My other Ford/Mazda

[navdoc101]

I was looking through some old pics & found one of my 1976 Ford Courier PU.
Its was actually a Mazda b series PU.
Green with white spoke wheels, a 1.8L SOHC 4. & 4speed trans.
Small world, I now have a green Ford Festiva that is actually a Mazda with a b series motor.

Yup! I have a 2002 Mazda B3000 4x4. It is a Ford Ranger. Sometimes I order Ford Ranger parts for it. Does that make it a "Hybrid"?
Ford and Mazda have been at it for quite a while.

My Cujo is a hybrid: It has parts from Ford, Nissan, Dodge, Mazda, and Pontiac!

I have a 1974 that I drove forever with a 289 4 bbl engine, c4 and a rear axle out of a mazda auto.
New engine is in storage on an engine stand. Lowered and lightened with as much rubber as I could fit.
No pics from back then.

I had a second gen courier and loved it. I wish I had never sold it. Now I have 2 rangers. My 2002 has the Duratec2.3 which is essentially a Mazda MZR. The other ranger is a 98 with the Ford 2.5 i4. Both great engines, but feel drastically different. I kinda like my 2.5 better though even though it's got almost 3 times the miles as my 02.
