1972 Ford Ranger F-250 XLT Camper Special I purchased this truck in 2009 - since then I've put less than 1,500 miles on it - it has been stored in a heated and insulated garage and seen only fair weather. It is extremely rare to find an original vintage truck in this condition with such low mileage - a classic vehicle can be original only once - this one can be driven every day anywhere, any distance and do it without any issues - it is a beautifully presented survivor ready for the next collector to enjoy - I'm the 3rd owner - and only selling because life dictates that my toys must go due to fatherly responsibilities. The previous owner bought the truck from his high school girl-friend's father, he had always coveted the truck - it was used once a year to drive up into the mountains around Salt Lake City and camp, it had a camper installed in the bed for many years - it was used only for that purpose from 1972 until 1993 - in 21 years the truck had been driven approximately 31,000 miles. This is what the 2nd owner had to say about the truck when I purchased it:"This truck is very clean and un-restored. I purchased the truck form the original owner 5 years ago (2004) and at that time the truck had just over 31k miles on it and hadn’t been driven since 1993. When I purchased the truck the engine was stock, I installed the new cam, lifters, true-roller timing set, intake, 4-bbl, headers and new exhaust. The upgrades greatly improved the trucks performance and overall drivability. It has had the hood repainted (original paint faded) and has had the passenger door repaired. There are a few places that have had very minor paint touch up work, all done by the original owner."1972 F-250 - rear wheel drive45,680 milesRanger XLT - Camper SpecialSequoia Brown Metallic - Wimbledon WhiteGVW 8100390 V-8C-6 auto-transDana 60 4.10Production date: 7/72Wheel base: 131Color: MRModel: F253Body: U 4 Trans: GAxle: 24Max GVW: 8100Cert net: 163RPM: 3600DSO: 73The factory 390 has a Reactor cam that was designed to increase low-end torque and throttle response in low compression engines.Ford cast iron “S”-intakeHolley 600 CFMHedman HeddersMagnaflow muffler3” single exhaustDual batteriesTransmission coolerTruly one of a kind Surely the best un-restored 1972 Ford F-250 you’ll ever find.

All four original shocks were replaced in 2008. The truck has a unique non-factory spare tire lift system that was built by the original owner.

Ford wants smart cruise that's speed and grade sensitive

Thu, Jul 23 2015

Ford is working to make adaptive cruise control even smarter and more economical for future vehicles. The automaker now has a patent (pdf link) on a system to use information on the grade of the road, traffic data, and a driver's preferences to eke out better fuel mileage over a journey. This solution would essentially put a little hypermiling right into a model's software. The Blue Oval's patent refers to this tech as "route navigation with optimal speed profile," and the system starts by splitting the way to the driver's ultimate destination into many smaller pieces. Each one is analyzed based on GPS data, and traffic info is also constantly updated. Based on the occupants' preferred travel time, all this info is combined to figure out the most efficient speed for each leg of the journey. All of these calculations are actually more than the car's computers can handle, so some of the math is offloaded to a cloud-based network. According to Ford, some of the benefits come when tackling hills while diving. Maintaining a single speed when going up and down steep grades isn't the most efficient method, but current technology can't easily make the necessary adjustments. This system uses the GPS data to adapt the vehicle's speed and leave the situation with better fuel economy. Ford is currently making major investments into autonomous driving technology and has some prestigious partners. While the patent documents don't specifically mention the optimal speed profiles for driverless vehicles, they seem like a natural fit. Over the course of an entire trip, the fuel economy gains would likely be even greater than over a few miles on a relatively flat interstate.

Ford GT heading back to Le Mans [w/video]

Fri, Jun 12 2015

Ford is set to return to endurance sports car racing, and return in a big way. Announced this morning at Le Mans, the Blue Oval will be entering a version of the new Ford GT in endurance racing series on both sides of the Atlantic. The highly accomplished Chip Ganassi Racing with Felix Sabates team will field the Ford GT next season in the LM GTE Pro class in both the FIA World Endurance Championship and in the United SportsCar Championship, culminating in a four-car entry at next year's 24 Hours of Le Mans. That will mark the 50th anniversary of Ford's landmark victory at Le Mans in 1966. The pivotal, dominant one-two-three finish lead to a further three back-to-back wins with the legendary GT40 - the historic progenitor of the new GT revealed in Detroit earlier this year. Ford isn't saying much about the technical specs underpinning the new competition-spec GT developed with Multimatic, but it's expected to follow closely along the lines of the road-going supercar we've already seen. That includes the 3.5-liter EcoBoost V6 developed in conjunction with Roush Yates and which has already proven a winner in Daytona Prototypes. We also know that the crazy diffuser you see here will be part of 2016's regulations. Look for the new Ford GT racer to mark its debut in January in the Rolex 24 at Daytona.

Performance cars driving sales gains

Wed, Jun 3 2015

We're living in a fantastic time for performance cars. For drivers, there are a bevy of exciting models either already here or on the way that cater to different demographics within the niche, like the 2016 Mazda MX-5 Miata, Ford Shelby Mustang GT350 and Dodge's Hellcat-powered products. While trucks and crossovers still offer a booming market at the moment, sporty vehicles are another way for automakers to make some cash, too. According to Ford Performance director Dave Pericak speaking to Automotive News, "Performance vehicle sales around the world continue to grow – with sales up 70 percent in the United States and 14 percent in Europe since 2009." Automakers love this popularity because the sporty models create a perfect storm to make big money on each sale. One reason for the strong margins is that performance vehicles are generally based on existing models or platforms. That keeps development costs lower and allows for a focus on tech like turbocharging or light-weighting to subsidize investments for future products. When it comes time to arrive in the showroom, automakers can load them with equipment, according to Automotive News. With transaction prices already growing thanks to longer loans, buyers have been willing to pay more as of late, as well. The customers in the segment also tend to be younger and more affluent. For example, 30 percent of customers for Ford's ST models have a household income over $100,000 and Millennials buy them twice as much as other products from the brand, according to Automotive News. Despite popular myths, young people still like to drive, which could mean possible return customers. The performance trend certainly isn't on the wane yet. In fact, vehicles like the 2016 Chevrolet Camaro, Ford Focus RS and Fiat 124 Spider show more fun is on the way.
