1957 Ford Rancho Custom Hot Rod Crusier on 2040-cars
Hemet, California, United States
|
1957 Ford Ranchero Custom. I the engine is a 351 Windsor (I have had different opinions). Has a fresh C-4 transmission, and a 9” rear differential. Has air suspension all the way around, stock drum brakes, and dual exhaust. Body modifications include: Shaved door handles, 1958 Edsel tail lights, 1955 Plymouth grill, 1958 side trim, nosed, decked, and lowered. Bed floor is raised with a custom tonneau cover. Paint is House of Kolor flat maroon clear coated, dark maroon fade, and orange pinstriping. Top is a bright candy red (does have a flaw see pictures). Interior is white and maroon tuck and roll lined the seats, door panels, and rear panel, and maroon carpet trimmed with white piping lining the floors. A Mercury Turnpike Cruiser steering wheel is in place. Has 15x7 chromed reversed wheels with spider caps and Coker 205/75R15 white walls. Car has been featured in Rod & Kulture magazine and on the cover of Car Kulture Deluxe. The Ranchero runs and drives well, and is a constant attention getter. For being a few years old, the paint does have a few flaws as pictured, the body is super straight and overall still shows very well. This is a great driver vehicle that can be enjoyed as is. Has clear California title. Mileage on vehicle is unkown. Vehicle is being offered for sale locally, so I reserve the right to end auction early. |

FBI investigating recently fired Ford engineer for espionage
Fri, 25 Jul 2014Agents of the FBI are investigating a potential case of industrial espionage involving a recently fired Ford employee. The Dearborn, MI-based manufacturer had its world headquarters searched by FBI agents on July 11, and according to The Detroit News, had warrants to seize recording devices handed over to Ford by Sharon Leach, a now-former Ford engineer.
Leach, who had spent 17 years with the Blue Oval, was fired last month, after Ford Security relieved her of eight Sansa listening devices. The FBI got involved shortly after her dismissal, searching her home on June 20 and seizing some two dozen items, including computers, jump drives and financial records, according to warrants obtained by The News.
Ford has remained quiet on the matter, with spokeswoman Susan Krusel confirming that the automaker was working with the FBI as part of a "joint investigation," while declining to provide any additional details.
Ford, Toyota clean up in Best Car For The Money Awards
Fri, 22 Feb 2013The U.S. News Best Cars for the Money Awards picks winners by looking at the average transaction price, five-year total cost of ownership, the regard a car has from the automotive press, reliability figures from J.D. Power and Associates and safety data from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration and the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety. The result, according to the magazine, is "the best combination of critical acclaim and long-term value."
Ford nabbed six of the 21 categories that received awards this year, the Focus, Fusion, Fusion Hybrid, Taurus, Escape and Edge getting trophies. Toyota and its Lexus and Scion sub-brands took another five, the Tacoma and Tundra owning the two categories given to pickup trucks. The other ten awards were split between Honda with three, Buick with two, and one each for Subaru, BMW, Hyundai, Chevrolet and Mazda.

Ford, GM to collaborate on 9- and 10-speed transmissions
Mon, 15 Apr 2013Back in October, there were reports that General Motors and Ford Motor Company were hard at work co-developing new nine- and ten-speed automatic transmissions, and now both automakers have confirmed this joint operation. While there are no specific vehicles mentioned to receive either transmission, a collaborative press release issued by GM and Ford mention that the transmission will be designed for front- and rear-wheel-drive cars, crossovers, trucks and SUVs.
These aren't the first powertrain components developed jointly between these cross-town rivals, either. The six-speed automatic currently used in vehicles like the Ford Edge, Ford Fusion, Chevrolet Cruze and Chevrolet Equinox was engineered in a similar fashion. As is the case with this existing transmission, both automakers will assist in the design, development and testing of the new transmissions, but each will build its own units in its own factories. Scroll down for the official press release.
