This auction is for a 2001 Ford Ranger 4X4. I am selling this as a project because the frame needs repaired. If you are not comfortable with fixing or having something like this fixed please don't bid. The reason I got a hold of this truck is that I do body work for a small dealer in my shop. I've done work for him for years and consider him a friend and a very honest business man. He bought this truck through an auction in January and sold it on his lot. His customer drove it up until a few days ago when his mechanic noticed the frame had a crack in it. He immediately bought the truck back and called me to come give him some advice on what to do with it. What I found was that someone put body filler over a bad spot and doctored it up to run through the sale. After six months plus of having body filler holding water against the frame now it has a much bigger problem than a crack. The auction wont do anything for him because its been so long since he bought it. He wanted nothing to do with the truck and gave me a price I couldn't refuse. So I bought it.

Overall this is too nice of a truck to just scrap because it has a frame issue. It runs great. The four wheel drive works and the air is ice cold. It has great tires and the miles are fantastic for this year of a truck. It does have some blisters showing on the bottoms of the doors and tailgate lip that is very common for a Ranger, but overall it is a sharp truck. Someone just made a small problem worse by trying to hide something instead of fixing it. They make a repair section for these and you can actually buy them on Ebay for $60. I also found a complete frame for $500 at Lapoints in Holland Ohio. If I were fixing it for myself I would just plate the frame. I don't have any intentions of fixing this truck and strictly bought it with intentions of passing it on to someone else to use and save a ton of money on a nice four wheel drive truck with low miles. I knocked every bit of the filler out of the hole so you can see exactly what the problem area looks like in the pictures.

Again if you are not a welder or someone who is comfortable changing a frame don't buy this truck. Its a project vehicle. I'm offering this truck at no reserve, so if you are not a serious bidder please don't bid. If you want to come and inspect the truck before bidding or have any other questions you can email through Ebay or call me @ (330) 432-3798. I have a clean and clear Ohio title in hand and ready to transfer at the time of payment.

Ford Q3 pretax profits drop to $1.18B

Fri, 24 Oct 2014

Following positive third quarter financial results recently from General Motors, rival Ford took a tumble in Q3. The automaker posted pre-tax profits of $1.18 billion, compared to about $2.59 billion in Q3 2013, a drop of around 54 percent. Net income also suffered with $835 million made in the quarter, versus $1.272 billion last year, a decline of about 34 percent. The Blue Oval blamed the gloomy figures on three reasons in its release: "lower volume, higher warranty costs and adverse balance sheet exchange effects."
There were problems of one kind or another in practically every region. North America experienced higher warranty costs than expected, partially due to recalls. The sales volume for the quarter was 665,000 units, versus 725,000 in Q3 2013, and pre-tax results amounted to $1.41 billion versus $2.296 billion last year.
South America and Europe both posted worse pre-tax results than last year. On the bright side, European volume was up slightly to 321,000 vehicles, from 303,000 in Q3 2013. The Middle East and Africa also lost $15 million, but that was an improvement compared to the $25 million loss previously experienced in this region.

More evidence GT500-replacement will be named GT350

Tue, 17 Dec 2013

During the recent unveiling of the 2015 Ford Mustang, we saw the car in both V6 and GT form, but we'll have to wait a little bit longer to see the successor to the Shelby GT500. In the meantime, though, it looks like SVTPerformance.com has confirmed reports that this high-performance model will bring the Shelby GT350 name back to Ford.
According to the forum post, a user found the Shelby GT350 name on a Ford promo website listing its 2015 lineup. The Shelby GT350 name was first used on a Mustang back in 1965, and most recently it has been a model created for customers as a post-title purchase by Shelby American. As for that car, Shelby confirmed earlier in the year that its GT350 would be phased out at the end of this month.
The million-dollar question for Mustang and Shelby enthusiasts is when we'll see next factory Shelby GT350. Last we heard it was planned for a debut at the New York Auto Show. We've included our previous spy shots of this hi-po, sixth-gen Mustang, and we've also captured it on spy video showing off its exhaust note.

Daimler consulting with Ford about 3-cylinder engines

Mon, 27 May 2013

Soon enough, Ford will offer its 1.0-liter EcoBoost three-cylinder engine under the hood of the Fiesta here in the United States, building on the success of the small powerplant overseas. In fact, this success has caused other automakers to take notice, and according to Automotive News Europe, Daimler is now talking to Ford about this engine for use in its own products.
In other markets, Ford offers the 1.0-liter mill under the hood of the Focus (we had the chance to sample this package on our home turf), as well as the B-Max MPV. For this new collaboration, Daimler would use the turbo-three in the next-generation Smart ForTwo, as well as the Renault Twingo, which the German automaker will be collaborating on as part of its alliance with Renault-Nissan. Speaking to AN, a Mercedes-Benz engineer called the 1.0-liter mill an "interesting and impressive engine."
In exchange for details about the EcoBoost inline-three, Daimler will supply Ford with information regarding its Euro6 stratified lean-burn gasoline engine, which is found in the new E-Class sedan.
