Driving
this BEAST
The
Ranchero is blisteringly fast and I can say I do not have the guts to stay on
the gas for very long – frankly, it’s scary fast.
It
handles well with the suspension mods, considering the geometry is stock. The
brakes keep up with the added power and are not boosted because I like heavy
braking and steering in a heavy, powerful car like this. It has definitely
turned a few heads at autocross events!
I
would be 100% confident to get in this car and drive it anywhere today and
would feel the same about seeing off the new buyer on a great road trip home.
Other
Registered
in Pennsylvania as antique to keep the insurance rates very low; clear title in
my name.
About the sale:
I’m
selling my Ranchero because I fell for (and bought) a 34 Ford pickup and have
been, since that time, bitten by the traditional hot rod bug.
We
can seal the deal with a $500 non-refundable PayPal deposit within 24
hours of auction close; the balance of payment will be due within 7 days after
auction close. I will accept a wire transfer, cashier's check or cash;
no money orders, please. To avoid paying a large PayPal service charge,
I’ll only accept the deposit amount through PayPal.
Over
the years, I’ve been totally satisfied, both as a buyer and seller, with
Intercity Lines (http://www.intercitylines.com) and I’ll certainly make myself available for your shipper
or you to get the car. If you win the auction and decide to fly to Philly to
drive the Ranchero home, please call me and maybe I can pick you up at the
Philly airport.
I’ll
be happy to send you the title by FedEx on the day after your payment clears my
bank (I’m giving myself a day in case I get jammed up at work and I can’t get
to the FedEx box in time).
Any
bidder with significant negative feedback or less than 5 total feedback ratings
should contact me by phone to prevent his bid from being rejected. Thank you.
The
Ranchero must be picked up by June 30th.

Monsoon rains disrupt production for Ford, BMW in India
Wed, Dec 2 2015Even modern production techniques can be stymied by Mother Nature. This was demonstrated most recently in India, as torrential, monsoon rains caused a deluge that forced multiple automakers to suspend production. Ford, Renault, and BMW all halted work at their Indian facilities around the southern city of Chennai, also known as Madras. The annual rains disrupted public transport around the city, preventing employees from making the trek into city's factories. According to Automotive News, Chennai saw 48 inches of precipitation last month alone, which is more than Seattle, WA saw in all of 2014. While Ford and BMW closed things down for all of December 1, Renault just cancelled a pair of shifts at its Chennai factory. This is the second time in the past month that automakers in southeast India have been forced to stop production due to severe flooding, and things aren't likely to improve. According to The Weather Channel, forecasts call for thunderstorms over five of the next seven days, while the chance of rain won't fall below 80 percent until December 8. Ford, Renault, and BMW are far from the only automakers that could stand to be impacted by the rains. The city has been nicknamed "The Detroit of India" for its extreme automotive presence. Daimler, Hindustan, Hyundai, Mitsubishi, and Nissan all own factories in the region.

Former Ford CEO Mulally won't run for president
Mon, 15 Sep 2014Alan Mulally will not be following his successful term as president and CEO of Ford Motor Company with a run at an even bigger presidency. Rumors that the 68-year-old former Boeing exec would make a run at the White House sprouted after his apparent dodging of a reporter's questions about a potential candidacy during a forum in Indianapolis.
"I really think it's important that we all pull together. We really need to pull together around a compelling vision for our country and a comprehensive strategy to do it and work together. We really need to do it," Mulally said at the conference, according to The Detroit News.
He's since clarified by saying, "[I'm] honored at the suggestion, but that is not a role I am considering."
