1970 Ford f100 Ranger

Engine---360 (original)

Transmission---3 speed on the column

Brakes---manual drum

Steering---manual

Complete body-off restoration. We bought this F100 from the original owner with no intentions of doing a restoration. We were just going to clean it up a little. After realizing how solid this truck was we decided to restore it. We removed the body and bed and had the inside and under-side of the bed media blasted. The inside floor of the bed was extremely solid with just some light pitting. The underside was just as nice. The lower sides in front of and behind the tires were perfect with only a couple of pin-holes that showed up after the blasting. The floor of the cab was solid with only a small spot on the drivers floor that had began to show signs of rust. I removed the spot and replaced it with a 6"x6" patch (didn't really need it but did it anyway). We had the entire truck sanded and repainted the original Boxwood Green. We painted the underside of the bed but left the cab underside original. You can still see some of the original paint on the bottom of the cab. The body panels had no dents (other than a couple of small dings) so no body filler needed to be used other than a light skim-coat to make sure everything was smooth. We wanted to use as many of the original parts as we could so we only replaced the body-side molding and the front hood lip molding. The front grill, window chrome, emblems and all the glass is original to the truck. The truck has the complete original interior (still has the original FoMoCo rubber mat) except for a dash cover. The seat has a few small splits in the stitching (as you can see in the pictures) but we did not replace it because you cannot find the original material. The AM radio still works. The cigarette lighter doesn't look like it has ever been used. We replaced all the window and door rubbers. We put 8" wheels with bands and dog dish caps to give the truck a little better look. We replaced all 4 shocks, both rear leaf springs and some bushings to help with the ride. The engine is original to the truck and runs and sounds great. I put a new head gasket and intake gasket on the engine and that was all I had to do to the engine.

This is a very solid and great running truck. This is not a $25000 restoration but if you are looking for a great truck that will turn heads and you will be proud to drive then this is the truck for you. I have tried to describe in detail as much as I can. I am sure I have left something out but I don't like to "over sell" something. Let the pictures tell you the rest.

Top Gear season 25 opens with a V8 roadtrip through America

Mon, Feb 26 2018

Great news for fans of BBC Top Gear: the first episode of season 25 is here. Viewers of BBC America will catch the season opener on March 3, and for the American audience this episode is definitely suitable watching. The episode has been dedicated to V8 sportscars almost in its entirety, as it's been wrapped around a Western roadtrip with a motorsport bias. The three hosts get to choose three V8 sports cars, with the basic idea of finding the best all-rounder. Matt LeBlanc goes for a Hennessey-tuned GT350R, Rory Reid chooses a Jaguar F-Type SVR, and Chris Harris shakes up the pack by selecting a McLaren 570GT. It's a nicely varied trio, with V8 power still showing what it's good for. There are various challenges along the way, just like there should be on a Top Gear roadtrip episode – even if the road surface itself isn't always ideal. But things smoothen out, all the way to a NASCAR oval and an airport runway; the flooded Bonneville salt flats aren't suitable for shenanigans, so substitutes have to be found. The trio also hit dirt roads, and have to evade a buggy-driving Ken Block during a "moonshine run to the border." Fans of Sabine Schmitz will be pleased to find her piloting a chain car racer, which consists of two American junk cars with a Honda CRX chained in the middle. It must make sense to someone. The Star In A Reasonably Priced Car segment has been retained for this season. This time it's the British actor Rob Brydon driving the Toyota GT86, on a very wet lap around the show's Dunsfold Aerodrome track that must be a cult classic by now. All in all, the season 25 opener is exactly what it says on the tin. There's nothing out of the ordinary, but it still has excellent cinematography, V8 roar and some nice landscapes. Classic Top Gear. Cowboy duels, Sabine Schmitz chain car racing, @RobBrydon, a @kblock43 car chase and #TheStig The latest episode of #TopGear is available on @BBCiPlayer now. Outside the UK?

2015 Ford Mustang production starts in Flat Rock

Thu, 28 Aug 2014

Today's the day, Ford fans. Production has officially commenced on the sixth-generation 2015 Mustang at the company's Flat Rock, MI factory. As production ramps up, sales should kick off in the coming months.
The production news isn't just a bit deal for American fans. With the new Mustang getting a bespoke right-hand-drive variant, the pony car's worldwide availability has swollen to include 120 different countries, including its home nation.
"Mustang is and will continue to be an automotive icon," Joe Hinrichs, Ford's president of the Americas, said in a statement. "Expanding its availability globally affords our customers around the world the opportunity to have a true firsthand Mustang experience - one unlike any other."

Ford pulls official support from top-level NHRA teams

Sun, 11 Aug 2013

As the smallest team in the sport, it wasn't really a surprise when Dodge decided to pull out of NASCAR, but Autoweek is reporting that Ford is looking to pull the plug on its professional-level NHRA sponsorships following the 2014 season. With attendance and television ratings down, the article reports that Ford is just backing out of the top series but will remain active in the Sportsman classes of racing, which are geared more toward the grassroots and semi-professional racers.
This means that one of drag racing's biggest names, John Force, will be left looking for new sponsorship after next season. Force, 64, has been with Ford for 17 years, winning 15 championships in that time and winning almost half of all Funny Car events in his Mustang since he started working with Ford in 1997, but after 2014, there could be some big shakeups at John Force Racing.
According to the report, Force would consider is moving over to the Top Fuel dragster series, although he could also move to another manufacturer to remain in the Funny Car series. With Ford on the way out, this leaves just Toyota and Dodge as the remaining active automakers in the highest levels of drag racing.
