I have been wanting a Skyliner for over 30 years, so when this one got listed locally I quickly bought it before checking it out thoroughly. As it turned out, it is a bigger project than I think I'm currently capable of. It is very rusty underneath and probably needs its frame replaced. I'm not an expert by any means, so I might be mistaken. However, if it doesn't need to be replaced, it definitely needs major repair. I have an available frame with a '59 wagon and was told it would interchange, but, after buying the car, have been convinced that it is not a direct interchange. As a result, I am making this car available for someone more able than I am.

The frame is rusty. The floor pans have some rust, but they are not all rusted out. The eyebrows above the headlights are rusted through. Also, the driver's door sags due to rust. I don't think the trunk floor is rusted out.

I have put a battery in it and cranked it over. It acted like it wants to run, but I haven't tinkered with it enough to get it to actually run. With a battery in it, I cannot get the top mechanism to operate. I have no idea how to test it and its various parts. I have not had the trunk lid open, so I don't know that everything is there, but from what I can see, nothing seems to be missing of its top components.

It has most, if not all, of its trim pieces, but they are all pitted. Once again, I'm not an expert so I don't know how useable everything is. It has had its left front brake shoes and such removed so the car can be rolled around. (I had no problem loading it on my trailer with a come-along.)

The interior is rough, but mostly, if not entirely, complete.

Please do your homework on shipping before bidding. I live just outside Blanding, UT 84511 which is a long way from a major shipping hub. In fact, I'm located almost the same distance from Salt Lake City, Denver, Albuquerque and Phoenix. It is pricey and difficult to ship cars out of here, so please check into it before bidding. The buyer is responsible for arranging and paying for shipping, but I will help load and accommodate the shipper as much as possible. I would like to have the car hauled within 2 weeks of sale, but that is negotiable -- I really don't have a good place to store it safely.

There is a $200 non-refundable deposit due through Paypal within 48 hours of auction close. The buyer and I can then make arrangements for the remainder of the payment. The total balance will need to be paid before the car will be shipped.

I have a clear Utah title to the car in my name.

For additional pictures and information, please email me through Ebay or call me at 435-459-0591.

I encourage any potential buyers to personally come and inspect the vehicle prior to bidding.

1979 Dodge Li'l Red Express in Generation Gap showdown with 1933 Ford Pickup

Fri, 18 Jul 2014

Auto enthusiasts love a good debate, whether it's Mustang versus Camaro or Ferrari against Lamborghini. But how about a battle between two very different vintages of classic pickup trucks? In this case, the fight is between a 1979 Dodge Li'l Red Express and a 1933 Ford Model 46 truck with a flathead V8.
The shootout comes courtesy of the internet series Generation Gap, and its concept is super-simple. One guy prefers classics, and the other likes newer rides. They choose a category, pick two vehicles and put them head to head. In this case, neither is exactly modern, though. The Ford is more than old enough to receive Social Security checks, and the Dodge is hardly a young whippersnapper.
Other than both being pickups, these two models were made to serve very different functions. The Li'l Red Express was basically the progenitor of today's muscle trucks, with a big V8 that made it one of the quickest new models in its day (admittedly, 1979 was a rough time for automotive performance). On the other hand, the '33 Ford was just meant to work, with little pretense for anything else. One of the hosts describes it as "the simplest, most difficult" vehicle he's driven because of the tricky double clutchwork necessary to shift gears. Scroll down to watch the video and try to decide which of these two American classics you would rather have in your garage.

Ford picks up new Ranger overseas [w/video+poll]

Tue, Mar 24 2015

The new Ford F-150 is lighter and more efficient than the model it replaced, but if it's a smaller Ford pickup that you really wanted, you're going to have to pack your bags. Because while Dearborn stopped selling the Ranger in North America years ago, it still offers one in markets overseas. And it's just rolled out a refreshed model at the 2015 Bangkok Motor Show in Thailand. Following the reveal of the new Everest sport-ute with which it shares its chassis, the refreshed Ranger pickup benefits from revised sheetmetal, powertrain and equipment throughout. The changes are punctuated by a front end with a more rugged-looking grille, a more sculpted hood and projector headlamps. The interior has been updated as well, not only in terms of style but equipment as well, with an eight-inch touchscreen display in the dashboard running Sync 2 and dual TFT displays flanking the speedo in the instrument cluster. Under the hood, buyers will be able to choose between a carryover 2.5-liter inline four with 163 horsepower and 166 pound-feet of torque that's the sole gasoline option or one of two diesel options: a 2.2-liter four now producing 158 hp and 284 lb-ft, or a 3.2-liter inline-five with 197 hp and 347 lb-ft. The diesel engines are more efficient than before with available stop/start engine management, and offer what Ford says is class-leading towing capability. Six-speed automatic or manual gearboxes transmit the power to the road through either the rear wheels or all four. Production will continue in Thailand for the Asia Pacific Market, South Africa for Africa and Europe, and in Argentina for Latin America. All told the new Ranger will be offered in 180 markets, around the world but for better or worse, ours won't be one of them. This content is hosted by a third party.
