1979 Ford F-150 Ranger 4x4

Up for auction with NO RESERVE is the Ford truck I thought I would never sell. I did lots of research and found the perfect truck, I thought would last forever. Unfortunately, my wife's grandfather passed, and his beloved pickup was going to be discarded. We've elected to save grandpa's truck for sentimental value, and...

It's a great opportunity for the right buyer.

I purchased the truck from a close friend of the original buyer. The truck was built in San Jose, and bought in 1978 by it's original owner, a Ford employee. The truck has been covered, or garaged for almost its entire life, and never registered outside of California. The original paint is in good shape for 30 plus years. It's an awesome blue, with subtle metallic flake. Overall exterior condition is very good for it's age. It is not a show truck yet, but with matching numbers, and almost all original equipment,  it certainly could be. The photos speak for themselves.

Modification's are minimal. The truck sits on a 2" body lift, which looks great! Also has an aftermarket chrome grill, and new model rearview mirror with temp and compass features. A small motor for a "hood squirt gun" was installed by original owner, but is not currently hooked up. Also a Flowmaster muffler is installed.

Mechanically, the truck is sound. Starter motor and ignition were replaced less than a year ago, and the truck fires right up! Motor runs well, shifts well, and brakes. Power steering works great! Drives Great! The truck is equipped with Power Assist brakes, but may need work. Stops with manual brake pressure fine.

Transmission is a 4 speed with Granny low. 4x4 works great, although I've used it very little.

NP 205 Transfer Case and solid front axel. The 6th generation F-150 is considered to be one of the must robust and durable truck designs from Ford.

I have never taken this truck off road, and it has been more of a Sunday Driver than anything for me.

Mileage comes in just over 71, 000. but my guess is it's been over once already.

The truck has a Sony CD player, FM/AM radio, and two JLB speakers, which sound great. A Cobra CB radio is also installed.

I'm also including rare factory service manuals, and a Weather Shield HD black custom cover, which cost around $500.

What else can I say? The truck is in great condition for is age inside and out. It's good to drive, and can be kept a daily driver, or customized to your liking.

Please feel free to contact me with any questions, and I'll be happy to answer them to the best of my ability.

This is a truly awesome truck, and I'll miss it dearly.

Thank you, and GOOD LUCK! Did I mention, NO RESERVE!



I have described the truck to the best of my ability, and am selling AS-IS.

Ford's Mulally makes shortlist for Microsoft CEO

Fri, 08 Nov 2013

Ford CEO Alan Mulally has made the short list to take over tech giant Microsoft, lending further credence to rumors that the 68-year-old former Boeing exec would ditch Dearborn and move to Redmond.
The report comes from Reuters, which claims that alongside Mulally, former Nokia CEO Stephen Elop and three candidates from within Microsoft are on the short list to succeed Steve Ballmer at the company's helm, although previous reports claim the Ford exec is the number one candidate. Mulally is currently working without a contract, although Bill Ford seems to believe that he isn't likely to depart. Despite this belief, Ford was quoted just last month talking about the depth of talent on the Blue Oval's executive team.
"There is no change from what we announced last November. Alan remains fully focused on continuing to make progress on our One Ford plan. We do not engage in speculation," said Ford spokesman Jay Cooney.

Feds Probe Power Steering In 938,000 Ford Midsize Cars

Mon, Oct 6 2014

U.S. safety regulators are investigating complaints that the power-assisted steering can suddenly fail on three Ford midsize car models. The probe covers 938,000 Ford Fusion and Lincoln MKZ cars from the 2010 through 2012 model years, as well as the 2010 and 2011 Mercury Milan. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration says it has received 508 complaints alleging that the cars lost power-assisted steering, causing increased steering effort. Four complaints say the problem caused crashes, but no injuries were reported. The agency says in documents posted Monday on its website that in many cases, a warning message appeared as the failure happened. Restarting the car corrected the problem in some cases, but the problem returned in others. The agency says it will check the scope and frequency of a problem. It could seek a recall. Ford says it's cooperating with the probe. Shares of Ford Motor Co. rose 6 cents to $14.65 in morning trading Monday. Its shares are down 14 percent over the past year.
