Attention to all of Oldshep12's awesome customers,,, My father is no longer able to list all of the Fobs from his 50+ year collection or other select items he's selling. I am Doug Simon (ebay ID markmartinstheman), Ed's son & the one who helped him with his selling on ebay. I have been doing ebay since 1999, and have done over 5,000 transactions with great success, but mostly in the automotive area,,, and though dad & I were involved with collecting fobs together when I was younger, I haven't been involved with them since the 70's,, so PLEASE bare with me on my knowledge on all of his items. At some point, ebay may require me to sell his items from my own account (markmartinstheman), so for now I'm basically trying to introduce myself with all of dad's faithful customers. All of the proceeds from dad's items are to help out my mother. Thanks,, if you have any questions on items, please ask,, email me or you can call me on my cell (319) 389-8507  10am-11pm central time (evenings are better since I'm usually home after 6pm)


This auction is for:

(1)   Low Mileage "99 Ford Ranger" Ext. Cab, 62K, 2 wd, 4 dr.


This was dad's very nice "LOW MILEAGE" 1999 Ford Ranger XLT that he took very good care of(well maintained) and kept in a garage. Presently, it only has 62,602 miles on it. It is a 2 wheel drive, Extended Cab with 4 doors. The receipt for the matching topper said it cost around $1,100. Dad had also updated the rims, with (5) nice 16" aluminum wheels(including the spare). The Cooper tires are also in very good condition.


I'm a 32 year mechanic, with the last 5 yrs. at a large used car lot, where I go through vehichles making them right/safe. 

  Today I put dad's truck on the hoist & checked it all over. The truck looks to be in very good condition,,, and like every other vehicle, it has the normal rust coating on everything underneath the truck,, BUT, there are no signs of any major rust anywhere that I saw,, everything looks very solid! 

  This truck has a Disc/Drum brake setup on it,,, and there's approx. 60-70% left on the brakes,,, the insides of the front rotors are rusted from sitting,,, but there is no pulsation during braking(very good feeling brakes).

  The underside of the truck looks very good,,, very dry,,, not coated with oil. The exhaust is still the factory stainless ex. with the exception of a Magnaflow Muffler,,, so the truck has a slight rumble,, but not too much(dad was in his 70's).

Under the hood looks very good also,, just the normal light dirt. I changed the oil today,, and cleaned the $50 Amsoil, nano-fiber air filter(keep this clean with light air pressure & it should outlast the truck, this is the best air filter you can buy,, high flow rate, but yet it's 98% efficient @ 2 microns.

All of the fluids looked good(I topped them off), and so does the Serp. belt. The battery has also started the truck up every time,, even after sitting a week. 

Of coarse the topper is removable,, and as you can see in the picture,, there are a couple of sand bags in the back along with a full rubber floor mat, rug & a set of jumper cables(all included). The tail gate works just fine, and so do the topper's back window(with a slight finessing to latch it).

Overall the condition of the exterior is pretty good for it's age,,, there is a slight amount of body rust,, but not that much, and not that bad at all. When you look at the pics,, the worst spot is on the right-rear wheel well lip,, but even that's not that bad,, but you be your own judge.

  The interior is in very-very good condion,, everything seems to be in good condion & is in working order(not sure about the casset player). The AC works great,, along with the radio & AC/Heater selectors. The windows are hand crank,, non electic,,, they work just fine, but the driver's side one pops a little, right at the top when closing,, but it closes just fine. 

Don't let the age of this truck fool you,, it's a great truck!!  Low mileage trucks like this sell for 6k and above on the car lots around here,,, SO you can Save BIG Here!!!


You Must Pay for this truck when you pick it up,, I will NOT take any personal checks for this item,, and I will NOT accept payment through Paypal,,, unless you want to pay that 3% fee! You can contact me here(through an email question), or call 1-(319)-389-8507,,, 10am-11pm (Central time)


The truck is to be picked up at the shop where I work ( 150 7th Ave. Marion, Iowa 52302 (by Cedar Rapids, Iowa) within 7 days of the end of the auction, UNLESS otherwised arranged with me(DOUG) before the end of the auction!

