Just in from Palm Springs, California, this truck is a beauty. It appears to have had one repaint. It's no show truck, but it has a very shiny black finish that looks very good. I get many thumbs up driving this one; it's a driver - looks good, and you don't have to fuss over it and worry about every little nick and scratch. I don't want to overstate (or understate, really) the looks of this truck - it has chips and flaws here and there, etc... however, it really is shiny and nice looking. And, since I believe the truck to have been a California truck all it's life (Calfornia title will be sent to you upon purchase), it is as rust-free and nice as any 44 year old west coast vehicle can be. Underneath is as clean as the top side. The bed appears to have never been used for work - I'm guessing the pickup must have been mostly a passenger vehicle, as I was unable to find any sign that the bed had seen any real truck use. Also, I'd guess that it had an older restoration on it, as the fuel system was full of old fuel when we bought the truck - we've since had thousands of dollars worth of work done on the truck, and I will gladly include the receipts with the sale. 

Powered by Ford's 360 V-8, this three speed (on the tree) truck has manual brakes and manual steering. While in Palm Springs this winter, the truck was completely serviced; brakes checked, wheel bearings packed, all fluids flushed and refilled - coolant, brake fluid, transmission and rear end, Holley carb rebuilt, new fuel filter and new fuel tank / sending unit along with a new battery. New glass pack mufflers were added to the dual exhaust. New Rocket Racing Torq Thrust rims were installed. A complete new clutch, flywheel and throwout bearing have been installed, along with a new speedometer cable. Three-point shoulder seat belts are already installed in the truck, replacing the factory lap belts. New "Ranger XLT" side emblems were added (if you notice the photos with the white "Ranger" were the old emblems, the reproduction new emblems have a black "Ranger" as shown in one of the photos - the old emblems had flaking paint and one was broken. The brand new emblems really set off the look of the truck!)

In addition, a few areas of the paint were attended to - an area on the driver's door was professionally repainted below the trim, a spot on the rear top of the cab and also the top half of the tailgate were repainted.

The truck originally had woodgrain decals on the side trim and tailgate - they were decaying and in bad shape, so the trim was removed and stripped of all wood grain, and bright red paint added for a much sportier look.

One piece of vinyl was replaced on the lower driver's side seat (it had worn) otherwise the upholstery seems to be fantastic original. There are a few things here and there that you could do if you choose - the truck can be enjoyed as-is or easily take to whatever level you wish.

This vehicle is for sale locally, and I reserve the right to remove this listing any time. If you're seriously interested in the truck, make me an offer and we can discuss it. I'll be glad to work with your shipping company and assist in any way I can. The truck is located in Fargo, ND 58103.

Ford vandalizes the SEMA Show floor with 2014 Transit Connect

Tue, 05 Nov 2013

The Ford booth here at SEMA is practically a 1970s throwback with all these customized vans sitting front and center. And we're completely fine with that. Take the black and yellow (black and yellow, black and yellow) 2014 Transit Connect from Mobsteel above. It's got a great stance, sits on steel wheels and has a pretty cool paint job and graphics package to boot.
Of course, that's not the only van you can see at the Ford booth. In fact, there are 10 Transit Connect vans on display from Ford here at SEMA, and you can see them all in our live gallery of high-res images above. Then, if you want to know more about each specific model, feel free to scroll down to read all about these vans in the official press release from Ford.

Ford F-150 could be affected by tornado-damaged supplier in S.C.

Wed, Apr 22 2020

The disruption caused by a tornado that severely damaged a South Carolina auto-parts plant and killed a contract security guard last week could be felt by more automakers than just Ford and affect more than just its best-selling F-Series pickup, which is due for an update. And there’s still no estimate for when operations might resume at the plant. The Detroit Free Press reports that the BorgWarner plant in Seneca, near Greenville, makes transfer cases for F-150 and Super Duty pickups, the Ford Explorer and Expedition, Transit cargo vans, and Lincoln Navigator and Aviator SUVs. ItÂ’s also a supplier for the Ram 1500 and Toyota Tundra trucks. Transfer cases shift power from the transmission to the front and rear axles in four-wheel-drive vehicles. BorgWarner says it still has no update for when it might partially or fully resume operations. The tornado that ripped through the area in the western part of the state on April 13 tore the roof, walls and signage off the factory and killed a 77-year-old contract worker when the security building he was sheltering in collapsed. Only four or five others were inside the plant, which has been idled because of the coronavirus outbreak, when the tornado struck. In an SEC filing on Friday, Ford said it has sent employees to the site to help BorgWarner and assess the damage to FordÂ’s tooling. “Initial assessments indicate that the Ford tooling was not materially damaged in this incident,” Ford said in the filing. “We do not have sufficient information to estimate when the facility will be back on-line or whether or the extent to which this incident will impact our plans to resume production of four-wheel drive and all-wheel drive vehicles.” A Fiat Chrysler spokeswoman also told the Freep the company was working with BorgWarner on recovery plans. A Toyota spokesman told Autoblog that "we are collaborating with BorgWarner to help restore production for transfer cases for Tundra assembly. We are confident that theyÂ’ll fully recover over time." Like other automakers, Ford shut down production at its U.S. plants last month as a precaution against the coronavirus pandemic. But Ford hasnÂ’t yet said when it plans to reopen its factories. FCA is targeting May 4 to resume production. Models like the F-150 and Lincoln Navigator are major sources of profit for Ford, which estimated it lost $2 billion in the first quarter.

Find out if the Ford Fiesta ST can match Europe's latest hot hatches

Tue, 11 Feb 2014

The V8 grunt of the Mustang has defined Ford performance cars in the US for the last 50 years, but in Europe, the Blue Oval has nearly as a long history of building some of the best hot hatches on the market with the Fiesta, Escort and later the Focus. The latest Fiesta ST has just hit the roads on both sides of the pond and has been enthusiastically received thanks to its combination of a peppy, turbocharged engine and hatchback utility.
However, Europe is getting a bumper crop of hot hatches at the moment, including the forthcoming, third-generation Mini Cooper S. Should Ford have waited to launch the ST until it knew how the competition performed? That's the answer that Xcar is after in its latest video, and it took the Fiesta to the track and some very misty, Welsh roads to find out. Scroll down to find out whether the ST stacks up.
