For your enjoyment: One 1976 Ford F – 150 Ranger. Very reasonable reserve on this hand some half-ton.  This one owner estate sale truck has to be seen to be believed. It is an absolute time capsule. Although it is 37 years old. It is virtually showroom fresh by todays standards. It is unrestored. All original two tone paint jade green, chrome yellow all original interior, all original running gear. If you have been looking for an unmolested original truck, look no further. This is a 78k original and documented mileage truck. No, it's not  159K makeover truck!  I have service and maintenance records since 1979. It still had the polyglass belted tires on it when I purchased it. It now has brand-new radials on it. The truck also had the 70s vintage Winnebago canopy on it that was likely installed when the truck was new. I don't think there has ever been any water exposure to the bed. The truck has always been stored indoors is whole life. It has absolutely no cancer in it anywhere! That's right, none! This isn't a vehicle that looks good in pictures then you get suckered punched upon delivery. This truck shows better in person than in picts. No smoke in mirrors,no hype, no Disappointments. Check out the pics of the bottom of the doors and the rust free metal and original paint on those pinch welds at the bottom of the Corners. This is one solid truck. There has been no modifications to the truck that I can see. It still has the original Trico wiper arms and Westinghouse headlights as delivered from the factory. Check out the pics of the bottom of the doors and the rust free metal and Original paint on those pinch welds at the bottom of the cab corners. This is one solid truck. There has been no modifications to the truck that I can see.  The dealer install A/C blows ice cold! The 390 engine is smooth and quiet. It purrs like a newborn kitten at idle and roars like a lion when you open the blades of the factory 4bl Holley carburetor. No obnxious exhaust leaks that these trucks are known for no pings, rattles, Knoks, squeaks or other idiosyncrasies. The C-6 transmission shifts crisply on demand. The weatherstripping around the class is soft and pliable. No wind noise and no water leaks!  All of the lights work including the overlook back up lights and license plate lamp. The aluminum trim on this truck is amazingly shiny throughout. The front chrome bumper looks like it just came from the chrome shop. Check out the tailgate nameplate, it looks brand-new! The vinyl bench seat is perfect save for one teency weency cut on the top of the seat. The dash pad is flawless and the carpet is in perfect thanks to that throwback one piece floormat that's been in there since the Carter administration! You need some tunes for cruising, no problem stock a.m. radio is loud and clear. No silly aftermarket CD players in this vintage holler. No mismatched exterior mirrors no hodgepodge brush cards and no over accessorized jc Whitney parts, Just 100% clean and stock Henry Ford!  As mentioned earlier I have owner maintain records of the mileage on this truck as he kept handwritten notes of his trips, on what I presume we're fishing hunting expeditions. One of the receipts for a new muffler was from 1988. The mileage documented at that time was 55K that means this truck has been driven less than 7K Miles in 24 years! The muffler still looks new to this day. Since taking ownership of this truck and because it was sitting for quite a while I have done the following: Replaced both fuel tanks and fuel lines. All new tune up parts radiator hoses water pump, New AC compressor and lines. ASE certified tech, so rest assured items were attended to properly. I had the windows tinted with a 3M Crystalline tint that does not darken but reflects all UV and 70% of heat.  $492.oo for that! The truck is equipped with factory dual tanks power steering power disc brakes push button a.m. radio. Owner installed trailer hitch. All lights and guages work properly. As I mentioned the truck is cancer free. It has a few minor scratches here and there but overall This truck is a 9 on a 10 scale. Thank you for looking.

Ford recalls 300,000 Crown Vics over lighting module

Wed, Dec 23 2015

The Basics: Ford is recalling 312,814 units of the Crown Victoria and Mercury Grand Marquis sedans from the 2003-2005 model years. They were built at the St. Thomas Assembly Plant between Oct. 3, 2001, and Aug. 2, 2005. Ford says 296,004 of those units are located in the United States, with another 14,714 in Canada and 2,096 in Mexico. The Problem: The solder joints on the lighting control module could crack, depriving the headlamps of the power they need to light the way ahead. That could increase the risk of a crash, particularly at night and in other low-visibility situations. Injuries/Deaths: Ford reports that it is aware of 11 accidents that resulted from the problem, leading to one injury described as "minor." The Fix: The manufacturer is instructing dealers to replace the entire lighting control module. If You Own One: Make sure your headlights are working before getting under way. If they're not, avoid driving under low-light conditions, including at night, in heavy precipitation, or in fog.

Lexus gets top brand marks from Consumer Reports; Ford, Jeep hit hard

Tue, 25 Feb 2014

Consumer Reports has released its 2014 Car Brand Report Cards, with Lexus again reigning at the top and doing so with the same industry-topping score of 79 that it registered in last year's Report Cards. This year, the institute credited its lineup for being "usually quiet, comfortable, and fuel-efficient," noting it's the only brand on the list "to achieve an excellent average overall reliability score." The Car Brand Report Cars list is meant to rank the best all-around vehicles based on CR testing and reliability results tallied by subscribers it surveyed. Each brand included must have sufficient test and reliability data for at least three models, a standard which left out 11 marques including Fiat, Jaguar, Land Rover and Porsche.
This 2014 Brand Report Cars edition is the first of a new format in which sub-brands have been broken out from their parent brands, with Acura using this year to move up the leaderboard into second place with a score of 75 for its "reliable, well-finished and somewhat sporty models." The top three was rounded out by Audi, climbing from eighth to third by scoring a 74 for "well-crafted interiors, nice handling and good gas mileage." Audi scored highest in the road-test portion, its improved reliability aiding its rise. The top nine was completed by Subaru, Toyota, Mazda, Honda, Infiniti and Mercedes-Benz.
Ford and Jeep weighed in at the other end of the rankings, Jeep taking the lowest overall score in the road tests and hampered by "a mix of spotty reliability." Ford was sunk by reliability issues with its MyFord Touch infotainment system which consumers found troublesome enough to negate its cars earning "solid test scores" for being "very nice to drive." Perhaps the rumored switch from Microsoft to Blackberry's QNX for the next generation SYNC will help them out. Cadillac's score also took a hit for infotainment reasons after it was the leading US brand last year, the CUE system in the XTS dragging Cadillac to the bottom of all General Motors brands.
