Up for sale is my own personal daily driver hot rod pickup.  This is a 1990 Ford Ranger that is in remarkable condition.  The story goes that the man I bought it from was the original owner, and was an aircraft engineer of some type.  His daughter wrecked her 1992 5.0 Mustang, and he ended up putting the drive train from the mustang in the Ranger.  This is NO HACK JOB.  It looks like it was installed from Ford, it just seems like it should have been that way all along.  Everything works- the AC, the cruise control, indicator lights, gauges measure correctly, everything.  This man simply knew what he was doing and made it work.  He drove the truck for a while, and decided that he liked it so well that in 1997 he bought a crate 5.0 from Ford, removed the 1992 motor and installed the crate engine.  The AOD (Automatic Overdrive transmission) was rebuilt at this time.  The odometer was reset to zero. It's had nothing but Mobile 1 from the time of the install.  It now has a little over 103K on it, and it runs and drives perfectly.  This is a nice truck.  It looks great, gets lots of  attention, sounds terrific (headers and flowmasters) and is a total blast to drive.  It's plenty quick, the suspension has been beefed up a bit so it handles the weight nicely.  It's just a great driving little rig. 

The interior is just flat as perfect as you'd ever find on a truck of this age.  It looks near perfect.  The paint is very nice, and shines well as you can see.  Under the hood is well laid out, no hacked up anything.  Wheels are off the Mustang, and are 16x8.  Tires are decent, but not new.  This truck is light, and this motor is strong, so it's quick.  It has a tow hitch as shown in the photos.  The brakes were just  recently rebuilt and the normal maintenance stuff has been done in the last couple of months.  I drive this truck all the time, its a lot of fun. 

The bed has a spray in bedliner, the truck has a nice wine tinted pinstripe with 5.0 badges from the Mustang.  Very classy, well laid out, professional, well built.  Totally reliable, no issues with the exception that the driver's door glass does not roll up and down as well as it should, and I just have not made the time to take the door apart to determine what's up with that.  It stays in the track, its just hard to roll up and down.

This is what a 3D-printed liquid metal Ford Torino looks like

Sat, 12 Oct 2013

Artist Ioan Florea has encapsulated a 1971 Ford Torino with 3-D-printed liquid metal transferred onto the car using technology that he developed, and the result is a stunningly shiny, seamless design.
"The surface has the highest coefficient of reflectivity never achieved before," Florea told us in an e-mail, using "nano-materials and nano-pigments that create an internal three-dimensional structure and dictate the polymer how to behave." Sure... We'll leave it to him to make any more 3-D-printed liquid metal-transferred art pieces.
Florea grew up in Romania, and the motivation behind picking the old Ford as his canvas came from his childhood memories of what an American car is - "big and wide and fascinating," he says - and the European name of the car itself, which it shares with an Italian city.

Which electric cars can charge at a Tesla Supercharger?

Sun, Jul 9 2023

The difference between Tesla charging and non-Tesla charging. Electrify America; Tesla Tesla's advantage has long been its charging technology and Supercharger network. Now, more and more automakers are switching to Tesla's charging tech. But there are a few things non-Tesla drivers need to know about charging at a Tesla station. A lot has hit the news cycle in recent months with regard to electric car drivers and where they can and can't plug in. The key factor in all of that? Whether automakers switched to Tesla's charging standard. More car companies are shifting to Tesla's charging tech in the hopes of boosting their customers' confidence in going electric.  Here's what it boils down to: If you currently drive a Tesla, you can keep charging at Tesla charging locations, which use the company's North American Charging Standard (NACS), which has long served it well. The chargers are thinner, more lightweight and easier to wrangle than other brands.  If you currently drive a non-Tesla EV, you have to charge at a non-Tesla charging station like that of Electrify America or EVgo — which use the Combined Charging System (CCS) — unless you stumble upon a Tesla charger already equipped with the Magic Dock adapter. For years, CCS tech dominated EVs from everyone but Tesla.  Starting next year, if you drive a non-Tesla EV (from the automakers that have announced they'll make the switch), you'll be able to charge at all Supercharger locations with an adapter. And by 2025, EVs from some automakers won't even need an adaptor.  Here's how to charge up, depending on which EV you have:  Ford 2021 Ford Mustang Mach-E. Tim Levin/Insider Ford was the earliest traditional automaker to team up with Tesla for its charging tech. Current Ford EV owners — those driving a Ford electric vehicle already fitted with a CCS port — will be able to use a Tesla-developed adapter to access Tesla Superchargers starting in the spring. That means that, if you own a Mustang Mach-E or Ford F-150 Lightning, you will need the adapter in order to use a Tesla station come 2024. But Ford will equip its future EVs with the NACS port starting in 2025 — eliminating the need for any adapter. Owners of new Ford EVs will be able to pull into a Supercharger station and juice up, no problem. General Motors Cadillac Lyriq. Cadillac GM will also allow its EV drivers to plug into Tesla stations.

Ford Q1 profits dragged down by warranty costs

Fri, 25 Apr 2014

General Motors isn't the only Detroit automaker posting falling profits in the first quarter. Ford just released its Q1 2014 financial data, and it reported a net income of $989 million, down $622 million from Q1 2013. The drop is partially blamed on higher warranty and recall expenses than the company had anticipated.
Financially, Ford suffered a rough quarter almost across the board. Its pre-tax profit of $1.4 billion was also down $765 million from a year ago. Things were even worse in the North American market where operating profit fell significantly to $1.5 billion, down from $2.392 billion in Q1 2013. However, its global revenue ticked up slightly to $35.9 billion, from $35.6 billion in this period in 2013.
Ford admitted that it spent about $900 million on expenses that it hadn't planned for during this quarter. According to Reuters, the company paid about $400 million in additional warranty and recall costs in North America. The automaker didn't explain why the costs were so much higher than expected. However, in the last three months, Ford has had several recalls, including on the 2001-2004 Escape for rust, Explorer for its steering, Edge for its fuel line and others.
