You are bidding on a 1971 Ford Ranchero 500 which came from the factory finished in Ford's best color, Calypso Coral.  It has been repainted once over the original paint in a slightly brighter shade of red which still shines and looks very nice.  In my opinion 1970 and 1971 were the pinnacle years for Ranchero and it's cousin, the Torino.


Here are some specific details:

-Factory H-code V8 car
-Rebuilt 1968 Torino GT 302 4v high compression performance engine featuring mild cam, 4v high-rise intake, Edelbrock carb, and headers; approximately 12K miles on rebuild
-Rebuilt 9" 3.50:1 Traction Lock rear end approximately 12K miles ago
-C4 automatic transmission and floor shifter
-Dual exhaust
-Power steering and power brakes
-Bench seat interior with black upholstery, door panels, and new carpet kit installed
-Chrome trim, stainless steel trim, and glass are all in good driver-quality condition
-New chrome Magnum 500 wheels with excellent Grand Am radial tires
-Power steering and power brakes with front discs
-GT hood
-Dual outside chrome racing mirrors
-Hideaway headlamp grill *(missing headlamp doors and mechanism; car ships with a nice standard grill as well)

The Ranchero runs very strong and drives out well.  While not perfect, it's reliable enough to get in and drive across the country.

The paint is what I'd call a 15-20 footer; looks good, shines well, but demonstrates some cracks, blemishes, and other age issues on close examination.  Still shines like mad in the sun and gets lots of attention!

The body is very straight overall, with only minor evidence of rust beginning to show in the rear wheel well area. 

I've priced the car fairly so someone can enjoy a cool, reliable, and good-looking classic without breaking the bank.  While every effort is being made to describe the car accurately, please keep in mind that it is a 42-year-old vehicle, and being sold as-is, without warranty expressed or implied.

Please feel free to call me with any specific questions you may have at 360-936-9257.

Shipping is the full responsibility of the buyer, however, I will make myself available to your shipper for pickup and loading.  Payment is to be made within 3 days of auction end by certified major bank cashier's check, bank wire transfer, or cash.  Zero-feedback bidders, please contact me prior to bidding to let me know you're a real buyer with good intentions.

Leno recalls '90s showdown with Tim Allen and his mullet

Wed, Oct 7 2015

Not many of us have buddies with garages full of classic cars, but that isn't the case for Jay Leno and Tim Allen. Of course, one of the advantages for two guys with such vast collections is occasionally getting to pit their cars against each other. The two comedians did just that in the mid-'90s with a burnout battle on The Tonight Show between Allen in a race-prepped Mustang and Leno in a drag racer. After some time away from regular television, Leno is returning to the airwaves with a Jay Leno's Garage series premiering on Oct. 7 (tonight) at 10:00 p.m. ET on CNBC. Let this clip serve as another taste of what to expect for the new TV show's mix of comedy and cars. After reminiscing about the old days in a gorgeous garage, the comedians get into two modern machines to reprise the classic challenge – after a little trash talk anyway. Don't worry because the YouTube series isn't going anywhere, though.

Chip Foose tastefully enhances his personal Ford GT

Wed, 05 Nov 2014

Typically, we'd expect a vehicle from 2006 to fall well short of a more modern vehicle, both in terms of performance and style. Of course, the Ford GT is not your average offering from the Bush era. That's doubly true when the 2006 GT in question belongs to one Chip Foose.
Purchased by his wife as a 50th birthday present, Foose is showing his custom, personalized GT at the 2014 SEMA Show. The 5.4-liter supercharged V8 breathes a bit easier thanks to a full Magnaflow Performance exhaust, but Foose's GT isn't all about the performance.
Instead, the car customizer extraordinaire has focused on tasteful aesthetic enhancement, tweaking the rear end by removing the bumper and trimming the frame extensions. The wheels, meanwhile, are one-off aluminum alloys, designed by Foose himself. Like the stripes, the wheels feature orange accenting.
