1976 Ford Ranger Xlt Camper Special - 1979 1978 1977 & Wilderness Camper on 2040-cars
|
What you have here for bid is an original unmolested two owner truck with 52K original miles. I purchased this truck in June of 2012 with 49,900 miles from the original owner. He bought the truck new from a dealer in Portland Oregon and drove the truck each summer to camp in Eastern Washington. When not in use I am told truck was always under cover and out of the weather. Truck is not show room condition and is not perfect. Some small dings and scratches here and there and a small dent behind the tool box. I have included a picture of the original build sheet on the truck. The three speed transmission shifts very nice and gearing is appropriate. Truck is very quiet which you would expect from the special factory exhaust. Also has factory camper tie downs and slide out rear bumper that come with the camper special package. Options include Power Steering, Power Brakes and optional delay wipers. Truck comes with the very nice original tailgate. I have included pictures of the interior which is all original and one of the cleanest I have seen. The original carpet is serviceable but will probably need to be changed at some point down the road. Give me a call or send me an email with any questions (360) 643-0400. I have tried to accurately describe this truck as best I can. Please let me know if you want additional pictures of anything in particular. I would encourage any serious bidder to come inspect prior to purchase but am confident you won't be disappointed.
****Also included in this auction is the 1976 Wilderness 10' camper you can see in some of the pictures. The camper was purchased new by the original owner and has always been with the truck. I have had the camper completely and professionally serviced, the roof completely resealed (to my knowledge it has never leaked) and new roof vents as required during the reseal. This is a very nice useable camper. The only drawback is the dated material on the cushions which can easily be changed if desired. Otherwise it works as it should and is equipped with a oven, cook top, sink, heater, refrigerator, and a bathroom. You can e-mail or call me for details. Thank You! |

Ford tumbles to second worst in Consumer Reports reliability survey, list dominated by Japanese [w/video]
Mon, 29 Oct 2012It's no secret that MyFord Touch has had its share of problems since being introduced, but the most recent reliability survey from Consumer Reports shows just how much this infotainment system has affected Ford. Just two years ago, the automaker was in the top 10 for the institute's reliability rankings, but since then, it has tumbled to the second-lowest rung just above dead-last Jaguar. In addition to MyFord Touch, CR also attributes a handful of new products that have had issues right out of the gate.
Compiled from 1.2 million subscriber surveys, this year's auto reliability survey heavily favors Japanese automakers, with eight of the 10 spots hailing from Japan. Toyota brands grabbed the top three spots (Scion, Toyota and Lexus - in that order) with Mazda, Subaru, Honda and Acura filling the next four spots. The only non-Asian automaker cracking the top 10 was Audi at number eight.
Audi climbed a total of 18 spots from last year, and Cadillac and GMC round out this year's top gainers breaking into the top 15. Helping Cadillac's upward movement, the CTS Coupe was named the most reliable domestic car. Lincoln, Volvo and Chrysler join Ford on this year's biggest loser list.

Enterprise customer billed $47k for Mustang stolen from rental lot
Sun, 05 Jan 2014A weekend rental of a Ford Mustang GT Convertible sounds like a nice, relaxing way to burn some gas, but one Nova Scotia woman's two-day rental is turning into a months-long headache. In early October, Kristen Cockerill picked up the Mustang from Enterprise Rent-A-Car, and she returned it the following day as stipulated by the rental contract. Unfortunately, she dropped the car off on a Sunday - a day on which the particular Enterprise office is closed - and the car ended up being stolen overnight.
Now, two months later, CBC reports that Cockerill received a bill from Enterprise for the full replacement of the car totaling $47,271 (a base 2014 Mustang GT Convertible currently costs $40,349 in Canada). As it turns out, the fine print in the contract says that the renter is responsible for cars dropped off after hours until it can be inspected the next business day - this is also reflected on the key drop seen in the news report video, which states "vehicles returned after hours are the responsibility of the renter until inspected on the next business day."
It's not clear how much, if any, of that amount Cockerhill will be responsible for once her insurance company gets involved, but if the insurance company refuses to pay, Enterprise will bill the amount to the credit card she provided during her rental. While this ordeal is far over for Cockerhill, it's a good reminder for the rest of us to always read the fine print.
