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! |

White House clears way for NHTSA to mandate vehicle black boxes
Fri, 07 Dec 2012At present, over 90 percent of all new vehicles sold in the United States today are equipped with event data recorders, more commonly known as black boxes. If the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration gets its way, that already high figure will swell to a full 100 percent in short order.
Such automotive black boxes have been in existence since the 1990s, and all current Ford, General Motors, Mazda and Toyota vehicles are so equipped. NHTSA has been attempting to make these data recorders mandatory for automakers, and according to The Detroit News, the White House Office of Management Budget has just finished reviewing the proposal, clearing the way. Now NHTSA is expected to draft new legislation to make the boxes a requirement.
One problem with current black boxes is that there's no set of standards for automakers to follow when creating what bits of data are recorded, and for how long or in what format it is stored. In other words, one automaker's box is probably not compatible with its competitors.
Ford debuts Fusion NASCAR racer that edges closer to stock [w/video]
Wed, 20 Feb 2013The sixth-generation NASCAR Sprint Cup racecar, which will make its competition debut at the 2013 Daytona 500 this weekend, marks the closest thing to a "stock car" that the sport has seen in more than 20 years. No longer using just stickers to distinguish the different brands, the image above shows the lengths NASCAR and automakers went in order to create a racecar design that more closely resembles the individual cars they represent.
Ford, one of the more open and vocal OEMs regarding the Gen6 car's development, is giving us a closer look at its racing version of the Fusion with a pretty revealing side-by-side comparison with last years' racer (click above for an expanded view). Aside from the more realistic front end and production-like body lines, the overall shape, dimensions and proportions have also been designed to give the racecar a more stock appearance. Most of the new racer was designed by the Ford Design Center, which the automaker says was the first time it has been so involved in the design process since the 1960s. Of course, one area the Sprint Cup Fusion really differs from the production Fusion is its Ford Racing 5.8-liter V8 producing around 850 hp. Can you say Fusion SVT?
Scroll down for a quick video from Ford Racing showing a production Fusion morph into a Cup car.
NHTSA advances investigation of Ford Crown Victoria headlights
Sat, Aug 15 2015The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration is opening a preliminary evaluation into reports of suddenly failing headlights on 517,945 examples of the 2003-2005 Ford Crown Victoria and Mercury Grand Marquis. The government started looking into this problem in April when the North Carolina Consumers Council filed a defect petition with the agency. Now, the inquiry has moved to the next step. According to NHTSA's documentation (as a PDF), it examined its own database and worked with Ford to come up with a total of 3,609 complaints of the front lighting control module suddenly failing. When this happens, drivers lose the low-beam headlights, but the high-beams can be used by holding the stalk. Sometimes turning the switch off and on fixes the issue. Additionally, there are 15 allegations of crashes, and one reported shoulder injury. NHTSA's preliminary evaluations "evaluate the scope, frequency, and consequence of the alleged defect" and don't necessarily lead to a recall. NHTSA looked into this problem once before in 2008 and 2009 and decided that a recall wasn't necessary. Ford also extended the warranty on the front lighting control module for these vehicles. INVESTIGATION Subject : Loss of headlights Date Investigation Opened: AUG 10, 2015 Date Investigation Closed: Open NHTSA Action Number: PE15028 Component(s): EXTERIOR LIGHTING All Products Associated with this Investigation Vehicle Make Model Model Year(s) FORD CROWN VICTORIA 2003-2005 MERCURY GRAND MARQUIS 2003-2005 Details Manufacturer: Ford Motor Company SUMMARY: After receiving a defect petition (DP15002) concerning the loss of headlights and other exterior lighting in model year (MY) 2003-2005 Ford Crown Victoria and Mercury Grand Marquis vehicles, the Office of Defects Investigation (ODI) analyzed Vehicle Owner Questionnaire (VOQ) complaints received from consumers and identified a total of 605 reports (for all submission dates) alleging headlight failure. The complaints indicate failures of both low beam headlights typically while driving, a defect condition that was evaluated under a prior ODI investigation (PE08066). Most consumer VOQs indicate that the headlights failed suddenly and without warning leaving the driver with no forward lighting, however some report the headlights flickered or dimmed prior to turning off. In some cases drivers were able to turn the headlights back on after a period of time while others reported the headlights would not come back on at all.
