1976 Ford Ranger Xlt Camper Special - 1979 1978 1977 & Wilderness Camper on 2040-cars
What you have here for bid is an original unmolested two owner truck with 52K original miles. I purchased this truck in June of 2012 with 49,900 miles from the original owner. He bought the truck new from a dealer in Portland Oregon and drove the truck each summer to camp in Eastern Washington. When not in use I am told truck was always under cover and out of the weather. Truck is not show room condition and is not perfect. Some small dings and scratches here and there and a small dent behind the tool box. I have included a picture of the original build sheet on the truck. The three speed transmission shifts very nice and gearing is appropriate. Truck is very quiet which you would expect from the special factory exhaust. Also has factory camper tie downs and slide out rear bumper that come with the camper special package. Options include Power Steering, Power Brakes and optional delay wipers. Truck comes with the very nice original tailgate. I have included pictures of the interior which is all original and one of the cleanest I have seen. The original carpet is serviceable but will probably need to be changed at some point down the road. Give me a call or send me an email with any questions (360) 643-0400. I have tried to accurately describe this truck as best I can. Please let me know if you want additional pictures of anything in particular. I would encourage any serious bidder to come inspect prior to purchase but am confident you won't be disappointed.
****Also included in this auction is the 1976 Wilderness 10' camper you can see in some of the pictures. The camper was purchased new by the original owner and has always been with the truck. I have had the camper completely and professionally serviced, the roof completely resealed (to my knowledge it has never leaked) and new roof vents as required during the reseal. This is a very nice useable camper. The only drawback is the dated material on the cushions which can easily be changed if desired. Otherwise it works as it should and is equipped with a oven, cook top, sink, heater, refrigerator, and a bathroom. You can e-mail or call me for details. Thank You! |

Ford's Mulally now said to be in lead for Microsoft CEO job
Sun, 29 Sep 2013There have been rumors that Ford CEO Alan Mulally could assume the top job over at Microsoft, whose CEO, Steve Ballmer, will retire within the year. Mulally hasn't come out and said that he's considering moving to Microsoft after (or before) his contract with Ford through 2014 ends, but sources in the know say he's the front-runner to become the tech giant's CEO and has opened up to the idea more in recent weeks, AllThingsD reports.
Mulally is no stranger to Washington, where Microsoft is located, having worked in the state for Seattle-based Boeing Commercial Airplanes as CEO years ago. He also recently was an adviser to Ballmer in an effort to realign the company's management structure to help it become more competitive in a fast-changing computer hardware and software market. And when Ford developed its Sync digital interface, it tapped Microsoft to provide the operating system, Microsoft Auto. Perhaps the least crucial connection - but nonetheless an important one - is that Mulally still owns a house in the Seattle area, and it's been said he wants to return there, according to AllThingsD.
A main challenge Microsoft's next CEO will face is how to manage the company's numerous, fractured operations and, eventually, streamline them. But even on this front, Mulally has experience; after all, it was he who ushered in an era of global Ford vehicles, after the automaker had become complacent developing and selling vehicles by region leading up to the economic recession of 2008-2009.
Ford EcoBoost successful because of Soviet laser weapons system expert?
Sun, 28 Jul 2013Mike Kluzner is a man of many talents. Not only is he the software engineer responsible for fuel system diagnostics for Ford globally, he "got his start designing laser weapon systems capable of disabling the navigation systems of enemy satellites" for the former Soviet Union. Quite a résumé, wouldn't you say?
You may be asking yourself the same question that popped into our minds upon reading about Mr. Kluzner: What do laser weapon systems have to do with Ford and its EcoBoost engines? We'll let the man answer himself. "The same process for analyzing key physical relationships works for what we do today in engine combustion, catalyst chemistry and mechanics," says Kluzner. "These are all part of Ford's software engineering expertise." Who are we to argue?
Ford also employs an engineer who previously designed software to detect damage to the heat tiles on the International Space Station, as well as one who's past work involved particle physics, says the automaker in the press release below. David Bell (pictured above right), global boost system controls engineer for Ford, describes the software running EcoBoost as "the secret sauce" that makes the technology work as the driver intends and demands.
