1979 Ford F-150 Ranger 4x4

Up for auction with NO RESERVE is the Ford truck I thought I would never sell. I did lots of research and found the perfect truck, I thought would last forever. Unfortunately, my wife's grandfather passed, and his beloved pickup was going to be discarded. We've elected to save grandpa's truck for sentimental value, and...

It's a great opportunity for the right buyer.

I purchased the truck from a close friend of the original buyer. The truck was built in San Jose, and bought in 1978 by it's original owner, a Ford employee. The truck has been covered, or garaged for almost its entire life, and never registered outside of California. The original paint is in good shape for 30 plus years. It's an awesome blue, with subtle metallic flake. Overall exterior condition is very good for it's age. It is not a show truck yet, but with matching numbers, and almost all original equipment,  it certainly could be. The photos speak for themselves.

Modification's are minimal. The truck sits on a 2" body lift, which looks great! Also has an aftermarket chrome grill, and new model rearview mirror with temp and compass features. A small motor for a "hood squirt gun" was installed by original owner, but is not currently hooked up. Also a Flowmaster muffler is installed.

Mechanically, the truck is sound. Starter motor and ignition were replaced less than a year ago, and the truck fires right up! Motor runs well, shifts well, and brakes. Power steering works great! Drives Great! The truck is equipped with Power Assist brakes, but may need work. Stops with manual brake pressure fine.

Transmission is a 4 speed with Granny low. 4x4 works great, although I've used it very little.

NP 205 Transfer Case and solid front axel. The 6th generation F-150 is considered to be one of the must robust and durable truck designs from Ford.

I have never taken this truck off road, and it has been more of a Sunday Driver than anything for me.

Mileage comes in just over 71, 000. but my guess is it's been over once already.

The truck has a Sony CD player, FM/AM radio, and two JLB speakers, which sound great. A Cobra CB radio is also installed.

I'm also including rare factory service manuals, and a Weather Shield HD black custom cover, which cost around $500.

What else can I say? The truck is in great condition for is age inside and out. It's good to drive, and can be kept a daily driver, or customized to your liking.

Please feel free to contact me with any questions, and I'll be happy to answer them to the best of my ability.

This is a truly awesome truck, and I'll miss it dearly.

Thank you, and GOOD LUCK! Did I mention, NO RESERVE!



I have described the truck to the best of my ability, and am selling AS-IS.

2015 Ford Mustang GT [w/video]

Fri, 19 Sep 2014

At 50 years old, the object of fantasies, a tuner's dream, a movie star and more than nine million strong, it couldn't be truer to say that the Ford Mustang needs no introduction. This newest Mustang, however - making the biggest changes we've seen to the pony car since perhaps 1964.5 - is something Ford has been introducing all year.
We went on a Deep Dive, covered the way it looks when it was revealed, detailed the engine specs, got a ride in the EcoBoost and listened to the V8, got rolling footage and watched it do a standard-feature burnout.
The only thing left to do? Drive it. Having now done so for a few hours around Los Angeles, what we can tell you is to forget everything you know about the Mustang. This new car shames the old, redefines the model and gallops far ahead of anything else in the segment.

Chevy Traverse, Hyundai Santa Fe revealed; Buick Envista, BMW M4 CSL driven | Autoblog Podcast #790

Fri, Jul 21 2023

In this episode of the Autoblog Podcast, Editor-in-Chief Greg Migliore is joined by Senior Editor John Beltz Snyder. After some banter, including the discussion of an excellent tomato sauce recipe, they get into car reviews. Greg has been driving the Mercedes-AMG GLE 53, while John has been testing the BMW M4 CSL and Buick's new Envista crossover. There's lots of interesting news this week. Chevy revealed the 2024 Traverse with new looks, a new engine and on off-road(ish) trim. Hyundai gave us a glimpse at the wild styling of the next Santa Fe. Dodge might bring back the Stealth nameplate as an SUV, and that has implications for the Durango as well. Ford, after repeatedly raising prices, has turned around and significantly discounted the F-150 Lightning across all trims. The first Tesla Cybertruck has rolled off the line as a pre-production prototype. Finally, we reach in to the mailbag and help a listener decide what to do with cars for himself and his kids in this week's Spend My Money segment.

2014 Ford Fusion to get 1.5L EcoBoost three-cylinder?

Tue, 09 Apr 2013

Just one year after launching the all-new 2013 Fusion, Ford is reportedly set to alter the sedan's powertrain lineup with the addition of a new 1.5-liter turbocharged three-cylinder EcoBoost engine. A member of Blue Oval Forums apparently got their hands on the ordering guide for the 2014 model year Fusion, and this 1.5-liter mill is set to be introduced with late availability.
This lines up with other news about the Chinese-market Mondeo being offered with a new 1.5-liter EcoBoost - a derivative of the 1.0-liter triple that will come to North America under the hood of the Fiesta (note: the 1.0 is also offered in the current Euro-spec Mondeo). In the Chinese application, the larger three-pot engine produces 177 horsepower and 177 pound-feet of torque, which is very close to the current 1.6-liter inline-four's output numbers of 178 hp and 184 lb-ft.
What's interesting, however, is that the 1.6-liter engine will reportedly still be offered in the Fusion, but only with the six-speed manual transmission. The smaller 1.5-liter EcoBoost will only be mated to a six-speed SelectShift automatic, and will feature start/stop. This means that while the 1.5 is slightly down on power compared to the 1.6, it could easily improve fuel economy numbers, allowing the Fusion to regain the title of having the best mileage in the segment, likely besting the 38 miles per gallon of the Nissan Altima. Currently, the Fusion 1.6 is rated at 23 mpg city and 36 mpg highway.
