1967 Ford Rachero 500 390 EFI Resto Mod/Pro touring car This truck is Fast and Beautiful. It handle and stops better than any pick up you have ever driven too. I am a
professional car builder and well known diagnostician and technician I built
this truck for me but my family has decided they like going to car events
for me so we are needing a few more seating positions and I don't have enough
room for this one and I can't stand to have it sit around without being
enjoyed. You are buying this car for 30% of the cost to build it or more
to the point you are buying the paint and I am throwing in one really
nice hot rod. The body and interior were media blasted and made laser straight including sand and fill across panels for that show car look. All repairs were done with the car on a rotisserie. All the blocking was done this way too so even the bottom of the car is straight if you look up at it. The color is the 2009 Ford F series Red which is pretty close to the original 67 red but much easier to match. All of the stainless on the car has been polished, all of the chrome has been completely restored including the dash parts (over $1100 just in the interior chrome bezels of the gauges and A/C vents) Nearly every system on it has been upgraded from lighting and wiring to a complete redesign of the suspension for better ride and handling than Ranchero's normally had. Here is the list:

the body joints were cleaned and resealed with new joint sealant All lines

Suspension The
factory suspension has been plotted in my Lotus suspension design software
to improve several areas. Moved the
upper control arms to better locations for better camber curve and anti dive.
(similar to the Shelby mod on the mustangs) Removed the
springs from the upper control arms and utilized adjustable air coil overs
on the lower control arms to lower the spring roll pivot points. Custom
adjustable upper coil over seats on the front. Boss
Mustang style lower frame rail supports welded in All new
parts in Steering Rear suspension
is a Rocker arm like a Formula 1 car. The Air coil overs are horizontal mounted
and attach to the rocker arms and pushrods down to the rear end. This reduces
unsprung weight and keeps the rear from bouncing over rough roads and there is
no wheel hop from this suspension.

Rare Ford Mustang ASC McLaren is a piece of '80s history
Wed, Jun 1 2016You can't blame the dealer for advertising this oddball convertible as a "Ford Mustang McLaren." The name certainly rolls off the tongue better than "Ford Mustang ASC McLaren," and it makes the car sound a whole lot more appealing. However, without the 'ASC' in there, you don't get the full picture. And when it comes to the world of strange automotive collaborations—particularly those of the 80s—you most definitely want the full picture. ASC McLaren Mustangs were the result of fortuitous timing, and a project that was already underway between the American Sunroof Company and McLaren (no, not that McLaren). Detroit custom car builder Peter Muscat brought the idea of a Mustang with a tonneau cover to ASC after chopping the top off a Fox body on his own, and in turn ASC founder Heinz Pretcher brought the concept to Ford. Big blue was already in the midst of relaunching a Mustang convertible, which had been absent from the lineup for 10 years, so initially it was the Mercury Capri that got the ASC/McLaren treatment. The result was a car that was more expensive than a Mustang GT, and coupled with declining sales of the Capri overall, the car was discontinued in 1986, paving the way for the ASC McLaren Mustang you see here on eBay. With the change over to the Mustang as their platform for modification in 1987, ASC McLaren were given the opportunity to create something notable. Customizing the Capri was one thing, but the Mustang name carries with it iconic status. So what did ASC McLaren do with their chance to leave their mark on automotive history? They gave the car some visual modifications, both inside and out, but like the Capri, left the powertrain untouched. Also like the Capri, the cars still ended up costing more than $20,000. Between the high price, the economic woes of the late 80s, and disputes between Muscat and Pretcher, the ASC McLaren Mustangs were no more by 1990. During the three year run, 1,806 ASC McLaren conversions were completed, making them quite rare, especially low mileage examples like this one. The 5.0 V8s are known for being stout engines, capable of handling serious modification, and logging lots of miles, so there are no concerns there. The 5-speed Borg-Warner transmission that came in all Mustang GTs is also known for being a durable unit, the '87-'90 versions especially so. The main concern here would be the life the car has lived, and more importantly where it has lived.
Weekly Recap: Toyota propels hydrogen fuel cells
Sat, Jan 10 2015Toyota is serious about hydrogen fuel cells, and it wants the auto industry to follow suit. The Japanese automaker said this week it's releasing 5,680 fuel cell patents from around the world, including technologies used on its upcoming sedan, the 2016 Mirai. The move is unusual, but not unprecedented, as Tesla similarly released its electric vehicle patents last year. The idea for Tesla, and now for Toyota, is to spur development of alternative propulsion. "By eliminating traditional corporate boundaries, we can speed the development of new technologies and move into the future of mobility more quickly, effectively and economically," said Bob Carter, Toyota Motor Sales senior vice president of automotive operations, in a statement. Toyota's fuel cell patents will be free to use through 2020, though patents related to producing and selling hydrogen will remain open forever. Toyota said it would like companies that use its patents to share their own hydrogen patents, but won't require it. "What Toyota's doing is really a logical move, and really a good move for the industry," Devin Lindsay, principal powertrain analyst with IHS Automotive, told Autoblog. The announcement was made at the Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas. It comes as Toyota prepares to launch the hydrogen-powered Mirai in a limited number late this year in California. The launch will be extended to the Northeastern United States next year. Toyota also has announced plans to support networks of fueling stations in each region to try to smooth consumer adoption. The Mirai has a 300-mile range on a tank of hydrogen, and it takes about five minutes to refill. Fuel cells have been receiving increased attention recently, and Audi and Volkswagen debuted hydrogen-powered cars at the 2014 Los Angeles Auto Show. Honda, another proponent of the technology, also showed its updated FCV concept in November in Japan. The company, however, has delayed its fuel cell sedan a year until 2016. Like Toyota, Honda says its hydrogen-powered car will have a range of 300 miles or more. Meanwhile, Hyundai currently offers leases for fuel-cell powered Tucsons, which have a 265-mile range, in Southern California. Despite the optimism some automakers have for fuel cells, the technology still faces barriers. A lack of filling stations has long held it back, and many consumers are not familiar with the potential benefits.
