories. Want more? Head over to the 2013 PCotY hub. But before you do that, take a stab at guessing the winner of PCotY (we'll give you one hint: it isn't a Porsche).
