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.

Ford tweaking Model E dealer program to address dealer concerns
Wed, May 29 2024Ford's been working on its strategy and sales reorganization for a couple of years, the initiative that created the Blue (ICE), Pro (commercial), and Model E (electric) divisions. On the Model E side, part of continuous reworking of the EV arm has been in response to dealer lawsuits filed in numerous states, since Model E not only stipulated investments of anywhere from $500,000 to $1.2 million, the automaker initially wanted dealers to set no-haggle pricing, offer remote pickup and delivery for service appointments, and build chargers that would operate around-the-clock. Another big part of the tweaks to Model E is the continually unstable ground the entire electric project is built on. As part of understanding what dealers are facing and how to keep the electric wheels turning, Automotive News reports that the automaker held 11 meetings with dealers this year in six cities. Based on the feedback, more changes are coming to Model E as soon as next month.  During the roadshow, Ford told dealers to pause their investments into getting certified for Model E. This directive followed a corporate change in plans as Ford pulled investments in battery-electrics in favor of consumers' choice for hybrids. The head of Ford Blue — the internal-combustion-powered division that, with Ford Pro, has been paying the bills as Model E posts big losses — told AN, "We don't want them to make any decisions between now and the middle of June, when you can maybe have a more informed decision-making process based off what we work out with council in the next few weeks." One change has already been made public, the VP of EV programs telling an AutoNews business conference audience, “What weÂ’re finding is more dealers want to be involved in it and we donÂ’t want to be exclusive to just a handful, and so weÂ’re making a change where weÂ’re opening up that and not requiring as many certifications or investments for a dealer to participate in the EV revolution." Don't take that comment as a revelation; since the beginning, dealers complained about being excluded and needing to throw so much money at the program. Take that comment as Ford needing to find a better way in the "rapidly changing" environment. The official list of updates won't come until next month, when Ford meets its dealer council, and it should touch on topics beyond EVs.
2022 Rivian R1T vs. 2022 Ford F-150 Lightning vs. GMC Hummer EV Pickup | How they compare on paper
Tue, Sep 28 2021The 2022 Rivian R1T has arrived, ushering in the era of the production electric pickup truck. The Rivian reviews are in, and spoiler alert: They're pretty good. Curious how the new battery-powered truck stacks up to its forthcoming competitors? Well, you've come to the right place. Rivian beat all of Detroit's big automakers to market in the half-ton segment, but probably not by the margin the startup would have liked. Ford's answer is the F-150 Lightning, which is due to enter production early next year, coming hot on the heels of GM's first entry into the space – the GMC Hummer EV pickup – which is scheduled to come off the line late this fall. While all three are pickups, they're aimed at distinctly different buyers, as a perusal of their specifications will reveal. Let's have a look, shall we?  Disclaimer: Before we dive in on this one, we'd like to note that while we've made our best effort to verify the specs provided, the Rivian is brand-new and the others are still in the prototype phase. Some of these figures may be inaccurate or may simply change before production. This is all hypothetical until you can actually cross-shop them anyway, right? Cool. End disclaimer. Let's start with the powertrains. They're all battery-electric trucks engineered on a modular rear-wheel-drive configuration engineered to accommodate (theoretically, anyway) up to four electric drive units. Rivian actually makes the most use of this with a quad-motor setup producing 835 horsepower and 908 pound-feet of torque with its high-output initial model. GMC's three-motor Hummer has the R1T beat with its estimated 1,000-horsepower output, while Ford's (also three-motor) comes in with a far more modest 563 horses. This is an excellent illustration of our above point that these are not all engineered for the same crowd. Ford's F-150, which comes in at a lower price point, is meant to be far more mainstream, as its power output suggests. This theme continues when we look at the dimensions. Despite the image "Hummer" may conjure, GMC's entry actually needs the shallowest parking space. The Rivian is right behind it, with the work-truck-spec Ford extending more than a foot longer than either. What the Hummer lacks in length, it makes up for in girth. It's the widest by a good 5 inches. The Rivian is only slightly pudgier than the F-150, but it's much closer at that end of the scale.
Lincoln MKC recalled because start button located too close to touchscreen [UPDATE]
Wed, Dec 31 2014UPDATE: Ford spokesperson Kelli Felker responded to our questions and let us know that the fix for the push-button start on the 2015 MKC has the switch moved to the top of the of the column of gear shift buttons instead of the bottom. Owners should be notified about both campaigns "toward the end of February." After massive campaigns from General Motors and to fix Takata airbag inflators, 2014 will undoubtedly go down as The Year Of The Recall. And with little time to spare, Ford is getting in just under the wire to adding two more to its yearly total. The larger of the campaigns is actually one of the most bizarre campaigns we've heard of all year. Lincoln is recalling 13,574 units of its 2015 MKC compact crossover in North America to move the location of the push-button ignition switch on the dashboard. According to the automaker's announcement: "Due to the switch's close proximity to other controls, occupants are inadvertently shutting off the engine while driving." The button is located near the bottom of the touchscreen, which can apparently make it possible to hit by mistake. Back when Autoblog first drove the new MKC in June, we came away very impressed, but noted: "... we're still not completely sold on the aforementioned pushbutton transmission selector ... it still seems somewhat gimmicky and it can't be operated by feel alone, as you might when shifting a traditional console-mounted lever from Park to Drive." According to Lincoln, there have been no reported accidents or injuries stemming from this button misapplication. Of the affected vehicles, there are 11,144 in the US, 2,033 in Canada and 397 in Mexico. To fix the problem, dealers are moving the button to a different location and reprogramming the powertrain control module. According to Automotive News, models built since September already have a different layout. The change was reportedly done to match the rest of the Lincoln lineup. The second recall covers 12,205 units of the 2014 Ford Escape (2015 model year pictured below) and 2015 Lincoln MKC in North America because of a problem with nickel plating on the fuel pump. The issue can cause the pump to seize, which can cause the crossovers not to start or stall while driving. The automaker is not aware of any accidents or injuries related to this fault. Dealers are replacing the fuel deliver module to fix the situation. Of the affected vehicles, there are 9,038 in the US, 3,074 in Canada and 93 in Mexico.
