1975 FORD 1/2 TON 4X4 RANGER.

There are a lot of these old fords out there for sale, but the majority of them are beat, rusty, abused or all of the above. I've owned many and look for them all the time and rarely see them for sale this clean. It is especially to find a 4x4 in this solid. There are more clean 2wd's out there but the 4x4's were generally used hard as they were intended to be. The truck is mostly original, solid, and straigh. It runs great and has the V8 with automatic transmission. This was an old grandpa truck and still has the original hubcaps. This is a great ford to drive as is but a perfect candidate for an easy restoration.

 

I HAVE MANY MORE PICS AND A VIDEO OF THE TRUCK IN A LINK I CAN SEND YOU. EBAY HAS CHANGED IT'S POLICIES AND I CAN'T FIGURE OUT HOW TO PUT THE LINK IN THE LISTING NOW.

 

MECHANICAL

The truck runs great. The motor is most likely the original engine. It has the 360 V8. It does not smoke at all. No major leaks but has the usual seepage as most this old do. No noticeable dripping leaks. Runs smooth and cool. No water in the oil or anything like that. Oil pressure drops when warm but is still in the normal operating range. I'm sure the motor has many miles left to go, but it isn't new. It has no knocks or ticks. I'm sure it wouldn't hurt to change all the fluids and do plugs/wires/cap/rotor and the other usual tuneup stuff. I don't know that it needs any of those things, but I don't know the last time they were done. Choke needs adjusted a bit but works. Starts up every time. Automatic transmission works fine. This ford has the full time 4x4. It works as it should. I know they are somewhat easy to convert to part time. I always liked them because they are similar to all wheel drive and you don't have to worry about swapping ends when it's slick. This has powersteering and brakes. No air. The ford drives good and has BRAND new tires. Less than 20 miles on them. Headlights, heater, wipers, turnsignals, etc. still work. This has a cd player and I never tried it but the lights work so it may work.  Gearing is most likely 3:50 ratio judging by how it goes down the road. I've had probably 20 or more old fords like this and I'm sure that is probably the ratio or close to that. Speedometer works and all other gauges. Exhaust is newer. Only three hubcaps are included.
That's all that it came with.



BODY


The body is very straight and has no rust. No bondo. This pickup was originally green. It was professionally painted in 1977. There is no sign of filler at all and it's obvious that the paint job is almost as old as the pickup. The interior, jams, under hood, pretty much everything was repainted red. Interior was green and painted black at the time with vinyl paint. It's wearing through after 37 years. The inside of the box is not dented and looks to have been used lightly. Box, tailgage, cab, floors, cab mounts, hood, roof, firewall, fenders, inner fenders, doors, frame etc. etc. are in nice shape. Pictures in the link show the underside of the cab. Nothing that may look like rust, is rust. It is just dirt or undercoating peeling off. This truck is as dry as you'll find.


INTERIOR

The interior is in usable condition but has the usual wear of an unrestored pickup this old. The seat has been recovered at some point. Floormat, headliner, dash, and doorpanels are usable. Dash is uncut with exception of cd player being put in.


OVERALL

This truck is in good shape and I know they don't come along very often this solid and original. The f100's are really getting harder to find than highboys. I like highboys also, but they have lower gearing and ride rougher. I would cruise this truck as-is. It is also is a a great candidate for an original restoration.

Ford Mustang 50th anniversary edition brings in $170k

Tue, 30 Sep 2014

Just the other day, we reported on the first Dodge Challenger SRT Hellcat selling for a whopping $825,000 at auction. But impressive as that sum was, the Challenger wasn't the only sought-after modern muscle car to cross the Barrett-Jackson auction block in Las Vegas this past weekend. So did this rare Ford Mustang.
The last of 1,964 special-edition 50 Years Limited Edition pony cars sold for a princely $170,000, with proceeds benefiting the Edith and Benson Ford Heart & Vascular Institute, a branch of the Henry Ford Health System.
The pony car in question is based on the 2015 Ford Mustang GT and upgrades with a performance package and nearly every option on the book, along with a unique appearance package to set it apart in celebration of the Mustang's 50th anniversary. It's available in two exclusive shades - Wimbledon white or Kona blue - with either a manual or automatic transmission. Only 1,964 highly symbolic examples were to be built, and this was the last of them.

Ringbrothers shows off Coyote-powered 1968 Mercury Cougar

Thu, Feb 25 2021

We'll openly admit that not every SEMA build is our cup of tea. But this? A tastefully resto-modded 1968 Mercury Cougar with a 460-horsepower Ford Mustang V8? Yeah, this is right in our wheelhouse. Sadly, there was no in-pwerson SEMA show in 2020, so we missed out on gems like this one. SEMA or no SEMA, the aftermarket carries on, and co-owners Jim and Mike Ring of Ringbrothers (get it?) saw no reason to let their time and effort go to waste.  When they're not building wild customs (see: 1,100-horsepower 1972 AMC Javelin AMX) or more subtle showcases (such as this Cougar or their 1971 K5 Chevy Blazer build from 2018), the folks at Ringbrothers crank out factory reproduction parts, whether for old-fashioned restoration or modification purposes. While '60s muscle cars are recurring build subjects for the two, the Cougar was the first of its kind they tackled.  Keeping it in the family, Ringbrothers sourced a Ford 5.0-liter "Coyote" V8 and a 10-Speed Automatic (lifted from an F-150 Raptor, incidentally) for the build. They didn't stop with the driveline, of course. The suspension was overhauled with a little help from DSE and a set of HRE Series C1 C103 Forged 3-Piece wheels were thrown over upgraded brakes.  "We put our heart into each car we build, and this Cougar is no exception," Jim said. "The finished product is mild and classy, yet any enthusiast instantly knows it's not stock. I imagine this is what Mercury designers would have come up with if they were building the Cougar today." "While we couldn't bring the car to the SEMA Show, we hope it can be shown to the public soon," Mike said. "We had never done a Cougar before, so this was a fun build. I love working with new shapes and coming up with new ideas." There's plenty to appreciate about this Cougar apart from the mechanicals, too. The finish is Augusta Green Metallic (courtesy of BASF), which was a factory color in 1968. You may know it by another name: Highland Green. There are a few custom exterior touches, but they're quite subtle and styled to be period-correct. The interior was also restored and updated, and it's where you'll find the only thing we're not fond of: that big, fat truck shifter. Gearbox choices notwithstanding, it's a bit of an eyesore. But considering how gorgeous the rest is, we'll give it a pass.  Related Video:

Ford 3D-printing Mustang out of chocolate and candy for Valentine's Day

Thu, 13 Feb 2014

Is your beloved in love with the new 2015 Ford Mustang? Do they like chocolate (that's a trick question - everyone likes chocolate)? Are they a bit of a futurist? Then this Hallmark holiday, you need to get them this Ford Mustang, 3D-printed in sweet, delicious chocolate.
Ford is teaming with 3D Systems' Sugar Lab in LA to produce the super-accurate pony car confections in both chocolate and sugar candy varieties. The process kicked off with a CAD rendering of the 2015 Mustang, which was then programmed into the 3D printer. After a bit of work from the machine, a four-inch long, two-inch tall Mustang was the result. Why the tieup with 3D Systems, though?
"We wanted to create something fun to show that while 3D printing made these edible Mustangs, manufacturing-level 3D printing was used in the development of Ford's all-new sports car," said Paul Susalla, Ford's supervisor of 3D printing.
