One 1976 Ford F – 150 Ranger. Very reasonable reserve on this handsome 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. I have service and maintenance records since 1979. 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. I put the heavy rubber matt in to protect the bed. The truck has always been stored indoors is whole life. The spare tire bolts on the rack on the inside, right of the bed. Which I have. It has absolutely no rust in it anywhere! That's right, none! This isn't a vehicle that looks good in pictures. This truck shows better in person than in the pictures. 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. 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, no pings, rattles, Knoks, squeaks or other Noises. The C-6 transmission shifts crisply on demand. The weatherstripping around the class is soft and pliable. 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. Check out the tailgate nameplate, it looks brand-new! The vinyl bench seat is perfect. The dash pad is flawless and the carpet is in great condition, 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 truck. Just 100% clean and stock All American Ford! As mentioned earlier I have owner maintained records of the mileage on this truck as he kept handwritten notes of his trips. 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 on and off. 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 rubber hoses with up to date coolant. ASE certified tech, so rest assured items were attended to and worked on 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 came equipped with factory dual tanks power steering power disc brakes push button a.m. radio. Owner installed trailer hitch wielded to frame. 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.

Jaguar design boss admits X-Type was a mistake
Thu, 19 Sep 2013History has a way of repeating itself, especially in the auto industry. When Jaguar was owned by Ford, the British brand attempted to field a competitor for the BMW 3 Series, called the X-Type. Based on the bones of a Ford Mondeo, it aped the styling of Jaguar's flagship model, the XJ, while borrowing liberally from the Ford parts bin. That was 2001.
Now, in 2013, Jaguar is planning a new 3 Series challenger based on the platform previewed by the C-X17 Concept, while Ford is attempting to take the latest Mondeo upmarket. The moves have both brands recognizing where, why, and how the X-Type failed. "It didn't look mature or powerful or anything. It was just a car," Jaguar's current head of advanced design, Julian Thomson, told PistonHeads. Basing the X-Type on a front-drive car while giving it styling that was meant for a rear-driver lead to proportions that "were plainly wrong," Thomson told PH. Ford's European head of quality, Gunnar Herrmann, added that the X-Type was "a fake Jaguar, because every piece I touch is Ford."
For what it's worth, the X-Type's successor in the segment will sport rear-drive, with plenty of input from Ian Callum. Thomson described the new model, which would challenge the 3 Series as having, "Big wheels right to the ends of the car, low bonnet, short overhangs, very low cabins." Sounds good to us.
Auto critic calls out Corvette, Mustang and Cherokee faithful
Mon, 26 Aug 2013Most automotive purists fear change, but not without reason. Change, after all, did kill big-block V8s, along with most station wagons and manual transmissions. But change has also brought with it far more performance, safety and fuel economy - not to mention ridding the world of shag carpet interiors, bias-ply tires and those horrible motorized seatbelts of the early '90s.
By this time next year, the Chevy Corvette, Jeep Cherokee and next-generation Ford Mustang will all be on sale and will all, in some way, have angered or offended purists. To those critics, Mark Phelan of the Detroit Free Press is preemptively telling them to stop complaining - at least until they've all been driven. From the Corvette's square taillights and the Cherokee's radical nose to whatever pony car purists will harp on the 2015 Mustang for, Phelan's column points out the positives of automotive evolution and the negatives of staying the course for too long. That's fair enough, but do you think Phelan is on point, or all wet? Head on over to the Detroit Free Press to read his words, then have your say in Comments.
Ford builds two-millionth EcoBoost engine
Tue, 17 Sep 2013Ford's EcoBoost engine lineup is only four years old, but it is growing into an important and popular global engine. As proof of its popularity, Ford just produced its 2 millionth EcoBoost engine - a 2.0-liter inline four-cylinder - which rolled off the assembly line in Louisville, Kentucky under the hood of an Escape.
Ford now offers five EcoBoost engines around the world ranging from the 1.0-liter inline-three to the twin-turbo 3.5-liter V6, and the automaker is expanding production of two of its engine lines to keep up with demand. Earlier this year, Ford announced that the 2.0-liter EcoBoost would be built in Cleveland, Ohio starting in 2014 and, more recently, Ford said that it will be doubling production of the 1.0-liter EcoBoost in Germany. That turbo-three will also be produced in China at a new Ford engine plant in Chongqing.
Scroll down for Ford's full press release on this EcoBoost production milestone, including a breakdown of where all the engines were made.
