1989 Ford Ranger Xlt 4x4 on 2040-cars
Alva, Florida, United States

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!!. |

Chip Ganassi Racing switches to the Ford EcoBoost-powered Riley Daytona Prototype
Wed, 06 Nov 2013Chip Ganassi Racing with Felix Sabates (CGRFS) announced yesterday at Ford's SEMA press conference that it will field a Ford-Riley Daytona Prototype with the 3.5-liter EcoBoost V6 in the 2014 United SportsCar Championship (USCC). CGRFS is the second team to commit to the new Ford-Riley car, behind Michael Shank Racing (which has already used the racecar to break a 26-year-old top-speed record at Daytona International Speedway).
"Over the last 10 seasons we have been able to experience a great deal of success in Grand-Am," Chip Ganassi says, "and now with the dawn of the new United SportsCar Championship we feel that Ford power will be a key ingredient to writing the next chapter of our sports car program."
In the last Grand-Am season, CGRFS raced a BMW-Riley Daytona Prototype. The team has won seven Daytona Prototype championships, all in the past ten years. Scott Pruett and Memo Rojas return as the team's prototype co-drivers, and will attend their maiden race in the Ford-Riley at the Rolex 24 at Daytona in January.
Ford's Explorer-based Police Interceptor to get 365-hp EcoBoost option
Tue, 20 Aug 2013Speeders beware, the police are going to be getting quite a bit faster. Ford has just announced that it will be offering its 3.5-liter, twin-turbocharged, EcoBoost V6 in the Explorer Police Interceptor. The new engine will be joining the existing 3.7-liter V6. The 365-horsepower, 350-pound-foot mill should be familiar to consumers as the powerplant that's found in the Ford Taurus SHO (and its LEO equivalent, the Taurus Police Interceptor) and the Ford Explorer Sport. It should also provide quite a kick in the pants to officers used to the naturally aspirated 3.7 and its 304 ponies and 279 pound-feet of torque.
The move to the more potent powerplant was born out of all the equipment officers need to carry on a day-to-day basis. These days, there's so much stuff that police need on a regular basis, that there's a genuine market for a faster Police Interceptor Utility, as it's known officially. The Explorer-based cruiser has already accounted for 68 percent of Ford's LEO sales in 2013, and that's with just the 3.7, and we'd only expect that number to increase once the twin-turbo, 3.5-liter V6 is available. Ford won't offer up any indication of what the take rate will be on the new engine, but we're guessing it'll be fairly high.
The success of the Explorer PI couldn't have come at a better time for Ford. The decision to end Crown Victoria production was not a popular one with police, and combined with Chevrolet and Dodge diving into the LEO market feet first, Ford hasn't been performing as well as it's wanted to. The Explorer has been helping it turn around, though. And with the inclusion of the EcoBoost, Ford also has a legit competitor for the Chevrolet Tahoe on the big utility side of the police market.
Shelby to auction 2012 GT350 No. 1 in Vegas
Thu, 19 Sep 2013With Shelby preparing to wind down production of its brutal GT350, a 624-horsepower Mustang that's meant to go up against the Roush Stage 3 in the world of tuned Ford ponycars, the Las Vegas-based tuner is looking to give back to one lucky customer. It'll auction off the very first GT350 ever produced, at the 2013 Barrett-Jackson auction in Las Vegas, a three-day event that runs from September 26 through September 28.
The GT350 is a monster, with a 5.0-liter, supercharged V8 that's been tuned well past 600 horsepower in a time when Ford's own Shelby-branded GT500 barely reached 550 horsepower. The GT350 is much louder than Ford's effort, too, both visually and audibly. The wide body look isn't what we'd call conventional, but on a car that sounds and goes like this, something extreme is needed. According to Shelby American's vice president of production, Gary Davis, "Carroll was very excited about the new wide body option, so that was included on this car. It's the first 2012 GT350 serial number from our anniversary year. It is a very special car." Wilwood brakes, a massaged suspension, and some very fat, sticky tires add to the Shelby experience.
This particular GT350 will be lot number 750, and will cross the Barrett-Jackson stage on Sunday, September 28.
