GEORGIA PEACH!!!!!

SOLID SOUTHERN V-8 SHORT BED TRUCK….PERFECT TO MAKE A STREET ROD/CRUISER!!!!

 

1979 FORD F-100 RANGER XLT

SHORT BED

 

Truck sold new in Alma, Georgia at Benton Brothers Ford.  Truck still has the dealer heavy duty rear bumper on it.  Comes with original owners manual and warranty plate (see photo).  Truck was built in the month of February of 1979 at the Norfolk, Virginia Plant. 

 

Truck is sold with a Georgia registration and matching bill of sale.

 

Original 1979 Ford F100 Ranger XLT in good condition. Truck has 120,440 miles on original 302 2bbl v-8 and automatic transmission. Engine runs good, and transmission shifts well.  Dual exhausts still sound good!

 

Body is in great shape - body panels are straight and fit well, minor surface rust where side molding was attached. Bed is solid with minor surface rust (tailgate has several dents on top edge).  Seat cover is torn on driver’s side, carpet shows its age in places. Visors and Headliner are in good shape.  All glass is in good shape.

 

Truck was purchased for a father and son project….outside trim was removed and door panels (cracked a little, but wood panels very nice) taken off (they wanted to make a smooth, lowered cruiser).  That was all that had been done; truck has sat for 2 years since…driven maybe twice a month.

Dash pad has cracks in it.

 

Gas gauge still works well.  All headlights and blinkers work well.  Both hood hinges need to be replaced (warped/broke…typical for these when they are not oiled)

 

Truck was built at Norfolk, Virginia and factory color is Medium Vaquero Metallic.

 

This 1979 Ford Truck has numbers matching motor (302 V-8) and 3 speed automatic transmission.  The truck came with power steering and power brakes (brakes pedal soft).   It also came with A/C (does not work).  The undercarriage is in good shape, minor surface rust only.

 

This truck is an excellent candidate for a customized truck that needs little body work (rust of roof edges is the worst thing) and some minor mechanical work.

 

Please ask any questions for more information and if needed, more pictures.  This is a 35 year old truck that has never been restored.  It has very solid original sheet metal.  The paint has faded a good bit, but the truck is very straight and has great gaps (it probably has had 1 repaint).

 

Inspections are welcome, just give me a call or email!

Ford recalling 830,000 vehicles to replace side door latches

Thu, Aug 4 2016

The Basics: Ford is conducting a recall for roughly 830,000 models. The affected vehicles include the 2013 to 2015 Ford C-Max, 2012 to 2015 Ford Focus, 2013 to 2015 Ford Escape, 2015 Lincoln MKC, 2015 Ford Mustang, and 2014 to 2016 Ford Transit Connect. The recall is focused primarily in Arkansas, Alabama, Florida, California, Arizona, Hawaii, Georgia, New Mexico, Louisiana, Mississippi, Texas, Nevada, Utah, Oklahoma, Washington, and Oregon as the problem mostly affects cars in states with warm weather. The Problem: The pawl spring tab in the side door latch in the affected vehicles could break, preventing the door from latching and could even cause the door to open while driving. Injuries/Deaths: There is one reported injury and one reported accident. The Fix: Dealers will replace the affected cars' side door latches. If you own one: Reach out to your local Ford dealer to schedule a service.

Ford, Toyota clean up in Best Car For The Money Awards

Fri, 22 Feb 2013

The U.S. News Best Cars for the Money Awards picks winners by looking at the average transaction price, five-year total cost of ownership, the regard a car has from the automotive press, reliability figures from J.D. Power and Associates and safety data from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration and the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety. The result, according to the magazine, is "the best combination of critical acclaim and long-term value."
Ford nabbed six of the 21 categories that received awards this year, the Focus, Fusion, Fusion Hybrid, Taurus, Escape and Edge getting trophies. Toyota and its Lexus and Scion sub-brands took another five, the Tacoma and Tundra owning the two categories given to pickup trucks. The other ten awards were split between Honda with three, Buick with two, and one each for Subaru, BMW, Hyundai, Chevrolet and Mazda.

Jaguar design boss admits X-Type was a mistake

Thu, 19 Sep 2013

History has a way of repeating itself, especially in the auto industry. When Jaguar was owned by Ford, the British brand attempted to field a competitor for the BMW 3 Series, called the X-Type. Based on the bones of a Ford Mondeo, it aped the styling of Jaguar's flagship model, the XJ, while borrowing liberally from the Ford parts bin. That was 2001.
Now, in 2013, Jaguar is planning a new 3 Series challenger based on the platform previewed by the C-X17 Concept, while Ford is attempting to take the latest Mondeo upmarket. The moves have both brands recognizing where, why, and how the X-Type failed. "It didn't look mature or powerful or anything. It was just a car," Jaguar's current head of advanced design, Julian Thomson, told PistonHeads. Basing the X-Type on a front-drive car while giving it styling that was meant for a rear-driver lead to proportions that "were plainly wrong," Thomson told PH. Ford's European head of quality, Gunnar Herrmann, added that the X-Type was "a fake Jaguar, because every piece I touch is Ford."
For what it's worth, the X-Type's successor in the segment will sport rear-drive, with plenty of input from Ian Callum. Thomson described the new model, which would challenge the 3 Series as having, "Big wheels right to the ends of the car, low bonnet, short overhangs, very low cabins." Sounds good to us.
