Link to video for phone users: https://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_detailpage&v=l-FYx5j7mQk Here is a rare 1970 Ranchero GT with a factory N code 429. One of 296 N code Ranchero GT's. Originally White with dark red interior. Not only is a factory 429 but it is loaded with rare factory options including: C6 automatic, 3.25 31 spline axle with Nodular case, power steering, power disc brakes, bucket seats, console, in dash tach, hidden headlights, heavy duty suspension, dual racing mirrors and rimblow steering wheel. All these options are verified by the Marti report. The laser stripes are not listed on the Marti but obviously they are correct and look fantastic. The Magnum 500’s are also not original but period correct. This Ranchero was owned by the same gentleman from 1975 until 2013. It was sold new in Everett, WA and spent its whole life within 15 miles of that dealer. It was repainted about 7 years ago in the correct white and has been driven sparingly since then. Paint is good driver quality and the car is straight with no dents or visual rust. Since it has not been driven there is really no chips or scratches to speak of. The paint in the bed was just a quickie spray since the previous owner was going to rhino line it but fortunately never got around to it. Hideaway grill is in nice condition. Chrome is decent but is original and not perfect. There are a couple small dings in the rear bumper. Glass is good. Laser stripes look very nice, however there is some fading on the tailgate stripe. It had lower quarters replaced when it was repainted but it looks like they did a pretty decent job. There is some bodywork showing in front of the left rear wheel down low. Not too noticeable unless you look close. Underside looks decent, it does have some rust on the floors on the driver's side. Some small holes in the driver's front floor and rear floor that look like they have been filled with something from above. There is a hole in the compartment under the bed on the driver's side that is accessible from the back of the cab, maybe the size of a baseball. Frame rails all look good.. Magnums look like new, rear tires are 245/60r15 and look like new, front tires are 235/60r15 look pretty good. The interior is original and needs to be restored. The upholstery is torn, dash is cracked and carpet is worn. Headliner is pretty good but is shrinking and pulling from the back window. Console is in pretty good shape. The non #’s matching 429 was rebuilt and has less than 5k miles, as was the C6 transmission. Motor runs great and trans works well. Has new Holley carb. It has headers and exhaust that exits in front of rear wheels .It’s a bit load and personally I would run exhaust all the way out the back. Original 3.25 nodular case 31 spline rearend is present and works well. Lights, tach, wipers, heater etc all work. Steering has quite a bit of play and I would recommend a steering box before driving it any distance. Hideaways would not stay down when car was shut off so I unhooked the spring (spring still there, you can reconnect it if you want), now the lights won't open. I think it needs a switch and I have included another one. Brakes work well. Other than the steering box this is ready to go. This is a very rare Ranchero and one that has had much of the expensive work already done. You can rebuild the steering box and drive and enjoy it as is or restore the interior and some other minor work and bring this to the next level. Either way you have a great looking, factory big block car for a fraction of the cost of most big block muscle cars. In fairness to all bidders I will not disclose my reserve. I reserve the right to end the auction at any time. Car is sold as is where is. I have done my best to describe it accurately but please understand that it is 40+ years old and still needs some restoration work done. It is available for inspection by appointment. International buyers welcome. Any bidder with a feedback rating of less than 10 must contact me before bidding or bid will be cancelled. Shipping is the responsibility of the buyer. Car must be paid for in full within 5 days of auction end (no paypal.) Car must be picked up within 21 days of auction end unless prior arrangements are made. |

Are we about to see a real SUV revival?
Wed, Mar 23 2016Now that the marketplace has been oversaturated with cute-utes, crossovers, and CUV coupes, are we about to see a resurgence of real, honest-to-God SUVs? Ummm... maybe. The stars seem to be aligning in that direction, at least that's the sense I'm getting. We know an all-new Jeep Wrangler is only a few auto shows away; and that Jeep is about to introduce a new Grand Cherokee Trailhawk for 2017, in the same rugged spirit of the successful Cherokee and Renegade Trailhawks. Ford has hinted at a neo-Bronco, after showing the concept above in 2014 to wet the mouths of all those Duck Dynasty-types out there. And, and... wait for it... I recently learned that Subaru sent a questionnaire out to some Forester owners asking if they might be interested in an off-road package if it were offered. The items listed were pretty hardcore, serious stuff, such as: integrated tow/recovery hooks, additional ground clearance, more rugged wheels, skid plates, altimeter, front-view off-road camera, improved approach and departure angles, advanced differentials, Inclinometer, full-size spare tire, upgraded off-road suspension components, more aggressive tires, off-road driving mode (engine, transmission, throttle, and steering settings), more rugged styling, low-range gearing, and a more advanced traction management system. Folks that's not my wish list (well, actually it is), but those are words from Subaru, asking if that's what customers would like to see. Need proof? Go to the SubaruForester.org website. It's in a discussion there. So... no promises or guarantees here, and feel free to call me a rumormonger if you like; but the next few years could prove very interesting for those who actually do go off road. If this pans out, remember, you read it here first. Related Video: Image Credit: Ford Ford Jeep Subaru Crossover SUV Off-Road Vehicles open road
Why Edmunds took a sledgehammer to its 2015 Ford F-150
Tue, Jan 27 2015The discussion around repair bills for the aluminum-bodied 2015 Ford F-150 pickup continued from the beginning of last year to the end, and haven't abated; as an aside, some Tesla Model S owners have been shocked at disquieting repair estimates for minor damage to their aluminum wunder-sedans. Edmunds decided to inject some fact into the fray: it bought a $52,000 long-term 2015 F-150 and clouted it with an eight-pound sledgehammer. Twice. The rear of the bedside took the impacts since it couldn't be replaced, it would have to be repaired. To the pickup's credit, the only reason associate editor Travis Langness hit it twice was that the first sledgehammer blow didn't do as much damage as Edmunds wanted. After the second, the visible damage included the two direct impacts, a few creases, and a cracked taillight, so they drove the pickup to Santa Monica Ford to get an estimate, complete with a fictitious story about how the damage occurred and the mercy plea that Langness was paying for the repair out-of-pocket. In Part 2 Langness hits on some of the details with getting the truck fixed, such as the massively expensive taillight and the list of tools Ford recommends dealers have to work on aluminum. But he was promised he'd have his truck back in seven days, and Santa Monica Ford got it back to him in seven days. In Part 3 we get the bill. It's not small, but it's quite a bit less than it could have been if the service manager had charged Edmunds the official labor rate for aluminum. We're not going to spoil it here, so check out the videos above and below for the beginning and the end, and head over to Edmunds for the complete story about how it all happened and some riffing on the repair numbers.
