I bought two trucks as a package deal and cant keep both. So if your looking for a 68 ranger short bed look no further. Up for your consideration is a extremely nice well kept daily driven 1968 f-100. This truck has been in Georgia for years, from what I was told by the previous owner. It runs and drives great with a recent completely rebuilt stout 390, and manual 3 speed transmission. The truck still retains the factory column shift. The transmission shifts out great with a recent new clutch that has just been installed. Truck starts every time with the added electronic ignition. Engine and transmission runs/shift out great with no problems at all. No major leaks!! The brakes are all in working order as they should be. Truck also rides on a set of late model 15" ford wheels that are in great shape. Dual exhaust with factory exhaust manifolds. The interior is really nice considering the age of the truck. The dash pad has one crack in the middle only. Seat and carpet are all in really nice shape. The carpet is aftermarket and is in good shape but could use some trimming to fit better. Added seat belts along with the new AM/FM/CD player with ipod/aux connect port. All the glass is perfect except for one minor crack on passenger side front windshield. The crack is not bad and is definitely NOT in your line of site while driving. It may be repairable? All the rest of the glass is great with no fogging. Truck has a sliding back glass. All the gauges work perfectly. All the lights, tail lights, turn signals, emergency flashers, wipers, etc.. work perfectly. As far as the body I guarantee you wont be disappointed! All the chrome seems to be present except for the small marker lens on passenger side bed side ( cheap part). And there are only 2 small rust holes on the outside body that I could find to speak of. One small hole on lower driver door. And a very small pin hole on passenger side front fender. The inside of the bed is mint with no rust at all. The bed sides are perfect. Near Perfect floor pans,front body mounts, tailgate, hood, etc.. I have included some pictures down below of all these areas. I just drove this truck 80 miles with absolutely no problems. This truck is good to go mechanically only needing minor cosmetics, or just enjoy it and drive it as is. This is one of the nicest 67-72 ford truck unrestored body's that I have seen in years. So good luck and you don't want to miss this one! Low reserve

MotorWeek relives '80s coupes with Dodge Daytona, Ford Escort EXP
Thu, Aug 6 2015Get ready for a wave of nostalgia and the rapid realization of the huge progress in performance cars over the last 30 years. For its latest Retro Review, MotorWeek takes a look back at two, front-wheel drive coupes from the '80s that seem to have entirely vanished from the roads today. Both the 1986 Dodge Daytona CS and the 1986.5 Ford Escort EXP were considered affordable, sporty options in their day, but the passage of time hasn't been kind to either of their specs. The Daytona certainly looks the part of a performance machine with a body that's reminiscent of other '80s coupes, like the third-gen Chevrolet Camaro. However with 146 horsepower and 170 pound-feet of torque from a 2.2-liter turbocharged four-cylinder, acceleration wasn't exactly a strong suit. MotorWeek complained about copious torque steer, as well. The optional CS suspension upgrade package on this Daytona was apparently a nod to Carroll Shelby who was working with Dodge at the time. If anything, the Escort EXP withstands the test of time even worse. As a two-seat coupe, you might have expected Ford's engineers to really turn up the performance to fit the sporty image that the exterior conveyed. That didn't really happen, and depending on which model buyers ordered, they got either 86 horsepower with a 1.9-liter engine or the "high-output" version of that mill with 108 hp.
Ford tops mid-year ranking of brands in the US
Thu, 18 Jul 2013YouGov's mid-year Brand Index rankings of America's best perceived brands has been released, and Ford has found its way to the top. The Dearborn, Michigan based manufacturer beat out online shopping giant Amazon, The History Channel, and home improvement superstore Lowe's, to take the top spot.
Ford jumped from sixth overall in 2012 to first for 2013, but those that have been watching these rankings shouldn't be hugely surprised. Ford was rated the best perceived automotive manufacturer by the same organization last year. The Blue Oval's success on the overall brand rankings is made all the more impressive by the complete lack of other automakers on the list.
YouGov (that is, survey respondents) cited Ford's first quarter of 2013 business, which saw an increase in market share and the best earnings recorded in over 10 years. Successfully launching the Focus and Fusion (pictured) and keeping them fresh in the minds of consumers has also contributed to Ford's best overall score.
V6 engines will outpace V8s for the 2015 Ford F-150
Wed, 23 Jul 2014How times have changed. Even five years ago, who would have thought the mighty V8 would be just another engine choice for buyers of the 2015 Ford F-150?
Ford is projecting about 28 percent of the next-generation trucks will have the 5.0-liter V8. That's nothing to sneeze at, but consider this: Ford figures its two EcoBoost truck engines - the new 2.7-liter V6 and the existing 3.5-liter V6 - will also each account for about 28 percent of the F-150's sales (56 percent total). That leaves only 15 percent of the pie for the 3.5-liter (non-EcoBoost) V6. The new F-150 goes on sale late this year.
