1974 Ford Ranchero 500 Arizona One Family Owned + Phoenix Arizona No Reserve on 2040-cars

Year:1974 Mileage:46699
Location:

Once in a great while you get a chance to sell an exceptional RUST FREE Arizona Classic @ No Reserve.  We know this is risky, but also believe there are enough real buyers to make this worth it.  The story here is this, it was told to me that this Ranchero 500 was a NORTHERN ARIZONA "Supposed -Actual mile~ One owner~, or at least one family owned vehicle."  (SEE PICS AND MAKE YOUR ASSESSMENT PLEASE.)

We believe this to be true due to the uncanny originality of the vehicle, the lack of any drivers side seat wear, and having the Original Extra Vin plate and delivery tag in the vehicle.  The Gentlemans name is on it, but for privacy reasons it will be blurred.   The passenger window was being worked on and the original armrest and door skin come with the Ranchero. The items are not on the passenger door at present, but pictures of their quality is available.  WE believe the Powertrain to be a 351 Cleveland with Dual exhaust.  If it is a Windsor, its your lucky day...but I doubt it.


The Ranchero is missing part of one emblem and the dash is showing some signs of its submission to the desert summers, however the summers where she has been kept rarely reach 80 degrees!!

This makes this one a "BARN FIND ARIZONA TREASURE"!! This doesn't mean perfect, but it means great as it sits, no known leaks, runs good, etc.   The title will read box c, or unverifiable mileage.  This is due to the 5 digit odometer and exemption laws.   I believe it is actual, but I cant verify due to the title status.  Most dealers make trade in vehicles BoxC, when the vehicle is over 20 years old to avoid any liability.   I understand... 


I didn't take the pictures on a fancy Golf Course this time...... you will have to imagine how gorgeous Arizona is right now, but forgive the boring background.  It is in secured storage at this time.

These have sold anywhere from $6,500 to $12,000 in this type of shape, The PRICE is in your hands as this one is SELLING TO THE LAST, and ONLY THE LAST BIDDER.




CHECK OUT THE BED!!!

Jurassic Park made a big impact on these Jeep drivers

Thu, 12 Jun 2014

For a certain cohort of young folks, Jurassic Park is a touchstone film from their childhood. Not only did it play into practically every little boy's love of dinosaurs, the movie included some great action scenes and special effects that still hold up today. In its latest video, The Aficionauto takes a look the Jurassic Park Motor Pool, a California car club with over 40 fans who created replica vehicles from the iconic film.
The club is made up of an interesting cross-section of people. Many of them were Jeep Wrangler fans that already loved off-roading and Jurassic Park, and liked the idea of bringing them together. Like any close-knit club, it ends up being about community and people coming together to share their interests. It's quite a heartwarming video. Also, be sure to stay until the end because The Aficionauto teases a future Jurassic Park-themed vehicle. Scroll down to check out the motor pool.

Creations n' Chrome Top Notch Mustang is a one-of-a-kind fox

Thu, 07 Nov 2013

Is there a cooler car from the 1980s and early 90s to mod than a Fox-body Ford Mustang? No, there isn't. If you disagree with us, we suggest you have a look at this 1990 Mustang Coupe, which just might change your mind. Although considering just how extensively modified this car - the Top Notch Mustang from Creations n' Chrome - is, we wonder just how much Ford is left in this old pony.
It rides on a custom race tube chassis that weighs a scant 700 pounds, while carbon-fiber bits and bobs help lower the overall curb weight to a mere 2,400 pounds. When paired with supercharged, 5.0-liter, Aluminator V8 from Ford Racing, the results are, doubtlessly, exciting. 855 horsepower at the rear wheels and 667 pound-feet of torque are available from that force-fed V8 should be just plenty for this car's intended purpose of running in standing-mile competitions.
The Top Notch Mustang is more extreme than just weight savings and a big engine, though. That 5.0-liter is essentially in what's known as a front-mid layout - where the engine is actually behind the front axle. In this case, the 5.0-liter V8 is 17 inches further back than a factory Fox-body, for better weight distribution. As a result, the cabin has been completely overhauled. An SLA front suspension, wheels from HRE, Wilwood brakes and Sparco interior items round out the extensive list of mods.

United States drivers buying fewer Mexican-made cars

Tue, May 10 2016

Crossovers and pickup trucks are not only growing in market share, they're also more profitable than cars. A crossover on the same platform as a sedan retails for thousands more, despite similar components. It's one of the reasons we've seen automakers rapidly shifting production of their sedans and hatchbacks to Mexico, where cheap labor preserves the thin profit margins on these inexpensive vehicles. But as the market continues to shift in the United States, Mexico is getting burned by its lack of product diversity. The country's auto exports, which are heavy on cars, suffered a 16-percent drop last month, Automotive News reports. In total, year-over-year exports fell from 233,515 to 197,020 last month, while year-to-date exports are down by 7.4 percent, from 922,029 to 854,118. The number one culprit? America – which usually accounts for 75 percent of Mexico's exports – and its appetite for crossovers and pickup trucks bolstered by cheap gas prices. While Mexico does build some light truck models – AN specifically calls out the Ram 2500, Honda HR-V, GMC Sierra, and Toyota Tacoma as export leaders – the vast majority of vehicles rolling out of its factories are sedans and hatchbacks. In fact, the three biggest drops in Mexican exports came from companies whose south of the border factories only build cars – Ford (Fusion/Lincoln MKZ and Fiesta), Mazda (Mazda3), and Volkswagen (Golf and Jetta). Mexican Automotive Industry Association President Eduardo Solis told AN the export shortfall will likely be sorted out sooner rather than later, thanks to a pair of new factories – a Kia car factory and an Audi SUV plant – that are coming online by year's end. The two facilities will add around 100,000 vehicles to the country's export totals, which Solis said should leave the industry on the verge of breaking another export record in 2016. But how sustainable will these record-breaking years be? Slapping an "Hecho en Mexico" sticker on a new German SUV won't be enough to change the fact that Mexico's product mix is tilted too heavily towards body styles that are not growing in volume. Mexico's record-breaking export years probably aren't at an end, but we'd argue they're certainly under threat.
