1977 Ford Ranchero GT, Automatic, Air Conditioning, 351 "Windsor" V8. This car is fast and will lay out some rubber. It isn't terribly loud but has a nice rumble with it's dual exhaust.

I bought this car from a teenager that had removed all the smog components and air conditioning and put on aftermarket parts but, then couldn't get it registered or smogged again. I bought it just for fun while my regular daily driver was having major repairs. I ended up doing some major repairs to this.

It does need some work to make it the $10-$15,000 car it could be. The headliner is split and needs repaired/replaced, I replaced the air conditioning components but, it had a leak, put sealer in haven't put new refrigerant in it again yet, the threading on the seats has broken and separated, it has been painted from its original powder blue and the paint is peeling in places mostly around the hood area however, I have done a bunch of work to it and it is running great and passed smog 4/24/2013.

New radiator, water pump, thermostat, front disc brakes, rotors and master cylinder, rear brakes have lots of tread and the tires have pretty good tread all the way around. It has a full size spare tire behind the passenger seat. I replaced the air conditioning components, smog pump and components. It has had a recent oil change and tune up with platinum plugs and synthetic oil. It is running great.

I think El Caminos might be a little more popular but, there seems to be more of them too. Check it out, fair priced, decent Rancheros are scarce.

Less than 100,000 original miles! About 96,000 right now! Clear title, registered to February 2014. Drive it away at the end of this auction!

Buy it today, use it for your Christmas shopping.

2015 Ford Mustang GT Line-Lock Burnout

Mon, 03 Nov 2014

In this brief Short Cut, Autoblog's Steven Ewing demonstrates Line-Lock on the 2015 Ford Mustang GT. Accessed through an on-screen performance menu, the feature temporarily locks the front brakes to help you heat up the rear tires for better traction, as you would for drag racing. The result? A 15-second smokescreen.

Ford demonstrates Mustang's new Line Lock burnout feature

Tue, 22 Apr 2014

Been saving your pennies for a 2015 Ford Mustang? Put in a few extra shifts or some overtime? Got a great down payment ready? Well, however much you saved for your new pony car, start saving more - you'll need the extra money to spend on tires.
That's because the Mustang will come with a system called Line Lock, which can lock the front brakes electronically, allowing drivers to perform big, dumb, smoky burnouts without moving so much as an inch. It's sort of like launch control, only the average driver might actually use it.
Now, line locks aren't uncommon, particularly in drag racing. Usually, a flip of the switch locks the front brakes. The Mustang, besides offering the system from the factory which is unique in and of itself, looks a bit more involved.

Ford board pushing Mulally for decision amidst fears story is drowning out other news

Thu, 12 Dec 2013

Automakers and their executives rarely like to divulge information regarding future goings on, but the board of directors at Ford sound like they're getting a little antsy about chief executive officer Alan Mulally and his plans for 2014.
According to Reuters, as news of Mulally's possible departure to Microsoft continues to swirl, Ford's board is looking to push the affable executive to make a decision about his future sooner rather than later. Apparently, the board is growing concerned that this will-he/won't-he drama may end up distracting the media from covering Ford's other big news events next year - items like the debut of key all-new products like the Mustang and F-150.
So far, the picture for Mulally's eventual successor remains fuzzy, but it's understood that the leading candidate remains the company's chief operating officer, Mark Fields. Just recently, we heard that Mulally will stay until the end of 2014, but a few months ago, Ford seemed open to the idea of him stepping down earlier than that.
