Canton, Georgia, United States
Up for your consideration is a really nice solid garage kept 1970 F100 ranger xlt short bed pickup. This truck was recently purchased from the previous owner who had owned the truck since the mid 90's.The truck is said to have 124,xxx miles. He drove the truck for many years as an original type vehicle. Then a few years back he decided to turn it into what it is now!! Currently sporting under the hood is a true bored .30 over 390 with a built c6 transmission. Previous owner sank more than 5,500 in the engine and transmission alone and only has about 6,000 miles on the new build. Here is a short list of whats been done under the hood. Has a 30 over FE 390, built C-6 automatic w/shift kit. Only parts reused were block, crank and connecting rods. Rebuilt D-2 heads. All parts were cleaned, Machined and checked by machine shop. Purchased new for motor was edelbrock carb, edelbrock intake, RV Cam/Lifter set Idle-5500, timing set, edelbrock water pump.Complete electronic ignition system from mallory unilite distributor and coil. Crane Custom 3/8 adjustable push rods with extra rods. Crane aluminum roller rocker set. High pressure oil pump, forged pistons, hooker headers, 3" Stainless exhaust, Flow masters turned down at back axle. Ford racing valve covers and air cleaners. Have receipts of all parts and machine work. The engine and transmission run out perfectly. Sounds awesome, and of course pretty quick!! Has late model disc brake conversion with brand new master cylinder/booster and front pads. Newer battery, Power steering , Power brakes, late model ford wheels etc.. The body of the truck is in really good shape. There is only one very small rust hole on the exterior of the body located on the lower drivers door section. The rest of the body is really nice with just small amounts of surface rust (nothing major). Perfect rust free floor pans, cab mounts, frame etc... The inside of the bed is really nice with a straight bed floor and nice wheel tubs. There are a couple small pin holes in the bed floor closest to cab , probably not even noticeable in the picture. The interior is also in really good condition with a brand new year specific Ranger xlt bench seat. Nice carpet and dash assembly. If you desire some tunes your going to need to purchase a radio. The original radio bezel is still in the dash. All the gauges,headlights,brake lights, flashers,cargo light, wipers,interior light, etc.. work perfectly as they should. All the glass is in good original condition. Also the lucky winner will be landing a factory installed under dash ac kit. Comes with the ac controls and a few under hood lines to attach to the compressor. This is a direct bolt on factory installed ac kit for this truck. This truck is an awesome fun to drive daily driver only needing minor cosmetics if you wish to bring it to the next level. Draws a lot of attention everywhere you go and mechanically its rite !

Is it time for American carmakers to give up on dual-clutch transmissions? [w/poll]
Mon, 22 Jul 2013Last week, in the midst of Detroit's first days seeking relief in Chapter 9 of the bankruptcy code, Automotive News contributor Larry P. Vellequette penned an editorial suggesting that American car companies raise the white flag on dual clutch transmissions and give up on trying to persuade Americans to buy cars fitted with them. Why? Because, Vellequette says, like CVT transmissions, they "just don't sound right or feel right to American drivers." (Note: In the article, it's not clear if Vellequette is arguing against wet-clutch and dry-clutch DCTs or just dry-clutch DCTs, which is what Ford and Chrysler use.) The article goes on to state that Ford and Chrysler have experimented with DCTs and that both consumers and the automotive press haven't exactly given them glowing reviews, despite their quicker shifts and increased fuel efficiency potential compared to torque-converter automatic transmissions.
Autoblog staffers who weighed in on the relevance of DCTs in American cars generally disagreed with the blanket nature of Vellequette's statement that they don't sound or feel right, but admit that their lack of refinement compared to traditional automatics can be an issue for consumers. That's particularly true in workaday cars like the Ford Focus and Dodge Dart, both of which have come in for criticism in reviews and owner surveys. From where we sit, the higher-performance orientation of such transmissions doesn't always meld as well with the marching orders of everyday commuters (particularly if drivers haven't been educated as to the transmission's benefits and tradeoffs), and in models not fitted with paddle shifters, it's particularly hard for drivers to use a DCT to its best advantage.
Finally, we also note that DCT tuning is very much an evolving science. For instance, Autoblog editors who objected to dual-clutch tuning in the Dart have more recently found the technology agreeable in the Fiat 500L. Practice makes perfect - or at least more acceptable.
2018 Ford Expedition spied looking stylish
Tue, Sep 6 2016The Ford Expedition and Lincoln Navigator got a cool reception for their 2015 warmed-over redesign. But with big, high-riding vehicles once again in vogue, Ford is pushing ahead with a ground-up redesign of its biggest SUVs. Based on these spy shots, the Expedition will continue to serve as the Navigator's more affordable twin. Yes, that's a bold prediction, considering we still haven't spotted Lincoln testing the new Navigator, but study the greenhouses on this Expedition prototype and the Navigator Concept from New York – from the arrow-straight belt line to the extra-long rear window to the aggressively raked windshield, this Expedition's overall profile is broadly similar to what Lincoln previewed earlier this year. While our spies claim the new Expedition will look to the F-150 for design inspiration, we see a departure from past Expedition tradition. Unlike the supposed Expedition spy shots we showed you nearly a year ago – which was nothing more than an SUV with an F-150's nose grafted on, this prototype's front-end styling looks softer and more aerodynamic, with a smaller grille and headlights, almost like an Escape or Edge. This kind of change would explain the additional front-end camouflage. In back, our spies rightly point out that Ford fitted a faux rear end to disguise the rear window's rake – expect the real thing to feature the angled rear window previewed on the Navigator Concept. Look at the last image in the gallery for a better idea of how the Expedition's rear window will actually look. We can't say a lot about the taillights, because of the camo, but non-LED taillights are present. We'd expect Ford to offer LEDs on higher trim levels. While the F-150's styling might not make the transition to the Expedition, its powertrains and emphasis on lightweight aluminum will. Our spies report the biggest SUV will ride on a new T3 platform and feature an aluminum body, with the F-150's 3.5-liter EcoBoost V6. Expect a ten-speed automatic transmission and start/stop tech for sure, while the smaller 2.7-liter, twin-turbo V6 could slot in as the Expedition's base engine – we're less sure on that one. And we're even more uncertain of the rumors of an Expedition Hybrid. Our spies report it could mate a 3.5-liter V6 with an electric motor(s) and battery packs for a more economical full-size SUV. Expect to see the 2018 Expedition debut in January, at the 2017 Detroit Auto Show.
Ford could post best-ever profits in Q1 2013
Tue, 23 Apr 2013Analysts are saying that Ford Motor Company may have earned a record $2.7 billion pretax profit in North America during the first quarter of 2013, a number that represents its highest first quarter profit ever. The impressive earnings are further proof that the American automaker is making a solid comeback as the economy begins to recover.
Morgan Stanley and JP Morgan Chase are estimating that Ford's first quarter North American profit may have topped 12 percent. The firm cited the automaker's fresh lineup, but noted that CEO Alan Mulally needs to uphold the pace as the company works to gain ground in the car and utility segments.
Ford's success has been led by increased demand for its F-Series pickup, the best-selling vehicle in the US for 31 years, and by the Fusion sedan that recently recorded its best-ever quarterly sales in the domestic market. Ford is expected to release its first-quarter revenue on Wednesday, of this week.
