GEORGIA PEACH!!!!!

SOLID SOUTHERN V-8 SHORT BED TRUCK….PERFECT TO MAKE A STREET ROD/CRUISER!!!!

 

1979 FORD F-100 RANGER XLT

SHORT BED

 

Truck sold new in Alma, Georgia at Benton Brothers Ford.  Truck still has the dealer heavy duty rear bumper on it.  Comes with original owners manual and warranty plate (see photo).  Truck was built in the month of February of 1979 at the Norfolk, Virginia Plant. 

 

Truck is sold with a Georgia registration and matching bill of sale.

 

Original 1979 Ford F100 Ranger XLT in good condition. Truck has 120,440 miles on original 302 2bbl v-8 and automatic transmission. Engine runs good, and transmission shifts well.  Dual exhausts still sound good!

 

Body is in great shape - body panels are straight and fit well, minor surface rust where side molding was attached. Bed is solid with minor surface rust (tailgate has several dents on top edge).  Seat cover is torn on driver’s side, carpet shows its age in places. Visors and Headliner are in good shape.  All glass is in good shape.

 

Truck was purchased for a father and son project….outside trim was removed and door panels (cracked a little, but wood panels very nice) taken off (they wanted to make a smooth, lowered cruiser).  That was all that had been done; truck has sat for 2 years since…driven maybe twice a month.

Dash pad has cracks in it.

 

Gas gauge still works well.  All headlights and blinkers work well.  Both hood hinges need to be replaced (warped/broke…typical for these when they are not oiled)

 

Truck was built at Norfolk, Virginia and factory color is Medium Vaquero Metallic.

 

This 1979 Ford Truck has numbers matching motor (302 V-8) and 3 speed automatic transmission.  The truck came with power steering and power brakes (brakes pedal soft).   It also came with A/C (does not work).  The undercarriage is in good shape, minor surface rust only.

 

This truck is an excellent candidate for a customized truck that needs little body work (rust of roof edges is the worst thing) and some minor mechanical work.

 

Please ask any questions for more information and if needed, more pictures.  This is a 35 year old truck that has never been restored.  It has very solid original sheet metal.  The paint has faded a good bit, but the truck is very straight and has great gaps (it probably has had 1 repaint).

How the 2015 Ford Mustang will save your knees

Sat, 21 Jun 2014

The 2015 Mustang is one of the most hotly anticipated vehicles of the moment, and Ford continues to leak out interesting little details about its newest pony car. The latest info doesn't have anything to do with its quarter-mile time or handling, but if any of that goes drastically wrong, the innovative new glovebox-mounted airbag may prevent passengers from knee injuries.
All variants of the 2015 Mustang get the active knee airbag as standard, and it's the first vehicle in Ford's lineup to receive the system. The setup is actually quite simple and ingenious. The glovebox is made from a plastic outer panel that is attached to the inner door. Sandwiched between them is this new injection-molded plastic bladder that folds flat when in use. If the passenger-side airbag deploys, the system springs into action to act as a cushion for your knees. Compared to a traditional knee airbag that has to fully inflate, this arrangement is 65 percent lighter and can use a 75 percent smaller inflator. It's also basically invisible when you look at the glovebox door.
Ford spokesperson Ed Saenz declined to tell Autoblog whether the system will appear in other vehicles in the Blue Oval's lineup but said, "We're considering other applications." Provided it's effective, the approach seems too simple not to make its way to other products. Scroll down to watch a video showing how the glovebox-mounted knee airbag works.

Petersen Museum celebrates 50 years of Ford Mustang with special exhibit

Mon, May 5 2014

If you're a pony-car enthusiast, this is your year. Not only has Ford introduced an all-new Mustang, but it's also the 50th anniversary of the original. Celebrations and commemorations have been scheduled throughout the year, and not the least of them is the latest exhibit at the Petersen Automotive Museum in Los Angeles. Called "Mustangs Forever: 50 Years of a Legend", the exhibit includes Mustangs from every generation of the iconic pony car, including the 1965 convertible Ronald Reagan drove during his California gubernatorial campaign, a 1971 Mach 1 Cobra Jet, a 1974 Mustang II, 1993 SVT Cobra, 2000 Cobra R and a 2006 Shelby GT-H. Special sections focus on motorsports, aftermarket modifiers and limited-edition models. The display opened on Sunday with the Mustang Madness spectacular and will run for the next six months, but if you're not heading to Southern California within the coming half-year then you can scope out all the action in our live gallery of photos above.
