For your enjoyment: One 1976 Ford F – 150 Ranger. Very reasonable reserve on this hand some half-ton.  This one owner estate sale truck has to be seen to be believed. It is an absolute time capsule. Although it is 37 years old. It is virtually showroom fresh by todays standards. It is unrestored. All original two tone paint jade green, chrome yellow all original interior, all original running gear. If you have been looking for an unmolested original truck, look no further. This is a 78k original and documented mileage truck. No, it's not  159K makeover truck!  I have service and maintenance records since 1979. It still had the polyglass belted tires on it when I purchased it. It now has brand-new radials on it. The truck also had the 70s vintage Winnebago canopy on it that was likely installed when the truck was new. I don't think there has ever been any water exposure to the bed. The truck has always been stored indoors is whole life. It has absolutely no cancer in it anywhere! That's right, none! This isn't a vehicle that looks good in pictures then you get suckered punched upon delivery. This truck shows better in person than in picts. No smoke in mirrors,no hype, no Disappointments. Check out the pics of the bottom of the doors and the rust free metal and original paint on those pinch welds at the bottom of the Corners. This is one solid truck. There has been no modifications to the truck that I can see. It still has the original Trico wiper arms and Westinghouse headlights as delivered from the factory. Check out the pics of the bottom of the doors and the rust free metal and Original paint on those pinch welds at the bottom of the cab corners. This is one solid truck. There has been no modifications to the truck that I can see.  The dealer install A/C blows ice cold! The 390 engine is smooth and quiet. It purrs like a newborn kitten at idle and roars like a lion when you open the blades of the factory 4bl Holley carburetor. No obnxious exhaust leaks that these trucks are known for no pings, rattles, Knoks, squeaks or other idiosyncrasies. The C-6 transmission shifts crisply on demand. The weatherstripping around the class is soft and pliable. No wind noise and no water leaks!  All of the lights work including the overlook back up lights and license plate lamp. The aluminum trim on this truck is amazingly shiny throughout. The front chrome bumper looks like it just came from the chrome shop. Check out the tailgate nameplate, it looks brand-new! The vinyl bench seat is perfect save for one teency weency cut on the top of the seat. The dash pad is flawless and the carpet is in perfect thanks to that throwback one piece floormat that's been in there since the Carter administration! You need some tunes for cruising, no problem stock a.m. radio is loud and clear. No silly aftermarket CD players in this vintage holler. No mismatched exterior mirrors no hodgepodge brush cards and no over accessorized jc Whitney parts, Just 100% clean and stock Henry Ford!  As mentioned earlier I have owner maintain records of the mileage on this truck as he kept handwritten notes of his trips, on what I presume we're fishing hunting expeditions. One of the receipts for a new muffler was from 1988. The mileage documented at that time was 55K that means this truck has been driven less than 7K Miles in 24 years! The muffler still looks new to this day. Since taking ownership of this truck and because it was sitting for quite a while I have done the following: Replaced both fuel tanks and fuel lines. All new tune up parts radiator hoses water pump, New AC compressor and lines. ASE certified tech, so rest assured items were attended to properly. I had the windows tinted with a 3M Crystalline tint that does not darken but reflects all UV and 70% of heat.  $492.oo for that! The truck is equipped with factory dual tanks power steering power disc brakes push button a.m. radio. Owner installed trailer hitch. All lights and guages work properly. As I mentioned the truck is cancer free. It has a few minor scratches here and there but overall This truck is a 9 on a 10 scale. Thank you for looking.

1979 Dodge Li'l Red Express in Generation Gap showdown with 1933 Ford Pickup

Fri, 18 Jul 2014

Auto enthusiasts love a good debate, whether it's Mustang versus Camaro or Ferrari against Lamborghini. But how about a battle between two very different vintages of classic pickup trucks? In this case, the fight is between a 1979 Dodge Li'l Red Express and a 1933 Ford Model 46 truck with a flathead V8.
The shootout comes courtesy of the internet series Generation Gap, and its concept is super-simple. One guy prefers classics, and the other likes newer rides. They choose a category, pick two vehicles and put them head to head. In this case, neither is exactly modern, though. The Ford is more than old enough to receive Social Security checks, and the Dodge is hardly a young whippersnapper.
Other than both being pickups, these two models were made to serve very different functions. The Li'l Red Express was basically the progenitor of today's muscle trucks, with a big V8 that made it one of the quickest new models in its day (admittedly, 1979 was a rough time for automotive performance). On the other hand, the '33 Ford was just meant to work, with little pretense for anything else. One of the hosts describes it as "the simplest, most difficult" vehicle he's driven because of the tricky double clutchwork necessary to shift gears. Scroll down to watch the video and try to decide which of these two American classics you would rather have in your garage.

Ford Fiesta ST orders off to strong start

Fri, 17 May 2013

We at Autoblog love the new little Ford Fiesta ST, and apparently, folks in Europe are pretty impressed with it, as well. According to Ford, the automaker's European arm has already logged 3,000 orders for the new hot hatch since it hit dealerships this March. The US-spec car, which will only be available as a five-door, will go on sale in the United States this summer.
What's perhaps most interesting about the Fiesta ST ordering is that the majority of customers appear to be ordering high-spec cars. According to Ford data, 60 percent of customers have opted for the leather interior with Recaro buckets, and 90 percent have selected the upgraded 17-inch wheels (seen on our test car, above). Spirit Blue has been the most popular color, commanding 27 percent of all orders. As for the technology upgrades, 19 percent of customers have ponied up for the Sony stereo with navigation.
To recap, the Fiesta ST is offered with Ford's 1.6-liter EcoBoost four-cylinder engine, putting out 179 horsepower and 177 pound-feet of torque, mated exclusively to a six-speed manual transmission. We had an absolute blast flinging the hot Fiesta through the French Alps, and we can't wait for this sharp little hatch to make its way over to the States.

How Ford hid the 2015 Mustang from spy photographers

Fri, 20 Dec 2013

Now that we've finally seen the 2015 Ford Mustang, it's fun to go back and look at the spy shots we spent months pouring over, trying to dissect what was under all the camouflage. For the most part, Ford did a good job of concealing the car from spy photographers, and it released a video showing how much work went into doing so.
As crude as the Mustang's camo looked, all of the hard plastic, foam, vinyl and ratchet straps were actually created and put in place by a specific design team. The whole idea was to hide the car's identity, but it certainly ended up acting as a magnet for attention, too. According to Ford's press release, it took less than an hour for spy shots to appear online after the car was taken on public roads for the very first time - this is likely in reference to our first official spy shots of the Mustang from June, shown in the gallery below.
Scroll down for a press release and video, which shows footage of the 2015 Ford Mustang testing with minimal camouflage. This is probably the same track session where we got our first look at the Mustang's face back in August.
