A beautiful 1989 Ford Ranger XLT 4X4. Air Condition, Automatic with overdrive, 2.9 EFI engine, Pioneer receiver with CD, Carver amp, Morrel speakers with separate tweeters. Most of these little Rangers, especially the 4X4s, were ridden hard and put away wet. So it is near impossible to find one in good condition. This is one that has been exceptionally well cared for . It has spent its entire life in the Ft. Myers area being purchased new by a local fireman in Pt. Charolette. In 1992, with 34,000 miles on it, it was purchased by a good friend of mine, John, and after 20 years of owing it and 20 years of being married he decided to restore it so he and his wife could enjoy it another 20 years.. Now John is one of those guys that everything has to clean and neat. He owns an air conditioning business, and when you open his van, everything is in place, nice, neat, clean. You can see this kind of mentality in the restoration of the Ranger. Its like who does that to an 89 Ranger??? Just one example, instead of the ugly original fiber hood liner, John found one that is the same as used as firewall liner on aircraft,??? who does that??? You can see how nice it looks in engine bay pic. He pulled the engine out and sent it to Hoods Machine Shop, to have it completely machined and re built. The transmission was rebuilt at Kustom Transmission. New ceramic coated exhaust installed by Midas Muffler. The seat was sent to Wade Cuff where it was covered completely in Leather. The interior also has new carpet, headliner, and dash cover. The door panels are original as well all dash components, and as you can tell are like new, including the gauges, bezel, and the woodgrain trim. The truck was then given a beautiful paint using Dupont Chromabase Ford Blue Flame Effect and Ford and Ford Silver Ingot Effect, if you look at the close up pics. you can see the beauty and quality of the paint. The bumpers are original and look great , the wheels are also original and were cleaned and detailed, the tires are-- Michelin LTX--, you can see he spared no expense. The front grill is new as are the lights, the original tailgate panel was powder coated as it had become dull. Well now John had a beautiful like new Ranger again. Along with some of the receipts we have, we estimate he spent well over $11,000. on the restoration. Only problem he was transferred to New York and was not able to bring the truck with him so he sold it. I now have the truck, and recently took it on a round trip from Ft Myers to West Palm Beach. Every thing works and runs great, the engine runs perfectly with plenty of power, the truck rides and handles perfectly, A.C ran cold, the pioneer stereo sound great. The wipers and new seals worked perfectly as it poured down rain on the way back. Four wheel drive engages, automatically, and works as it should. The only thing I know of not working at this time is water temp guage, and I will fix this, as it probably is the sending unit. The entire restoration was completed late last year and has been driven less than 500 miles. Truck is sold as-is. You can call me at 239-340-0443. We have set a very conservative reserve, so don't miss the opportunity to own this beautiful truck!!.

Reflecting on the Ford GT on its 10-year anniversary

Thu, 10 Apr 2014

Ten years ago, during the bright-eyed enthusiasm of the early 2000s and before the collective automotive industry did its best Titanic impression, we had the Ford GT. An everyman's supercar like there'd never been (remember, this was before 638-horsepower Corvettes were a thing), the GT arrived with a supercharged, 5.4-liter V8 that produced 550 horsepower and graced this retro-styled rocket with an easy, sub-four-second sprint to 60 miles per hour.
Equal to the GT's performance were its looks. Inspired by the GT40 racers that dominated Le Mans and bested Ferrari in the 1960s, the sleek, low, almost-reptilian look of the GT was the absolute pinnacle of the retro styling that so defined the early 2000s.
Crank and Piston put together a video celebrating the ten-year-old GT, arguing that Ford is a bit too busy with the next-gen Mustang, which turns 50 next week, to do it themselves. In the short clip, there is gratuitous engine noise and supercharger whine, not to mention scenes of the white-on-red GT prowling the deserts and streets of Dubai. It's a bit short, but very nicely shot. Scroll down, have a look and be sure to turn up those speakers before getting started.

Xcar flogs the 2015 Ford Focus ST

Wed, Feb 18 2015

There's an inevitable dilemma that practically every auto fan eventually faces, at least other than Jay Leno and Jerry Seinfeld, and that's the tradeoff of performance, practicality and perhaps most importantly, money. Parking the fabled supercar in the garage might be the wish, but for most folks bigger responsibilities – like a family Â– just don't allow that dream to be a reality. In the view of XCar Films, this intersection of needs and wants is where vehicles like the latest Ford Focus ST provide a fantastic compromise between exciting driving and everyday practicality. Xcar hops into Ford's recently refreshed European hot hatch to illustrate its abilities as both a hauler for the small family on the move and for the driver who just wants to go. The Blue Oval left the powertrain alone for the ST's update, but sharpened the exterior styling, revised the interior and retuned the front suspension and steering. Being realistic, no one is ever going to get behind the wheel of the Focus ST and mistake it for a Porsche, but that's not really the point. Instead, buyers get to put a smile on their face from time to time and still maintain life's other responsibilities.

Ford Escort returns, just not for US

Sat, 19 Apr 2014

Ford is set to give the burgeoning Chinese market its very own C-segment model, while also reviving one of the brand's more notable nameplates. The new Escort, which will make its world debut at the 2014 Beijing Motor Show will be built in the People's Republic at the Changan Ford joint venture facility.
The Escort's exterior is best thought of as a mix of the finer points from the US market Focus and Fusion, with the Aston Martin-ish grille and narrow, wraparound taillights presenting a clean look at either end of the car. It's all fairly true to the concept car from last year's Shanghai Motor Show. That said, this exterior job is almost too clean. There doesn't seem to be a lot of character or substance beyond the typical Ford looks.
There's a similar issue in the cabin - it all looks pretty nice, but the design is rather plain, particularly when viewed alongside the display-filled cabin of a US-spec car. Still, there looks to be a fair amount of space in both the front and back seats, and the trunk isn't exactly tiny, either.
