For Sale is a 1957 Ford Ranchero. I've owned this Ranchero for about 4 years now. I bought locally in Chico, Ca. from a friend who had it for many years in covered storage. When purchased, it took only clean gas, and a battery to get moving. It ran great, shifted great and was unbelievably reliable car for one sitting so long. The brakes worked, all gauges, turn signals, lights etc. The tires all held air but are very old.

 After I purchased the car, I then bought a nearly new rebuilt 312 V-8 and a A/T . I also purchased a power steering set up and front suspension for the V-8. My plan was to make this Ranchero into a power steering V-8 car.

 The body is rock solid, it has a fairly new fuel tank and fuel lines. There are small areas that are in need of minor repair but for a 57year old Ranchero, it is very sweet.

 The Ranchero comes with everything I have purchased for the car which includes:

 312 V-8, A/T, fuel tank, dash, trim, glass. tail gate and much more. The original 223 straight 6 is still in the car but disconnected. The Ranchero will roll and brake. I can help load it on a trailer.

This truck when done is one of the more desirable early Fords out there. I have not nor does it appear that I will have time to complete this project and am hoping someone else sees the potential I do.

 Please email with any questions. I can store the truck for a reasonable amount of time and will assist with transport all I can.

 She comes with a clean and clear Calif. title

Please Note: This Ranchero is a 1959 Not 1957. Sorry for the confusion

Ford builds USAF Thunderbirds Edition Mustang for charity

Tue, 02 Jul 2013

Each year since 2008, Ford has created a one-off Mustang to celebrate military aviation, and the cars have been auctioned off at the Experimental Aircraft Association (EAA) Gathering of Eagles charity event to raise money to inspire the next generation of aviators. This year's charity car is the 2014 Ford Mustang GT US Air Force Thunderbirds Edition, which also helps celebrate 60 years of Thunderbirds air show excellence.
Of all the EAA charity cars, this Thunderbirds Edition is the most in depth. Painted to match the F-16 Tomcat fighter jets used by Thunderbirds, this Mustang also gets a widebody kit and 22-inch Forgiato wheels to go with the cockpit's Recaro bucket seats, rear-seat delete and modified navigation screen and gauge cluster. Even the Mustang's projector puddle lights have been changed to show an aircraft silhouette - rather than the Mustang's galloping horse logo - when the doors are open.
Themes for previous EAA charity cars include the Blue Angels, SR-71 Blackbird and the Red Tails as well as the F-22 Raptor-inspired AV8R and AV-X10 "Dearborn Doll" models. Scroll down for the press release for the 2014 Ford Mustang GT US Air Force Thunderbirds Edition, and be sure to check out our galleries for all six aviation-themed Mustangs.

Fri, 11 Jan 2013

With its influx of popular new products made in the US, Ford Motor Company has announced that it intends to hire 2,200 new salaried workers domestically this year. This is the biggest increase of salaried workers for Ford in the last 10 years, and it is all a part of Ford's contract commitment to the United Auto Workers union to bring 12,000 new jobs to the US by 2015.
There were no specifics as to where in the US these job openings will be, but Ford did reiterate that it will be spending $773 million on equipment upgrades and capacity expansion at six plants located in southeast Michigan; as a whole, Ford is investing a total of $6.2 billion to its US assembly plants over the next couple years. According to recently appointed president of the Americas Joe Hinrichs, the new jobs will be focused on areas such as engineering, manufacturing and computer software. Ford will post its job openings online at careers.ford.com, and it will also use social media sites like Facebook and Twitter to recruit new workers, including military veterans.
