I bought two trucks as a package deal and cant keep both. So if your looking for a 68 ranger short bed look no further. Up for your consideration is a extremely nice well kept daily driven 1968 f-100. This truck has been in Georgia for years, from what I was told by the previous owner. It runs and drives great with a recent completely rebuilt stout 390, and manual 3 speed transmission. The truck still retains the factory column shift. The transmission shifts out great with a recent new clutch that has just been installed. Truck starts every time with the added electronic ignition. Engine and transmission runs/shift out great with no problems at all. No major leaks!! The brakes are all in working order as they should be. Truck also rides on a set of late model 15" ford wheels that are in great shape. Dual exhaust with factory exhaust manifolds. The interior is really nice considering the age of the truck. The dash pad has one crack in the middle only. Seat and carpet are all in really nice shape. The carpet is aftermarket and is in good shape but could use some trimming to fit better. Added seat belts along with the new AM/FM/CD player with ipod/aux connect port. All the glass is perfect except for one minor crack on passenger side front windshield. The crack is not bad and is definitely NOT in your line of site while driving. It may be repairable? All the rest of the glass is great with no fogging. Truck has a sliding back glass.  All the gauges work perfectly.  All the lights, tail lights, turn signals, emergency flashers, wipers, etc.. work perfectly. As far as the body I guarantee you wont be disappointed! All the chrome seems to be present except for the small marker lens on passenger side bed side ( cheap part). And there are only 2 small rust holes on the outside body that I could find to speak of. One small hole on lower driver door. And a very small pin hole on passenger side front fender.  The inside of the bed is mint with no rust at all. The bed sides are perfect. Near Perfect floor pans,front body mounts, tailgate, hood, etc.. I have included some pictures down below of all these areas. I just drove this truck 80 miles with absolutely no problems. This truck is good to go mechanically only needing minor cosmetics, or just enjoy it and drive it as is. This is one of the nicest 67-72 ford truck unrestored body's that I have seen in years. So good luck and you don't want to miss this one! Low reserve 


Truck may be for sale/trade locally so I have the rite to end auction early if sold. When reserve is met it will be sold here only. 
I have described the truck to the best of my knowledge. But if you have questions please ask before you bid and only bid if you plan to pay!
500.00 deposit due rite after auction ends unless other arrangements discussed previously. 

Georgia does not and will not issue titles for classics of this age. Truck will be sold with current open Georgia state bill of sale along with a Current signed tag recite. With these items you should be able to obtain a title in your state if needed.

Ford jumps back in the water with marinized 6.2L V8

Wed, 06 Nov 2013

Nameplates like the Mercury Mariner and Lincoln Navigator aside, Ford hasn't offered a marine engine in over two decades. But through a new partnership with one of the biggest names in the business, the Dearborn-based automaker is dipping its proverbial toes back in the water.
Announced yesterday at the SEMA Show in Las Vegas, the new partnership between Ford Component Sales and Indmar Marine Engines will see the 6.2-liter V8 from the F-150 SVT Raptor and F-Series Super Duty marinized for use in boats.
The largest privately owned inboard gasoline marine engine manufacturer in the world, Indmar has been in the business for 43 years, and figures the Ford V8 will be just what watersport enthusiasts are looking for to tow waterskiers and wakeboarders to their hearts' content.

United States drivers buying fewer Mexican-made cars

Tue, May 10 2016

Crossovers and pickup trucks are not only growing in market share, they're also more profitable than cars. A crossover on the same platform as a sedan retails for thousands more, despite similar components. It's one of the reasons we've seen automakers rapidly shifting production of their sedans and hatchbacks to Mexico, where cheap labor preserves the thin profit margins on these inexpensive vehicles. But as the market continues to shift in the United States, Mexico is getting burned by its lack of product diversity. The country's auto exports, which are heavy on cars, suffered a 16-percent drop last month, Automotive News reports. In total, year-over-year exports fell from 233,515 to 197,020 last month, while year-to-date exports are down by 7.4 percent, from 922,029 to 854,118. The number one culprit? America – which usually accounts for 75 percent of Mexico's exports – and its appetite for crossovers and pickup trucks bolstered by cheap gas prices. While Mexico does build some light truck models – AN specifically calls out the Ram 2500, Honda HR-V, GMC Sierra, and Toyota Tacoma as export leaders – the vast majority of vehicles rolling out of its factories are sedans and hatchbacks. In fact, the three biggest drops in Mexican exports came from companies whose south of the border factories only build cars – Ford (Fusion/Lincoln MKZ and Fiesta), Mazda (Mazda3), and Volkswagen (Golf and Jetta). Mexican Automotive Industry Association President Eduardo Solis told AN the export shortfall will likely be sorted out sooner rather than later, thanks to a pair of new factories – a Kia car factory and an Audi SUV plant – that are coming online by year's end. The two facilities will add around 100,000 vehicles to the country's export totals, which Solis said should leave the industry on the verge of breaking another export record in 2016. But how sustainable will these record-breaking years be? Slapping an "Hecho en Mexico" sticker on a new German SUV won't be enough to change the fact that Mexico's product mix is tilted too heavily towards body styles that are not growing in volume. Mexico's record-breaking export years probably aren't at an end, but we'd argue they're certainly under threat.

Ford, Renault, VW shareholder oppose French aid for PSA/Peugeot-Citro"en

Mon, 29 Oct 2012

Pots and kettles, glass houses and stones - that's a little of what we appear to have going on in the European car market. New reports say that that three European automakers have registered their opposition to a loan deal that PSA/Peugeot-Citroën is working on with the French government. Peugeot's finance arm, Banque PSA Finance, is struggling with its debts and has been downgraded by Moody's to its lowest investment-grade classification, one step above junk. This makes it more expensive for a potential buyer to finance a car through Peugeot. The last thing Peugeot needs is more difficulty selling cars in the tough European market, and the situation will only worsen if the bank's credit worthiness takes another hit.
A deal being worked on would have the French government offer €7 billion ($9B U.S.) in bonds to guarantee the bank's loans, which would give the institution some breathing room to manage its debts and lower its interest rates. Outside of that, a group of banks would provide other, non-guaranteed loans to the bank to further help its position. In exchange for state help, though, the government wants seats on Peugeot's board for worker representatives and a government liaison, along with factory and worker guarantees. The Peugeot family would maintain control of the company.
So what we have is government assistance being provided to a car company's finance arm, akin to the way General Motors' GMAC (now Ally Financial) and Chrysler Financial got help in their time of need. What we also have is Ford and Renault, and Germany's State of Lower Saxony, the second-largest shareholder in Volkswagen, voicing their concern about the proposal, because they say it could create an unfair competitive advantage for Peugeot. Everyone in Europe's down market is fighting for every sale, and if Peugeot gets help to keep its auto loan costs down, it figures to help buyers choose Peugeot or Citroën.
