1978 Ford Bronco Ranger Xlt Full Size 4x4 on 2040-cars
Charlottesville, Virginia, United States
Up for sale is my beautiful 1978 Ford Bronco Ranger XLT. She's my daily driver and has served me well but its time to pass her on to a new owner. No Rust, never cut and garage kept up until this winter. Not abused, adult owned and maintained. I am the 3rd owner. She's lived her whole life in Central VA where she currently resides. I also painted the front and rear bumpers, the grille and the headlight trim with easily removed PlastiDip. They have perfect chrome underneath. I just like the cut of her jib with the black accents. THE GOOD: Newer BFG All Terrains 33X12.50X15 on Aluminum Outlaw Style wheels New Starter New Power Steering Pump New Master Cylinder New Power Brake Pump New Front Driver Side Caliper New New Front Rotors New Brake Pads front and rear New Warn Manual Hubs New Sony Head CD Unit with Bluetooth & Remote Control New Front Sway Bar Links New Stabilizer Bushings New Plugs & Fresh Oil Change Full Tank of Gas Spare inside the truck makes for a sweet exterior profile and no rust on the tailgate. THE BAD: Gas gauge recently (literally, this last fill up) not registering fuel(I think the float got hung up) Front Carpet has some glue residue from the velcro I used to secure the mats. Could use new weather stripping around front windows. THE UGLY:
She's not perfect with a few tiny paint chips here and there. |

2023 Grand National Roadster Show Mega Photo Gallery | Hot rod heaven
Wed, Feb 8 2023POMONA, Calif. — From an outsider's perspective, it would be easy to assume that the Grand National Roadster Show has always been a Southern California institution. After all, it celebrates the diverse postwar car culture of the region — hot rods, lead sleds, lowriders, and more. However, the show had its roots in NorCal in 1950 when Al Slonaker and his hot rod club showed their custom cars at the Oakland Expo. The GNRS moved to Pomona, California, in 2004. By then it had grown exponentially and seen about a dozen more car customization trends come and go. However, the show and its centerpiece award, the America's Most Beautiful Roadster prize, celebrate what is perhaps the first of those trends: the American hot rod in its purest form. Today, in its 73rd year, the GNRS is the oldest indoor car show in America. Annually it welcomes 500-800 cars, gathered into special themes like Tri-Five Chevys or Volkswagen Bugs. At this year's show, which was last weekend, a special hall was dedicated to pickup trucks built between 1948-98, including mini-trucks, groovy camper bed conversions, and resto-mods. However, of all the vehicles presented, only nine are eligible for the America's Most Beautiful Roadster award. Winners get their names engraved on a 9-foot-tall perpetual trophy that was, according to The Ultimate Hot Rod Dictionary, the largest in the world when it debuted in 1950. Slonaker chose the word "roadster" initially because "hot rod" bore slightly negative outlaw connotations in 1950. Only American cars built before 1937 of certain body styles — roadsters, roadster pickups, phaetons, touring cars — are eligible, and they cannot have roll-down side windows. Cars in the running for the cup cannot have been shown anywhere else before their debut at the GNRS. Contestants for this accolade essentially build their cars to the a platonic ideal of a hot rod. This year the honors went to Jack Chisenhall of San Antonio, Texas, for his "Champ Deuce," a 1932 Ford Roadster. It's exactly what you picture when you think of a hot rod, but distilled to its absolute essence. Other standouts included "Green Eyes," a two-tone green 1959 Chevy El Camino with a heavily metal-flaked bed, "Blue Monday," a 1964 Buick Riviera lowrider, and a personal favorite, "Purple Reign," a purple and black 1951 Mercury. Cars may have started out as tools, but there aren't shows like this filled with custom refrigerators.
Ford moving medium-duty F-Series production from Mexico to Ohio
Thu, 27 Feb 2014
A few more Ford trucks will be built in the US in the near future with news that production of the F-650 and F-750 medium-duty trucks will move from Mexico to Ford's Ohio Assembly Plant in Avon Lake, OH. Ford hasn't confirmed a precise timeline for the move, but The Detroit News claims the Blue Oval will make the shift later this year or in early 2015.
As Ford spokesperson Mike Levine reminded us, back in 2011, Ford announced in an investor release that it would shift production "after the [Ohio] plant stops current production of the Ford E-Series vans." According to that release, the Ohio factory will also receive $128 million in upgrades to build the new trucks, plus the F53 motorhome chassis and F59 commercial chassis.
