1977 Ford F-100 Ranger "free Wheelin'" Ultra-rare on 2040-cars
Year:1977
Mileage:88244
Location:
Ankeny, Iowa, United States

I am selling an ultra-rare 1977 Ford F-100 Ranger that has the exclusive Free Wheelin' package. This vehicle has 88K (I was informed that it was the original miles, but the owner's daughter didn't have any of the documentation to verify this statement, although I believe it) miles. It also has the original factory paint and decals. The inside is amazing and is original as well. It is a 302 V8, automatic that runs good w/no blue smoke when it starts.
The vehicle is factory original except: The rear rims (I don't know why the original owner changed them, maybe because he thought it looked sportier???), break pads, tune-up parts (cap, rotor, wires). I put in a new gas tank, sending unit, fuel pump, fuel filter and blew out the fuel lines because the vehicle sat in a garage for a long time not being driven. I also tuned it up, changed the oil and flushed the radiator. The original owner has passed, but his son-in-law put in a new battery. The Ford was a garage find and I am the second owner. I would say it is rust free, but some sticklers would find surface rust on the underbody. I can assure all buyers that it is 99% rust free with no real rust spots, holes or filler/bondo. It is very, very clean. The engine department is pretty clean, not showroom, but pretty darn clean (see pictures). The body on the vehicle is not perfect, but it is in really good shape for the age of the vehicle. There are some small scratches that could probably be buffed out and a few that probably can not be be buffed out. There are a few very small dents, but you would have to look pretty hard to find them. It has the factory push-bar and fog lights (that work). It also has a factory bug guard and mud flaps. The windows roll down easily and the back window opens and closes too. The pickup used to have a factory topper, but the deceased original owner's son in law informed me that it leaked. There is still some adhesive where the topper connected, but it left the bed in amazing condition. No rust in bed or in the tailgate. The AM/FM radio works as well. The interior is in absolutely amazing condition for its age. It is all original and has no cracks in the dash, no ripped seat or torn carpet. The only thing that detracts from it is that a grandchild must have put a "my name is" sticker on the glove box. I believe it would come off pretty easy with some "Goo-Gone". Please view all the pictures and the video. I can send more pics or videos upon request. I wanted to show everything to verify that I believe this vehicle is truly an 88K gem that was garaged and babied. I apologize for the quality of the video. It is in high definition, but I am no cinematographer. The video is shaky, I didn't know whether to get close or stay back, there is annoying outside air, etc. I tried and I can do it again for serious buyers who have specific requests. This vehicle turns heads everywhere it goes. You do not see anything like this on the road and you will have an impossible task of trying to find one as nice as this online ever again. I believe they only made the Free Wheelin' Ford option in 1977 and 1978. I have researched it and have added a few pictures from brochures and online. This vehicle is sold AS IS and I always suggest that a potential buyer have it inspected. It is only $80 to $100 dollars to do so. This vehicle is absolutely awesome and I hate to see it go. I am selling it because it doesn't fit in my garage and something this nice needs to be garaged (I have included pictures of it not fitting in my garage at the end of the photos). 1972 and earlier trucks have been the craze, but I can assure you that the new trend is 73-79. Trucks that are 73-79 have been going for $10K and much more at the Mecum's auctions (you can research this on the Mecum website). Something this rare will be an investment. I wanted to see what my 1975 Chevy Blazer would go for at Mecum's Auction Des Moines two years ago. I was offered $19.5K for it. I am a private seller that only searches out unique cars. I sell about 2 a year and you can review my positive eBay feedback. Please do not bid on this item unless you want to buy it. I am hard working guy and I would appreciate not having to list it again. It is for sale in Iowa locally and I reserve the right to end the auction early if I get the right price. Shipping will be the buyer's responsibility and the vehicle will have to be picked up in Des Moines. I am willing to take it to a shipping hub in Des Moines or meeting you in town if you are driving it back. If you are shipping it I usually use Dependable Auto-shippers because they can guarantee 2-week delivery upon request. Brokers can take up to a month if you use them (and it will be sitting outside unfortunately). This vehicle has a clean/clear title in my name. I will only accept PayPal or a confirmed money transfer into my account. No other methods are acceptable, so please do not ask if I will take a check or money order. Please email me or call me if you have any specific questions. Sorry for the book, but I wanted to be as detail oriented as possible. Ask me about the video |

2015 Ford Mustang revs it up at Cars & Coffee
Mon, 09 Dec 2013Just because the new 2015 Ford Mustang has officially been released, you didn't think that would be the end of the matter - did you? Of course not. There'll still be plenty of rumors, reports and video footage to bring you. Like this, the first non-official footage of the new pony car in the wild.
Shot by YouTube user SotA1080 and dug up by our friends at CarBuzz, this clip shows the new Mustang posing for photos (alongside other Mustangs) and starting up its engine at the most recent gathering of Cars & Coffee in Irvine, CA. And this being the GT model, it's not packing the V6 or the turbo four, but the red-blooded 5.0-liter V8 that tells us and enthusiasts worldwide that the new Mustang has not lost its way. Scroll on down to watch the footage for yourself.
Rolling footage of the 2015 Ford Mustang hits YouTube [w/video]
Thu, 26 Dec 2013Just in time for the holidays: Ford took the 2015 Mustang to Route 66 to cook up rolling footage, and we've been given some of the leftovers ahead of the meal. There are no burnouts, no donuts, no revving, and thankfully, no music. It's just two minutes and 26 seconds of the new pony car running free in the desert.
So in case you needed more visualizing help, the video below will help you start imagining how you'll look in your 2014 Christmas present to yourself...
Merecedes-Benz EQS, Ford Mustang Mach-E GT and Subaru Forester Wilderness | Autoblog Podcast #702
Fri, Oct 29 2021In this episode of the Autoblog Podcast, Editor-in-Chief Greg Migliore is joined by Senior Editor James Riswick. They've been driving some exciting new EVs, like the Ford Mustang Mach-E GT and the Mercedes-Benz EQS. They also discuss driving the new Subaru Forester Wilderness, as well as the perfectly agreeable Toyota Camry XSE Hybrid. James compares four big-name off-roaders — the Ford Bronco, Jeep Wrangler, Toyota 4Runner and Land Rover Defender — based on their ability to accommodate a big load of luggage. Next they reach into the mailbag for comments on the Genesis GV70, as well as a Spend My Money question about replacing a wrecked Subaru Ascent with another three-row SUV.
