1971 Ford F100 Ranger Short Bed 2wd Pickup
I am selling my "run around" truck and you have the chance to win!! This truck is a very cool and great running yesteryear experience. The 302 V8 runs like a top and with the automatic, just put in drive and go. Starts up first time, everytime and does not need any pressing on accelerator or anything (unless it has been sitting for many days/weeks). Engine looks and sounds great. Has a brand new Distributor and air filter. Nice and peppy engine. Transmission was rebuilt 66,000 miles ago according to some paperwork I found in glove box. Truck spent most of its life in Tennessee according to papers. I just replaced the turn signal "guts" so both work, all lights work (even the interior) and the speedo and odometer works. The gas gauge does not. Radio works and has a very cool aftermarket KMC FM modulator that allows you to listen to FM stations. It works also. Also has a working Oil Pressure gauge mounted under dash. I don't think the Temp gauge works as I have never seen it move very much. The Horn does not work, I tried to get it working when I changed the turn signal cam and I did get it to sound. The issue is that the small brass plug that fits into the cylinder on the wheel is missing. Get a new one and it will work like a charm. The heater also works and blower fan. Also the windshield wipers work as well as the hazard lights. So again, a few things not working but overall for a 43 year old truck it is in great mechanical and working shape. Now to the downside..... There is rust all over. I have spent the time I have had it trying to at least stop the progression by grinding, sanding and putting on rust stop. I also kept the truck inside my shop so has been protected. But, the rust has done damage and you need to take a goo look at the pics before bidding. I have taken pictures of all of the main areas of issue so please review. Cab mounts first and foremost. Both are rotted out and will need to be repaired. I have not and have driven for almost 2 years now no problem, but, I would imagine that soon they will need help. The body of the truck is about 4 different shades of green and gray. Green from the original Boxwood Green Paint and then several different version of primer. The top has been painted a Pearl White along with the wheels. Not a professional paint job but looks cool. I lowered the back end 2 inches with brand new shackles (pictured) and added some little hubcaps to give it a retro look. Guys, this is a shop truck, not a show truck. It has it's issues with rust, but it has never left me stranded and the it is very fun to drive around.
Ok, here is the history of the truck: Built in May of 1971 at the Michigan Plant. Ordered by the Louisville District. Came with what appears to be the engine it has in it now as a 205 HP 8.6:1 Compression 2 barrel 302 V8. 3 Speed C4 Automatic transmission with a 3.25 real axle. Came Wimbledon White over Boxwood Green in the Ranger trim package. Got this from decoding the VIN. I assume all is still the same except the "varied" colors now.
The interior is in good condition but the seat cover is torn on the drivers side. The original seat cover is underneath and it looks like this was a custom padded seat cover put on by an upholstery shop at some point. Good ole crushed velvet. The drivers side floor pan has been replaced as it was rusted out (done before me). The previous owner I bought it from did the following work: All new Wheel Cylinders New Timing Chain Carb was rebuilt As mentioned, I have added a brand new Distributor and muffler since.
Take a look at the pics, it is a ratty old truck but I like the look and with the stance now corrected in the rear being lowered, looks good. By the way, all of the Glass is good, does have some foggyness toward the bottom of the windsheild but no problems. Windows roll up and down and the door locks work also. A good solid foundation and with some body work could really be a neat truck. Truck has a clear Oklahoma title in my name and is currently tagged through July of 2015. Good luck and let me know if you have any questions. Winning bidder will need to pay a $500.00 deposit via Paypal within 24 hrs of auction closing, the balance in cash or wire within 7 days and pickup from my location in Oklahoma. I will help with loading if necessary. You could also fly in and drive it home it you want, I will pick you up at airport. I would trust it to drive cross country. Thanks all.

Ford driving Alaskan maniac rams toddler-carrying SUV
Mon, Jul 25 2016A couple from Anchorage had a frightening traffic encounter when they were followed and repeatedly rammed by a stranger in a pickup truck. Grace Bernert, her boyfriend, and his two-year-old daughter were returning home from a trip to downtown Anchorage when they noticed a blue, 2001 Ford F-150 following closely behind them. "The guy was so close, we couldn't see his headlights," Bernert told KTVA. Bernert, who was riding shotgun, pulled out her phone to record the truck when it struck the rear end of their Acura SUV. That's when she called 911. Bernert's boyfriend tried to lose the F-150 in the Sullivan Arena parking lot, then drove to a local Ford dealer's parking lot where he drove through a maze of new Ford pickups in an attempt to shake their assailant. "We started doing circles around the brand new Fords because we thought the truck wouldn't be able to turn as fast as we would," said Bernert. "We were right, but the guy didn't care. He just kept hitting the new fords and backing up, coming after us." The truck continued to follow them, ramming the Acura again and again. Bernert estimates that F-150 driver struck their SUV between five and seven times, and hit numerous new trucks in the dealership parking lot. Eventually, they ducked into a nearby neighborhood where they managed to lose the F-150 and called 911. Bernert told KTVA that she believes they were targeted but doesn't know why. "The guy was either some random sick person who didn't care, or somebody who knew us and didn't care there was a kid in the car," she said. Anchorage Police arrived shortly after the couple escaped the F-150 and filed a report about the incident. They are currently investigating. Recent Video:
Ford Fiesta becomes UK all-time best seller
Thu, 24 Jul 2014We may regard Ford as an American automaker, but ask a Brit and they may tell you otherwise. The Blue Oval has, after all, been selling cars in the UK since 1903, and started manufacturing there as far back as 1911 when it began local production of the Model T in Manchester. Last year Ford ended 100 years of vehicle manufacturing in the UK when the last Transit van rolled off the assembly line in Southampton, but it's still the biggest-selling automotive marque in Britain.
Ford has led the British market for 34 out of the past 45 years, selling more Fiestas than any other company sells any other car in the UK since 2009... when it overtook the Focus. In fact the Fiesta has now become the best-selling car in British history, topping 4,115,000 units since its introduction in 1976. The previous record was held by - you guessed it - another Ford: the Escort sold 4,105,961 units over the course of its 32 years on the British market.
Although the Fiesta is no longer manufactured in the UK (previous versions having been built at Dagenham until 2002), engines are: the EcoBoost line was developed at the company's R&D center in Essex and are built at the factory in Dunton, while its diesel engines were developed at Dagenham in East London. Even the 1.6-liter EcoBoost engine in the Fiesta ST is built in South Wales.
