I purchased the vehicle from a body shop with all of the body work done and i will describe what he said was done and i have the original listing. The Ranchero is from California i have pictures before work was started . All the body work was completed by hand no DA's no Airfiles were used. The hood latch and all of the specialty nuts and bolts were zinc plated. The car was stripped to bare metal and was treated with PPG products. The shop was PPG certified. They used DX1791 and DX1792 etch Primer,K-36 Primer, and painted the car base coat clear coat. The colors are Dresden Blue and Colonial White. It has 4 coats of 2021 Clear and 3 coats of each color. The frame was sand blasted and POR 15 was applied to the frame and floor pan.The frame is solid. All of the glass is new except for the vent windows. All the emblems are new. The front bumper was on the car it's in good shape the grill is a new chrome tube grill with turn signals the rear bumper is newly chromed. The stainless trim around the top of the bed and around the rear window is in fair shape. The tailgate handle has been removed and an electric latch has been installed. The bed is like new no dings. The engine is a  newly rebuilt 302 bored .30 over with a newly rebuilt C4 automatic transmission it has an electric fan 2 barrel carb,new 3 row radiator,new wiring harness,rack and pinion power steering, power disc brakes.The gas tank has been repaired and clean the wrong sending unit is in it so it's not accurate.It has dual exhaust with ford tail pipe chrome ends.All the brake lines transmission lines are new. The steering wheel is a Grant Wheel with a Flaming River tilt steering column it has Dolphin Gauges.The gauges were installed after the car was running for a little while,they put the new gauges in but they did not put the correct sending unit on the tank and i didn't take it back but i do have the correct one. It has a CD player with radio in the dash. Wipers work,heater and fan work all the interior lights work.The original clock does not work. All of the interior is new. The small chrome  panels where the light knob,wiper knob and ignition switch operate are in fair shape they could be redone.The glove box is new. The speakers are behind the seat and in the dash. The interior door handles are all new the door locks work. The passenger door window does slip a little but goes up and down. I did not do any of the work so what i tell you is what they said was done.The car looks great! Like i said i have the original pictures of the car before all work was done. They are not the best but i could email them to you and hope they are viewable.

Muscle wins big at 2013 Amelia Island Concours as 1936 Duesenberg, 1968 Ford GT40 take top honors

Wed, 13 Mar 2013

The 18th-annual Amelia Island Concours d'Elegance took place this past weekend, and in one of the show's biggest years yet (bringing in more than 25,000 spectators and attracting more than 300 vehicles), two powerhouses ended up winning the judges' hearts. The top Concours d'Elegance award went to a 1936 Duesenberg SJN, while the Concours de Sport went to one of the celebrated marques, a 1968 Ford GT40.
Owned by Helen and Jack Nethercutt of Sylmar, CA, this flawless Duesy is described as "one of the most powerful open cars of the 1930s," and it displays design cues of the era like rolled fenders and a tapered rear end. The SJN's supercharged straight-eight allowed it to accelerate to 100 miles per hour in just 17 seconds - surely not a disappointing feat for its day.
On a much different level of performance and timelessness, this Gulf-livery GT40 from the Rocky Mountain Auto Collection is not outdone by the elegance of the big Duesenberg thanks to some well-documented racing history. This not only includes winning at LeMans in both 1968 and 1969 - Chassis No. 1075 also managed to win a total of six times in just 11 races.

Watch these Australian Ford and Holden muscle cars duke it out

Wed, 21 Aug 2013

Australia's Motoring has put together a little video on two of the great performance vehicles available down under - the Holden VF Commodore HSV GTS and the Ford Falcon FPV GT R-Spec. And while both FPV and the Falcon might be on their way out, there's still plenty of time for a little head-to-head comparison between the two.
The cars aren't all that well evenly matched, though. The Ford boasts a 5.0-liter, supercharged V8, which the Aussies measure out at 449 horsepower and 420 pound-feet of torque. The HSV, though, with its Corvette-derived, 6.2-liter, supercharged V8 is just too powerful - 576 hp and 545 lb-ft of torque.
Predictably, it doesn't end too well for the Ford. As the guys from Motoring point out, the new VF Commodore is just too new and too good, with its extra power and its adaptive dampers (GM's excellent MagnaRide). Interestingly, Motoring did point out that the Holden's electric steering is better than the Ford's hydraulic steering, which is a lot like a Porsche purist saying they prefer water-cooled engines to air cooled.
