You are viewing my 1978 Ford Ranchero GT. I purchased 2 years ago from a dealer in Kansas. since my possesion i have purchased and installed brand new Ridler brand Wheels 18x9,,18x8.5, torq thrust "D" style wheels wrapped in Nitto NT555 Tires (front 245/45/ZR18,) (rear 275/40/ZR18) since installing the wheels & tires i have only driven the car approx. 150 Miles. I also installed white face gauge inserts on the instrument cluster. it looks like a 2002 model instead of a 1978. engine is a bone stock 351 Windsor 2 barrel, w/ c4 automatic. 3.00 gear 9" rear end. Mileage shows 89456. I do NOT know if it is 100,000 + or not. the body is in very good condition, there is some bubbles of decay behind the drivers side rear wheel well. The paint is not original, as the car lot " original owner family", said they had it repainted in 1989. so it is missing the "GT" part of the stripe.The car runs greatand drives just as good. The bench seat has some rips on the drivers side(Power Seat) It is my 6th Ranchero, I love the vehicle, i just do not have the expendable income to do what i want to with it. i discovered some body filler on the hood under some flaking paint, all in all a very solid car.i looked at a dozen in Oklahoma, Texas, & Kansas,

Mulally will stay close to Ford after he steps down, plans to advise Fields [w/video]
Fri, 27 Jun 2014Ford CEO Alan Mulally has less than a week left in his role of leading the Blue Oval before he hands off duties to Mark Fields on July 1. It doesn't look like Mulally is going to be shuffling off into his retirement anytime soon, though. The 68-year-old is being rather secretive about his next move, but he tells Bloomberg in a recent interview that he plans to stay close to Ford. Also, if Fields wants to ask for any advice, Mulally is happy to help.
Mulally took over at Ford in 2006 and led the company through a seriously rough patch in the auto industry. According to Bloomberg, he became famous or his Thursday meetings where executives were forced to deal with any problems before they could leave. Since announcing his retirement from Ford in May, Mulally has been insuring a smooth transition of power by traveling the world to all of company's major locations and saying goodbye to employees and dealers.
In terms of the future at Ford, Mulally doesn't predict any big changes in management style because the rest of the executive team is staying in place. He believes that Fields is going to maintain the processes already in place to keep things going. After all, it seems to be working. The company is predicting a return to profitability in Europe next year and is opening 88 new dealers in China. If the business could get its recalls under control, things could get even better.
Which is more fuel efficient, driving with a pickup's tailgate up or down?
Tue, 26 Aug 2014
Thanks to the smoke wand in the wind tunnel, you can actually see the difference in our video.
Should you drive with your pickup truck's tailgate up or down? It's an age-old controversy that's divided drivers for decades. Traditionalists will swear you should leave the tailgate down. Makes sense, right? It would seem to let the air flow more cleanly over the body and through the bed. But there's also a school of thought that argues trucks are designed to look and operate in a specific manner, and modern design techniques can help channel the airflow properly. So don't mess with all of that: Leave the tailgate up.
This unique '64 Mustang was Edsel Ford II's first car
Thu, 02 Jan 2014You probably had the same dream when you were a teenager. Your sixteenth birthday is coming up, or Christmas, or maybe both, and all you want is a muscle car to call your own. That dream has come true for some, and one of them was none other than Edsel Ford II.
Henry Ford's great grandson turned 16 on December 27, 1964 - two days after Christmas and eight months after the original Mustang went on sale. And that's just what was waiting for him in the driveway, courtesy of his father (and reigning chief executive) Henry Ford II.
The specially-prepared pony car had a pearlescent cream paintjob with narrow blue racing stripes, functional hood scoop, chrome trim, Euro-spec fender-mounted mirrors, a blue leather and aluminum interior, a monogrammed fuel cap... and a 289-cubic-inch V8 under the hood.