Yearly auto recall record demolished in 6 months

Tue, Jul 1 2014

With nearly 40 million vehicles under repair campaigns and counting, 2014 will almost certainly go down as the year of the automotive recall. At just past the halfway mark, we are already at record levels, and there aren't any signs that the epidemic is slowing. General Motors' latest 8.4 million vehicle recall in the US puts the industry over the top for the title of the most cars with fixes pending from automakers ever. That's a prize no one ever wants to receive. According to TheDetroitBureau.com, the US recall total has hit 39.85-million vehicles to surpass the previous record of 33.01 million in 2004. Perhaps more surprising, with over 26 million repairs pending, it's still quite possibly that GM could recall more vehicles by the end of the year than the 27.96-million unit total of the entire US auto industry last year. With over 40 campaigns under its belt in 2014, the roughly one million cars it would take would hardly come as a surprise at this point, especially with increased government scrutiny into the Detroit automaker's processes. The pace of recalls started off relatively normal this year, with just a smattering of campaigns. The most surprising early on was Aston Martin calling in about 75 percent of its output since 2007 due to counterfeit plastic, but with just a few thousand cars, it was relatively tiny in pure numbers. GM really kicked things off soon after, but we didn't know it at the time. It issued its first bulletin for 778,000 Cobalt compacts in early February. Things only ballooned from there as more models were added to its growing ignition switch problem. The onslaught of announcements from every major automaker hasn't abated since then. Some industry executives are trying to put a positive spin on the situation. "With what's transpired (in recent months), there's a higher level of scrutiny," said Joe Hinrichs, Ford president of the Americas, to TheDetroitBureau.com. He believes that automakers are looking at data much more thoroughly than before, and it means better customer safety. Still, many consumers probably wish these problems had been found before their car went on sale.

Ford tells Congress it collects and protects some driver data

Fri, 14 Feb 2014

Last month Ford's Jim Farley made waves at the CES when it was reported he told show attendees, "We have GPS in your car, so we know what you're doing. By the way, we don't supply that data to anyone." Farley and Ford later partially retracted and clarified that statement.
Spurred by a desire for further transparency on data collection policies, Ford representatives answered questions from Congress, specifically Senator Al Franken (D-Minn.), about driver privacy.
The Detroit News reports that Ford told Congress it does collect some vehicle location data in an effort to "troubleshoot and improve our products" on behalf of the driver. Ford went on to say that it only collects limited data after receiving permission from owners.

China takes lead as GM's No. 1 market

Tue, 09 Jul 2013

It's happened. General Motors' biggest vehicle market - at least in terms of new model sales - is China. According to TheDetroitBureau.com, GM and its various Chinese joint venture operations enjoyed a 10.6-percent sales increase in the first half of 2013, selling almost 1.6 million units in the market. That puts GM China about 200,000 units ahead of its US sales totals over the same period - this, despite indicators that the communist nation's economy is losing momentum.
TDB notes that like GM, rival Ford has also enjoyed a robust 2013 in China thus far, with its sales up a whopping 47 percent to 407,721 units sold - 75,254 of them in June alone. Between the two US automakers, passenger car sales for the first half of 2013 are up around 14 percent, well ahead of the rest of the industry's 10-percent growth estimates for the market. Some of the sales growth may come as a result of an overall anti-Japan sentiment in China, though the American brands have long outsold their Japanese counterparts in the country.
By The General's own predictions, China will only continue to grow in sales importance. The company has designs on selling over five million cars a year in the market before the end of the decade, a total that figures to dramatically widen the gap versus its US totals - even if America's auto market makes a full recovery to the the salad days of over 17-million units a year.
