1968 Ford Ranchero 500 If you have any questions please feel free to call me Mike at 623-465-0636 Current NADA low retail is $12,700 ; high retail is $19,300. Reserve is set FAR BELOW low retail. Please remember, this is a fully restored car. Original VIN & DATA PLATE decodes as: Trim -(5A)-500xl, Engine -K-(302 2v), Axle -5-(3.00 conventional), Trans -W-(C-4 automatic), DSO -72-(San Jose plant), Body -66B-(2-dr Ranchero), Color -B-(Royal Maroon), Build Date -Feb. 8, 1968 Here's the quick story on this car. I purchased this low mileage Ranchero from a college auto shop teacher (here in AZ) and this was their school project car. Car is an original rust free and all original sheet metal 500XL Ranchero that was originally purchased in central CA and had always lived there. Car had only 48K miles on it when it's original engine and trans were removed for a transplant into a '68 Mustang, sometime around 30 years ago. This Ranchero was destined for a future 428SCJ w/4-speed project, but that never happened. It SAT for all those years inside a barn in central CA, so shop teacher found it with weathered paint & interior and was purchased from original owner as is. A 1990 5.0 HO Mustang motor, and a freshly rebuilt (and date correct) '68 C-4 trans were installed. I do not know how many miles were on this current motor when procured and installed (it ran great so no one cared). A correct 2v carb & intake were installed in place of the 302HO's factory fuel injection. Surprisingly this set up works great and car runs excellent. As a long term school project, and in an effort to keep the car as close to factory correct as possible, this car was treated to all new correct Royal Maroon paint, all new reproduction interior (seats, carpet, headliner, GT door panels), new tires (Cooper radial GT 14"), and a beautiful set of REAL Shelby 14" dished aluminum wheels with center caps. Real Ford GT Hood scoop & GT front grill (not aftermarket) were installed, along with vintage fiberglass rear bed tonneau cover and all painted body colors as well. ALL stainless trim and chrome are original and very nice. Tasteful custom hand pin striping was layed down under the clear coating which also looks really nice. All new suspension-shocks-bushings-brakes were installed. All new hoses-belts-etc. in engine. Original steering box has NO play and is very tight. Power steering and power front disc brakes all rebuilt and replaced with new as necessary. Has a all new set of Hooker Headers along with all new 2" dual exhaust w/Dynaflow mufflers. Original dash is excellent and uncut including original AM radio. A custom console installed on floor under dash holds drink cups, and Amp-Oil-Water temp guages. Also holds a CD disc stereo with new speakers installed, but the faceplate got lost so stereo is now worthless and will need to be replaced. All original rust free sheetmetal and low mileage chassis Rancheros are extremely hard to find. Because of the extremely low mileage of this chassis, there were almost no dents in the OEM sheet metal so VERY LITTLE body filler was needed anywhere. Paint job is a solid 8 out of 10 which looks great from 5 feet away, but when you get really close you can see some hazing in the clear coat. Blocking was decent, but in all honesty this car is solid DRIVER quality, and NOT a concourse show car. Drive this car every day and have a ball with it. Nice enough to take to any car show and get a trophy. I have way too many cars & bikes otherwise I'd just keep it and enjoy it, and if it doesn't sell here than that's exactly what I'll do. It would be very hard to duplicate this car for anywhere near my buy it now price. ONLY ISSUES I CAN SEE: Starter motor is tired, but still works just fine and car starts easily. A NEW REBUILT starter motor INCLUDED (boxed) for you to install if ever needed. HEATER disconnected due to slight leakage detected. I can't see water yet but I could faintly smell coolant when heater was turned on, so I'm assuming it will need a new heater core eventually. Original Shelby American center caps included in bag (see photo). American Racing center caps installed on to Shelby wheels now because their chrome is better, but these are REAL VINTAGE 14" SHELBY deep dish polished aluminum wheels and they are beautiful. Also including lots of various bits, and a quart of the maroon paint used for future touch ups if ever needed. Please call me or email me for any additional questions. INTERNATIONAL BUYERS: I can ship out of country for you. Please inquire for prices. I also have a very nice '73 F-100 4x4 for sale at another auction. DOMESTIC BUYERS: I can arrange shipping to anywhere in the lower 48 states USA for $400-$1000. Free local pick up or arrange your own shipping IF YOU PREFER (please). Or, fly in to Phoenix Intl. airport and I'll meet you there when your flight arrives. Drive it home. Payment accepted via cash in person, personal check, cashiers check, bank wire transfer. PAYPAL ACCEPTED FOR DEPOSIT OF $250 ONLY. PAYPAL NOT ACCEPTED for balance of purchase price. Car does not leave my possession until all funds have cleared my bank. THANKS FOR LOOKING.

