1976 Ford Ranger Xlt Camper Special - 1979 1978 1977 & Wilderness Camper on 2040-cars
|
What you have here for bid is an original unmolested two owner truck with 52K original miles. I purchased this truck in June of 2012 with 49,900 miles from the original owner. He bought the truck new from a dealer in Portland Oregon and drove the truck each summer to camp in Eastern Washington. When not in use I am told truck was always under cover and out of the weather. Truck is not show room condition and is not perfect. Some small dings and scratches here and there and a small dent behind the tool box. I have included a picture of the original build sheet on the truck. The three speed transmission shifts very nice and gearing is appropriate. Truck is very quiet which you would expect from the special factory exhaust. Also has factory camper tie downs and slide out rear bumper that come with the camper special package. Options include Power Steering, Power Brakes and optional delay wipers. Truck comes with the very nice original tailgate. I have included pictures of the interior which is all original and one of the cleanest I have seen. The original carpet is serviceable but will probably need to be changed at some point down the road. Give me a call or send me an email with any questions (360) 643-0400. I have tried to accurately describe this truck as best I can. Please let me know if you want additional pictures of anything in particular. I would encourage any serious bidder to come inspect prior to purchase but am confident you won't be disappointed.
****Also included in this auction is the 1976 Wilderness 10' camper you can see in some of the pictures. The camper was purchased new by the original owner and has always been with the truck. I have had the camper completely and professionally serviced, the roof completely resealed (to my knowledge it has never leaked) and new roof vents as required during the reseal. This is a very nice useable camper. The only drawback is the dated material on the cushions which can easily be changed if desired. Otherwise it works as it should and is equipped with a oven, cook top, sink, heater, refrigerator, and a bathroom. You can e-mail or call me for details. Thank You! |

Ford Mustang GT500 successor spied near SVT
Tue, 17 Sep 2013Details about the next-gen Ford Mustang are scarce, and there's even less information out there about the upcoming replacement for the Shelby GT500. Previously rumored to drop the Shelby name and wear the GT350 moniker, the highest-performance Mustang has just been spotted testing near Ford's SVT operations.
Despite being cloaked in heavy camouflage, we can instantly tell this prototype is different from other Mustang spy shots we've seen in the past. Aside from the Shelby-spec wheels, quad exhaust outlets (previous spy shots show only two) and beefier brakes, this car also has air intakes on the hood and front fenders. These elements help to neither prove nor dismiss rumors that the next SVT Mustang will be naturally aspirated. It also looks like Ford is may be planning some changes to this car's rear suspension, as there is some extra camouflage added beneath the rear end of this prototype.
As a bonus, these spy shots also give us our first look inside the new Mustang, revealing a new steering wheel (with more buttons) and a glimpse of the dual-pod instrument gauges. Check out past spy shots of the 2015 Mustang showing off its new face and driving around town.
Toyota, Ford not interested in FCA merger
Mon, Jun 15 2015Sergio Marchionne will preach the benefits of mergers to anyone who'll listen, but his calls for industry consolidation may be falling on deaf ears. At least, that is, the ears of those who the Fiat Chrysler chief would most like to bend. Not only is General Motors uninterested, but according to The Detroit News, neither are Toyota or Ford. "It's something we would not be interested in," said Toyota's North American chief Jim Lentz, at the groundbreaking ceremony for the new Toyota Technical Center. "At 10 million (vehicles) we have enough scale right now to do what we need to do. There really would be no advantage for us." Toyota isn't the only one unenthused by the prospect of merging with Fiat Chrysler Automobiles. The Detroit News also reports that Ford, though it may yet to have been approached by Marchionne, wouldn't be interested either. "We're not a suitor for FCA," said Ford CFO Bob Shanks. "We don't see that type of opportunity as one that applies to us." With GM, Toyota, and Ford expressing disinterest in Marchionne's merger idea, the FCA chief will likely start looking elsewhere – or look for other ways to compel his primary candidate to reconsider. He may eventually find a partner – more likely in the Far East or within Europe – but it may not take the form of the major player Sergio has hoped for.

2013 Ford Explorer Sport
Thu, 04 Apr 2013When one speaks of sporty and fun-to-drive utility vehicles, few would put the Ford Explorer in the same category as the Jeep Grand Cherokee SRT8, BMW X5 or Porsche Cayenne. Yet, with just a few reservations, I'd toss the new-for-2013 Ford Explorer Sport close to that arena for consideration.
As a recap, the sportiest of Explorers is fitted with Ford's twin-turbocharged 3.5-liter Ecoboost V6, making 365 horsepower and 350 pound feet of torque. Acceleration is brisk (figure about 7 seconds to 60 miles per hour), as power goes to all four wheels through a six-speed automatic transmission. Contributing to its more athletic demeanor are larger front brakes, a sport-tuned suspension, chassis upgrades, quicker steering ratio and a more aggressive wheel/tire package. Cosmetically, the Sport is distinguished by its blacked-out lights, black trim and noticeable lack of chrome (with the exception of the door handles).
Ford recently handed me the keys to a Ruby Red Metallic Explorer Sport. Rather than mindlessly drive the big seven-passenger all-wheel drive hauler in soccer mom circles around Los Angeles, I loaded up my family and embarked on a long weekend road trip to Yosemite National Park.
