1973 Ford F100 F-100 Ranger Xlt Short Bed Pick-up Truck 390 46k Original Miles! on 2040-cars
Dallas, Texas, United States
|
What a great old truck! If I had room for it, I would surely keep it. This 1973 Ford F100 SHORT BED (bed is 6'10") has only 46K original miles, and has been stored properly in Dallas, TX. When you look at the under carriage pictures, you will see that it has surface rust only. Runs great. Numbers matching 390 V8, with original Carburetor, C-6 Automatic Transmission with Power Brakes, Power Steering and Air Conditioning which works well (and, again, since I am in DALLAS, I do KNOW air conditioning!) Original A/C compressor. (or appears to be so, it certainly is the original type). Engine runs strong. No smoking at start up, or any other time. It will squeal the tires from a stop, and chirp the tires as the automatic shifts from first to second. I thought about warming the motor up a little, but it is so original I left it alone. I did re-build the carburetor recently, replaced the spark plugs, spark plug wires, changed the oil, oil filter, air filter, and serviced the A/C. Cigarette lighter works fine, and I use the plug for my phone charger. All lights work. EVERYTHING works. Has a few very small dents from over the years. I installed a Petronix electronic ignition inside the stock distributor. Works perfectly. You can take it back to points if you like, but I do not know why you would. Has 15" Michelin tires that have less than 2000 miles. Had I kept the truck I might have installed slightly larger 15" rubber, but these tires were simply too good to take off now. They have some years on them, but since the truck has been stored properly, there is no dry rot. Some of the pictures show the white letters on the tires to be on the outside, but I had them turned in to the inside recently as I prefer that look. Hubcaps are original Ford. This truck has what I believe to be the ORIGINAL bias-ply spare tire on the spare tire carrier! (I do not know if it is original, of course, but it is certainly a bias ply tire!) I do not know if the spare was ever on the ground save for maybe rotating the tires. Original jack is in place under the hood. Interior looks great! No rips or tears. The only place I notice a little wear is when you get out on the driver's side, the seat springs seem a little weak. When you are in the driving position they seem correct. Headliner correct and original. Cargo area and under hood lamps work properly. Has chrome bumpers, and I have bumper guards for the front. I removed them, as I think it is a cleaner look. Paint is fading. It could be compounded and improve its appearance, but it is 41 year old paint. Bed shows paint scratches, but very light wear on the metal. One small dent in the front portion of the hood above the F in Ford above the grill. Looks like a .22 caliber dent! (Not a hole, just an impression) All trim pieces and badges are in place This is a great truck. It gets compliments EVERY WHERE it goes. I wish I had a place for it! NO EMAILS....Please CALL if you have Serious Interest. 214-902-9724. Thank you for your interest.

European jury picks finalists for 2015 Car of the Year
Tue, Dec 16 2014There are countless Car of the Year awards handed out each year, and naturally, Europe has its own way of doing things. Every year, a panel of jurists representing seven publications in seven different languages and seven different countries get together to name their joint Car of the Year. The panel released a list of 32 candidates back in July, and it has now whittled that list down to seven nominees. The list consists of the BMW 2 Series Active Tourer, the Citroen C4 Cactus (shown), the Ford Mondeo, the Mercedes-Benz C-Class, the Nissan Qashqai, the Renault Twingo and the Volkswagen Passat. Of those seven, only two are available in the US – those being the Mondeo (sold Stateside as the Fusion) and the C-Class. The Passat is an entirely different model in North America, the Qashqai isn't offered here, Citroen and Renault don't even participate in our market and the BMW 2 Series is represented here only by the completely different coupe and convertible. Expect the one and only recipient of the 2015 Car of the Year award to be announced at the Geneva Motor Show this coming March, and while you're waiting, you can place your guesses for the eventual winner in Comments.

2022 New York Auto Show Roundup | All the reveals, reviews, pictures
Fri, Apr 15 2022NEW YORK — In case you missed it, the New York Auto Show took place this year after being canceled in both 2020 and 2021 due to Covid. A lot of manufacturers showed up in force, but not everybody did. No matter, we were there, and we brought you news, photos and scoops from the floor throughout the show. All of our New York-related stories can be found at our central hub here, but if youÂ’d rather just get a small taste of everything in a quick and digestible format, keep scrolling. 2023 Kia Telluride and its new X-Pro trim Kia revealed the TellurideÂ’s first major refresh at New York, and it makes the three-row crossover a little bit more desirable without screwing up what we liked about it before. ThereÂ’s a new X-Line and X-Pro trim for someone who might want a little more off-road capability, and a number of tech improvements. Most notably, a newly-designed dash features new and bigger screens. 2023 Hyundai Palisade The TellurideÂ’s sister car from Hyundai was treated to a similar refresh. Like the Telluride, Hyundai gave the Palisade a slightly revised look, a new off-road trim (called XRT in the PalisadeÂ’s case), more tech inside and a new dash design with full-width air vents. If we had to choose, weÂ’re a little more impressed with the TellurideÂ’s refresh, as a number of us on staff actually prefer the pre-refresh Palisade styling over the new one. 2023 Jeep Wagoneer L and Grand Wagoneer L This one was inevitable. Jeep revealed the longer, roomier versions of its Wagoneer and Grand Wagoneer in New York, and theyÂ’re designated with an “L” at the end of their names. Total length grows by a foot, and the wheelbase goes up by 7 inches versus the standard Wagoneer models. Jeep has essentially allocated all this extra room to the cargo area, as it now offers a staggering 44.2 cubic-feet of space behind the third row. Besides the L, Jeep announced that its new Hurricane inline-six engine would find its first home in the Wagoneer. Efficiency gets a small boost, and power is more than sufficient at either 420 horsepower (standard output) or 510 horsepower (high-output version) from the twin-turbo I-6. Chrysler Airflow Graphite Concept The Stellantis party continues with Chrysler and its slightly revised Airflow. Re-styled for the New York market after initially debuting at CES in Las Vegas, the Airflow Concept gets new paint, changed accent colors, a slightly changed interior design and a new interpretation of the Chrysler logo.
Ford readying Ranger-based Everest SUV?
Fri, 21 Feb 2014Way back in August, we showed you a Ford concept for the Australian market called the Everest. Now, we can show you that work on the new Ranger-based SUV is well under way.
At this stage, it's still quite clearly a mule (note the misalignment of the front and rear doors), wearing the Ranger's front end and the rump of Ford's overseas Territory crossover. The wheelbase is shorter than a Ranger, according to our spy photographers, which strikes us as somewhat odd for a more passenger-oriented vehicle. Disc brakes should be fitted at all four corners, while the new SUV, which will almost certainly wear the Everest name, should sport a new rear suspension.
In terms of looks, we're expecting the Everest Concept to inform the appearance of the production model. Naturally, there will also be some interior tweaks, particularly around the dashboard, which is covered in these photos.
