2001 Ford Ranger Edge extended cab 2WD with EFI small block (SBF) V8 tuned by Aric at Injected Engineering (conservative 246rwhp/303ft-lbs @ 4700 RPM). Scat 331 stroker kit with forged SRP pistons (9.5:1, ready for boost/nitrous), ARP main studs, ARP head studs, Scat forged rods, and Scat cast crank in a 1992 Mustang 302 block. Twisted Wedge Track Heat aluminum heads, Anderson B25 roller cam, 1.6 roller rockers, custom Torque Monster headers, GT40 intake, 24lb injectors, Lightning MAF, custom true dual side-exit exhaust w/ high-flow cats and magnaflow muffler, big 3-core all aluminum radiator, and a 4R70W automatic transmission with modified valve body plate (shifts firm), 8.8 w/ 3.55 gears and freshly rebuilt cobra kevlar posi and SN95 Mustang rear disk brake conversion. New adjustable rear air shocks and heavy-duty rear springs, new factory engine mounts, new alternator; ball joints, tie rods, and front shocks changed just before the engine swap. Clutch fan keeps the truck running cool, even with the AC on max sitting in rush hour traffic at 95+ degrees.


EFI is a reprogrammed 1999 Ford Explorer factory ECU; I took the time to get the passive anti-theft system (PATS) completely operational using parts out of a 98 Explorer and had a key programmed and custom cut to work with the factory locks. All gauges and lights work as they should. 

Good daily driver with functional heat and AC (best "mod" ever for Atlanta in the summer), power steering, cruise control, a factory in-dash 6-disc changer, ABS, power brakes, new front and rear pads with new rear rotors, and plenty of tread on the tires. The engine has about 7000 miles on it but the body/chassis has around 189,XXX miles (driven 40 miles daily, this will go up). The truck passed emissions with the V8 last year and again in May 2013, and is registered with the state as having a V8 in it; it's not showing any codes on a scan tool and DOES NOT have a check engine light on.  The truck has a few miles on it and the body and interior show some age, but it's a really decent rust-free southern truck.

For reference, in good condition KBB values this truck at over $5000 with the original 3.0L V6 and I have A LOT more than $4500 in parts and tuning into this truck along with a few hundred hours of labor. Injected Engineering in Kennesaw dyno-tuned the fuel injection; they're familiar with this truck and can provide future service, programming, etc... Will also come with several factory Electrical Vacuum and Troubleshooting Manuals (EVTM).

Clean and clear GA title in-hand.  Clean CarFax.  Email me if you'd like specific pictures of something.

Oprah at it again, gives car away on Jimmy Kimmel Live!

Sat, 17 Aug 2013

Oprah Winfrey loves giving away cars. Not only has she given Pontiac G6 sedans and Volkswagen Beetle retro-mobiles to everyone in the audience of her past show, but the other night on Jimmy Kimmel Live! she gave another car away to one lucky audience member, while yelling her now-famous line: "You get a car!"
Although the acting of Oprah and Jimmy Kimmel was obviously staged for this giveaway, the reaction from the woman in the audience was genuine shock as she found out that she had just won a new Ford Fusion Energi. Congrats!
Not to take away from what Oprah and Jimmy pulled off, but our cynical sides have to wonder if there isn't more than just a little coincidence that this giveaway took place on the same day that Ford announced a fuel economy reduction for the C-Max hybrid. You be the judge... Scroll down to watch the short clip from the episode.

Shelby Cobra, Mercedes 300SL and 1947 Woodie from Petersen Museum headed to auction

Mon, 29 Jul 2013

The changes happening at the Petersen Museum have been making the rounds in major press, but it probably won't be until August 18, during Pebble Beach, when we get the full story on what's happening; that's where and when museum reps plan on announcing the way forward for the SoCal institution. In the meantime, the museum is still reorganizing its collection, and that means auctioning some of its showpieces at this weekend's Auctions America event in Burbank.
Three of the stars are a 1964 Shelby Cobra 289, one of less than 20 produced with a three-speed C-4 automatic transmission, a 1960 Mercedes-Benz 300SL owned by actor Robert Stack and the last 1948 Ford Sportsman 'Woodie' ever produced. The Cobra, now restored to its original white exterior and red leather interior, was a factory demonstrator that first sold for $5,250. Showing just 38,950 miles on the odometer, its pre-sale estimate is $800,000 to $1 million.
The 300SL is actually a 1957 model but wasn't titled until Robert Stack took possession in 1960. The lead actor in the The Untouchables TV series used to drive by the Sunset Boulevard Mercedes dealership to ogle the car, but couldn't justify spending the money to buy it. When he and the producer of The Untouchables won Emmys for the show, the producer, who happened to be Desi Arnaz, bought the car for Stack. He owned it his whole life, it has been left as Stack drove it and still bears the California license plate "UNTCHBL."

2015 Ford Expedition stays the course, adds EcoBoost power

Tue, 18 Feb 2014

The era of the body-on-frame, fullsize SUV is rapidly vanishing in favor of smaller, unibody crossovers. However, Ford still sees life in the segment with the reveal of the updated 2015 Expedition, now available (solely) with the company's 3.5-liter EcoBoost V6. The new truck will make its public debut at the 2014 DFW Auto Show in Dallas on February 19.
The loss of the previous 5.4-liter V8 in favor of Ford's 3.5-liter, direct-injected, twin-turbocharged V6 engine might rankle some of the Expedition's fans, but Ford claims that the change gives the SUV better fuel economy, more power and increased low-end torque than before. Unfortunately, official engine specifications won't be released until later this year, but Ford says engine output will be similar to the 365 horsepower and 360 pound-feet of torque that this powerplant produces in other applications. The EcoBoost is mated to a six-speed automatic transmission, and the SUV now uses electrically assisted power steering, for an even greater fuel economy advantage. Ford claims this also allows for better maneuverability at low speeds and better feel at high speeds.
Exterior styling is basically unchanged for 2015. The front end has the same three-bar chrome grille and headlight design, but the lower air dam gets added chrome and LED lamps. The rear gets more brightwork on the hatch, and there's a chrome-tipped exhaust pipe. As before, Ford is offering the Expedition in two wheelbase lengths - 119 inches and 131 inches. A new, optional, continuously controlled damping system alters suspension settings constantly based on 46 parameters and offers comfort, normal and sport modes (just like the Expedition's sister, the recently refreshed and decidedly less-attractive Lincoln Navigator).
