A beautiful 1989 Ford Ranger XLT 4X4. Air Condition, Automatic with overdrive, 2.9 EFI engine, Pioneer receiver with CD, Carver amp, Morrel speakers with separate tweeters. Most of these little Rangers, especially the 4X4s, were ridden hard and put away wet. So it is near impossible to find one in good condition. This is one that has been exceptionally well cared for . It has spent its entire life in the Ft. Myers area being purchased new by a local fireman in Pt. Charolette. In 1992, with 34,000 miles on it, it was purchased by a good friend of mine, John, and after 20 years of owing it and 20 years of being married he decided to restore it so he and his wife could enjoy it another 20 years.. Now John is one of those guys that everything has to clean and neat. He owns an air conditioning business, and when you open his van, everything is in place, nice, neat, clean. You can see this kind of mentality in the restoration of the Ranger. Its like who does that to an 89 Ranger??? Just one example, instead of the ugly original fiber hood liner, John found one that is the same as used as firewall liner on aircraft,??? who does that??? You can see how nice it looks in engine bay pic. He pulled the engine out and sent it to Hoods Machine Shop, to have it completely machined and re built. The transmission was rebuilt at Kustom Transmission. New ceramic coated exhaust installed by Midas Muffler. The seat was sent to Wade Cuff where it was covered completely in Leather. The interior also has new carpet, headliner, and dash cover. The door panels are original as well all dash components, and as you can tell are like new, including the gauges, bezel, and the woodgrain trim. The truck was then given a beautiful paint using Dupont Chromabase Ford Blue Flame Effect and Ford and Ford Silver Ingot Effect, if you look at the close up pics. you can see the beauty and quality of the paint. The bumpers are original and look great , the wheels are also original and were cleaned and detailed, the tires are-- Michelin LTX--, you can see he spared no expense. The front grill is new as are the lights, the original tailgate panel was powder coated as it had become dull. Well now John had a beautiful like new Ranger again. Along with some of the receipts we have, we estimate he spent well over $11,000. on the restoration. Only problem he was transferred to New York and was not able to bring the truck with him so he sold it. I now have the truck, and recently took it on a round trip from Ft Myers to West Palm Beach. Every thing works and runs great, the engine runs perfectly with plenty of power, the truck rides and handles perfectly, A.C ran cold, the pioneer stereo sound great. The wipers and new seals worked perfectly as it poured down rain on the way back. Four wheel drive engages, automatically, and works as it should. The only thing I know of not working at this time is water temp guage, and I will fix this, as it probably is the sending unit. The entire restoration was completed late last year and has been driven less than 500 miles. Truck is sold as-is. You can call me at 239-340-0443. We have set a very conservative reserve, so don't miss the opportunity to own this beautiful truck!!.

Forza Horizon 3 car list keeps on truckin'

Tue, Aug 9 2016

We've covered three weeks of car reveals for Forza Horizon 3, and this time we get a better look at the trucks, SUVs and other off-roaders you'll be able to use to explore Australia. This week's list kicks things off with two of the most legendary off-roaders in the world, the Toyota FJ40 Land Cruiser and the Meyers Manx. They have different purposes; the FJ40 is for tough trail work and the Manx is for some light-hearted beach fun. But no one could deny the cultural importance of either. And both should be a blast in Horizon 3. In addition to this pair of classics, players will have a chance to get behind the wheel of both a race version of the Ford F-150 Raptor and its closest rival, the Ram Runner. And when traditional vehicles start to get boring, why not take out a full-blown Baja racer such as the Penhall Cholla or the Rockstar energy drink version of the little Polaris RZR XP 1000 side-by-side? Forza Horizon 3 is shaping up to have one of the most diverse car lists in a racing game in a long time. There are still cars left to be revealed, so stay tuned for further installments and see this week's full list below. 1957 Chevrolet Bel Air 2002 Ferrari 575M Maranello 1992 Ford Escort RS Cosworth 2013 Ford Focus ST 1973 Ford Escort RS1600 1971 Ford Falcon XY GTHO Phase III 2014 Ford Fiesta ST 2017 Ford F-150 Raptor Race Truck 1954 Jaguar XK120 SE 2014 Jeep Grand Cherokee SRT 2012 Lamborghini Aventador LP700-4 1986 Lancia Delta S4 2009 Lexus IS F 1957 Maserati 300 S 1994 Mazda MX-5 Miata 1967 Mercedes-Benz 280 SL 2009 Mercedes-Benz SL 65 AMG Black Series 1971 Meyers Manx 2012 Mini John Cooper Works GP 1998 Nissan R390 1979 Opel Kadett C GT/E 2011 Penhall The Cholla 1971 Plymouth Cuda 426 Hemi 2015 Polaris RZR XP 1000 EPS Rockstar Edition 2013 Ram Runner 1993 Renault Clio Williams 1990 Subaru SVX 1979 Toyota FJ40 2005 TVR Sagaris 1990 Vauxhall Lotus Carlton Related Video: News Source: Playground Games / MicrosoftImage Credit: Playground Games / Microsoft Auto News Toys/Games Ford RAM Toyota forza exclusive ford f-150 raptor forza horizon forza horizon 3 toyota fj40 meyers manx

