Up for auction is a rare 1983 Ford Ranger with the factory 2.2L diesel (Perkins) engine and four-speed manual transmission. This is a 2WD model. The truck runs and drives, has not been on the road for a few years.

If you enjoy working on cars and appreciate the chance to own an inexpensive compact pickup which offers 32-40mpg, this might be for you. While it runs, drives and stops, it should be considered a project truck. Therefore, don't plan on driving it home.

I had seen this truck around town occasionally for many years and jumped at the first opportunity to purchase it. Later learned that the original owner used to drive it to Florida for the winters. The next owner quit driving it daily when the flywheel ring gear started to fail. It still starts (and runs very well) but the flywheel needs to be replaced for greater reliability. After months of searching, I located and purchased an entire Ranger Diesel package, consisting of replacement flywheel, transmission, starter, clutch kit, spare manifold and more.

One year later, I located a set of factory Ford aluminum rims (from a Georgia truck) and installed those. Another year later, I located a very nice matching aftermarket fiberglass cap (in Cleveland) and made that trip. During last summer, I purchased a sliding rear window assembly and replaced both batteries. If you are interested in continuing with the restoration concept, I have leads within a 50-mile radius, for more Ranger parts. The plan was to begin driving the truck this spring and continue performing upgrades / restoration as time allows. Or you could always use the drivetrain to perform a diesel-retrofit on a classic car.

Due to time constraints, I have decided to sell the truck, before it sits for another year.

What the truck needs: a new windshield, the flywheel needs to be replaced, the truck needs a lot of body rust repair, the doors require extra effort to close, needs new parking brake cables, A/C system needs repair (if you like air conditioning), could use a radio and it can use general maintenance such as fresh oil, belts, hoses, etc. before it sees any extended road-use. The fiberglass cap includes the C-clamps for mounting, but is not currently bolted down. Nice cap, it includes window screens, a third-brake light and rear door lock. The steering column works well, although the ignition tumbler does not appear to require a key to use.

Highlights: The truck starts easily in all temperatures, once the starter makes contact with the flywheel. The gauges all work correctly. The horn, heater, wipers and lights also work. The hard-to-find, rare diesel-only parts above, are included with this auction. This Ranger Diesel auction also includes a set of winter wheels with matching studded snow tires. This can be a very neat project, or maybe just an inexpensive utility vehicle for someone.

In addition to offering incredible fuel efficiency and reliability from the diesel engine, the vehicle's age is approaching classic status. That can mean inexpensive insurance, depending on how you plan to register it. As a factory diesel, it is also emissions-exempt for life, in many parts of the country. Be sure to check your local inspection laws regarding emission testing.

Terms of the auction are as follows: US sale, in person, only. $250 deposit is due within 24 hours of auction close, payable in US cash, Postal Service money order, or Paypal. The balance is due within five days after auction close, or at time of vehicle pickup (whichever is first) payable only in US cash or Postal Service money order. Assuming that full payment has been received per the above terms, I am willing to hold the truck up to 30 days after the auction close, in case you need time to arrange for transportation. Happy Bidding!

Farley reacts as UAW expands strike against Ford, GM

Fri, Sep 29 2023

Members of the United Auto Worker union walk out of the Chicago Ford Assembly Plant as Lance Williams from Lansing, Ill., waves the UAW flag Friday. (AP) Â As the United Auto Workers walk off the job at an additional Ford and General Motors plant, Ford CEO Jim Farley addressed investors and members of the media Friday, pleading the case for the company's latest overture to the union and addressing both public and investor concerns regarding the core issues facing American manufacturing.Â Farley made a public case for Ford's efforts to resolve the dispute, expressing frustration with the ongoing stalemate and noting both the concessions Ford offered before the strike began and the signing of a contract with Canada's Unifor. Farley also acknowledged UAW President Shawn Fain's success in getting the union's message out, quipping: "Shawn has been on TV more than Jake from State Farm at this point." The first-ever simultaneous strike against the Detroit Three automakers enters its third week with threats of continued expansion, but little in the way of obvious concrete progress.Â "If the UAW’s goal is a record contract, they have already achieved this," Farley said. "It is grossly irresponsible to escalate these strikes and hurt thousands of families." Farley also lamented the fact that EVs have become the subject of partisan conflict, with the company's recently announced battery production facilities taking heat from both pundits and investors as Ford was forced to press pause on the venture while negotiations continue. Former President Donald Trump dropped in to Michigan this week to declare EVs the enemy of blue-collar jobs. "They've become a political football, and that's a shame," he said. Friday saw an expansion of the UAW strike to Ford's Chicago assembly plant and GM's Lansing, Delta Township, Michigan, assembly plant, covering about 7,000 workers, Fain said in an announcement, bringing the total number of workers on the picket lines to 25,000. The strike will not include any additional members at Stellantis, where talks have reportedly been more productive. The Ford and GM plants went on strike at noon Eastern today (Friday). Ford builds the Explorer and Lincoln Aviator in Chicago. GM's Delta Township plant builds Chevy Traverse and Buick Enclave. "Despite our willingness to bargain, Ford and GM have refused to make meaningful progress," Fain said in a video address Friday morning.
