Alpine, Texas, United States
|
1957 Ford Ranchero 390, 3 Speed. I picked up this body in Bakersfield a couple years ago to build a shop truck. I have since retired and this is as far as it got. Runs really good. Drives fine. 390, BUT it might be a 352. I took it out of a 57 Retractable. 62 model block with 58 machined chamber heads. 4 brl. Does not smoke or leak. 3 Speed on the column. Later trans with synchronized low. Trans needs a rear seal. Went through the brake system. New Master cylinder, wheel cylinders, metal lines and new hoses. New fuel pump, aluminum radiator, upper a frame bushings, rear shocks, emergency brake cable. Tires and wheels were something I had laying around the shop. Rear 255/35/ZR20, front 245/40/ZR20. The front tires have some cracks in the side walls. One front center cap is broke. All the lights and signals work as well as the horn. All the glass is good except the rear window has a crack and some b-b chips. New windshield seal. New Headliner and some cheap cut to fit carpet. I have all the inside trim and a extra set of stainless for around the bed. It needs lower quarters, rockers and fenders repaired. I have done the floor. I have a set of lower quarters I cut off another car that go with it as well as the door moldings. IT NEEDS A GAS TANK. I run it on can in the back. The old tank is still under the car so you have the filler neck and straps. You can pick it up here 79830 Alpine Tx. With a couple days notice I can meet you in Hamlin Tx 79520. Just north of Abilene. I have a two car trailer with up coming trips to Phoenix, Billings Mt, Biloxi Ms and In. I can drop it off along any of those routes or meet you somewhere. Storage after payment is not a problem. 214-226-3119. E mailing me works best. Cell Reception here is spotty. I am sure I forgot something. It is for sale locally.

Consumer Reports says these are the worst new cars of 2014
Thu, 27 Feb 2014Consumer Reports has announced its annual list of worst vehicles, a cringe-inducing contrast to its list of top vehicles. Ignominiously leading the way in 2014 is Chrysler, which has a staggering seven models listed.
Jeep nearly sweeps the small SUV segment by itself, with its Compass, Patriot and 2.4-liter version of the new Cherokee, while the only midsize sedans listed by CR were the Chrysler 200 and Dodge Avenger. The new Dodge Dart and the Dodge Journey round out CR's condemnation of Chrysler.
Ford is taking heat as well, with the Taurus, Edge and their counterparts from Lincoln all listed as the worst vehicles in their respective segments. Toyota doesn't fare much better, with its Lexus IS, Scion iQ and tC also making the list.
The hottest modern sports cars rendered as rally racers
Thu, Jan 14 2016The modern-day World Rally Championship a monumental amount of fun to watch – I should know, as I recently was lucky enough to head to the UK to watch WRC Wales Rally GB – but even the most monstrous of the current WRC cars are based on fairly pedestrian European hatchbacks. Back in the heyday of rally, the Group B era in the 1980s, much hotter cars were the basis of even more incredible competition machines, for the most part. Take the exotic Ford RS200, or the Lancia Delta S4 with its twin-charged engine. And the hatchback-based Group B cars were bonkers, too. So what would some of our favorite modern cars look like if Group B had never ended? A British site named CarWow hired an artist to reimagine everything from the Rolls-Royce Wraith to the Porsche 911 as a retro-inspired rally car, and they were kind enough to let us share the results in the gallery above. The gallery features an Alfa Romeo Giulia in Martini livery, an Audi TT in classic Ur-Quattro colors, a Fiat 500 Abarth sporting massive flares and a hood blister full of auxiliary lights, a new Ford Mustang in RS200 livery, a Lancia Delta in Alitalia colors, a Porsche 911 in Rothmans livery, a Renault-Alpine in classic blue, a Rolls-Royce Wraith tribute to the Jules cologne Corniche Coupe, and a relatively modern-looking VW Touran. So far, the favorite around the office is the incredible Mercedes-Benz S-Class that is an homage to the wonderful 300 SEL 6.8 AMG "Red Pig" that essentially put AMG on the map. Check out the gallery above and see which one you like the best. Related Video:
Find out if the Ford Fiesta ST can match Europe's latest hot hatches
Tue, 11 Feb 2014The V8 grunt of the Mustang has defined Ford performance cars in the US for the last 50 years, but in Europe, the Blue Oval has nearly as a long history of building some of the best hot hatches on the market with the Fiesta, Escort and later the Focus. The latest Fiesta ST has just hit the roads on both sides of the pond and has been enthusiastically received thanks to its combination of a peppy, turbocharged engine and hatchback utility.
However, Europe is getting a bumper crop of hot hatches at the moment, including the forthcoming, third-generation Mini Cooper S. Should Ford have waited to launch the ST until it knew how the competition performed? That's the answer that Xcar is after in its latest video, and it took the Fiesta to the track and some very misty, Welsh roads to find out. Scroll down to find out whether the ST stacks up.
