1977 FORD RANCHERO, V8, 351 WINDSOR, AUTOMATIC

I haven't owned her a very long time. I bought her from a teenager who had tried to supe her up some. He took off all the California smog parts and air conditioning but, then couldn't get her registered. I bought her put her back together and she passed smog last April. She is running strong and fast and will lay out some rubber pretty easily. In addition to replacing the smog and air condition parts, I have replaced the water pump, radiator, thermostat, front disc brakes and rotors. It has just under 97,000 original miles, pretty good tires all the way around and a spare though 1 tire is mismatched from the others as far as brand, the battery is fairly new. All that being said, this is a 37 year old car and is "SOLD AS IS". Though the stuffing is not yet showing or coming out the top, the leather seats are splitting at the seams, the headliner is shot and coming apart, a couple of splits in the dashboard, several scratches in the paint, small ding on tailgate, some body work on the side top supports. It doesn't overheat or leak any oil, transmission or radiator fluids. The air conditioner had a small leak. The registration is due 28th of this month and is $180.00

I had hoped to paint her, fix the interior and put some really nice rims on but, I have other vehicles and bills I need to pay. Opening bid is what they will give me to scrap her. Sure would hate to do that to this classic but, I can't keep her. This is local pick up only. I will deliver (drive her) to you anywhere within a 25 mile radius of San Jose, California

This Or That: Fiat 500 Abarth vs. Ford Fiesta ST [w/poll]

Thu, 21 Aug 2014

They're pretty darn similar. And yet our views are oh so different.
If you guys could read the transcripts of our editors' chat room, you'd know that we're a pretty argumentative bunch. It's always good-spirited stuff (well, usually), but when we're not obsessively covering this or that, we're usually fighting about one car being better than another. We're all enthusiasts here, and our automotive tastes run the gamut from the weird and unusual to the decidedly mainstream - we all feel strongly about specific cars in a given segment. While it usually makes for good conversation, if we're passionate enough, it can turn into a tomato-throwing showdown.

The big dune jump and the damage done

Mon, 20 May 2013

The Silver Lake sand dunes see their fair share of well-built trophy trucks executing impressive jumps. Drivers build insane pieces of machinery for the express purpose of sailing through the air like mad men and women.
Mike Higgins is no stranger to the area. His heavily modified Ford trophy truck has gone flying through the sky on more than one occasion, but he recently bit off more than he could chew. After hitting a particularly lofty dune, Higgins went airborne for a ridiculous 180 feet before becoming intimately familiar with the finer points of gravity.
While Higgins nailed the jump, his landing fell short of wowing the judges. The impact very nearly broke his truck in two. Despite the mechanical mayhem, the driver walked away without a scratch, proving that occasionally miracles really do happen. You can check out the jump and the subsequent destruction below for yourself. Be warned: there's a fair bit of foul language.

2021 Ford Mustang Mach-E, Volvo XC40 Recharge score high in IIHS tests

Thu, Apr 22 2021

New electric cars continue their streak of impressive crash test results. The two latest to go through Insurance Institute for Highway Safety testing are the 2021 Ford Mustang Mach-E and the 2021 Volvo XC40 Recharge. The former earned a Top Safety Pick award, and the latter picked up the Top Safety Pick+ commendation. Both vehicles got the top "Good" rating in every crash test, as well as the "Superior" rating for vehicle-to-vehicle collision prevention. They deviate when it comes to headlights and vehicle-to-pedestrian collision prevention. Because the Volvo has headlights rated "Good" on all trims, it got that extra "+" on its Top Safety Pick award. The Ford also has high-rated headlights available, but the standard units got the second lowest rating of "Marginal." As for the vehicle-to-pedestrian collision prevention, the Volvo received the second-highest "Advanced" rating, while the Ford was rated "Superior." Among the electric cars IIHS has tested, the Ford and Volvo continue a streak of high scores. The organization has evaluated the Audi E-Tron in both its body styles, as well as the Tesla Model 3, both of which get the Top Safety Pick+ rating. As a result of the XC40 Recharge's test score, Volvo pointed out that it is the only automaker whose entire lineup has received a Top Safety Pick+ rating.
