I have a very nice '04 Ranger for auction. I purchased it from a co worker a few months back with VERY light front end damage (see pic). It did blow the airbags but everything was replaced (driver/ pass bags, computer, and seat belts) and the system is properly functioning. She was only going about 25mph on a country road when someone turned in front of her. There was no frame damage and it required only a headlight/ turn signal, grill, bumper, bumper valance, and header panel replacement. It's a good title truck.

It's a 2WD XLT 2 door extended cab with a 5 speed manual transmission. It has ice cold A/C, CD player, tilt/ cruise, and a sliding rear window, crank windows and manual locks.

Mechanical: My co worker was the original owner and I have every receipt for everything done to the truck from the day it was new. Oil changes were every 3-5k miles (some in the 2k miles). The brakes only have a few thousand miles, tires are almost new, a newer ball joint, a new tie rod, and a front end alignment ~500 miles ago are some of the recent work completed. I have all of the work that was done summarized and sorted chronologically in an Excel file if interested. It's a 3.0V6 with a manual transmission with very low 57k miles. It runs well and did 26mpg on a highway trip recently. The leaf spring shackles are rock solid and the frame just has some light surface rust, not swiss cheese like my last Ranger.

Cosmetics: The interior is really clean with very little wear. The previous owner was a non smoker and so am I. It has some scratches and light dings (mostly to the top of the bed sides) but it shines up really well and looks good. It originally had painted bumpers but since the front needed replaced from the accident we replaced the front and back with chrome ones and added a chrome grill. Also, I added some chrome caps to the steel wheels so it looks a little better.

Payment: Deposit of $200 via PayPal within 48 hours of end of auction. Full (cleared) payment is due before shipping. Cash or bank check. It's not in my way, so the pick up date is not critical.

Shipping: I would be happy to ship it at buyers expense after payment is clear. Also, I would be happy to pick up the buyer at the Cleveland Hopkins airport (CLE) and you can drive it home.

Email me for more info/ pictures or to come take a look. It's also for sale local and I will cancel the auction if it sells locally. Thanks.

Bacon-wrapped Ford Fiesta hams it up for International Bacon Day

Wed, 28 Aug 2013

This is a bacon-wrapped Ford Fiesta. It is a real thing, that a real, multi-billion-dollar company designed. And it isn't even April Fools' Day. Designed for International Bacon Day, which is also apparently a thing, the 2014 Fiesta is finished in Green Envy paint - we're told black paint, like the color of a skillet, made the car look camouflaged - and features 10 gigantic decals depicting strips of tender, cured bacon.
The design, which was approved by the CEO of Benton's Country Hams, Allan Benton, show off the depth of Ford's Custom Graphics program. Unbelievably, Ford will actually start offering bacon decals to everyday customers, including (and we can't believe we're writing this) dual bacon racing stripes which will no doubt have Carroll Shelby spinning and/or salivating in his grave, and a "side of bacon," which wraps a couple of strips over the rear wheels.
Benton, who Ford claims is the King of Bacon, had this to say: "This car just makes so much sense." The Fiesta's marketing manager, Liz Elser added, "It's just awesome to drive down the road in a piece of bacon."

Ford faces class-action lawsuit for selling vehicles without brake override systems

Fri, 29 Mar 2013

A total of 20 Ford customers are suing the automaker in a class-action lawsuit for selling vehicles "vulnerable to unintended acceleration." According to Reuters, the suit names 30 models built between 2002 and 2010 with electronic throttle control systems but without a brake override system. Those include the 2004-2012 F-Series pickups and the 2005-2009 Lincoln Town Car. Adam Levitt, a partner with the law firm of Grant & Eisenhofer says the plaintiffs in the case want "to be compensated for their economic losses by having overpaid for cars that contained defects." Levitt contends that the plaintiffs would not have bought their vehicles or paid less for them had they known there was no brake override system in place.
Ford began installing brake override systems in its vehicles beginning in 2010. In response to the lawsuit, Ford has pointed to research by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration that indicated that unintended acceleration is mostly caused by driver error, saying in a statement that, "NHTSA's work is far more scientific and trustworthy than work done by personal injury lawyers and their paid experts."
Belville et al v. Ford Motor Co. will be heard in US District Court in the Southern District of West Virginia.

Ford pits Cobra Jet versus GRC Fiesta ST, worlds collide

Thu, 31 Oct 2013

Racing takes on many forms in the automotive world. There are sanctioned events that are as varied and diverse as NASCAR, Formula One, Global Rallycross and drag racing, and to be good enough to win competitively in one discipline, you need to have a specialized vehicle. Or do you?
Ford decided to find out what would happen when its Global Rallycross Fiesta ST, driven by Tanner Foust, lined up against its Mustang Cobra Jet drag racer, driven by Roy Hill. In one lane, Tanner has just 2.0 liters of displacement to work with, while Roy has more than double that, at 5.0 liters. Evening the playing field a bit, Tanner has a massive turbocharger and all-wheel drive; Roy has to filter all his supercharged power through the rear wheels only.
So, who wins? We suggest you see for yourself in the press release and video below. And we're holding out hope that Tanner's challenge at the end results in another video from Ford Racing...
