1969 Ford Truck – Ranger

Restored

 

I have an antiquity company in the middle of Texas. We specialize in fine antiques and collectibles.  Once in a while my customers turn in a classic automobile or motorcycle.

This is one of those items:

 

 

This absolutely beautiful truck belonged to a very dear friend who just wanted to restore it as a tribute to his late father.  The truck has a straight six engine (rebuilt) with an automatic transmission.  Almost everything in the truck, except a few little items, is new with receipts.  Here are just some of the items that he fixed/replaced in just the past two - three years, of course the truck was parked at his home and he rarely drove it:

In the last 4 months the truck received a $1,500.00 paint job, a $217.70 original bench seat cover, and also a new carpet was installed, and new dashes cover.

 

 When we got the truck it had been sitting for about 6 months, so we sent it out and a mechanic drained the gas tank, rebuilt the carburetor, and changed the oil.  The truck runs fantastic.  It is a Texas truck with only one previous owner.  It comes with a clear Texas title and all the receipts.  The truck has a very reasonable reserve due to a lack of space.

 

Even thought over $10,000 has been spent on the truck’s restoration, please remember that this is not a 100 point car/truck.

 

It is missing a small center cap in the middle of the steering wheel, and the instrument glass is a little bit foggy, but overall most of the work has been done and it only needs a new owner to drive and enjoy it.

 

All the inspections must be done before the auction closes.

Remember that this classic truck is 46 years old.  Please remember that things always look better in pictures.  So you are more than welcome to come see it in person.

 

Your bid is your contract.  Please place bids only if you are serious about buying the item. If you are the winning bid, you are entering into a legal binding contract to purchase the item.

 

We require a $300 non-refundable deposit immediately after the bidding closes and the remaining balance within a week.  Shipping is the responsibility of the buyer. The truck will be sold as is, with no warranty or guarantee.

We reserve the right to cancel any bid for excessive negative feedback.  And I may also advertise it locally.

Detroit 3 small cars lay an egg in latest Consumer Reports reliability study

Tue, 28 Oct 2014

Consumer Reports has released its Annual Auto Reliability Survey and the results are, in a word, interesting. While we already covered the score-damaging effects of infotainment systems, there's another big angle to the data that's getting some attention - the utterly dismal scores of the Detroit Three's small car offerings.
The turbocharged Dodge Dart and Chevrolet Cruze, as well as the Ford Fiesta were their respective brands' lowest-scoring models, a stat that's made worse by the fact that the American automakers finished 25th, 21st and 23rd, respectively.
That's not acceptable for The Detroit Free Press' auto critic, Mark Phelan, who has penned a scathing critique of the D3's small car reliability scores, arguing that GM, Ford and Chrysler are "out of excuses."

Former Cadillac boss Butler takes Ford tech job

Tue, 07 Jan 2014

When Don Butler made the surprising decision to leave his post as Cadillac's VP of global strategic development, it was a surprise. Citing a desire to "recalibrate, reassess my priorities" in that August announcement, it wasn't entirely clear where Butler - a virtual General Motors lifer after spending nearly 30 years with the company - would end up. Turns out he took a trip to Dearborn.
Butler has taken a position in the newly created position of Executive Director of Connected Vehicles and Services at Ford, where he'll be responsible for the Blue Oval's global connectivity strategy. "Not only does Don understand the connected car landscape, but probably just as important, he understands customer expectations," said Raj Nair, who, as Group Vice President of Global Product Development, is Butler's new boss. "Having a leader with technology experience both inside and outside the industry is a rare combination - we're excited to have Don join our team."
As Ford has received its fair share of flak for the sometimes recalcitrant MyFord Touch infotainment system and its Sync voice-controls, it appears that Butler has his work cut out for him.

Ford open to diesel, hybrid or electric Mustang? [w/poll]

Sun, 08 Dec 2013

The Ford Mustang may not be the first vehicle that comes to mind when you think of environmentally-friendly forms of transportation. The arrival of the turbocharged four-cylinder engine in the new Mustang could do a lot to combat that perception, but the EcoBoost engine may just be the tip of the iceberg in that regard.
Speaking with Ford powertrain boss Bob Fascetti at the reveal of the new Mustang in Australia, GoAuto reports that the Blue Oval automaker is considering offering its latest pony car with a diesel, hybrid or even electric powertrain in the future.
"We're not looking at diesel at the moment, but given where we need to go with fuel consumption we are looking at all our options," said Fascetti. Other options could include a nine- or ten-speed automatic transmission to replace the current six-speed unit in order to help improve fuel economy and emissions for the Mustang, although figures for the current lineup have yet to be revealed.
