This item is also for sale locally, so I am reserving the right to cancel auction at anytime.

Perfect for a total restore or drive as is. This is an extremely solid truck inside and out and it's nearly impossible to find one like it for the money. It is from Arizona and has only been in Michigan for a few months. It is the hard to find 4X4 with a strong running 360 V8 and a manual four-on-the floor transmission. It is a bit baked from the desert sun, but its body, frame, and mechanics are very, very sound.  I've only had this truck for about a month.  My intention was to either resell or redo and I'm trying the resell first.  I've put about 100 miles on it since I purchased it and it seems to run out very well.  The odometer has about 52000 miles on it, but I have no way to verify this.  Truck is all original except for the wheels.


Exterior:  Body and Frame amazingly solid.  No rot.  As seen in the pictures there are spots where the sun blasted the paint off and there's a bit of surface rust in these areas.  Frame is solid with no scaling.  Driver mirror is not the original and is missing the glass. There are bolt holes in both doors where the mirrors were changed from the factory mirrors and then changed back.
All the molding, trim, and emblems are still on the truck (ranger emblem is missing in the grill).  They're all in good condition.  The grill has a bend in it as can be seen in the pictures.

Interior is in good shape except dash panel and arm rest vinyl are brittle and cracking. Steering wheel wrap is destroyed. Seat is worn, but no rips. The horn trim is present, but is missing a plastic tab and falls off. I took the carpet out to show floor boards, but I still have it and it's in fair shape.  All the gauges work except fuel gauge.  Truck had AC, but the pump has been removed.  Everything is there except the pump.

Drivetrain:  Engine starts and runs great. Transmission's a little tough to shift, but nothing out of the ordinary for the vintage.  Could probably use a clutch and through out bearing however.  4X4 works fine.  Lockouts and transfer case are in good working order.  There is a bit of squeak coming from one of the front u-joints.  Has duel exhaust that is not original. Tires are mismatched and a bit cracked, but in fair condition treadwise.

The front windshield has a handful of stone chips, but otherwise all glass is original and in good shape.

Please feel free to request more details, pics, or an appointment to come view the truck first hand. 

Thanks for your time.

Ford hybrids getting update to improve fuel economy

Tue, 16 Jul 2013

Ford has announced that it is introducing "calibration updates designed to improve on-road fuel economy for owners of the 2013 Ford C-Max Hybrid, 2013 Ford Fusion Hybrid and 2013 Lincoln MKZ Hybrid."
We can speculate that these changes are at least due in part to lawsuits over mileage claims of hybrid vehicles. The automaker is enhancing 2013 models starting in August by raising their electric cruising speed to 85 miles per hour from 62 mph, optimizing the use of active grille shutters and the climate control system, shortening the engine warm-up period by 50 percent and reducing electric fan speed to minimize the fan's energy consumption.
It bears mentioning that Ford is doing pretty well in the US electrified vehicle market this year. The company claims to have grown its share in the segment by 12 points to 16 percent while taking a high number of Toyota Prius trade-ins in the process. Conversely, Toyota has experienced a five-percent drop in new-Prius sales over the same period. Additionally, Ford states that it has increased its share of the US vehicle market by one percent this year, more than any full-line automaker.

Mulally to stay at Ford through end of 2014 at least

Fri, 06 Dec 2013

Alan Mulally isn't going anywhere... at least not just yet. The CEO who helped turn around Ford Motor Company has been linked to the top job at tech behemoth Microsoft, leading to a flurry of rumors about potential successors. Those rumors, though, may have just been put to rest - at least for a little while.
Speaking to Edsel Ford II (great-grandson of company founder Henry Ford) at the unveiling of the new Mustang, Automotive News Europe confirmed that Mulally would stick around until the end of next year. "Alan is staying through the end of 2014 and that's all I know," said Ford. "Frankly, he has told us that his plan is to stay with Ford through the end of 2014."
Presuming that Edsel Ford is correct and that Microsoft isn't so hot on Mulally that it saves the position for him, it seems increasingly likely that the 68-year-old exec is more interested in continuing to work in Dearborn rather than in Redmond.

Thieves still love older Hondas and pickups most, says NICB [w/video]

Wed, 20 Aug 2014

No one wants to have their car stolen, but a new study by the National Insurance Crime Bureau has some bad news for older Honda owners and pickup drivers. Fortunately, it has better news for drivers overall. The group is reporting that according to preliminary data from the Federal Bureau of Investigation, thefts were down 3.2 percent in 2013 (versus 2012) to fewer than 700,000 cars. That's the lowest figure since 1967. That's also less than half of the peak of over 1.66 million thefts in 1991. "The drop in thefts is good news for all of us," says NICB President and CEO Joe Wehrle. "But it still amounts to a vehicle being stolen every 45 seconds and losses of over $4 billion a year."
Honda drivers might not find it such good news with older Accord and Civic models topping this year's theft study. Toyota and Dodge can't really celebrate, either, with two models each on the list, as well. Overall, this year's list was split evenly between foreign and domestic models, which were mostly pickups.
The 10 most likely vehicles to be stolen in 2013 were:
