Up for auction is our extremely rare 1988 SALEEN Ranger. This is number 21 of 29 made of which two of those were not sold and used for racing by SALEEN. Its anyone's guess as to how many are left, but I would guess very few. This Survivor has only 14,100 original documented miles. Sold new here in Colorado, at Courtesy Ford to a friend of ours. He owned it until 1996 then sold it to a local car collector. It was stored in a climate controlled building until I purchased it. I am the third owner and the title still reads 14,100 actual miles!! It has never been a daily driver and always garaged.
The only flaws are as follows; the right rear valance has been repaired (looks fine though), fuel gauge does not work, and the A/C blows cool (not cold).
Everything else on the truck is nearly perfect for a 25 year old truck. It drives very tight, smooth and has great power. The engine runs perfect. The clutch is smooth and grabs well and the transmission shifts very smooth. It truly drives like a new 1988 Ranger. With the SALEEN installed Racecraft suspension it handles very well and has a solid ride. Its a very original truck, including its original Konig wheels with their original General 2000 sport tires.
The paint is all very nice and shows well. The inside of the bed has a liner, but the bed floor is perfect and unused. All glass is nice. The interior is all original SALEEN that looks new. It retains it's SALEEN installed number plate on the dash and inner fender well. Also has the door decal. The original owner removed the blue SALEEN side stripes for personnel appearance. I have looked into reproducing them, and its something that can be done.
The engine compartment looks new as well as the undercarriage. Original, unused spare tire. This truck is perfect as a museum piece or a great addition to any collection, especially if you collect SALEENS!! I have a current Colorado title in my name that is ready to reassign. If you have questions please call 303 475-4544 for more information. Thanks for viewing my SALEEN.

Britain orders 10,000 ventilators from F1/McLaren/Mercedes/Ford/Rolls-Royce/Airbus
Mon, Mar 30 2020Paramedics and ambulance personnel get instructions from a command unit outside London's ExCel Centre arena, which is being turned into a 4,000 bed temporary hospital called NHS Nightingale to deal with coronavirus patients. The hospital is due to open Monday, March 30. / AP Â Â LONDON — Britain has ordered 10,000 ventilators from a consortium of leading aerospace, engineering and Formula One racing companies which will start production this week in response to an urgent government call for industry to help save lives. The 27-strong team, including Airbus, BAE Systems, Ford and Rolls-Royce, have joined forces to ramp up production of a ventilator made by Smiths Group, which supports those with complications from COVID-19. The consortium, which also includes seven Formula One teams including McLaren and Mercedes, home to World Champion Lewis Hamilton, said they had pulled staff off existing projects to meet the national need. Some 1,228 people have died from coronavirus in the United Kingdom and a senior health official said on Saturday the country would be doing well if it manages to keep the death toll below 20,000. "This consortium brings together some of the most innovative companies in the world," Dick Elsy, the head of the consortium, said in a statement. "I am confident this consortium has the skills and tools to make a difference and save lives." The United Kingdom, which initially only had 5,000 ventilators available in its National Health Service, has been trying to secure additional supplies after realising it needed 30,000 to cope with the peak of the outbreak. Prime Minister Boris Johnson, who is now in isolation in Downing Street after testing positive for coronavirus, made an emergency appeal earlier this month for manufacturers to retool their production lines and start making specialist health equipment including ventilators. Britain now has about 8,000 ventilators, with another 8,000 on order from international manufacturers that are due in coming weeks. Last week it placed an order for a newly-designed model from the vacuum cleaner company Dyson that will need to be approved by the health regulator. Mercedes part of a separate effort, too Separately on Monday a second consortium including Mercedes Formula One and other F1 teams said it had developed in less than a week a new version of a breathing aid that can help coronavirus patients.
Preserving automotive history costs big bucks
Wed, 29 Jan 2014
$1.8 million is spent each year to maintain GM's fleet of 600 production and concept cars.
When at least two of the Detroit Three were on the verge of death a few years back, one of the tough questions that was asked of Ford, General Motors and Chrysler execs - outside of why execs were still taking private planes to meetings - was why each company maintained huge archives of old production and concept vehicles. GM, for example, had an 1,100-vehicle collection when talk of a federal bailout began.
1969 Ford GT40 Mk III found roaming the halls in Geneva
Wed, Mar 4 2015The halls of the 2015 Geneva Motor Show are filled with all manner of exotic racing machinery, from the likes Scuderia Cameron Glickenhaus to McLaren. But there's one peculiar bit of history tucked away that we thought you'd be equally interested to see: a 1969 Ford GT40 Mk III. One of only seven known to be built, this Mk III coupe was intended as a road-going alternative to earlier racing-bred GT40 models, like the original Mk I and 427-cubic-inch, Le Mans-dominating Mk II. Due to its street-legal intentions, the Ford GT40 Mk III boasted revised bodywork that allowed for some luggage and new headlights, along with a redesigned interior with left-hand-drive and a shifter in the normal, center position. The Mk III wasn't very popular when it was new in the 1960s, in part because it looked different from other GT40 models and because it was pretty expensive, but that just means it's an awfully rare gem today. Take a look at the piece of history in our high-res image gallery above.
