1968 Ford F100 Ranger 1 Owner Survivor on 2040-cars
Fayetteville, Georgia, United States
|
Original unrestored 1968 Ford F100 Ranger in great condition. Truck has 113,000 miles on original 360 2bbl v-8 and automatic transmission.
Engine runs great, and transmission shifts well. Truck has recent tune up including rebuilt carb, points and condenser, plugs and wires. Truck also has new battery and 4 new tires. I recently drove this truck on a 120 mile trip with no problems.
Body is in great shape - body panels are straight and fit well. Doors function wonderfully and shut with a solid 'click'. Bed is solid with some light surface rust. I have owned several of these trucks, and I have never had a bed in such good condition - fender wells are dent free, bed floor is straight with no holes, paint on inside of tailgate isn't even scratched. There is some damage to driver front hood/headlight bezel/fender where owner ran into a column while parking in their garage...what a shame because the rest of the truck is amazingly straight. Replacement parts can easily be found. Rust: the cab support at the rear of the cab has some rust, as does the driver cab corner behind the body trim.
Truck has manual steering and brakes. Steering is tight, and truck cruises straight down the road, even when you take your hand off the wheel.
Interior is complete and in good shape for its age. Seat cover is torn on drivers side, carpet is 45 years old. Visors and Headliner are in good shape. Original Radio still in place. Dash pad has crack in middle. Steering wheel is almost perfect - has 1 small crack at base of the horn ring. Dome light still works when you open the door!
Gas gauge not currently working. Has exhaust leak on passenger side.
I purchased this truck from the widow and son of the original owner with plans to turn it into a resto-mod driver. After getting it home and seeing the condition its in, I just could not bring myself to tear it apart...

NHTSA closes Ford F-Series Super Duty steering probe without recall
Wed, 05 Feb 2014The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration's investigation into 2008 Ford F-250 and F-350 Super Duty pickups, which was originally opened last year, has now ended without a recall. NHTSA was looking into steering failures on some 336,000 trucks.
The issue rested with the steering gear - NHTSA received five complaints of failures - which was redesigned in 2005. According to the report on the matter, investigators "found evidence of broken sector shaft gear teeth and piston damage consistent with incidents of single event overload."
NHTSA investigators, however, "found no evidence of fatigue or material property defects in any of the fractures. Analysis of complaint rates by vehicle build month showed no patterns indicating potential manufacturing quality issues and no difference before and after Ford introduced design changes to the input shaft and sector shaft seals in July 2007 to address potential leak concerns," according to the report, obtained by The Detroit News.
2013 Ford Mustang V6
Mon, 10 Jun 2013Secretary Trim, Evolved
There was a time not so long ago when opting for a base Ford Mustang meant getting little more than some sheetmetal, an anemic four-cylinder engine and what may very well have been the world's most disappointing automatic transmission. During the Fox Body years, Ford seemed hell-bent on living up to Carroll Shelby's derogatory description of the coupe as little more than a runabout for demure office assistants, and the result was a base model with fewer sporting intentions than a Dilbert day calendar.
Some 20 years later, hopping behind the wheel of an entry-level pony is an entirely different experience. With all of the menacing aesthetics of the brawnier GT, a well-equipped interior and a drivetrain that toes the line between efficiency and power better than few before it, the 2013 Ford Mustang V6 is an attractive option for buyers in the big coupe market. But is it attractive enough to forgo the beastly GT?
Ford Recalling 70k Escape and Mariner Hybrids for cooling issue
Fri, 12 Sep 2014Ford is recalling about 70,209 examples of the 2005-2008 Ford Escape Hybrid and the 2006-2008 Mercury Mariner Hybrid because the cooling pumps for their hybrid systems could fail.
According to the company's defect notice, it's possible for the original "Motor Electronics Coolant (MEC) Pump" to wear out and fail, which would could cause the hybrid system to overheat. If this happens, the vehicle goes into a safety mode that takes away most or all of its power. However, braking and steering still operate normally. After cooling down, the affected models restart normally. The company says that it's not aware of any accidents or injuries related to this problem.
Ford will begin repairing the vehicles in late October, and dealers will be installing improved, brushless pumps on the affected models at no charge to owners. If drivers had their pumps fail before this recall, they can contact Ford for a possible reimbursement.
