1968 Ford F100 Ranger 1 Owner Survivor on 2040-cars
Fayetteville, Georgia, United States
|
Original unrestored 1968 Ford F100 Ranger in great condition. Truck has 113,000 miles on original 360 2bbl v-8 and automatic transmission.
Engine runs great, and transmission shifts well. Truck has recent tune up including rebuilt carb, points and condenser, plugs and wires. Truck also has new battery and 4 new tires. I recently drove this truck on a 120 mile trip with no problems.
Body is in great shape - body panels are straight and fit well. Doors function wonderfully and shut with a solid 'click'. Bed is solid with some light surface rust. I have owned several of these trucks, and I have never had a bed in such good condition - fender wells are dent free, bed floor is straight with no holes, paint on inside of tailgate isn't even scratched. There is some damage to driver front hood/headlight bezel/fender where owner ran into a column while parking in their garage...what a shame because the rest of the truck is amazingly straight. Replacement parts can easily be found. Rust: the cab support at the rear of the cab has some rust, as does the driver cab corner behind the body trim.
Truck has manual steering and brakes. Steering is tight, and truck cruises straight down the road, even when you take your hand off the wheel.
Interior is complete and in good shape for its age. Seat cover is torn on drivers side, carpet is 45 years old. Visors and Headliner are in good shape. Original Radio still in place. Dash pad has crack in middle. Steering wheel is almost perfect - has 1 small crack at base of the horn ring. Dome light still works when you open the door!
Gas gauge not currently working. Has exhaust leak on passenger side.
I purchased this truck from the widow and son of the original owner with plans to turn it into a resto-mod driver. After getting it home and seeing the condition its in, I just could not bring myself to tear it apart...

Ford tops mid-year ranking of brands in the US
Thu, 18 Jul 2013YouGov's mid-year Brand Index rankings of America's best perceived brands has been released, and Ford has found its way to the top. The Dearborn, Michigan based manufacturer beat out online shopping giant Amazon, The History Channel, and home improvement superstore Lowe's, to take the top spot.
Ford jumped from sixth overall in 2012 to first for 2013, but those that have been watching these rankings shouldn't be hugely surprised. Ford was rated the best perceived automotive manufacturer by the same organization last year. The Blue Oval's success on the overall brand rankings is made all the more impressive by the complete lack of other automakers on the list.
YouGov (that is, survey respondents) cited Ford's first quarter of 2013 business, which saw an increase in market share and the best earnings recorded in over 10 years. Successfully launching the Focus and Fusion (pictured) and keeping them fresh in the minds of consumers has also contributed to Ford's best overall score.
Leno recalls '90s showdown with Tim Allen and his mullet
Wed, Oct 7 2015Not many of us have buddies with garages full of classic cars, but that isn't the case for Jay Leno and Tim Allen. Of course, one of the advantages for two guys with such vast collections is occasionally getting to pit their cars against each other. The two comedians did just that in the mid-'90s with a burnout battle on The Tonight Show between Allen in a race-prepped Mustang and Leno in a drag racer. After some time away from regular television, Leno is returning to the airwaves with a Jay Leno's Garage series premiering on Oct. 7 (tonight) at 10:00 p.m. ET on CNBC. Let this clip serve as another taste of what to expect for the new TV show's mix of comedy and cars. After reminiscing about the old days in a gorgeous garage, the comedians get into two modern machines to reprise the classic challenge – after a little trash talk anyway. Don't worry because the YouTube series isn't going anywhere, though.
Ford family keeps special voting rights
Fri, 10 May 2013Ford Motor Company has a dual-class stock structure of Class A and Class B shares. The roughly three billion Class A shares are for the general public like you and me, while the roughly 71 million Class B shares are all owned by the Ford family. Each Class A share gets the shareholder one vote, each Class B share is worth 16 votes, the result being that Common Stock holders control about 60 percent of the company while the Ford family controls 40 percent even though it holds far fewer shares. The only way that could ever change would be if the Fords sell their Class B shares, but even so, Class B shares revert to Class A when sold outside the family, so they'd have to sell a whole bunch of them.
A contingent of Class A shareholders think the dual-class system is unfair, and for the past few years a vote's been held during the annual shareholders meeting to end it. It has failed every time, as it just did again during the meeting held this week. A smidge over 33 percent voted to end the dual system, outvoted by the 67 percent who are happy with the way Ford is going - unsurprising in view of a corporate turnaround that will be part of business-class curricula for years to come.
On the sidelines, Ford elected Ellen R. Marram to the post of independent director, the first woman to hold the job. The former Tropicana CEO and 20-year Ford board member replaces retiring board member Irvine Hockaday who helped bring Alan Mulally to the CEO position.
