Up for auction is our extremely rare 1988 SALEEN Ranger.  This is number 21 of 29 made of which two of those were not sold and used for racing by SALEEN.  Its anyone's guess as to how many are left, but I would guess very few.  This Survivor has only 14,100 original documented miles.  Sold new here in Colorado, at Courtesy Ford to a friend of ours.  He owned it until 1996 then sold it to a local car collector. It was stored in a climate controlled building until I  purchased it.  I am the third owner and the title still reads 14,100 actual miles!!   It has never been a daily driver and always garaged. 

The only flaws are as follows; the right rear valance has been repaired (looks fine though), fuel gauge does not work, and the A/C blows cool (not cold).

Everything else on the truck is nearly perfect for a 25 year old truck.  It drives very tight, smooth and has great power.  The engine runs perfect.  The clutch is smooth and grabs well and the transmission shifts very smooth.  It truly drives like a new 1988 Ranger.  With the SALEEN installed Racecraft suspension it handles very well and has a solid ride.  Its a very original truck, including its original Konig wheels with their original General 2000 sport tires.

The paint is all very nice and shows well.  The inside of the bed has a liner, but the bed floor is perfect and unused.  All glass is nice.  The interior is all original SALEEN that looks new.  It retains it's SALEEN installed number plate on the dash and inner fender well.  Also has the door decal.  The original owner removed the blue SALEEN side stripes for personnel appearance.  I have looked into reproducing them, and its something that can be done.

The engine compartment looks new as well as the undercarriage.  Original, unused spare tire.  This truck is perfect as a museum piece or a great addition to any collection, especially if you collect SALEENS!!  I have a current Colorado title in my name that is ready to reassign.  If you have questions please call 303 475-4544 for more information.   Thanks for viewing my SALEEN.

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.

Project Ugly Horse: Part VIII

Fri, 17 May 2013

Now With More EcoBoost
There's an EcoBoost 2.0-liter turbocharged four-cylinder in there somewhere, and it's headed straight for Ugly Horse.
For the second time in my life, I'm staring at an engine in the back of a truck with no concept of how to get it safely into the garage by my lonesome. The first time this happened, I dragged home a $300 International 345 V8 in the back of my Scout Terra only to discover that the bounds of my manliness terminated well before my ability to muscle that 800-pound cast iron block out of the pickup bed.

Ford bumped by Amazon in best-perceived brand list

Mon, 20 Jan 2014

Back in July, a mid-year study from YouGov found Ford to have higher brand perception than any other company in the US. While Ford failed to top the year-end study, it still has plenty to brag about. The final BrandIndex report shows that online retail giant Amazon edged out Ford for the top ranking, while Subway, the History Channel and Lowe's rounded out the top five spots.
For Ford, it's still an improvement from sixth place in the 2012 study, and, more importantly, it dominated other automakers in terms of brand perception with a clear advantage over Toyota, Honda, Chevy and Volkswagen. To determine how well - or not so well - a brand is perceived, YouGov uses a Buzz score that asks respondents whether they've "heard anything about the brand in the last two weeks, through advertising, news or word of mouth" and whether it was positive or negative. While it isn't clear how many respondents were included, YouGov does point out that Ford had a strong presence in social media, advertising and newsworthy toward the end of the year.
For more details about the study and the top companies, check out the press release posted below.
