LOOK AT MY FEEDBACK AND BID WITH CONFIDENCE!! This is an awesome ranger with a v8 conversion. Picked it up off a guy who really needed to sell it so I'm passing the good deal along. Engine is a mildly built 302, not sure on the cam specs but it doesn't flash too high so it's probably just a nice torque cam (rv cam for us old timers, under .500 lift for you technical types), headers going into stacks, intake, and holley 670 street avenger carb (probably too big for a street 302 in my opinion), new battery, electric holley fuel pump (the red one I believe) and electric fan are on a separate switches on the dash along with a push button start. Tranny was gone through at the time of the engine swap 1-2 years ago, and its got a hurst pro-matic II ratchet shifter (pretty fun once you know how to use it, print out the manual online and it takes a lot of the confusion away). Doesn't have a front drive shaft yet so its a 2wd as it sits. Aftermarket gauges all read properly. No radio installed yet but I have one that will come with it. I have had to wiggle the battery cable once to get power to the starter so a new cable is probably in the future. Paint job is a real camo paint job done in thick primer like the military does, not some shiny sticker. Interior is worn but not all riped up, doors rattle a bit when shut, new rubber will fix that if it bothers you. It needs a passenger window, they are $35 at the junkyard. Fuel cap door has been relocated to the bed. Tires are very good 33" with plenty of room for more, tread is like new, front right has a slow leak when just sitting, haven't sprayed any slime in it but it's very slow about 2 weeks before you'll notice but if driven regularly it would be fine. Haven't noticed any rust issues. Feel free to ask any questions or request specific pics before the auction is over, winning the auction does not mean you've won the right to come see if you like it, please do that before. The reserve on this is very very low, like what the tires and lift would cost, or what the labor on the v8 swap would be, or what the engine and tranny would cost. I haven't personally driven this more than about a mile or two due to it not having tags on it but it's loud, fast and fun and I can't find any mechanical issues. If you are within 250 miles I may be able to have it delivered for $300 more, not a guarantee but I'll talk to you after the auction. |

Ford bondage ads reportedly trigger firings at Indian ad agency
Wed, 27 Mar 2013You will probably remember the ads for the Ford Figo hatchback in India, the ones that showcased the extra large boot of the little hatchback by joking that you can fit three of your enemies in the trunk. One of the ads had Michael Schumacher in the front seat, obviously pleased about having Sebastian Vettel, Lewis Hamilton and Fernando Alonso tied up in the back. But the other two had Paris Hilton and ex-Italian prime minister Silvio Berlusconi up front and three bound and gagged women in the back - in Hilton's case (shown above), it was the Kardashians.
This did not go over well, and Reuters reports that certain employees at JWT India have been fired over the matter. It is also reported that the images weren't actual advertisements, nor were they part of an actual campaign; JWT said they "were never intended for paid publication, were never requested by our Ford client." A JWT rep said the employees who created the ads did so on their own, Ford commented to Automotive News that the ads were "part of a creative exercise intended to test concepts for an advertising competition."
The problem, if the story is to be believed, is that the employees skipped the regular review protocols and uploaded their work to an ad industry site - they were found on Ads of the World. That page, like the employees, has been removed.
Ford owns Automotive Loyalty Awards, Audi and Subaru are king of conquests
Thu, 23 Jan 2014Customers are a commodity in the automotive industry, and like any other commodity, automakers trade them back and forth. Only nobody wants to give up their customers - just to keep the ones they have and try to attract others.
That's what the Polk Automotive Loyalty Awards are all about. Every year the industry research body names the automakers, brands and models that manage to keep their customers coming back for more - and attract buyers to switch from other makes. Ford usually does pretty well, but this year it rose above even its own track record.
Not only did Dearborn win the Overall Loyalty to Manufacturer award, but also the Overall Loyalty to Make. Ford also took the African American category, and the F-150 was named the top full-size half-ton pickup in customer loyalty. Ford COO Mark Fields (pictured above) accepted the awards and gave the keynote address at the awards ceremony.
Child cobalt miners: Automakers pledge ethical minerals sourcing for EVs
Wed, Nov 29 2017BERLIN - Leading carmakers including Volkswagen and Toyota pledged on Wednesday to uphold ethical and socially responsible standards in their purchases of minerals for an expected boom in electric vehicle production. Demand for minerals such as cobalt, graphite and lithium is forecast to soar in the coming years as governments crack down on vehicle pollution and carmakers step up their investments in electric models. To cover its plans for more than 80 new models by 2025, Volkswagen alone is looking for partners in China, Europe and North America to provide battery cells and related technology worth more than 50 billion euros ($59 billion). Talks with major cobalt producers, including Glencore, at VW's Wolfsburg headquarters last week ended without a deal. More than half of the world's cobalt comes from the Democratic Republic of Congo, a country racked by political instability and legal opacity, and where child labor is used in mines. On Wednesday, a group of 10 leading passenger-car and truck manufacturers announced an initiative to jointly identify and address ethical, environmental, human and labor rights issues in raw materials sourcing. The partnership dubbed "Drive Sustainability" consists of VW, Toyota Motor Europe, Ford, Daimler, BMW, Honda, Jaguar Land Rover, Volvo Cars and truckmakers Scania and Volvo. The alliance "will assess the risks posed by the top raw materials (such as mica, cobalt, rubber and leather) in the automotive sector," said Stefan Crets of the CSR Europe business network. "This will allow Drive Sustainability to identify the most impactful activities to pursue" to address issues within the supply chain.Reporting by Andreas Cremer.Related Video: Image Credit: Michael Robinson Chavez/The Washington Post via Getty Images Green BMW Ford Honda Jaguar Land Rover Mercedes-Benz Automakers Toyota Volkswagen Volvo Green Automakers Green Culture Electric Scania ethics mining
