Don't miss out on the chance to bid on this Extremely Rare 1969 Ranchero offered at a no reserve auction. Originally Raven black(one of only 203 black rancheros in any combo) with black interior, has optional rear gear, factory Tachometer, 4-speed, clock, hoodscoop, side trim, etc.. very well optioned.

This is one of only 67 rancheros built with the 300HP 351 4V engine coupled to a Top loader 4-speed transmission. It is Numbers matching and original drivetrain. My father bought this car in the mid 70's and passed it along to me a few years ago. It was purchased used by my father in Arizona and lived there up until 3 years ago when we brought it to The northern California area. It is as solid and straight as they come. No cancer, original floors and all sheet metal. It was also a very rare Raven Black with black interior. It has had one repaint done in the early 80's and that's it. not full of filler, not dinged up. The bed is scratched up but very solid and was never used as a work truck or construction vehicle. Over the years a edelbrock intake and carb, MSD ignition, and headers were added along with a Hurst competition plus shifter. It currently has a brand new set of 17x8 and 17x10.5 deep lip Bullitt wheels with nice 315/4017 nitto drag radials on the rear. We are offering very nice original stock ford chrome GT wheels with brand new tires as an option for the buyer if restomod is not the look desired. Pic of the alternate wheel choice is listed below. It is one or the other and is up to buyer that wins auction. Please let us know which set you would like it shipped with.

I own a restoration shop and we have been using it weekly for light shop use running errands and picking up supplies. It has never been restored, just maintenance items corrected and kept in good shape over the years. We are trying to thin out our collection a bit to pursue other projects we would love to build. As with buying any old vehicle nothing is better than a personal or 3rd party inspection. We will make car avalible for any type of inspection bidder wishes.

Please take the time to read the included Marti Report and notice how well equipped it came and how original it still remains, A true rust free muscle car survivor.

We offer shipping and transportation arrangement worldwide and will be glad to work with overseas buyers. We do our absolute best to describe our cars we sell 100% correctly and if anything understate them a bit and verified by our feedback. We are not a dealer, these are cars from our personal collection. We take the time to answer any questions or help buyers in any way and we ask for the same from the buyers. We require a 1000 deposit within 24 hours. Full payment details can be found in the ebay ad. Vehicle is for sale locally and subject to sale prior to end of auction.

good luck and thanks for looking!!!

Old vs. new debate gets new life with $25,000 Fiesta ST vs. E46 M3 showdown

Fri, 10 Jan 2014

You know who you are. There's probably a few of you reading; the ones that say, "Why would I spend $27,000 on a new Mazda MX-5 when I could get a used Chevrolet Corvette with more power." Yes, we're talking to you, used car proponents. While it is a fair argument, it's not like used cars don't come with drawbacks of their own, though.
In an attempt to put this new-versus-used argument to bed once and for all, Matt Farah of the The Smoking Tire has picked up a pair of $25,000 cars - a used, but lightly modified, 2003 BMW M3 and a 2013 Ford Fiesta ST. Naturally, there's a comparison.
Farah, as he's wont to do, does get into the nitty gritty of what each car is like to drive, and discusses the merits of used and new-car shopping. But as he rightly points out while testing the M3, "So, it is a good car. But like any used car, it really does depend on the individual car."

Ford Fusion and Fusion Hybrid nab five-star ratings from NHTSA

Thu, 24 Jan 2013

Ford's Fusion and Fusion Hybrid have both received the highest five-star overall safety rating from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration. The rating is a big upgrade for the Fusion, which was completely redesigned for 2013. The previous model fell one star short of the top rating, after scoring only three stars in the frontal crash test and four stars in the side crash test and rollover evaluations. The 2013 Fusion received four stars in side crash and rollover testing and a full five stars in the front crash test.
Test results for the 2013 Fusion and Fusion Hybrid were greatly improved at least in part due to Ford's Personal Safety System. The system utilizes smarter sensors to gather crash data and tailor the car's restraint systems to the occupants. Seatbelt usage and seat position are taken into account to ensure airbags deploy with less pressure for smaller drivers, more for larger drivers.
The 2013 Fusion twins also received the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety Top Safety Pick+ designation. Read the official press release below.

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.
