Up for auction is a very nice 79 Ranchero GT. I am selling it to make room for the two El-Camino's I bought. I already own a 78 ranchero squire model so I decided to let one of the two go and this is the nicer of the two so I'll try selling it first. It has a two year old paint job with the factory gt striping. Rally wheels with trim rings and center caps. Tires are good. The interior is very nice with the full instrument dash and factory gt wheel. Door panels are nice as is the carpeting and mats. Headliner is almost new and perfect. Dual remote mirrors are good but don't adjust from the cables inside. I believe that when the car was painted, the person putting the door panels back on didn't get the adjuster cables put back in the right position so they are binding up.. Should be easy enough to pull the door panels and re position the cables so as they operate freely. It has factory power windows but no power locks. Am/fm cassette radio. All the exterior trim and emblems are present and in good shape. It is equipped with a class 3 hidden trailer hitch. Engine is the 351 M block sometimes mistaken as the Cleveland engine because it's also produced at the Cleveland engine plant. Dual exhaust. Three speed auto trans with column shift. The lights, signals, wipers are in good working order. I have owned this vehicle for just over a year and put nearly 500 miles on it since purchase. Mainly classic auto shows here in Florida. It runs very well. As it is a 34 year old vehicle, it naturally has a few issues but none that will keep you from jumping right in and going for a cruise. The a/c compressor broke the first time I took it to a car show. I believe the piston broke inside the compressor as it turns about half way and locks up. I took the belt off for now. The brakes have a slight shudder when braking sharply. The front rotors are out of round and should be turned on a brake lathe or replaced. They are not expensive. The speedo cable broke a couple of months ago so there is a couple of hundred miles more on the car than the odometer is now showing. That is available on e-bay for not too much money. I went to a car show last week and was too lazy to hand wash the car and ran it through a brushless car wash. Well, the radio antennae snapped off almost immediately upon entering the wash. It snapped right at the base where it passes through the fender bezel. The bezel was not damaged nor any damage to the fender or paintwork. I took it up to the annual Mustang and Ford roundup hosted by NPD last January and it rode very nice up the expressway. Vehicle will be sold as-is with no warranty offered or implied. If this one doesn't sell, I may offer the 78 Squire model for sale next.

Four Wheeler crowns Ultimate Factory 4x4... who wins?
Thu, 15 Nov 2012Nearly every automaker doing business in the SUV or pickup truck segments offers a package designed to improve the off-road capabilities of its wares. But, of course, not all such factory kits are created equal. How, then, to separate the wheat from the chaff? Gather each of them up and put them through their paces, naturally.
The folks from Four Wheeler and PickupTrucks.com joined forces to run just such a comparison test, with the winner named the Ultimate Factory 4x4. A total of seven vehicles showed up to the fight: the 2012 Ford F-150 SVT Raptor, 2013 Jeep Wrangler Rubicon, 2012 Nissan Frontier PRO-4X and Xterra PRO-4X, 2012 Ram Power Wagon, and 2012 Toyota 4Runner Trail and Tacoma TRD T|X Baja Series.
With the contestants in place, the whole crew put each vehicle through a battery of tests that included skidpad and acceleration measurements, a hillclimb, a rocky stairstep course and a rock garden. Considering the nature of the beasts, on-road ride and comfort were not part of the routine.
Social media star Scott Monty leaves Ford
Thu, 22 May 2014It seems weird to think that an automaker could have a social media star, but Ford does. Or at least it did. Scott Monty, its Global Digital Communications Manager, led the company's team for almost six years and forged a reputation as being one of the most talented people in corporate social media. But the guru recently announced that he would be leaving the automaker for an undisclosed job elsewhere.
"I just decided the time was right. I am going to take a little time with my family, and I am going to start on a new adventure pretty soon," said Monty in an interview with AdWeek. He also explained a little about his theory of how companies should use social media. In his opinion, it should be a chance to go beyond standard marketing and build a relationship with people. Businesses need to have a broad focus for its online message, and using just one service isn't enough to be successful.
Under his guidance, Ford expanded its Facebook presence significantly. According to AdWeek, it launched the 2010 Explorer on the popular site. Also, when the company wanted to investigate selling electric models, it initially gauged the public's reaction on Facebook and then advertised them there first. Monty has been a major supporter of Twitter as well to broaden the company's communication with the public.
Top Gear pits Hennessey VelociRaptor vs. Range Rover Sport SVR
Fri, Jun 5 2015As a television series, Top Gear is in limbo with an intent to return, but no hosts yet. However, it's magazine and website continue to bring us clips like this one. While the video might lack the show's charismatic hosts, this is an opportunity to see a drag race between a Land Rover Range Rover Sport SVR with 550 horsepower and a Hennessey VelociRaptor with 623 hp. The duel between these two supercharged V8s definitely sounds great. Both rugged models start at the line growling angrily at each other like dogs ready for a fight. You have to watch the clip to see whether the more powerful VelociRaptor feeds on the SVR, though.
