1970 Ford F100 Ranger Xlt Short Bed | California Truck | 360 V-8 | 3 Speed on 2040-cars
Fargo, North Dakota, United States
|
Just in from Palm Springs, California, this truck is a beauty. It appears to have had one repaint. It's no show truck, but it has a very shiny black finish that looks very good. I get many thumbs up driving this one; it's a driver - looks good, and you don't have to fuss over it and worry about every little nick and scratch. I don't want to overstate (or understate, really) the looks of this truck - it has chips and flaws here and there, etc... however, it really is shiny and nice looking. And, since I believe the truck to have been a California truck all it's life (Calfornia title will be sent to you upon purchase), it is as rust-free and nice as any 44 year old west coast vehicle can be. Underneath is as clean as the top side. The bed appears to have never been used for work - I'm guessing the pickup must have been mostly a passenger vehicle, as I was unable to find any sign that the bed had seen any real truck use. Also, I'd guess that it had an older restoration on it, as the fuel system was full of old fuel when we bought the truck - we've since had thousands of dollars worth of work done on the truck, and I will gladly include the receipts with the sale. Powered by Ford's 360 V-8, this three speed (on the tree) truck has manual brakes and manual steering. While in Palm Springs this winter, the truck was completely serviced; brakes checked, wheel bearings packed, all fluids flushed and refilled - coolant, brake fluid, transmission and rear end, Holley carb rebuilt, new fuel filter and new fuel tank / sending unit along with a new battery. New glass pack mufflers were added to the dual exhaust. New Rocket Racing Torq Thrust rims were installed. A complete new clutch, flywheel and throwout bearing have been installed, along with a new speedometer cable. Three-point shoulder seat belts are already installed in the truck, replacing the factory lap belts. New "Ranger XLT" side emblems were added (if you notice the photos with the white "Ranger" were the old emblems, the reproduction new emblems have a black "Ranger" as shown in one of the photos - the old emblems had flaking paint and one was broken. The brand new emblems really set off the look of the truck!) In addition, a few areas of the paint were attended to - an area on the driver's door was professionally repainted below the trim, a spot on the rear top of the cab and also the top half of the tailgate were repainted. The truck originally had woodgrain decals on the side trim and tailgate - they were decaying and in bad shape, so the trim was removed and stripped of all wood grain, and bright red paint added for a much sportier look. One piece of vinyl was replaced on the lower driver's side seat (it had worn) otherwise the upholstery seems to be fantastic original. There are a few things here and there that you could do if you choose - the truck can be enjoyed as-is or easily take to whatever level you wish. This vehicle is for sale locally, and I reserve the right to remove this listing any time. If you're seriously interested in the truck, make me an offer and we can discuss it. I'll be glad to work with your shipping company and assist in any way I can. The truck is located in Fargo, ND 58103. If you buy the vehicle, you are BUYING the vehicle!

Ford F-35 Lightning II Edition Mustang appears at EAA Oshkosh
Sat, 26 Jul 2014Ford is back at the Experimental Aircraft Association AirVenture air show in Oshkosh, WI, on July 31 auctioning off its seventh Mustang for charity, and this is one seriously mean looking 2015 'Stang. All of the money from the sale goes to give free introductory flights to young people to get them interested in aviation.
We recently saw this latest EAA Mustang as a sketch. However, it looks a whole lot more menacing in person. Dubbed the Ford F-35 Lightning II Edition Mustang, it takes liberal inspiration from Lockheed Martin's latest fighter jet, and the customization makes the pony car look ready for a role in Top Gun.
On the outside, the special Mustang wears titanium-color paint that's offset by a black and yellow stripe running from hood to rear. Out back things get really wild with a mix of bright yellow and black that flows diagonally all the way to the rear spoiler. The design is based on the livery of early production F-35s. If the rousing color scheme isn't enough to get you interested, the car also gets a carbon fiber front splitter and rear diffuser, lowered suspension and a set of custom 21-inch wheels with yellow brake calipers.
Ken Block rally cars go blue in the face (and everywhere else)
Wed, 23 Jan 2013Well at least we now know why Ken Block "just ain't care" about smashing up his Ford Fiesta rally car recently. It's because he's getting a full brand makeover including a new team name, new paint scheme and even a new headquarters. Formerly known as Monster World Rally Team, Block and his Fiesta will now be competing under the Hoonigan Racing Division name, which is based out of a new 12,000 square foot facility located in Park City, UT.
As you can tell in the image above, Hoonigan Racing will replace the familiar black, white and green paint scheme with a more colorful design featuring plenty of blue, purple and red; the Monster Energy logo retains some of the car's green. The new paint scheme was inspired by Block's love of skateboard graphics from the '80s and early '90s as well as "Miami Vice-era" speedboats.
Block will continue to compete in multiple rally racing series such as Global RallyCross, World Rally Championship and X Games. The new headquarters features office space on one side and a shop for the cars on the other side. The building features plenty of stuff you'd expect from a company designed around Ken Block, including a massive gaming station for racing video games, recycled shipping containers used throughout the facility and a black bear.
Toyota again claims Corolla outsold Focus worldwide
Wed, 10 Apr 2013Toyota isn't convinced the Ford Focus was the best-selling nameplate globally last year. Bloomberg reports that for the second time in seven months, both Toyota and Ford are laying claim to the title. Ford cites R.L. Polk & Co. data that says the automaker moved some 1.02 million Focus models in 2012 compared to just 872,774 Toyota Corolla units. But Toyota says the actual figure is closer to 1.16 million Corolla models.
Last year, Ford said it took the sales crown through the fist half of 2012 based on information from IHS Automotive, but Toyota pointed out those numbers left out models like the Corolla-based Matrix and Auris, as well as the Corolla Fielder and Scion xB-based Corolla Rumion. Whether or not Toyota's belief that all these cars should be counted in the Corolla bucket is accurate or not is seemingly up for debate... as is the question of why it matters so much to both parties.
This time around, Ford is holding the line that the Focus is the "best-selling nameplate," with Erich Merkle, a US sales analyst with Ford saying the company's figure is, "a pure number that is verified by a third party." Toyota, meanwhile, has requested clarification from Polk.
