1959 Ford Fairlane 500 Ranchero Rat Rod Project Sb 302 C4 Tranny Custom Must See on 2040-cars
Fremont, California, United States
|
Unfortunatly I have to sell my 1959 Ranchero. Has a small block 302 with C4 tranny. The Ranchero was running great until the first rain came. Apparently Ford had a design flaw, when water gets into the bed, it drains into spare tire well and the drains to the top of the gas tank where it sit with no where to go. so long story short..the gas tank was rusted out and a bunch of water go into the tank. they do sell repops but was not willing to spend 600+ on a new tank (490 for tank and 180 oversize shipping). So I was in the process of putting in a new Jaz fuel cell. I flushed out fuel lines and got a new fuel pump. I'm also getting a new upper radiator hose, came with wrong size. Has new Edelbrock carb, also has Mallory electronic ignition distributer and Mallory ignition box. Has headers with dual exhaust and glass packs. It will come with clean uncut dash and a brand new power brake kit and new front shocks and new rear air shocks, also have an extra grill and a bunch of other new parts to go with. It does have rear quarter panel rust on both sides but I do have new replaement panels for both sides and I will also include rear skirts. Has newer Coker tires and has been lowered already. Its not in the pics but I do have the the bed floor. The only thing the Ranchero needs is the fuel cell to be hooked up, basically need to make the hold down straps add gas and go. again, it was running great before water got into gas tank drove to modesto and stockton a few times no problem. Only reason for selling is because I need more down payment funds for a house. Again..this was a great runner before water got into tank. I will still continue to work on when I can until end of auction but my time is a bit limited. I should have fuel pump and radiator hose installed and I will work on getting some hold down straps done for the gas tank. PLEASE PLEASE feel free to ask questions!!!

Woman trades 1914 Model T in for 2013 Corvette
Wed, 17 Apr 2013We're sure that dealers must see all sorts of interesting trade ins, but this one may take the cake. Red River Chevrolet in Bossier City, Louisiana, recently had a customer come in with an odd request. Tina Boyter wanted to trade in three vehicles on a brand-new 2013 Chevy Corvette. Among the hardware was 1980 Corvette, a 1978 Cadillac Eldorado and a 1914 Ford Model T. While the '80 Corvette had been her personal car for years, the '78 Eldorado had belonged to Boyter's mother before she traded up to a Lincoln. The big Caddy had just 10,290 miles on the clock when it was traded in.
And the Model T? Boyter says the car was built as a racer by Ford, and that it had been a show winner for years when it belonged to her father. But, after spending the last 16 years in a museum with its fluids drained, Boyter decided it was time to shed some of the past. She walked into the dealer, laid eyes on a white 2LT Corvette with a red interior and offered to trade all three of the vehicles in on the sports car.
Why not wait for the C7? "I fell in love with that one when I walked in the door," She said. We can't fault her there.
Tanner Foust gets eponymous hotted-up Ford Focus ST from Cobb Tuning
Thu, 14 Mar 2013Racer and Top Gear USA host Tanner Foust has partnered up with Cobb Tuning to create a special-edition Ford Focus ST. The limited-edition hatches will come packing a reflashed ECU, special intercooler, tweaked intake and freer-flowing exhaust for up to 20 percent more power than the stock creation. Cobb says that the changes should push the final dyno figure to above 300 horsepower. Buyers can also expect to find special carbon fiber aerodynamic bits on board along with a new grille, graphics and wheels. Cobb hasn't released pricing on this Tanner Foust Edition Ford Focus ST as of yet, but you can bet the whole kit won't be cheap.
Fortunately, the company will sell you bits and pieces from the overall package for your Ford, and word has it engineers are also whipping up a Foust Fiesta ST. Look for Cobb's Focus ST website to go live next month, complete with accurate specs and pricing. Until then, enjoy clicking through the gallery here.

Subprime financing on the rise in new car sales, leasing too
Fri, 07 Dec 2012We all remember the financial crisis that began several years back. At its core was a splurge of subprime lending for housing loans. The housing bubble burst, triggering a collapse of the mortgage-backed securities market. Apparently, those types of loans still exist in the automotive industry, and the market share for these types of "nonprime, subprime, and deep subprime," loans has grown 13.6 percent compared to the third quarter a year ago.
According to an Automotive News report, high-risk lending expanded to 24.8 percent of total loans in Q3, up from 21.9 percent for this time last year. As this level increased, average credit scores of borrowers dropped to 755, down from 763 a year ago. In that time, the average financing amount increased $90 per vehicle, to $25,963.
At 818, Volvo maintains the highest per-owner credit score, while Mitsubishi has the lowest, at 694. The highest rate of borrowers was at Toyota, with 14 percent of the market, followed by Ford with 13.1 percent and Chevrolet at 11.1.
