I have a very rare 1967 Ford Ranchero XL 500 for sale. It is an original numbers matching big block 4 speed car. 390 high performance engine, close ratio 4 speed toploader transmission, 9" 3:25 to 1 traction-lock differential. Bucket seats, center console, XL trim, rare factory tachometer. Power steering and power disc brakes. According to internet research there were 1881 XL Rancheros built in 1967. Of that, 494 were "Z" engine codes and only 171 came with 4 speeds. This was an original red car with black interior. Has Unilite electronic distributor, Holley Street Dominator aluminum intake and Holley Street Avenger 670 cfm carburetor. Aside from that, the long block is original. The car runs and drives nicely and can be used as a daily driver. New shocks on all 4 corners. Front suspension is all new and has been lowered 1". Front sway bar has been upgraded to 1". Originally came with a 3:00 posi, now 3:25. New dual exhaust system with "H" pipe. Good brakes. New Cragar S/S wheels - 15" x 7" front and 15" x 8" rears with nice T/A radials. Everything works well on the car (lights, turn signals, radio, tach, wipers, etc.) with the exception of the horn. All glass is good although the windshield does have a scratch in it. Body is quite straight with no signs of any accidents except a slight crease in the passenger's rear quarter panel. There is some rust in the rear quarter panels down low (shown in pics) and the driver's side floor pan has been replaced with the correct full length pan and is very solid although not trimmed to a nice finish (also shown in pics). The bed had carpet in it when I purchased the car (approx. 3 years ago). I removed the carpet but the glue is still showing and there is pitting in the metal although very solid. I had the shock access and tailgate panel stripped and primed. My plan was to strip the remainder and Rhino-line the bed to cover the pitting. The remainder of the car is pretty much rust-free. Interior is nearly new...seats, carpet, door panels and headliner in very good shape. There is 1 crack in the dash at the speaker grille. Chrome and trim are complete and generally in very nice shape. The passenger's rear quarter panel trim is dinged up, but I have a nice replacement that goes with the vehicle. I also have a nice tailgate that is better than the one on the car. Some other small parts included. This is a rare muscle truck that is a one-year only body style (Fairlane). Serious parties please feel free to email or call (303) 775-2193 with questions. Thanks for your interest.

Auto investor Kirk Kerkorian dead at 98

Wed, Jun 17 2015

Kirk Kerkorian, among the most talked-about investors in the American auto industry in recent memory, died at the age of 98 in Los Angeles on Monday, June 15. The billionaire ran the investment company Tracinda Corp. and was the largest shareholder in MGM Resorts International. Kerkorian attempted to use his power as a well-financed investor to push the auto industry in some fascinating ways. In 2006, he used his nearly 10-percent stake in General Motors to push a merger with the Renault-Nissan Alliance. The deal made it as far as discussions, but eventually fell through. Kerkorian also attempted to purchase Chrysler - twice. According to Automotive News, the first effort came in 1995 with a $22.8-billion offer for the automaker, and soon after it failed the company merged with Daimler. Then in 2007, Kerkorian was back with a bid for $4.5 billion, but things eventually fell to Cerberus. The billionaire finished the trifecta by buying up $1 billion in Ford stock in 2008 to make Kerkorian the single largest investor in the company. However, the situation didn't last long, and by the end of that year, he had unloaded the shares. According to Automotive News, Kerkorian was ranked by Forbes as the world's 41st richest man in 2008 with a net worth of $16 billion.

Pony-car sales war: Mustang vs. Camaro vs. Challenger [UPDATE]

Fri, Jul 3 2015

Update: An earlier version of this story misstated the 2015 Mustang's weight when compared with previous models. Additionally, we have added comments from Chevrolet in the text. The Ford Mustang has blown past the Chevy Camaro as America's best-selling pony car, and in June, it wasn't even close. The 'Stang outsold the Camaro 11,719 to 8,611 cars. The Camaro remained ahead of the Dodge Challenger, which sold 6,845 units. Even though the Camaro did post an 11.5-percent sales improvement in June, the competition is arguably stronger than at anytime since the 1970s muscle-car era. The Mustang's sales leapt a whopping 53.6 percent, while the Challenger saw a gain of 56 percent. Several factors are weighing down Camaro sales, including its lame duck status. Chevy is launching a new generation of the Camaro this year that's more than 200 pounds lighter, offers a new turbo four-cylinder engine option, and has a nicer interior than the outgoing model. Put simply: wait a few months and you can get a better car. It's also unlikely Chevy will jack up the price much, as it's historically kept the Camaro within reach of everyday enthusiasts. While Chevy fans wait in anticipation for their new sports car, Ford and Dodge have downshifted. The new Mustang, which went on sale last year, is faster and more sophisticated than its predecessor. It also offers a 2.3-liter EcoBoost four-cylinder, which Ford has credited for the Mustang's recent uptick and makes up 36 percent of the car's sales, Ford analyst Erich Merkle said. View 17 Photos June's performance allowed the Mustang to widen its sales gap with the Camaro this year. Through the first five months, Ford sold 68,290 Mustangs, a 54.4-percent increased compared with 2014. Chevy sold 42,593 Camaros, an 8.7-percent decrease. The Challenger – long the No. 3 pony car in sales volume Â– has seen its sales surge 41 percent this year to 37,011 units. Spokesman Monte Doran said Chevy expected that 2015 would be a "relatively soft year" for the Camaro. "Mustang is taking advantage of years' worth of pent-up demand for an independent rear suspension," he said. "When Camaro introduced an IRS, in 2009, it helped make us the best-selling performance car in America.
