Hello and thank you for taking the time to view my listing for my '75 ford f100 Ranger 4X2 Pickup that has been a dream to own. It has a 390 motor with a 4 speed manual transmission. This has been a daily driver for me for the past two years and I have put some time and money into this bad boy. The motor and transmission are very strong and can tow just about anything within reason. Over the past 1 1/2 years I have put on all new tires, new rear R/L axle bearings/seals as well as a new rear pinion seal and drive shaft to rear uni-joint. New front brake pads as well as new rear brake pistons and shoes. New clutch/engine main seal. New starter and starting solenoid. New cap/rotor/vacuum advance and plug/plug wires. New water pump/thermostat as well as all new belts and hoses. Rebuilt over sized radiator was put in about two years ago. Rebuilt 4 barrel edelbrock carburetor with new choke pipe connector assembly. New vacuum hoses as well as new fuel pump/filter/hoses. The new brake master cylinder as well as a new intake gasket for the aluminum intake manifold. Has over sized Mickey Thompson valve covers and a Magnaflow exhaust system that was installed about 2 years ago. Has power brakes but no power steering. The truck does have the original and fully functional, in-cab/external factory mounted a/c unit but needs a full recharge.....used it last about a year ago and the freon was done then and have not used it since. The heater core is toast and will need to be replaced but is bypassed for now (about a $30 part) but will take some time if you do it yourself. Oil pan gasket should be replaced and has some oil leaks from around the seal. Horn is missing/non functional (easy fix). Some jackass broke off the antenna a few months back so that will need to be replaced. Cd/Cb both work, however the cd player needs to be rewired. All the trim is still on the vehicle as well as the original ford hub caps. There is a rear tow hitch with hook-ups as well as a front mounted tow hitch for backing in trailers/boats. Spare tire is present as well as original bottle jack. Body is in great shape and has only some patches of surface rust..."NO BODY CANCER". No prior wrecks or body damage and all the windows are original. This truck has been in California its whole life and has been a fantastic truck to own. Would hope that it goes to a good home and if it happens to stay in California it is a "smog exempt" vehicle and the registration was just payed (June). Also will include a full set of original ford truck shop manuals as well as a stack of original dealership '75 ford truck brochure/leaflets....some cool history. If you decide to purchase the vehicle, you will have to arrange for your own mode of transportation. I am close to Sacramento, so I am sure there are plenty of shippers to work with in the area and I am more than willing to drive it to a local shipper if need be. You are more than welcome to pick up this truck locally as well if you would prefer. The truck is fully capable of cruising away and all the lights work for the evening cruiser. I would prefer a bank to bank wire transfer or a certified bank check for payment upon sale for any long distance buyers....paypal may be possible for 4% additional fee. If you are picking up locally, I am more than happy to take good old cash for the sale of the vehicle. Title is in hand and feel free to ask any questions. If you feel my price is a little high for your budget, do not hesitate to make me a offer....reasonable ones please. Thanks for looking!

Junkyard Gem: 1991 Mercury Capri
Mon, Sep 19 2016Ford has gotten a lot of use out of the Capri name in the United States. First, there was the Lincoln Capri in the 1950s, followed by the Ford Capri Mk1 (which was sold by Mercury dealers in the USA but never actually badged as a Mercury). Then came the 1979-1986 Mercury Capri, built on the very successful Fox Platform and essentially a clone of the Mustang. Finally, in 1991, the Australian Ford Capri came to the United States. Here is an example of this rare car that I spotted in a Northern California self-service yard not long ago. Mechanically speaking, the 1991-1994 Capri was a Mazda 323 under the skin, complete with a member of the same B-series engine family that went into such cars as the Miata and Ford Escort. So, for a few years in the early 1990s, car shoppers who wanted a sporty Mazda convertible could choose between a Miata and a Capri. The Capri had front-wheel-drive, but could be had with factory turbocharging. These cars were reliable and fun, but had a tough time competing with the Miata in the showroom battles. You'll see the occasional example now and then, but most of the 1991-1994 Capris have met the same fate that awaits this one. Related Video:

Fri, 12 Apr 2013Devils, Details and Weight Reduction
There are many things I could call this exercise. A party is not one of them.
I've spent three days crammed in the axle well of this 1989 Mustang with nothing to keep me company beyond a trouble light, a DeWalt drill on the very last of its legs and billion razor sharp, red hot slivers of metal with an affinity for my most sensitive of regions. My joints are raw from crawling around on the concrete. I'm half deaf from the shriek of the spot weld cutter and the boom of the cold chisel and hammer.
Are you a new Ford Mustang SVO? [w/video]
Fri, 16 May 2014When Ford announced that its 2015 Mustang would arrive with a 2.3-liter EcoBoost four-cylinder engine, three letters came to mind: SVO. While Ford hasn't said a word regarding the rebirth of a Mustang SVO model, this latest set of spy shots shows us something very, very interesting. Allow us to explain.
The Mustang prototype in these photos looks very similar to the GT500 test cars we've spotted before - same bulging hood, aggressive front fascia and air vents aft of the front wheels. What's different, however, is around back. Have a look at the exhaust, and note that instead of the GT500's usual quad pipes, two of the exhaust outlets have been capped off.
Our spies point out that these exhaust outlets could be closed for some sort of emissions testing or another engineering reason, but it's also important to note that the engine and exhaust notes of this car sound completely different from earlier GT500 prototypes. We've got a video below that compares the two.
