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.

2015 Ford Mustang potentially 'leaked' by Car and Driver
Mon, 28 Oct 2013Few upcoming debuts have been as eagerly anticipated as the all-new Ford Mustang that's expected to debut shortly as the Mustang's 50th anniversary year approaches. Well, Car and Driver magazine would have us wait no longer as it claims to be leaking Ford's new global pony car early.
Of course what you're looking at is just as likely to be a composite rendering based on what C/D projects the new Mustang to look like, but to our eyes it looks spot on. Combining design traits from the Evos Concept with classic Mustang signatures and Ford's Aston-inspired grille treatment, C/D's images - including a complete 360-degree digital navigator - show a Mustang not only for the modern era, but also for global distribution, taking a quintessentially American car to markets its predecessors were never designed for.
Those global considerations are expected to spell the demise of the outgoing Mustang's holdout live rear axle in favor of an independent suspension, and a slight constricting of the exterior dimensions. And thanks to a separate leak, coming from a digital survey, we have apparent confirmation of what will power the new pony car. While the existing 3.7-liter V6 and 5.0-liter V8 engines will apparently carry over with only slight adjustments in output, the survey confirms a new 2.4-liter turbo four will be positioned in between them, offering slightly more power than the V6 but markedly improved fuel economy for a manageable $560 premium over base.
Bacon-wrapped Ford Fiesta hams it up for International Bacon Day
Wed, 28 Aug 2013This is a bacon-wrapped Ford Fiesta. It is a real thing, that a real, multi-billion-dollar company designed. And it isn't even April Fools' Day. Designed for International Bacon Day, which is also apparently a thing, the 2014 Fiesta is finished in Green Envy paint - we're told black paint, like the color of a skillet, made the car look camouflaged - and features 10 gigantic decals depicting strips of tender, cured bacon.
The design, which was approved by the CEO of Benton's Country Hams, Allan Benton, show off the depth of Ford's Custom Graphics program. Unbelievably, Ford will actually start offering bacon decals to everyday customers, including (and we can't believe we're writing this) dual bacon racing stripes which will no doubt have Carroll Shelby spinning and/or salivating in his grave, and a "side of bacon," which wraps a couple of strips over the rear wheels.
Benton, who Ford claims is the King of Bacon, had this to say: "This car just makes so much sense." The Fiesta's marketing manager, Liz Elser added, "It's just awesome to drive down the road in a piece of bacon."
2015 Ford Mustang prototype spotted on the street
Mon, 10 Jun 2013Our trusty spy photographers have snapped the first photos of the 2015 Ford Mustang prototype out on public streets. With nearly every square inch of the machine covered in heavy camouflage, it's difficult to discern details, but we can see smallish horizontal headlamps at work in the coupe's nose. Ford has made it clear that modern lighting technology will allow the company to get away from large, expensive headlamp arrays in the near future, and the 2015 Mustang may very well be the first of the automaker's products to bow with the new tech. The philosophy was first displayed on the very attractive Evos Concept.
The extensive cladding doesn't extend all the way to the prototype's rockers in the instance, giving us a look at the heavily-sculpted sills. Overall, this test car looks considerably smaller than the current generation Mustang, and elements like a short front overhang and beefy dual-piston calipers give us plenty of hope for the future model. Of course, reports that the 2015 Mustang will bow with an independent rear suspension and EcoBoost power certainly don't hurt our feelings, either.
