This auction is for a 2001 Ford Ranger 4X4. I am selling this as a project because the frame needs repaired. If you are not comfortable with fixing or having something like this fixed please don't bid. The reason I got a hold of this truck is that I do body work for a small dealer in my shop. I've done work for him for years and consider him a friend and a very honest business man. He bought this truck through an auction in January and sold it on his lot. His customer drove it up until a few days ago when his mechanic noticed the frame had a crack in it. He immediately bought the truck back and called me to come give him some advice on what to do with it. What I found was that someone put body filler over a bad spot and doctored it up to run through the sale. After six months plus of having body filler holding water against the frame now it has a much bigger problem than a crack. The auction wont do anything for him because its been so long since he bought it. He wanted nothing to do with the truck and gave me a price I couldn't refuse. So I bought it.

Overall this is too nice of a truck to just scrap because it has a frame issue. It runs great. The four wheel drive works and the air is ice cold. It has great tires and the miles are fantastic for this year of a truck. It does have some blisters showing on the bottoms of the doors and tailgate lip that is very common for a Ranger, but overall it is a sharp truck. Someone just made a small problem worse by trying to hide something instead of fixing it. They make a repair section for these and you can actually buy them on Ebay for $60. I also found a complete frame for $500 at Lapoints in Holland Ohio. If I were fixing it for myself I would just plate the frame. I don't have any intentions of fixing this truck and strictly bought it with intentions of passing it on to someone else to use and save a ton of money on a nice four wheel drive truck with low miles. I knocked every bit of the filler out of the hole so you can see exactly what the problem area looks like in the pictures.

Again if you are not a welder or someone who is comfortable changing a frame don't buy this truck. Its a project vehicle. I'm offering this truck at no reserve, so if you are not a serious bidder please don't bid. If you want to come and inspect the truck before bidding or have any other questions you can email through Ebay or call me @ (330) 432-3798. I have a clean and clear Ohio title in hand and ready to transfer at the time of payment.

Car companies used to cook up sales with recipe books

Fri, 08 Aug 2014

The evolution of automotive marketing has undergone a number of strange phases. Few, though, match the strangeness of the 1930s to 1950s, when automotive marketers turned to cookbooks as a means of promoting their vehicles. Yes, cookbooks. We can't make this stuff up, folks.
This bizarre trend led to General Motors distributing cookbooks under the guise of its then-subsidiary Frigidaire. Ford, meanwhile, offered a compilation of recipes from Ford Credit Employees (shown above). The cookbook-craze wasn't limited to domestic manufacturers, though. As The Detroit News discovered, both Rolls-Royce and Volkswagen got in on the trend, although not until the 1970s.
The News has the full story on this strange bit of marketing. Head over and take a look.

Ford Everest Concept shows China also has an affinity for big trucks

Mon, 21 Apr 2014

The Ford Everest Concept SUV at the 2014 Beijing Motor Show shows the future of the Blue Oval's truck line in China. While a concept for now, we're told that JMC, Ford's Chinese joint-venture partner, will build a production version sometime in the near future.
With design from Ford's Asia Pacific design team, the handsome seven-passenger SUV shows off some very muscular styling with wraparound headlights that hook into the contours of the angular trapezoidal grille. The beltline rises up the body in the rear and makes the back appear higher than the front. The rear is made from hard, chiseled contours that give the truck a very tough look. The Everest looks ready for some rough roads.
Ford is keeping the interior and mechanical details about the Everest a secret for now, but the SUV is rumored to share some components with the overseas Ranger pickup. The company has no plans to sell the truck in North America. Scroll down to read the official announcement, including the few details on its production.

Ford Ka Concept shown in Brazil, could enter production by 2014

Wed, 13 Nov 2013

The Ford Ka (pronounce it like a Bostonian saying "car") is the Blue Oval's sub-Fiesta offering in a number of markets that aren't North America. It's been a staple in Europe since it launched in 1996 and in South America since 1997, where it's enjoyed quite a bit of popularity as an affordable, efficient city car.
The European and South American models grew apart over the years, until Europe ended up with a Fiesta-inspired car and Brazil retained a more evolved version of the original Ka's styling. With this Ka Concept, which is really a concept in name only, Ford is previewing a Ka not just for the European market, but as the brand's new, global small car. With city car sales expected to grow dramatically in coming years and the ever increasing price of fuel, Ford's move to get a new, competitive car into the market on a global level isn't surprising.
Wearing Ford's new, familial grille, the Ka Concept features the same crisp, sculpted sheetmetal that's adorned the Fusion and Fiesta. Developed in-house by Ford Brazil, a production version could launch by 2014, according to Ford's press release. It's unclear what engines will sit under this car's hood, although we'd bet the 1.0-liter, EcoBoost three-cylinder from the Fiesta will be available at some point.
