1978 Ford Ranchero with a V8 motor we think is a 351 Cleveland. You can look at the photo of the motor. We have a clean title in our possession. This car has been sitting for the last several years in a guy's yard here in Las Vegas. We got the motor to start and run and the car to move. We cannot guarantee it in any way shape or form. The odometer listed is the five digits showing on the speedometer. We do not know what the actual milage of the car is since its only five digits. We suspect any one who bought this would want to go through it as part of the restoration process. The glass seems fairly intact except the windshield does have a crack in it. -see the photo- The rear window looks like it was "gunked in" with some sort of glue.-see the photo- When we got the car it had a bunch of junk in the bed. After we cleaned it out, it left a lot of surface rust, but there are no cancer holes we can spot. In fact most of the sheet metal seems to be pretty straight and cancer free. We tried to take photos of the side to show what we believe is good shape. Nose seems to be complete and pretty good condition. Most of the chrome looks ok also. Rear Bumper has been whacked and is dented. We took a photo of the undercarriage to show the condition the frame and undercarriage is in. The frame looks straight and not eaten with rust. The car came with factory air but the compressor is missing. The headliner is dried out and sagging where the stiches are. Dash is dried and cracked. Seats are dry rotted from sitting in the sun, carpet also. We will be happy to show the car to anyone who is in Las Vegas from 8-5 Mon-Fri. It is in our yard at 2810 N Nellis Blvd. Please call 702-354-6723 to make other arrangements to see the car. Car is sold as is where is. Shipping is the buyer's responsibility. We will help load this car onto a transport truck.

How that awesome Mustang R/C car chase vid was made
Tue, 06 Aug 2013We've reported on a few R/C car chase videos in the past. One in particular that stands out as a favorite is Zach King's "The Cliché RC Action Chase." It featured a pair of Ford Mustang coupes racing through a cardboard city, plowing into outdoor patios and busting through construction zones. It was wonderfully creative and fun to watch, yet we know there was more to its creation than a bunch of guys fooling around with a camera one afternoon.
Turns out we were right, as evidenced by this video produced by Ford that takes us behind the scenes of Zach's creation. The young filmmaker explains why he chose the Mustang to star in his video, as well as how the cardboard sets were created, what equipment they used for shooting and what it was like when his video went viral. Ford found the young filmmaker and produced the followup as part of its Mustang Countdown video series, which will see a new video about the Mustang culture released every week until the original muscle car's anniversary on April 17, 2014.
Want to make an RC chase video of your own? Yeah, we do too. Watch the behind-the-scenes video below (you can refresh yourself on the mini feature film, too) before you get started.
Ford Fiesta becomes UK all-time best seller
Thu, 24 Jul 2014We may regard Ford as an American automaker, but ask a Brit and they may tell you otherwise. The Blue Oval has, after all, been selling cars in the UK since 1903, and started manufacturing there as far back as 1911 when it began local production of the Model T in Manchester. Last year Ford ended 100 years of vehicle manufacturing in the UK when the last Transit van rolled off the assembly line in Southampton, but it's still the biggest-selling automotive marque in Britain.
Ford has led the British market for 34 out of the past 45 years, selling more Fiestas than any other company sells any other car in the UK since 2009... when it overtook the Focus. In fact the Fiesta has now become the best-selling car in British history, topping 4,115,000 units since its introduction in 1976. The previous record was held by - you guessed it - another Ford: the Escort sold 4,105,961 units over the course of its 32 years on the British market.
Although the Fiesta is no longer manufactured in the UK (previous versions having been built at Dagenham until 2002), engines are: the EcoBoost line was developed at the company's R&D center in Essex and are built at the factory in Dunton, while its diesel engines were developed at Dagenham in East London. Even the 1.6-liter EcoBoost engine in the Fiesta ST is built in South Wales.
Watch this awesome R/C car chase scene made with cardboard and glue
Fri, 22 Feb 2013It never ceases to amaze us how much video production talent you can find on YouTube, especially when considering movies like Battleship actually exist on the silver screen. It's even better, of course, when cars are involved, which is why we can't stop watching this car chase between a pair of radio controlled Ford Mustangs.
Racing through a detailed set built in the middle of a public street using just "cardboard, hot glue and spray paint," this video is possibly even greater than The Greatest R/C Car Chase Ever that we saw last year. With the exception of a fruit stand and/or a plate-glass window being carried across the street, this has all the makings of a classic cliché chase scene.
Scroll down to watch the scaled-down action ensue as well as the full-scale conclusion.