Reflecting on the Ford GT on its 10-year anniversary
Thu, 10 Apr 2014Ten years ago, during the bright-eyed enthusiasm of the early 2000s and before the collective automotive industry did its best Titanic impression, we had the Ford GT. An everyman's supercar like there'd never been (remember, this was before 638-horsepower Corvettes were a thing), the GT arrived with a supercharged, 5.4-liter V8 that produced 550 horsepower and graced this retro-styled rocket with an easy, sub-four-second sprint to 60 miles per hour.
Equal to the GT's performance were its looks. Inspired by the GT40 racers that dominated Le Mans and bested Ferrari in the 1960s, the sleek, low, almost-reptilian look of the GT was the absolute pinnacle of the retro styling that so defined the early 2000s.
Crank and Piston put together a video celebrating the ten-year-old GT, arguing that Ford is a bit too busy with the next-gen Mustang, which turns 50 next week, to do it themselves. In the short clip, there is gratuitous engine noise and supercharger whine, not to mention scenes of the white-on-red GT prowling the deserts and streets of Dubai. It's a bit short, but very nicely shot. Scroll down, have a look and be sure to turn up those speakers before getting started.
Trucks, SUVs drive U.S. October new vehicle sales
Wed, Nov 1 2017DETROIT — Major automakers posted mixed U.S. new vehicle sales in October on Wednesday, though America's love affair with high-margin pickup trucks and SUVs remained in full bloom as larger, pricier vehicles fared better than passenger cars. Auto industry publication WardsAuto put the seasonally-adjusted annualized rate (SAAR) for light vehicle sales in October at a robust level of 18 million units. But after a long boom cycle, carmakers are still ill-prepared for the slight decline in sales anticipated for full-year 2017 and have taken too few steps to trim production, said Doug Mehl, a partner in consultancy A.T. Kearney's automotive practice. "When you make a new vehicle, you have volume assumptions tagged to it, and who wants to be the guy who says, 'I'm going to make less of this really cool model'?" Mehl said. "But eventually the market is the reality, and it's going to force companies one way or other here." General Motors GM reported a sales drop of 2.2 percent for the month, with consumer sales down 6.6 percent. But sales of high-margin pickup trucks, sport utility vehicles and crossovers all rose. GM also cut its inventory of unsold vehicles — a source of concern for the market — slightly. The automaker has worked to reduce its volume of excess inventory, including through significant production shutdowns in the third quarter. GM had said its inventory would rise in October. "We are heading into the fourth quarter with good momentum, thanks to a strong U.S. economy and very strong pickup and crossover sales," said Kurt McNeil, GM vice president for U.S. sales operations. GM slightly reduced consumer discounts as a percentage of average transaction prices to 13.5 percent, from 13.7 percent in the third quarter. Industry experts believe consumer discounts above 10 percent of the average transaction price are unhealthy as they erode resale values and are unsustainable in the long term. Consultants J.D. Power and LMC said last week that based on preliminary October sales numbers, discounts have exceeded 10 percent in 15 of the past 16 months. Ford The U.S. auto industry posted record sales of 17.55 million vehicles in 2016. New sales received a strong boost in September as consumers replaced vehicles damaged in southeast Texas by Hurricane Harvey the previous month. Full-year 2017 sales are expected to be slightly lower than 2016.
Ford nets $5.7B in 2012, $1.6B in fourth quarter
Tue, 29 Jan 2013Ford brought in $5.7 billion in net income during 2012, which is around $307 million less than one year prior. Even so, the automaker closed out 2012 with the highest pre-tax profit for a single quarter in nearly 10 years, earning $1.7 billion in the fourth quarter thanks largely to a higher-than-average truck mix in the US. That's a jump of $577 million over 2011. Likewise, that translated into fourth quarter income of $1.6 billion. All told, Ford set a full-year pre-tax profit record in 2012. But that doesn't necessarily mean everything is rosy in the land of the Blue Oval.
Like every other manufacturer, 2012 saw Ford get hammered in the European Union, where a deep economic recession continues to drive down consumer confidence. The automaker lost more than $700 million in Europe, and saw full revenue of $26.6 billion in 2012. That's a decline of $7.2 billion compared to last yea. Ford says the market for new vehicles in Europe has contracted to 13.5 million units, the lowest number in 17 years. You can read the full press release below for more information.
