1970 Ford f100 Ranger

Engine---360 (original)

Transmission---3 speed on the column

Brakes---manual drum

Steering---manual

Complete body-off restoration. We bought this F100 from the original owner with no intentions of doing a restoration. We were just going to clean it up a little. After realizing how solid this truck was we decided to restore it. We removed the body and bed and had the inside and under-side of the bed media blasted. The inside floor of the bed was extremely solid with just some light pitting. The underside was just as nice. The lower sides in front of and behind the tires were perfect with only a couple of pin-holes that showed up after the blasting. The floor of the cab was solid with only a small spot on the drivers floor that had began to show signs of rust. I removed the spot and replaced it with a 6"x6" patch (didn't really need it but did it anyway). We had the entire truck sanded and repainted the original Boxwood Green. We painted the underside of the bed but left the cab underside original. You can still see some of the original paint on the bottom of the cab. The body panels had no dents (other than a couple of small dings) so no body filler needed to be used other than a light skim-coat to make sure everything was smooth. We wanted to use as many of the original parts as we could so we only replaced the body-side molding and the front hood lip molding. The front grill, window chrome, emblems and all the glass is original to the truck. The truck has the complete original interior (still has the original FoMoCo rubber mat) except for a dash cover. The seat has a few small splits in the stitching (as you can see in the pictures) but we did not replace it because you cannot find the original material. The AM radio still works. The cigarette lighter doesn't look like it has ever been used. We replaced all the window and door rubbers. We put 8" wheels with bands and dog dish caps to give the truck a little better look. We replaced all 4 shocks, both rear leaf springs and some bushings to help with the ride. The engine is original to the truck and runs and sounds great. I put a new head gasket and intake gasket on the engine and that was all I had to do to the engine.

This is a very solid and great running truck. This is not a $25000 restoration but if you are looking for a great truck that will turn heads and you will be proud to drive then this is the truck for you. I have tried to describe in detail as much as I can. I am sure I have left something out but I don't like to "over sell" something. Let the pictures tell you the rest.

Ford pits The Stig against Gran Turismo 6 in Focus ST Goodwood run

Thu, 03 Jul 2014

The Goodwood Festival of Speed is one of the world great automotive gatherings. So, it was the perfect event for Ford to give the refreshed 2015 Focus ST its world debut in front of a loving public. It even surprised us with a new diesel-powered version, as well.
The Blue Oval really put its focus on making the ST a better driver for this refresh. It left its 2.0-liter turbocharged four-cylinder alone to still pump out a respectable 252 horsepower and 270 pound-feet of torque. The changes like a retuned front suspension, electric power steering and improved interior made the hot hatch an even better place to spend time behind the wheel.
To prove that the Focus ST is still as potent as ever, Ford set up a one-on-one race up the Goodwood Hill. But instead of putting the two cars side-by-side, former Stig from Top Gear UK, Ben Collins, piloted the real model up the course, and his rival drove the virtual version in Gran Turismo 6. The two hot hatches set off at the same time to see whether reality could beat the virtual world, and the finish was actually extremely close. Scroll down to watch the video and find out the winner of this battle at Goodwood.

Next Shelby Mustang to wear GT350 nameplate

Fri, 21 Jun 2013

Earlier this month, rumors started to swirl 'round the web about the next-generation Ford SVT Mustang - the halo version of the all-new 2015 'Stang seen testing in the gallery above. Originally, we heard that the Shelby GT500 moniker would be dumped in favor of "a name you're familiar with," which some sources guessed could mean a return of the Cobra nameplate.
That might not be correct. According to Road & Track, citing a report from Mustangs Daily, the new range-topping Mustang will bring back the Shelby GT350 name - currently used on an aftermarket version of Ford's Pony produced by Shelby American (take a look at our recent Quick Spin of that car). Expect the new GT350 to be quite a bit different than the current GT500 - it will be all motor, using a V8 that's derived from the naturally aspirated 5.0-liter Coyote engine (though it will no doubt have a higher displacement). The GT350 will be a lot more powerful than the next Mustang GT, which is expected to offer something like 450 horsepower, but won't be quite as absurd as the 662-horsepower GT500 we currently enjoy.
The Shelby GT350 will reportedly bow with the rest of the new Mustang range at the 2014 New York Auto Show, which coincides exactly with the original Mustang's debut at the New York World's Fair in 1964. If that seems far out, don't worry, we'll be seeing the rest of the 2015 Mustang range before then, but Road & Track reports that the 2014 Detroit Auto Show stage will be reserved for the reveal of the next Ford F-150 pickup.

Jay Leno sees how the other half lives with CHP cop cars new and old

Mon, 01 Jul 2013

Comedian Jay Leno is changing gears from driving fast cars to checking out some of the police cruisers that regularly chase down and dish out punishment to those fast cars. In this episode of Jay Leno's Garage, we get the lowdown on the modifications made to the Ford Explorer for the Interceptor package (which looks pretty tough in its California Highway Patrol livery).
The new Ford is cool, but cooler still are the pack of classic CHP cars that Jay has along for the episode. A 1982 Mustang, 1966 Dodge Polara, 1970 Mercury Monterey and 2000 Crown Victoria are all in the shop. Better still, Jay lays out an argument for ones of the classic cruisers as the best cop car of all time. Get your guesses in now, and then scroll down to watch and learn.
