True Story: (what happened to me of course every car guy dreams of; maybe more on the lines of a 58 Corvette or a 50 Merc or a all steel duece but alas it was a ranchero). I am standing in line at the auto parts store one day back in 2010 and a woman comes up behind me a casually says, " you look like a car guy!? I have a car you might be interested in!?" (Of course in milleseconds my mind raced over the possibilities). She goes on to tell me that her father recently passed away and she had been named executor of the estate and was liquidating all of her families assets which included numerous cars of which there was only one left and it was what she felt to be the best one (now my mind is REALLY GOING!); a 1977 Ford Ranchero GT (my mind went "too new for me", bummer, oh well) as she kept on into her speel about it having been bought by her dad for her mom in 1977 (I have the original reg.) and she used it primarily on their 600 acre horse ranch running hay from one barn to another and then occasionally into town for groceries. Mom got sick and quit driving in 96 and passed away in 98. The car basicly sat on the ranch with virtually no use until dad passed away. Oh and it only has just over 25000 miles! Well, now I AM INTERESTED cuz if the price is right this could be a good investment! We went out and I checked it all out and it certainly was clean and original except that it had a recent paint job. She indicated that dad had it resprayed after it sitting in one of the barns for 12 years and was planning on driving it when he then got sick. Anyways, we dickered back and forth and I felt sorry for her predicament so, here we are.. I have spent the last couple of years with her but there truly has only been one owner of this car in my mind, me just being a temperary caretaker.
The first thing I did was take it to my mechanic where he drained and flushed the engine, trans rear end and radiator and replaced all the fluids with ne. Then he removed and replaced all the radiator hoses, vaccuum hoses and belts. He also drained the a/c and replace the o-rings and recharged it with new gas. New plugs and wires and a carb rebuild and it was set for smog certification and tags.
I have put 3000 miles on it in 3 years, replaced the carb and the fuel pump. Also had to replace the voltage regulator. I had to plug one tire and I replaced the headliner with a factory replacement. I also patched the passenger side interior door jamb because of a mouse nest built inside the fender back when it sat idle. The air compressor took a dump last year and I have not replaced it but I am such an honest car guy that I will discount the selling price 150.00 for a replacement. The only thing not repaired is a non working gas gauge and clock.
This car rides like a Cadillac; no joke! It drives easily with one finger and the brakes are strong and smooth. The paint is a beautiful 5 footer, having its minimal amount of stone chips but not one dent in the entire exterior of the body except for two nickel sized dents on the back bed area; one on the back wall and one in the tailgate area. For any of you lucky enough to live in a smog free state? This car is ripe for enhancements!
The current value pricing on this car in the NADA Guide is: Low;6020 Avg.;13785 High;21050
This car easily falls into the Avg. class but I am setting the reserve MORE THAN HALF below that. Don't bother me with asking about it. I figure that I can make alittle on this car and let the next guy enjoy it and be able to make something off of it too. I'm all about enjoyable experiences when it come to cars. I certainly reserve the right to cancel this auction at any time as I have the car for sale elsewhere also.
Hurry while you can for THIS CAR WILL SELL because I am not being stingy and I don't need to sell it!!! Take this opportunity to pick something up that you can get some enjoyment out of and still make a profit! It don't get no better than that!

Watch Piquet and Mansell bend some sheetmetal in Ford Fusion GP
Tue, 12 Feb 2013As we told you about before, there were four episodes planned for the Ford Fusion GP campaign in Brazil, and the whole series has now run its course. The Ford ads pit Brazilian Formula One driver Nelson Piquet against English F1 pilot Nigel Mansell driving the new Fusion, the two coming together again after their partnership at the Williams F1 team ended in a miserable state more than 20 years ago.
They're lined up for you below, in reverse chronological order. You should watch number three first, though, as it adds a bit more spice to the NASCAR action in the fourth.
Martin Smith retires, Joel Piaskowski in as Ford Europe design chief
Thu, 29 May 2014The mind behind the look of much of the modern Ford global range is retiring. Martin Smith, Head of Ford Design in Europe, will give up his position on July 1 and will leave the company altogether at the end of the year. He will be replaced by current Strategic Concepts Group leader Joel Piaskowski (pictured above).
Smith has led Ford of Europe design for the past 10 years, and he was partially responsible for the brand's Kinetic Design language with a large grille and swept-back headlights found on the Focus, Fiesta and C-Max, as well as several other vehicles abroad. After stepping down on July 1 until his retirement at the end of 2014, Smith will work on a project to decide the future direction of the company's look with Moray Callum, its vice president of design.
Piaskowski already has some impressive credentials in terms of automotive design as well. He joined Ford in 2010 as director of exterior design and led the teams responsible for the 2015 Ford Mustang and next-generation F-150. He was also previously design director at Ford Asia Pacific. Before working at the Blue Oval, Piaskowski held positions at Mercedes-Benz, Hyundai and General Motors. Scroll down to read the complete announcement of this changing of the guard.
Ford ST Octane Academy [w/video]
Wed, 04 Jun 2014
The ST school is about more than just handbrake turns, hot laps, and sliding into parking spaces.
I felt like such a rock star. On my second pass around the UrbanCross course (read: fancy autocross) at the Ford ST Octane Academy, I absolutely nailed the exit, sliding the bright-yellow Focus ST sideways into a box the size of a parking space, all four wheels in line.
