I have for sale a Rare 1971 Ford Ranchero "Squire" with the wood grain decals along the bottom on the rockers and on the gate, not like the traditional Squire has across the sides of the car.

This car came from Northern California and remains in the same town that it has been in since New. I am the third owner of the car. An elderly man bought the car new locally and when he couldn't drive any longer he sold it to one of his neighbors that did some work on it like put a new t5 Mustang 5 speed transmission and new clutch, he then died and his wife sold it. Transmission works great and has no issues.

The engine is a numbers matching 302 ci small block V8 that was an original 2bbl and I have now up graded it to a Edelbrock intake and Carb. along with aluminum Edelbrock valave covers. I have also recently replaced the points and condensor. runs good.

The car has stock exhaust and is very quite.

The body is very straight and has only surface rust, as the second owner decided to strip part of the paint with paint stripper and then passed away before he do much more with it, I would have done something with it but I think it has great Patina. The only rust through was in the rear floor area that has all been cut out and welded in with the correct gauge sheet metal. No other Rot is apparent.

The rolling stock consists of a set of Mustang 17" Bullet wheels with decent tires. Along with wheel spacers and longer studs to accomodate the wheel spacers.

The interior has a new black carpet kit and leather bucket seats the driver is power but I have yet to hook it up permanently but works fine. Has original seat belts. The dash had cracks so it has a cover on it.

On the back there is a rare piece for this car and that's the camper shell or topper, I have the side windows for it but no rear hatch. it is in fine shape otherwise.

The car holds a clean California title and is registered with its original blue and yellow plates till Oct 2014.

I have all of the original parts for this gem like the original seat, carb/intake set up and air cleaner I do not have the original transmission.

Buyer is responsible for local pick up and/ or setting up shipping arrangements. I expect a $1000.00 non refundable deposit within 24hrs of close of Auction.

This is your chance to buy a solid California Ranchero that they only made this style two years. Good Luck.

Ford idling Michigan Assembly Plant to trim Focus, C-Max supply

Tue, 22 Oct 2013

Ford will be putting the brakes on production at its Michigan Assembly Plant in Wayne, MI, idling production during the weeks of October 28 and December 16. Ford is citing the first drop in US sales in 27 months, a 4.2-percent dip in September, as the impetus for trimming their supplies, according to Automotive News.
Ford's deft management of its supplies has been part of its success over the years, and seeing supplies of Focus and C-Max, the two vehicles built at MAP, rise from 58 and 108 days, respectively, to 71 and 122 days over the span of a month was apparently all that was need to justify the trimming. As AN points out, the rule of thumb for many automakers is to maintain a 60-day supply of vehicles.
"Ford has been focused on keeping their pricing in check. Their operating margin is in double digits. Nobody else is there and they're obviously very proud of that," Alan Baum, an auto analyst with Baum & Associates told AN. Keeping the supply chain operating smoothly and not increasing supplies too much is crucial to that healthy profit margin. After all, a large supply lowers prices ,which, in turn, cuts profit. So while this news might not be great for employees at MAP, who now have an extra two weeks of vacation time, it's far from a sign of problems in Dearborn. Quite the opposite, actually.

2015 Ford Mustang production starts in Flat Rock

Thu, 28 Aug 2014

Today's the day, Ford fans. Production has officially commenced on the sixth-generation 2015 Mustang at the company's Flat Rock, MI factory. As production ramps up, sales should kick off in the coming months.
The production news isn't just a bit deal for American fans. With the new Mustang getting a bespoke right-hand-drive variant, the pony car's worldwide availability has swollen to include 120 different countries, including its home nation.
"Mustang is and will continue to be an automotive icon," Joe Hinrichs, Ford's president of the Americas, said in a statement. "Expanding its availability globally affords our customers around the world the opportunity to have a true firsthand Mustang experience - one unlike any other."

Ford, Ram in heavy-duty towing spat

Mon, 28 Jul 2014

Every pickup truck commercial has the brand trying to convince us that its model is the biggest, brawniest vehicle on the block. But Ford and Ram appear ready to really throw down the gauntlet and scrap over the towing figures for their heavy-duty models, and it could potentially end up in court.
The issue revolves around what it means to be best in class. Ford claims that its 2015 F-450 (pictured above) has a max tow rating of 31,200 pounds, compared to 30,000 pounds for the Ram 3500 (right). However, both companies market these heavy haulers as having the top towing in their class. According to Automotive News, Ford is threatening legal action if Ram doesn't back down.
The situation isn't as simple as just comparing the numbers, though. First, the two companies calculate their towing capacities differently. Ram adheres to the SAE J2807 rating, while Ford uses its own internal system. Although, as the company introduces new models, they are certified using the SAE standard. "When an all-new F-Series Super Duty is introduced, it also will use SAE J2807," said Ford to Autoblog in an emailed statement.
