Ford F100 Ranger , California Truck Solid And Straight on 2040-cars
Shortsville, New York, United States
|
This truck has great potential as either a driver or restoration.
The truck has a great vintage look to it that attracts attention every time I drive it . The 1971 ranger package f100 in this condition is very rare. It has a 360 v8 that was rebuilt before I bought it. Overall clean under the hood . The auto transmission shifts as it should. The truck is equipped with a brake controller that looks original. The exhaust is new.The door gaskets have been replaced. The interior is redone fairly well. The seat has been recovered. Unfortunately the original radio is gone but there is a cd player with remote. Power Steering, Power Brakes, Airconditioning, Brake controller, Cd player with amp. Not molested or beat. This was a gentlemans truck. The paint is a 10 footer but its not that bad. The navy blue is a 7 out of 10. It could be buffed out to look better. The bed has a spray in liner in decent condition. There are a couple spots with rust bubbles but not bad. One the size of a 50 cent piece on the passenger door and some on the tailgate here and there, small ones. Overall a great truck to restore or fix up and drive. California truck, not rotted out , great condition. What it needs are a carb rebuild , the brakes done , and some rims and tires. I am not sure about the drips but they aren't terrible and the truck doesn't lose oil noticeably. Look at the pics, she is straight and in really good shape, if I had time I would fix her myself. Breaks my heart really because I know when I look back Im going to kick myself for selling . I just want another ford guy who can fix this truck up to buy it. Clear title in hand. I will require a 500 dollar non-refundable deposit within 24 hours of auction ending , buyer is responsible for shipping. I think you would be better off shipping or trailer the truck as the brakes do need attention before driving too much. Thanks for looking, and message me if you have questions. The reserve is a fair price and I will help out the buyer by being available to the shipper. |

Mustang-themed pinball game debuting in Chicago [w/video]
Wed, 05 Feb 2014Believe it or not, but new pinball machines are still being made. Chicago-based Stern Pinball still makes them and has found a niche selling modern machines to individual buyers and arcade distributors. For its latest cabinet, Stern partnered with Ford to create a pinball game that pays homage to the 50th anniversary of the Mustang, including the next generation. The new machine is being unveiled at the Chicago Auto Show on February 6 and goes on sale in March.
Stern is offering the machine in three variants. The pro-level machine is meant for arcades and public spaces and retails for $4,995. All of them come with background and cabinet art by Camilo Pardo, who designed the Ford GT, and Top Gear USA host Tanner Foust is the game's announcer. Depending on where players shoot the ball, they activate events that simulate drag racing, rallying, drifting and racing the Mustang, and hitting targets lets players shift the gears up and down.
An upgraded, premium table with added art will be added later for pinball machine collectors. The third model is a signed, special edition with art of the 1965 Mustang and 2015 Mustang on the machine and chrome and Mustang badges on the speaker grilles. Prices for these editions will be announced later.
GM readying aluminum-body fullsize pickups
Wed, 19 Feb 2014Ford's extensive use of aluminum in its 2015 F-150 is a big deal. A really big deal. Big enough, in fact, that General Motors is reportedly changing its fullsize pickup strategy. According to The Wall Street Journal, The General has locked in partnerships with Alcoa Inc. and Novelis Inc. - companies that will supply aluminum for the next-generation Chevrolet Silverado and GMC Sierra trucks.
"Ford's introduction of the 2015 F-150 pickup truck was a game changer, and it's the first, not the last, conversion of this type," Novelis spokesperson Charles Belbin told the Journal. The switch to aluminum has allowed Ford to shave roughly 700 pounds off its fullsize truck's curb weight. And while official mileage ratings have not been announced, the weight loss should go a long way for improving efficiency, especially when combined other efficiency-minded improvements including better aerodynamics and new, turbocharged V6 engines.
Of course, aluminum-bodied cars are nothing new. But extensive use of aluminum in a major, best-selling product like the Ford F-150 is expected to kick off widespread use of this weight-saving material as availability rises and cost decreases. The WSJ reports that GM had originally explored the idea of moving to aluminum pickups back in 2008, but abandoned the idea due to cost concerns amid economic woes.
Ford only automaker to make 2012 Buzz Rankings, Toyota most improved
Wed, 30 Jan 2013Ford landed itself a spot among the top 10 brands in the 2012 Buzz Rankings. The annual index scores 1,100 brands in 41 categories to determine which nameplates had the most positive buzz throughout the year.
For the third year in a row, Subway took the top honors overall with a score of 40.3, and Ford was the only automaker to break into the top 25 by earning a sixth-place finish overall. The manufacturer earned a score of 32.1 points, which was enough to push it up one spot from the 2011 Buzz Rankings. Honda managed 21.2 points overall, which is still well behind 25th-place Kohl's at 26.5 points. Toyota, Volkswagen and BMW all round out the top five automakers.
The 2012 Buzz Rankings also keep track of which brands improved the most over the past year, and this year, Toyota was the manufacturer with the largest leap forward. The Japanese automaker jumped from just 14 points in 2011 to 20.5 in 2012. Chrysler, Kia, Dodge and Volkswagen all saw sizable steps forward as well.
