Up for auction is a rare 1983 Ford Ranger with the factory 2.2L diesel (Perkins) engine and four-speed manual transmission. This is a 2WD model. The truck runs and drives, has not been on the road for a few years.
If you enjoy working on cars and appreciate the chance to own an inexpensive compact pickup which offers 32-40mpg, this might be for you. While it runs, drives and stops, it should be considered a project truck. Therefore, don't plan on driving it home.
I had seen this truck around town occasionally for many years and jumped at the first opportunity to purchase it. Later learned that the original owner used to drive it to Florida for the winters. The next owner quit driving it daily when the flywheel ring gear started to fail. It still starts (and runs very well) but the flywheel needs to be replaced for greater reliability. After months of searching, I located and purchased an entire Ranger Diesel package, consisting of replacement flywheel, transmission, starter, clutch kit, spare manifold and more.
One year later, I located a set of factory Ford aluminum rims (from a Georgia truck) and installed those. Another year later, I located a very nice matching aftermarket fiberglass cap (in Cleveland) and made that trip. During last summer, I purchased a sliding rear window assembly and replaced both batteries. If you are interested in continuing with the restoration concept, I have leads within a 50-mile radius, for more Ranger parts. The plan was to begin driving the truck this spring and continue performing upgrades / restoration as time allows. Or you could always use the drivetrain to perform a diesel-retrofit on a classic car.
Due to time constraints, I have decided to sell the truck, before it sits for another year.
What the truck needs: a new windshield, the flywheel needs to be replaced, the truck needs a lot of body rust repair, the doors require extra effort to close, needs new parking brake cables, A/C system needs repair (if you like air conditioning), could use a radio and it can use general maintenance such as fresh oil, belts, hoses, etc. before it sees any extended road-use. The fiberglass cap includes the C-clamps for mounting, but is not currently bolted down. Nice cap, it includes window screens, a third-brake light and rear door lock. The steering column works well, although the ignition tumbler does not appear to require a key to use.
Highlights: The truck starts easily in all temperatures, once the starter makes contact with the flywheel. The gauges all work correctly. The horn, heater, wipers and lights also work. The hard-to-find, rare diesel-only parts above, are included with this auction. This Ranger Diesel auction also includes a set of winter wheels with matching studded snow tires. This can be a very neat project, or maybe just an inexpensive utility vehicle for someone.
In addition to offering incredible fuel efficiency and reliability from the diesel engine, the vehicle's age is approaching classic status. That can mean inexpensive insurance, depending on how you plan to register it. As a factory diesel, it is also emissions-exempt for life, in many parts of the country. Be sure to check your local inspection laws regarding emission testing.
Terms of the auction are as follows: US sale, in person, only. $250 deposit is due within 24 hours of auction close, payable in US cash, Postal Service money order, or Paypal. The balance is due within five days after auction close, or at time of vehicle pickup (whichever is first) payable only in US cash or Postal Service money order. Assuming that full payment has been received per the above terms, I am willing to hold the truck up to 30 days after the auction close, in case you need time to arrange for transportation. Happy Bidding!

Cadillac Escalade gets $5,000 discount to ward off Lincoln Navigator
Wed, Nov 8 2017General Motors apparently isn't going to let early good reception for the redesigned Lincoln Navigator steal thunder from its own luxury SUV without a fight. It's offering a $5,000 discount on the purchase or lease of the Cadillac Escalade this month to any buyer who trades in a 1999 or newer Lincoln model, Bloomberg reports. GM spokesman Jim Cain told Bloomberg the incentive is being offered to keep prices competitive for the Escalade. The 2018 Navigator starts at $72,055, compared to $73,995 for the Escalade, but the outgoing version of the Navigator is selling for an average of around $53,000, compared with more than $80,000 on average for the Escalade, he said. The Escalade was the top-selling domestic luxury SUV in October and No. 4 in the segment, according to Motor Intelligence. It far outsold the Navigator, which last saw a refresh in 2015 and a full redesign in 2007. But Ford is hoping to gain back some ground with the new Navigator and updated Expedition, which also trails the Chevrolet Tahoe and Chevy Suburban in its segment. Bloomberg notes that one Morgan Stanley analyst estimates that GM owns a $2 billion annual pretax profit edge in the lucrative luxury sport utility segment. Our recent First Drive review called the new Navigator "far superior to its primary competitor, the Cadillac Escalade."Related Video:
Ford F-35 Lightning II Edition Mustang appears at EAA Oshkosh
Sat, 26 Jul 2014Ford is back at the Experimental Aircraft Association AirVenture air show in Oshkosh, WI, on July 31 auctioning off its seventh Mustang for charity, and this is one seriously mean looking 2015 'Stang. All of the money from the sale goes to give free introductory flights to young people to get them interested in aviation.
We recently saw this latest EAA Mustang as a sketch. However, it looks a whole lot more menacing in person. Dubbed the Ford F-35 Lightning II Edition Mustang, it takes liberal inspiration from Lockheed Martin's latest fighter jet, and the customization makes the pony car look ready for a role in Top Gun.
On the outside, the special Mustang wears titanium-color paint that's offset by a black and yellow stripe running from hood to rear. Out back things get really wild with a mix of bright yellow and black that flows diagonally all the way to the rear spoiler. The design is based on the livery of early production F-35s. If the rousing color scheme isn't enough to get you interested, the car also gets a carbon fiber front splitter and rear diffuser, lowered suspension and a set of custom 21-inch wheels with yellow brake calipers.
Ford recalls 2017 Lincoln Continental for headlight problem
Tue, Oct 11 2016Ford Motor Co. is already recalling the 2017 Lincoln Continental for a headlight problem, the automaker announced Tuesday. The HID headlights may have been assembled with LED lens that don't have the correct lens optics to meet federal visibility requirements for turn signals. Ford says it is unaware of any accidents related to the issue. The company will replace the headlamp assemblies, if needed. The safety compliance recall covers 1,876 Continentals built from June 14 to Sept. 23 at Ford's Flat Rock factory south of Detroit. Most of the cars are in the United States; 49 are in Canada, and one is in a federalized territory. Only about 300 cars are in consumers' hands, a spokesperson said. Customers can use a Lincoln service program where dealers will pick up their Continental, fix it for free, and return it, the spokesperson said. Lincoln has high hopes for the Continental. The flagship sedan uses one of Lincoln's most iconic names and features a luxurious interior, available 400-horsepower V6 engine, and safety features like adaptive cruise control and a 360-degree camera. Lincoln recently announced an elaborate marketing campaign shot by renown photographer Annie Leibovitz to generate interest in the Continental. In a separate recall, Ford also said Tuesday that 60 Edges from the 2015-16 model year are being recalled to update their antilock braking system module.
