1972 Ford F100 Ranger XLT!!!

- XLT
-EXCELLENT chrome trim and front bumper.
-GREAT paint job. Not a SEMA winner, but definitely slick. I'd say a couple steps above a simple daily driver. 
-Black vinyl bench seat, black carpet, aftermarket radio.
-Good tires. 
-Sliding rear window.

-351W motor that runs SUPER smooth with a Holley 4 Barrel. Cranks right up every time. Manual choke lever mounted under dash. 
-I believe it's connected to a small block Ford C6. Shifts out perfectly. 
-POWER DISC BRAKES up front! Great stopping power. 
-Power Steering.
-Under dash factory AC Unit. 
-Spray in bed liner.
-The little things work. Headlights, brights, turn signals, cargo light, dome light, under-hood light, horn, radio. 
-The exhaust system (glass packs) sounds great! Runs out to long chrome tips!

Stuff that may need attention:
-Not sure the cigarette lighter works
-AC compressor is not there. 
-Couple of small leaks underneath. Maybe front seal and rear main seal. May need a trans pan gasket at some point. Just snugged the bolts down a little. Small things!
-REALLY tiny little bubble or two starting to show itself at bottom of doors. Not even broken through paint.
-Under the nice carpet dash cover, you can see a small crack in the dash pad. 

This truck is SOLID. The fire engine red paint is great. The chrome trim and bumpers are nice and flashy. The exhaust sounds tough. The steering is nice and tight. She cranks right up every time. I wouldn't be afraid to drive this truck anywhere, but like I always tell people, I would rather you check it all out yourself and get it home before going anywhere. That's what I would do with any old vehicle, just to be safe! I love this truck. If you are looking for a daily driver, head-turning solid truck, then look no further. This one is stellar. Got a couple little things to keep you busy and your wrenches turning, but what old car doesn't! Amazing truck. Get it before it's gone! Check out the video and thanks for looking!! 

Winning bidder to work out and cover shipping. I will help with loading up, too. Email with any questions. Truck is sold AS-IS, WHERE-IS. Comes with Bill of Sale. Lower and Fair reserve set.

IIHS says these are the safest cars of 2013

Wed, 02 Jan 2013

The Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS) has revealed its annual list of Top Safety Picks, an award that highlights automobiles it says offer "superior crash protection." A new and still more significant award, the Top Safety Pick+ honor, is given to those vehicles that earn good ratings for occupant protection in four out of five areas of measure. And while some 117 vehicles were given the TSP seal of approval for 2013, just 13 passed muster for TSP+.
To be fair, IIHS only evaluated 29 vehicles with its new testing procedures for TSP+ (we'd expect that the number of qualified cars will rise substantially for 2014). Luxury and Near Luxury midsize cars were the first groups evaluated, followed by midsizers in the Moderately Priced Cars category - unsurprisingly, it's only midsize cars that you'll find among the class this year.
Only two luxury sedans made the list of 13 for 2013: the Acura TL and Volvo S60. The other 11 cars on the list included entries from domestic, Japanese and German car makers: Dodge Avenger, Chrysler 200, Ford Fusion, Honda Accord (sedan and coupe), Kia Optima (but not its close kin, the Hyundai Sonata, strangely), Nissan Altima, Subaru Legacy and Outback, Suzuki Kizashi and the Volkswagen Passat all made the grade.

Ford S-Max Concept previews new look, technology for Euro seven-seater

Wed, 28 Aug 2013

Ford unveiled today the S-Max Concept, which comes with a new, sleek look and loaded with innovative technology, such as a heart-rate monitoring seat. But if you're heart is set on a minivan sports activity vehicle (SAV) and you live in the States, don't wait for this one - it's a Europe-only product, and we don't expect that to change when the next-gen S-Max is released.
The styling follows Ford's global design language, looking a bit like an overgrown Focus hatchback with the company's signature grille, wraparound headlamps, steeply raked windshield and curved roof line. Ford also implemented details to make the S-Max look longer and faster, such as a feature line on each side of the vehicle and muscular-looking fenders. The engine isn't Ford's most powerful, but the new 1.5-liter EcoBoost four-cylinder engine should be potent enough with turbocharging and other efficiency related technologies.
Ford says the new interior, which seats up to seven people, features high-quality materials and fine detailing, such as an "ultra-soft" leather wrap for the instrument panel and leather and carbon-fiber details on the seats. Ford's Sync connectivity system with MyFord Touch makes the car a wireless hotspot, and there's a tablet docking station for second-row occupants.

The fascinating forgotten civil defense history of Mister Softee trucks

Mon, 26 Aug 2013

Hemmings came across an interesting article from the Throwin' Wrenches blog about the intersection of ice cream, cars and civic duty in America's late 1950s. In particular, it focuses on the Mister Softee trucks, which criss-crossed neighborhoods of the eastern US serving ice cream. Looking past the ultra-durable vehicles used - heavy-duty Ford-based chassis, for what it's worth - the article delves into some deeper national-security territory.
See, Mister Softee truck owners were voluntary members of the Civil Defense, thanks to all the useful stuff (potable water, generators, freezers and fridges) that the machines carried with them for serving ice cream. Click over to Throwin' Wrenches for the full run down of how Mister Softee would have stepped in to help fight if the Cold War ever turned a little hotter.