Detroit 3 and UAW could create healthcare pool

Thu, Sep 3 2015

Healthcare costs continue to multiply in the US with no clear end in sight, but the United Auto Workers and the Big Three are negotiating a way to rapid growth under control. As part of the latest contract talks, the union has an idea to create a healthcare pool across all of its members at Ford, General Motors, and FCA US. If accepted, the company-wide integration would spread out the expenses and create a massive member base for bargaining with insurance companies. Both Ford and GM are at least considering the proposal, according to The Detroit News, and FCA US might be on board, as well. The idea is the work of current UAW president Dennis Williams and is based on the similar pool for the Voluntary Employee Beneficiary Association for retirees. "I've walked through this several ways; I just don't have any other answer," Williams said to The Detroit News. "I do believe this will work. It's worked with the VEBA." Williams was elected UAW president last year and won by an overwhelming margin. He vowed no more concessions to automakers. In addition to healthcare, the two-tier wage system is another major talking point in the contract negotiation because it gives fewer benefits to entry-level workers. Higher wages are also a request. Healthcare costs are a massive expense for automakers and are expected to reach over $2 billion this year, according to The Detroit News. The payments are up nearly 50 percent or more in just the last four years.

2018 Ford Expedition spied looking stylish

Tue, Sep 6 2016

The Ford Expedition and Lincoln Navigator got a cool reception for their 2015 warmed-over redesign. But with big, high-riding vehicles once again in vogue, Ford is pushing ahead with a ground-up redesign of its biggest SUVs. Based on these spy shots, the Expedition will continue to serve as the Navigator's more affordable twin. Yes, that's a bold prediction, considering we still haven't spotted Lincoln testing the new Navigator, but study the greenhouses on this Expedition prototype and the Navigator Concept from New York – from the arrow-straight belt line to the extra-long rear window to the aggressively raked windshield, this Expedition's overall profile is broadly similar to what Lincoln previewed earlier this year. While our spies claim the new Expedition will look to the F-150 for design inspiration, we see a departure from past Expedition tradition. Unlike the supposed Expedition spy shots we showed you nearly a year ago Â– which was nothing more than an SUV with an F-150's nose grafted on, this prototype's front-end styling looks softer and more aerodynamic, with a smaller grille and headlights, almost like an Escape or Edge. This kind of change would explain the additional front-end camouflage. In back, our spies rightly point out that Ford fitted a faux rear end to disguise the rear window's rake Â– expect the real thing to feature the angled rear window previewed on the Navigator Concept. Look at the last image in the gallery for a better idea of how the Expedition's rear window will actually look. We can't say a lot about the taillights, because of the camo, but non-LED taillights are present. We'd expect Ford to offer LEDs on higher trim levels. While the F-150's styling might not make the transition to the Expedition, its powertrains and emphasis on lightweight aluminum will. Our spies report the biggest SUV will ride on a new T3 platform and feature an aluminum body, with the F-150's 3.5-liter EcoBoost V6. Expect a ten-speed automatic transmission and start/stop tech for sure, while the smaller 2.7-liter, twin-turbo V6 could slot in as the Expedition's base engine Â– we're less sure on that one. And we're even more uncertain of the rumors of an Expedition Hybrid. Our spies report it could mate a 3.5-liter V6 with an electric motor(s) and battery packs for a more economical full-size SUV. Expect to see the 2018 Expedition debut in January, at the 2017 Detroit Auto Show.
