Selling a 1969 Ranchero in excellent condition, original low mile car with no rust (California - So. Nevada). This is an uncut original with very low miles and it shows.

Exterior; has had recent repaint, some paint missing on hood near molding (see pic), small scratch on front fender(see pic), right hood scoop turn signal light does not illuminate however turn signal device works properly at all other locations, period correct wheels with nearly new back tires and brand new front tires, chrome is in good to excellent condition, body is straight, bed has mat covering a near perfect floor. This car/truck looks great up close or far away.

Interior; upholstery, door panels, headliner in excellent condition, dash pad has no cracks, carpet is in very good condition with mats, includes two additional kick panel as passenger one has a crack in it. CD/AM/FM/Sirius ready head unit installed in glove box with remote, two box speakers behind seat. There are NO modifications to this dash, no cuts in the metal, looks as it did 45 years ago, both windows work well, heater, fan, lights, turn signals, brake lights, hazards all work. Factory radio still in dash (unknown condition as it is bypassed for aftermarket one in glove box).

Drive Train; Starts up on the first try every time, runs very smooth, trans shifts normally, the 302-2 bl accelerates the car/truck well, tracks perfectly, stops perfectly (no pulling). Has Cherry Bomb dual exhaust so it sounds great, some what period correct sound. Electric Fuel pump added by previous owner (never told why) with factory mechanical still plumbed in place. There is a minor oil leak at back of motor, about a drop every few days, the trans has no leaks, the differential has no leaks.

Mechanical; Since February of this year, I have replaced or had replaced the following items:

New front brakes rotors

New front brake pads

Front end alignment (front end is tight)

New front shocks

New sway bar bushings polyurethane (new in box, not yet installed, see pic)

New sway bar end links, polyurethane (new in box, not yet installed, see pic)

All three high pressure power steering hoses replaced with new

Rear transmission seal replaced

Both real axle shaft seals and bearings replaced

New brake shoes in rear, drums turned

New rear sensa-trac shocks (new in box, not yet installed, see pic)

New front tires

I purchased this Ranchero as I wanted a rig to replace my truck, but one with style and class . This one has all that and more, but its in too good of a condition for me to use it as a truck, I don't want to scratch it or get it dinged in a parking lot. Its fun to cruise, gets lot of attention/conversation wherever I go. The Ranchero just doesn't get used or driven enough by me, again because of its condition, plus I have a Cougar that I prefer to cruise around in.

No Warranty either expressed or implied, Ranchero is sold as is. Buyer responsible for all shipping cost. I will help get it to a shippers dock location if its within a reasonable distance from my location.

Bill Ford augments his power by nearly doubling stake of supervoting shares

Fri, 28 Jun 2013

Bill Ford Jr. has more sway than ever over the automaker that bears his surname, as the great-grandson of Ford's founder has reportedly doubled is holdings of Class B Ford stock. According to a report from Reuters (which cites a newly discovered securities filing), he acquired some 3.7 million Class B shares from an unnamed family member.
Class B shares of Ford stock are held by descendants of Henry Ford and offer expanded voting power to their holders - Bill Ford Jr. now controls roughly 11.5 percent of the total Class B pool. Ford Jr. is also a one of five trustees that manage a voting trust that oversees the majority of these "supervoting" shares. In total, Reuters reports there are 71 million Class B shares that account for 40 percent of the voting power in the company, despite making up just 2 percent of the total volume of all Ford stock.
Ford Jr. served as Ford's CEO until 2006, when he stepped down to hire and make space for current CEO, Alan Mulally. The move to consolidate Ford family voting power, at least somewhat, is seen by many as a comforting sign with Mulally's departure from the company likely to happen in the next several years.

Ken Block is at it again in Gymkhana 6

Mon, 11 Nov 2013

If there's one thing we'll say about Ken Block and his latest installment in the Gymkhana family, it's that it's far more structured than previous videos, but that doesn't mean it skimps on the entertainment. Block is on a purpose-built course which was touted as "The... Ultimate... Gymkhana... Grid... Course" in last week's preview. Unlike Gymkhana 5, which took placed on closed streets in San Francisco, this course seems much more compact.
Block has an entire array of challenges to tackle in his 650-horsepower Ford Fiesta ST, and none of them look particularly easy. In fact, we'd argue that Gymkhana 6's grid course requires much more precise driving that previous titles. There are Segways, Lamborghinis and massive pieces of construction equipment that all must be dealt with.
We've got the entire 6:28 of Gymkhana madness for you down below. Scroll down for the video and then hit Comments and let us know how this installment compares to previous Block works.

Ford Ranger-based 7-seat SUV spotted testing

Wed, 29 May 2013

Ford looks to be working on a new SUV version of its global Ranger pickup truck. An early prototype of a seven-passenger SUV based on the Ranger has been spotted testing in Australia, and word has it buyers in the region could expect to see the model in showrooms as soon as 2014, where it could sail under the Endeavour or Everest badges. Ford Australia currently sells the Territory SUV, so there's some chance that this model could be a successor to that throne, as well.
Whatever it's called, the long-roof Ranger will feature a shorter wheelbase and more ground clearance than its pickup twin, giving the machine a bit more off-road functionality. (And here we thought we couldn't want the global Ranger any more than we already do.) While this particular vehicle sports a Territory back half grafted onto a Ranger front end, odds are a public reveal of the finished product could occur as soon as the second half of 2014, making it a 2015 model. Head over to Carsguide.com.au for a closer look.
