I am listing my 1983 Ford Ranger for sale. I really don't want to sell but don't have the time to fully finish it. The thing I have already done is a V8 swap with a C6 transmission and solid axle swap. The motor and Transmission only has around 5,000 mile on it AND THE TIRES AROUND 6,000 miles on them.The motor and trans did not come from a junk yard, it was ordered as a crate motor and trans. I done the solid axle swap using a yj jeep suspension and jeep yj Dana30 with the front brake hardware being brand new( calipers, rotors, and brake hoses, and pads)It is setting on 37x13.50 Pro Comp xterrain tires but could fit 39-40 inch tires. I have a rear disc brake conversion kit for it but have not got around to install it. it also has bushwacker cutout fender flares installed on it
A list of stuff that will need to be done is a front driver side axle shaft and hub, front drive shaft modified to fit ( have a drive shaft, just need to be shortened with a bigger joint put on), a front sway bar, steering gear box, and the Carburetor cleaned due to truck not being drove. Will crank up but after the choke kick off some times will have a hard time idling. the inside of the truck does not have any carpet. it has been sprayed with bed liner spray and the painted. the inside will need some  work. it also does not have A/C or a heater. there is also a small rust spot above the windshield on the driver side
The 13gal gas tank was replaced with a 20gal fuel cell which is bolted in the bed of the truck. WITH A LITTLE WORK COULD BECOME A DAILY DRIVER in some area but where I live it is sitting to high to be street legal
The truck is being sold as is and i would strongly recommend towing it mainly because of high it is sitting with no sway bar and the front hub bearing assembly and the steering box. I also have a extra set of leaf springs that will fit on the front , and the rear disc brakes, and any other parts I may still have for the truck. It does have a clear title but do not have the title because of where I live, it is old enough to not have to have the title. just in the motor, and transmission I have around $2,500.00 in it and the wheels and tires another $2,200.00 and thats not counting the extra stuff.  The only reason I am listing it is because I got to many project going on and don't know when I will get back around to messing with the truck again. It is also being sold locally so I reserve the right to end the listing early If you are within 150 miles I can deliver the truck for an additional charge. feel free to ask any question you may have. Also if you dont plan on buying it don't bid

As US exports top 2 million, is America becoming the world's source of cheap cars?

Mon, Feb 9 2015

North American auto production is booming with 2014 figures just shy of the of the 17.3-million vehicle record set in 2000. With more models being built on the continent, even more are being shipped overseas. Factories in the US exported 2.1 million cars last year – the highest number ever. About half of those went to Canada and Mexico, but more than ever have been heading to places like the Middle East and China. The upswing comes in part from from after-effects from the Great Recession, according to The Wall Street Journal. With a weak dollar and lower production costs after the financial crisis, building vehicles in the US was relatively cheaper and more competitive in the world. At the same time buyers around the world are going crazy for crossovers. According to the WSJ, BMW and Mercedes-Benz are already exporting the majority of their US production of these models overseas. Both automakers have also announced investments to expand production further here to send more vehicles abroad. Even Honda has been shipping more models out of the country than it imported here. There is a concern this international strength could start slowing because the dollar is strengthening against other currencies, though it's too early to know what the actual effect of this could be, according to the WSJ. "Of course, we closely watch currency exchange, but we don't make changes in production or allocation based on temporary fluctuations in the exchange rate," Ford North American boss Joe Hinrichs told the newspaper.

Junkyard Gem: 1991 Mercury Capri

Mon, Sep 19 2016

Ford has gotten a lot of use out of the Capri name in the United States. First, there was the Lincoln Capri in the 1950s, followed by the Ford Capri Mk1 (which was sold by Mercury dealers in the USA but never actually badged as a Mercury). Then came the 1979-1986 Mercury Capri, built on the very successful Fox Platform and essentially a clone of the Mustang. Finally, in 1991, the Australian Ford Capri came to the United States. Here is an example of this rare car that I spotted in a Northern California self-service yard not long ago. Mechanically speaking, the 1991-1994 Capri was a Mazda 323 under the skin, complete with a member of the same B-series engine family that went into such cars as the Miata and Ford Escort. So, for a few years in the early 1990s, car shoppers who wanted a sporty Mazda convertible could choose between a Miata and a Capri. The Capri had front-wheel-drive, but could be had with factory turbocharging. These cars were reliable and fun, but had a tough time competing with the Miata in the showroom battles. You'll see the occasional example now and then, but most of the 1991-1994 Capris have met the same fate that awaits this one. Related Video:

Ford F-150 Tremor to pace NASCAR Truck Series this weekend

Wed, 14 Aug 2013

Ford's bro-tastic F-150 Tremor will be pacing this weekend's NASCAR Camping World Truck Series at Michigan International Speedway. The Tremor fills a gap in the Ford F-Series lineup that we imagine the NASCAR set have clamored for - a hot-rod pickup truck.
Where the F-150 Raptor is designed to go quick on anything, the Tremor and its 3.5-liter EcoBoost V6 are designed to tackle the road. The 365-horsepower and 420-pound-foot EcoBoost is unchanged from the rest of the F-150 line, but it combines the shortest drive ratio with the lightest two-door body, making it a bit of hot rod.
Ford will be offering hot laps with Michigan native Brad Keselowski behind the wheel of the Tremor for fans that arrive in the Irish Hills on August 14. The main showing for the new pickup will be the August 17 race, though, when it'll lead the field at the start of the race and through cautions.
