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.

Watch these videos of an NHRA racer's bodywork blowing off into a crowd

Tue, 23 Apr 2013

Just a few months ago, fan safety at racetracks was a hot topic following the last-lap NASCAR Nationwide Series crash at Daytona that sent large pieces of racecars into the grandstands injuring 33 fans. Now, a freak incident at a National Hot Rod Association event resulted in a drag racer's bodywork flying into the crowd at the NHRA Four-Wide Nationals in Charlotte over the weekend. The carbon-fiber body of Robert Hight's Ford Mustang funny car blew off toward the end of a run when his engine exploded, but fortunately, the two fans evaluated after the incident were later released without serious injury.
As you can see in the image above, the body flew high into the air before landing on a walkway in front of the grandstands, a bit of happenstance that likely gave most fans enough time and space to move out of the way. Scroll down to watch a couple of videos showing what happened, including one from a fan's perspective that also reveals what appears to be part of the body's metal bracing landing dangerously close to the crowd.

Ford will put solid axles under the Bronco as the off-roading gods intended

Wed, Jan 25 2017

We've been wondering what sort of creature the Bronco would be since we first heard of the thing last October, when a union chairman spilled the beans on the SUV and the Ranger pickup. Ford confirmed a 2020 arrival date for the Bronco at the 2017 Detroit Auto Show, but at that point pretty much all we were sure of was that the Ranger and Bronco would be returning. The open question would be how hungry Ford was to spoil the Jeep Wrangler's solo party as a compact(ish) off-roader with dual solid axles, since the easiest thing would be to carry over the suspension design of the presumably related international Ford Ranger and its Everest SUV version: independent front suspension with either a leaf- (Ranger) or coil-suspended (Everest) solid rear axle. Enter Dana, the long-time supplier of Jeep stick axles, to confirm that the 2020 Bronco is getting a pair of them. That means solid axles front and rear, just like under a Wrangler. So reports Automotive News, citing an investor presentation from Dana. All signs so far, such as the report that the Bronco would be engineered by the same team in Australia that created the Ranger pickup, indicated that the Bronco would share a platform with the Ranger and thus be body-on-frame. The solid axle confirmation essentially confirms that theory. Some off-road-capable vehicles have paired solid axles with unibody frames, like the Jeep Cherokee (XJ generation) and Grand Cherokee (ZJ and WJ generations), but they are outliers. Generally, if you've got solid axles at both ends, they're going in a vehicle with a ladder frame. It also lends credence to the notion that our Bronco won't simply be an imported Everest, which might be too understated to stand out from lesser crossovers anyways. This is good news if you have Blue Oval in your blood and pine for a modern SUV that'll show up the Jeep guys on the trail. Less directly, it could mean a wholesale assault on the formula that makes Jeeps successful in the first place: the massive aftermarket of off-roading equipment and dress-up bits that appeal to Jeep buyers almost as much as a Trail Rated badge. At a minimum, Bronco enthusiasts can breathe easy that the reborn SUV won't merely be a light-duty crossover with styling "inspired" by true off-roaders. There's still a lot left to learn about the Bronco. Keep up to date with our running summary of everything we know about the returning off-roader.

2016 Ford Focus RS to start at $35,730? [UPDATE]

Wed, Jul 29 2015

UPDATE: Unsurprisingly, Ford declined to comment on the pricing shown on the consumer page, with spokesman Aaron Miller telling Autoblog that the Blue Oval does "not comment on pricing speculation." The webpage showing the $35,730 figure has since been pulled down. We love it when automakers make little, tiny mistakes. You know, not the big stuff that leads to recalls, but the small things, like accidentally releasing pricing of a hotly anticipated model via its US consumer website. Such a thing has apparently happened to Ford, as Jalopnik's Car Buying sub-blog has uncovered a page on the site listing the starting price of the 2016 Focus RS. The cost of entry for the 345-horsepower, all-wheel-drive, torque-vectoring hot hatchback is $35,730, according to the website. That's $1,035 more than the base Subaru WRX STI, although it's $865 less than the Volkswagen Golf R. Considering the RS outguns both models by a very significant margin – 40 horsepower over the STI and 47 over the Golf R – that price seems very agreeable. If it's correct, that is. Aside from showing the RS' starting price, the page also gives us a glimpse into the options sheet. There's an RS2 equipment level that adds $2,795 to the base price along with navigation and leather Recaro seats, an $895 sunroof, and a 19-inch wheel and Michelin Pilot Sport Cup tire package for $1,990 (or just $1,395 for the 19s alone). Some fiddling with the quite incomplete configurator – there are no images and the overall design is rather glitchy – revealed a max price of $42,275. We've reached out to Ford for confirmation of the pricing information displayed. Head into Comments and let us know what you think of the pricing. Has Ford hit it out of the park by slotting in a more powerful competitor between the Subaru and Volkswagen? Were you expecting a higher price (like your author), or is this still too much money for a jumped-up Focus? Related Video:
