1969 Ford F-100 Ranger 2x4 Shorty on 2040-cars
Cookeville, Tennessee, United States
Vehicle Title:Clear
Make: Ford
Drive Type: C-6 automatic
Model: F-100
Mileage: 104,612
Trim: ranger
I have decided to sell my 69 Ford F-100 Ranger 2x4 shorty. I have always loved old Ford pick-ups and bought this one 1 1/2 years ago at the F-100 Nationals in TN. I am part owner of an auto restoration shop in Cookeville, TN. and was there with a 67 Ranger long bed that we entered with that we had completed in time for the show. That truck took first place in class and had a 7 page magazine article written about it. Yes I know Ford trucks. This one was for sale by an elderly gentleman that loved it and had it for many years. I bought it because it is a cool 99% rust free Ford truck and I know what it would cost to put one in this condition if there were professional restoration services needed to be done. I am too busy with other businesses to find time to go out end enjoy this truck and have put minimal mileage on it since I have owned it. It has been in temperature control storage. Since I have owned truck it has always had 93 Octane Non-ethanol fuel.
The motor is a 1972 390 service block (heavy duty) ribbed FE with 4 Holley 4 barrel. I have all the receipts when the motor was built and the older gentleman used mostly NOS Ford High performance parts including cam. This truck runs awesome, sounds great and is powerful. I don't know how many miles are on the motor but the odometer says 004011 for the truck. I would suspect it is at 104012. I have decoded the door tag and this truck came with 360 2-V auto and 3.25 :1 rear gears. The C-6 that is in it shifts perfect and the drive train is solid. The truck was built in Canada and came Wimbledon White. The ex-owner said he two toned it. The interior is original to the truck with Zero tears, cuts or wear spots on seat. The only bad is someone put speakers in the lower doors.
The A/C is cold, cold and appears to be dealer installed. The tire have very low miles put on them and the wheel combo fits and grows on you. I took this to a car show and drag race a month ago and every where it went in town or down the interstate there were many thumbs up. This is a beautiful stock truck for the weekend driver and with minor little things it could be a knock out cruiser.
This F-100 is for sale locally (not a inexpensive truck but very affordable) and I reserve all right to shut auction down any time. This truck is very fairly priced and no disappointments expected and is exactly has described. There is money owed against it and all transaction will go through local bank holding the note.
A couple pictures are blurry but I put them here because I am not close enough to drive over to it and retake. There are pic's of cab mounts and underneath, and the oil pressure gauge shows high oil pressure. The under shots are to show that this truck is the 99% rust free I mentioned above. One pic is Australian Shepard was worried she might be left and would not get out. If you win and for any reason you are dissatisfied I will refund all monies. Any questions or comments can be directed to ebay email and will be answered in a reasonable amount of time. You can also call 931-881-8351 with any questions.

Car and Driver 10Best list cracked by Tesla Model S, BMW 3 Series left off
Fri, Nov 21 2014Car and Driver is keeping new blood pumping into its annual 10Best cars list with three new entries making it on for 2015 and a perennial favorite falling off. Among the biggest shocks this year is that the BMW 3 Series and 4 Series are no longer named, despite years of some portion of that lineup earning a mention. In another surprise, the Tesla Model S (specifically in S 60 trim to fit under the $80,000 cost cap) makes it to the 2015 roster and is the only electrically motivated member of the group. Despite the loss of the 3 Series, BMW isn't entirely shut out this year, because the M235i gets its name on the list. Car and Driver argues that the little coupe feels like a welcome throwback to the E46 chassis M3 of the early 2000s. In addition to the Model S, the final newbie to the annual group is the 2015 Ford Mustang GT. The inclusion of these new members knocks the Audi A6/A7 family and Ford Fiesta ST out from the 2014 rundown. The other seven models carry over from last year, including the Cadillac CTS, Chevrolet Corvette Stingray, Honda Accord, Mazda3, Mazda6, Porsche Boxster/Cayman and Volkswagen Golf/GTI. The 2015 10Best cars list certainly seems to have something for everyone from the hot hatch fan to the family man and even the green car driver, thanks to the addition of the Tesla. Head over to Car and Driver to read its detailed explanations for each vehicle's inclusion, but if you've got a difference of opinion or just really like the list, let us know in Comments.

Amazon looking to bring Kindle to your next car?
Mon, 25 Feb 2013Maybe so. The online retailer and digital media monolith recently announced the Amazon Cloud Player, an application for Ford Sync that allows users to stream media from their Amazon Cloud account directly to a Ford vehicle. This foray into automotive technology got the minds at Gigaom.com thinking about what could be next for Amazon. As Kevin Fitchard writes, the logical step is to make audio versions of your Kindle library selections available in your car. As he points out, Amazon has already laid the groundwork for such a move.
Amazon pulled the sheets back on Whispersync for Voice last year. The tech pairs ebooks with an Audible book for a small extra fee, allowing users to either read along with a narrator or switch between audio and text versions on command. Fitchard says it wouldn't be some great leap to apply the same principles to a car, where voice recognition software would allow users to pause or select chapters without ever taking their eyes off of the road.
It all sounds just fine to us, but Amazon hasn't said a thing about such a move. Still, we wouldn't be surprised to see the company come down this road in the near future just the same.
Ford board OK with Mulally stepping down earlier
Fri, 06 Sep 2013Ford's board is open to CEO Alan Mulally stepping down before his planned departure in 2014, inside sources are telling Reuters. Ford's plan of succession, aside from who would be his actual successor, has been something approaching common knowledge - the 68-year-old former Boeing exec had plans to stay through 2014. This was recently confirmed by Mulally himself on Bloomberg Television and in Automotive News.
Motivation for the about-face comes from what Reuters calls a "growing confidence" in the current crop of Ford execs, led by Mark Fields. Fields, Ford's current chief operating officer, has been tipped as Mulally's ultimate successor, although he's far from the only person with eyes on Ford's top job. Normally, Ford's board saying they're open to an executive, that's done very well for the company, stepping down early would be nearly unremarkable. It's the timing of this announcement, though, that makes this a big piece of news.
Recently, Mulally has been the subject of rumors that he's interested in taking the CEO position at tech giant Microsoft. The Redmond, Washington-based company's CEO, Steve Ballmer, told the media in August that he'd be retiring in a year's time. The fires were stoked when tech website AllThingsD speculated that Mulally would take the top spot, despite denials from the man himself. Could Ford's current boss become the new top dog at Microsoft? Will Mark Fields replace him? Could recently departed Renault exec Carlos Tavares land at Ford in some capacity? Let us know what you think below in Comments.
