1971 Ford Ranchero on 2040-cars
Normal, Illinois, United States
This is a nice truck. You all know what a Ranchero is, a truck that rides and drives and looks like a car. The odometer on this one says 52127 but I can't guarantee that it is accurate. I am the third owner and can't vouch for the honesty of the first two owners but the nice condition of the truck would suggest that it may be close to the truth. Gas gauge and clock don't work. Has supplementary temp and oil pressure gauges. Bed cover fits well. Tailgate latch handle has a crack in it but works fine. Windshield washers don't work. No AC. New tires. I'm trying to think of what else to say. Email me with questions. The reason I'm selling this truck is that my wife (the little sweet heart) won't let me have more than one classic auto/truck at a time and I have my eye on another one. I have this for sale locally so could have to end the listing prematurely. Naturally this is for sale as is/where is with no warrantees/guarantees, etc. suggested or implied. Winning bidder has to arrange pick up/shipping and pay for same. Winning bidder must also send me a $1000 deposit via paypal within 48 hours following my acceptance of an offer and the balance must be paid via cashiers/bank check or wired directly to me bank.

Chip Foose tastefully enhances his personal Ford GT
Wed, 05 Nov 2014Typically, 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.
Here's what it's like to drive the very first Ford Mustang cop car
Thu, Jan 29 2015As we recently discovered, there's something different about driving a police car. That's true whether you're talking about a modern Dodge Charger Pursuit or, yes, the legendary Ford Mustang SSP. Former Autoblog staffer and current Road and Track web editor Zach Bowman discovered this when he shanghaied a 2015 Mustang GT and made the trip to Nashville, TN to drive the very first Mustang SSP police car. The two-tone, V8-powered prototype was delivered into the welcoming arms of the California Highway Patrol back in 1981 for evaluation. Bowman chatted up cop-car aficionado Mike Strinich, the prototype's current owner, and managed to score some seat time in the car, which provided a unique interesting contrast to the SSP's 435-horsepower junior. Head over to R&T for the complete read.
J Mays on the 2015 Ford Mustang
Thu, 05 Dec 2013J Mays, head of design at Ford, may be retiring from the company after 16 years, but not before showing the world his swan song: the 2015 Mustang. Ford officially revealed its new coupe and convertible to the public at events around the world on Thursday, including a live unveiling on ABC's Good Morning America, and Mays was in attendance at the automaker's home event in Dearborn, MI, which is where we caught up with him for a few words about his new baby.
"It's a joy" to design the Mustang, Mays told Autoblog, adding that this sixth-generation coupe is his "favorite design so far." Of course, the 2015 model takes cues from all of the generations that came before it, but Mays said it was important to edit down the specific elements from previous models, leaving just enough off to let the customer "participate and fill in the blanks."
"If it doesn't sell itself, you probably aren't a Mustang fan."
