 It is time to sell my Ranchero.  I bought a car, and I don't need 2 vehicles.  It is a great truck, it has the cool 72 torino nose.  I have owned it for 20 years.  I have fixed a bunch of little stuff on it, which makes it good deal for somebody who likes big block Ranchero's.  First I installed a 750 cold cranking amp battery. Standard tuneup , pertronic electric ignition, runs great.  It's a Ford and it does not leak oil.  Heavy duty C6 transmission.  New parts, water pump, starter, alternator, heater core, heater switch and heater motor.  Fixing the heater was a lot of fun.  Brakes are good, replaced a defective rotor, a leaking axle seal, replaced the front part of the dual exhaust, and topped off the rear end.  New  bushings on the front struts and new shocks.  Frame mounted trailer hitch.  I cleaned up the interior.  New seat upholstery, carpet, good condition padded dash, cleaned, detailed and reinstalled all the interior parts. A forty hour job!!!  New windshield.  I have bought  a 200 dollar set  of hood springs and I will adjust the hood properly.  As you can see, I have done a ton of work to my  Ranchero.  I have spent over 2000 dollars doing preventive maintenance.  It is a solid daily driver, looks fine with the satin blue finish, or you can take to to the next level.

Ford C-Max spied with fresh updates

Fri, 05 Sep 2014

The Ford C-Max hatchback looks to be getting a few cosmetic updates, as evidenced in this latest set of spy photos. Like the smaller Focus, which also received a nip/tuck for the 2015 model year, the C-Max appears to be getting a revised front fascia with slimmer headlamps and a more, shall we say, Aston Martin-like grille. Around back, there looks to be a new bumper with redesigned taillamps, as well.
In other markets, the C-Max people-mover is available with a range of powertrains, but here in the US, it exists either as a traditional gas-electric or plug-in hybrid. The C-Max's fuel economy has been a particular topic of interest lately, with its official fuel economy ratings having been lowered twice since the vehicle's launch. Sales initially suffered a bit following this fiasco, though numbers have since leveled out. It's unclear if Ford is working on any powertrain tweaks for the updated C-Max seen here, however.
Ford has likely spruced up the hatch's interior, as well, though we don't have photos of that at this time. Mum's the word on when we'll see the new C-Max, but our best guess is that it'll arrive sometime in the next year.

Ford set to target pre-school market with next F-150 variant

Tue, Jun 17 2014

How do you build a strong group of loyalists from the next generation of American drivers? You start em' young. Ford has taken that lesson to heart, as we can see in the first batch of images of the company's new entry to the pre-school market, the Power Wheels F-150. This particular example was caught returning from testing around Ford's base of operations in Dearborn, MI – covered in tiny little bits of camouflage, too. Now, this could very well end up being a collaboration between Power Wheels and Ford. Then again, it could just be some bored engineers that decided to troll the local congregation of spy photographers, who earlier today captured images of the next Focus RS and SVT Mustang. Whatever it is, it's pretty darn cool. Take a look up top for images of the new Power Wheels F-150.

Shelby boosts production of 575-hp Raptor on early demand

Mon, 08 Apr 2013

Shelby American unveiled its all-new Shelby Raptor at the New York Auto Show last month, saying that it would build just 100 examples of its off-road bad boy, a pickup priced at $17,995 over the cost of the donor Ford F-150 SVT Raptor. But the Las Vegas outfit apparently underestimated just how popular the supercharged 575-horsepower 4x4 would actually be.
Strong early demand reportedly has Shelby singing a whole new tune, as the company is now saying it will build upwards of 500 units annually. While the increased production will likely make for at least 400 more happy owners, those who were on the original short list - possibly speculating on future values - might not be grinning as much. Needless to say, the company has assured everyone that each and every one of the modified Raptors will still be listed in the official Shelby registry.
Keep in mind that Ford isn't sitting idle on its trophy-truck-for-the-street, either. The company will reveal its own 2014 F-150 SVT Raptor Special Edition this month.
