1957 Ford Ranchero Running Driving Project 390 3 Speed on 2040-cars
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.

2019 Chicago Auto Show photo gallery: All of the grilles
Fri, Feb 8 2019Do you like trucks? How about grilles? Like really big, shiny, chromey, in-your-face, could-be-made-by-Broil-King grilles? Well, the Chicago Auto Show is the place to be. Traditionally known as the truck show of the annual auto show circuit (at least those covered by national media), Chicago has what seems like a small national park's worth of acreage devoted to both consumer and commercial trucks. From humble extended cab Ford Rangers to a mammoth F-650 with cherry picker sprouting from its aft quarters, there's bound to be a truck for everything. And they all have grilles. So above is our gallery devoted to them, because hell, why not? Should you want to know about the trucks attached to those grilles, check out our coverage below.

Detroit 3 small cars lay an egg in latest Consumer Reports reliability study
Tue, 28 Oct 2014Consumer Reports has released its Annual Auto Reliability Survey and the results are, in a word, interesting. While we already covered the score-damaging effects of infotainment systems, there's another big angle to the data that's getting some attention - the utterly dismal scores of the Detroit Three's small car offerings.
The turbocharged Dodge Dart and Chevrolet Cruze, as well as the Ford Fiesta were their respective brands' lowest-scoring models, a stat that's made worse by the fact that the American automakers finished 25th, 21st and 23rd, respectively.
That's not acceptable for The Detroit Free Press' auto critic, Mark Phelan, who has penned a scathing critique of the D3's small car reliability scores, arguing that GM, Ford and Chrysler are "out of excuses."
Next Ford Mustang to drop 400 pounds
Thu, 15 Aug 2013The Ford Mustang is already the lightest of the current crop of muscle cars, at around 3,600 pounds for a GT coupe with the six-speed manual transmission. That's almost 260 pounds less than a Chevrolet Camaro SS and about 450 pounds less than a Dodge Challenger R/T, which means the Mustang has a pretty big advantage when it comes to handling, braking, accelerating and economy. More good news: The next Mustang will be even lighter.
According to a report from Edmunds, the sixth-generation Mustang, which is set to debut at the 2014 North American International Auto Show, will shed an additional 400 pounds of body fat. That 11-percent weight reduction will be thanks to lightweight materials, with a particular focus on using stronger, but less material in construction. Aluminum will feature heavily, but Edmunds' inside source warns that there is "nothing terribly exotic" coming to the original pony car.
The other big news is that the new Mustang will be smaller overall. It's going to be 15-inches shorter than the 188.5-inch Mustang on sale today, while it'll also be 6.5 inches narrower. Shorter overhangs, both in the front and rear, are also good signs for those that want an agile Mustang.
