1967 F-100 Red Ranger Short Bed Rust Free 1 Owner 87k Original Miles Low Reserve on 2040-cars
Canton, Georgia, United States
|
Up for your consideration is a really nice original one owner 1967 F-100 short bed ranger. I purchased this one directly from the original owner two months ago. The truck was purchased brand new on March 18 1967 for the amount of 2,437 dollars at Stovall Motor Company that was in Cornelia Georgia. The truck has never been outside the state of Georgia. The owner drove the truck short distances to and from work while working at Lockheed in Marietta Georgia. The truck has 87,xxx original documented miles. The owner bought the truck and never altered anything except for adding 67' galaxie wheel covers, and adding the hood lip molding that comes on the 70-72 f-100. Both items were purchased directly from ford. Under the hood is the original 352 big block mated with a smooth shifting manual 3 speed column shift transmission. Dual exhaust ran all the way to the back of the truck. The original windshield washer bag is still present. The brakes were completely gone through in late 2010 for the amount of 680.00. Truck had very little miles driven after so the brakes are still great. I had a complete tune up done to the truck when I purchased it including new carburetor,coil, plugs, wires, cap, rotor button , oil change , filter, electronic distributor conversion, battery, etc.. The engine was mildly detailed at this time as well. Truck starts every time and runs out great with no major leaks. All the gauges are crystal clear and work as they should. Brake lights , headlights, backup lights, horn all work. The turn signals are currently not working. I was told all it needed is a flasher relay? Wipers are fully functional, as is the heater as well. The interior is in decent shape. The dash does have some cracking. The very top of the seat has some damage from the sun. The carpet and the rest of the seat looks really good considering the age of the truck. All the glass is fully functional with no cracks or defects except for some small amounts of fogging in the corners of the windshield. The body of the truck has to be one of the nicest unrestored well kept I have seen yet ! There are no rust holes on the outside body anywhere. No through rust in the bed floor itself. No rust in cab mounts , core support , not even the battery tray! The ONLY noticeable rust I could find was is in the tailgate. All this can be seen in the pictures below. The original owner stated that as far as he could remember the paint was original. He always stored the truck in a garage or under a carport for protection against the elements. You can see from the pictures it shows well for a driver when kept clean. The only dent I found was in the middle of the hood. The grill is in really nice condition, as is all the chrome as well. Not seen in the pictures but will be sold with a good full size spare tire with the original spare frame hold down. Its ready for the next person to fine tune it to your liking and drive!! Have Fun and Good luck.
I have tried to be as descriptive as possible on this truck .It is used and will be sold AS IS... please if you have questions ask before bidding and only bid if you plan to buy. Truck will be sold with almost all the original tag receipts for most all years, original 1967 licence plate and registration, original owner card, maintenance report/records, 6,000 mile maintenance report, original ford operators manual /cover, original carburetor and engine tag. And of course whatever else I have to go with it . TRUCK WILL BE SOLD WITH A CURRENT GEORGIA STATE BILL OF SALE AND CURRENT SIGNED REGISTRATION. GEORGIA IS NOT A TITLE STATE FOR CLASSICS OF THIS AGE. WITH ALL THE DOCUMENTS ABOVE YOU SHOULD BE ABLE TO OBTAIN A TITLE IN YOUR STATE IF YOUR STATE REQUIRES A TITLE. Whoever buys will be the 2nd registered owner of this truck. Bid to win !! On Jan-05-14 at 19:56:30 PST, seller added the following information: I have the truck for sale locally and have the rite to end auction early if sold locally.

Automakers tussle over owners of 'orphan' makes
Thu, 10 May 2012When General Motors put down several of its brands in recent years, it also let loose thousands of brand-loyal customers who will eventually need another car.
R.L. Polk Associates estimates there are more than 18 million cars from 16 discontinued makes on the road today. Those "orphan owners" have sales-hungry competitors seeing dollar signs. GM is offering Saturn owners $1,000 cash toward a Chevy Cruze, Cadillac CTS or a GMC Acadia. Ford is giving its Mercury lease customers a chance to get out of their contracts with no early-termination penalty and offering to waive six remaining payments if they drive off in a Ford or Lincoln.
Edmunds.com research shows the efforts are paying off somewhat for GM, with 39 percent of Pontiac owners, 37 percent of Hummer owners and 31 percent of Saturn owners taking delivery of another GM-branded vehicle. But that leaves as much as 69 percent of owners going elsewhere. Ford, Honda and Toyota seem to be attracting many former GM owners.
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.
2015 Ford Mustang to offer solid-rear axle, sort of
Tue, 17 Dec 2013One of the biggest knocks against the last Ford Mustang was its solid-rear axle. Not one to actively court criticism, Ford dutifully swapped out the old-fashioned rear end for something a bit more modern in the redesigned 2015 Mustang, adding an independent rear suspension across the board.
While an IRS Mustang is great news for those that value handling and ride comfort, there's one big group that it's bad news for - drag racers. See, a solid-rear axle is a big deal for drag racers, because not only is it more durable and cheaper, but it's better for the hard launches that can make or break a race.
To satiate this vocal demographic, Ford will sell a body-in-white version of the Stang, complete with a nine-inch rear axle, that will debut at the 2014 Performance Racing Industry show. The news came from gas2.org, which cited an unnamed employee of Ford Racing at this year's PRI show.
