Good info and history of the Ford Ranger.

Great stuff. It's nice how it's broken down into the different generations on the side

Does anyone remember seeing a Saleen Ranger in 1988? I was only 5 years old but I remember seeing one in an article not too long ago. What was so special about them?

 

[Tonya Gilmore]

It was a stock 2.9 5 speed, regular cab long bed with a body kit

That'd be the one. Anyone notice the speedo?? 140mph... Maybe if you dropped it out of an airplane.

 

[Jon]

Yeah, I love how they put the speedo up to those ridiculous numbers. You'd be dead before you hit 140 in that.

Well maybe not you, but anyone behind you... All that flying sheetmetal and fiberglass.

Okay, I have to admit this.....I was going through some old sketch books of mine and I found a sketch I did of a Saleen Ranger. They actually had a racing series at the time that I think was sponsored by General Tires and as you can tell, Steve Saleen was really bored. I think the only place that ever got those was California.
