I have for sale a Rare 1971 Ford Ranchero "Squire" with the wood grain decals along the bottom on the rockers and on the gate, not like the traditional Squire has across the sides of the car.

This car came from Northern California and remains in the same town that it has been in since New. I am the third owner of the car. An elderly man bought the car new locally and when he couldn't drive any longer he sold it to one of his neighbors that did some work on it like put a new t5 Mustang 5 speed transmission and new clutch, he then died and his wife sold it. Transmission works great and has no issues.

The engine is a numbers matching 302 ci small block V8 that was an original 2bbl and I have now up graded it to a Edelbrock intake and Carb. along with aluminum Edelbrock valave covers. I have also recently replaced the points and condensor. runs good.

The car has stock exhaust and is very quite.

The body is very straight and has only surface rust, as the second owner decided to strip part of the paint with paint stripper and then passed away before he do much more with it, I would have done something with it but I think it has great Patina. The only rust through was in the rear floor area that has all been cut out and welded in with the correct gauge sheet metal. No other Rot is apparent.

The rolling stock consists of a set of Mustang 17" Bullet wheels with decent tires. Along with wheel spacers and longer studs to accomodate the wheel spacers.

The interior has a new black carpet kit and leather bucket seats the driver is power but I have yet to hook it up permanently but works fine. Has original seat belts. The dash had cracks so it has a cover on it.

On the back there is a rare piece for this car and that's the camper shell or topper, I have the side windows for it but no rear hatch. it is in fine shape otherwise.

The car holds a clean California title and is registered with its original blue and yellow plates till Oct 2014.

I have all of the original parts for this gem like the original seat, carb/intake set up and air cleaner I do not have the original transmission.

Buyer is responsible for local pick up and/ or setting up shipping arrangements. I expect a $1000.00 non refundable deposit within 24hrs of close of Auction.

This is your chance to buy a solid California Ranchero that they only made this style two years. Good Luck.

Ford's Mulally now said to be in lead for Microsoft CEO job

Sun, 29 Sep 2013

There have been rumors that Ford CEO Alan Mulally could assume the top job over at Microsoft, whose CEO, Steve Ballmer, will retire within the year. Mulally hasn't come out and said that he's considering moving to Microsoft after (or before) his contract with Ford through 2014 ends, but sources in the know say he's the front-runner to become the tech giant's CEO and has opened up to the idea more in recent weeks, AllThingsD reports.
Mulally is no stranger to Washington, where Microsoft is located, having worked in the state for Seattle-based Boeing Commercial Airplanes as CEO years ago. He also recently was an adviser to Ballmer in an effort to realign the company's management structure to help it become more competitive in a fast-changing computer hardware and software market. And when Ford developed its Sync digital interface, it tapped Microsoft to provide the operating system, Microsoft Auto. Perhaps the least crucial connection - but nonetheless an important one - is that Mulally still owns a house in the Seattle area, and it's been said he wants to return there, according to AllThingsD.
A main challenge Microsoft's next CEO will face is how to manage the company's numerous, fractured operations and, eventually, streamline them. But even on this front, Mulally has experience; after all, it was he who ushered in an era of global Ford vehicles, after the automaker had become complacent developing and selling vehicles by region leading up to the economic recession of 2008-2009.

Question of the Day: Most degraded car name?

Fri, May 27 2016

When Ford came up with a not-so-sporty version of the Pinto and slapped Mustang badges on it in 1974, that was a low point for the Mustang name. When Chrysler applied the venerable Town & Country name on perfectly functional but unglamorous minivans, it saddened many of us. But perhaps the biggest demotion for a once-proud model came when, in 1988, General Motors imported a misery-enhancing Daewoo from Korea and called it the Pontiac LeMans. The original Pontiac LeMans was a great-looking midsize car with fairly advanced (for the time) suspension design and engine options including potent V8s and a screaming overhead-cam straight-six. The Daewoo-based Pontiac LeMans was a cramped, shoddy hooptie that served only to ruin the LeMans name forever, while stealing sales from the Suzuki-based Chevrolet Sprint. Sure, using the once-respected Monterey name on the Mercurized Ford Freestar was bad, but Mercury didn't have long to live at that point. I say the downward spiral of the LeMans name was the most agonizing in automotive history. What do you think? Related Video: This content is hosted by a third party.

Ford readying three-row Edge for China

Fri, Nov 21 2014

The next-generation Ford Edge will be available with quite a growth spurt for its debut in China next year, with newly announced plans also to build and sell a three-row version exclusively in the People's Republic. However, markets outside of there likely won't see the larger model. Ford marketing boss (and future head of Ford of Europe) Jim Farley announced the three-row version of the crossover at the Los Angeles Auto Show, according to Automotive News. To create the extra room, Ford made the Chinese-built variant about 16 inches longer than its two-row counterpart. Farley didn't specify at which of the Blue Oval's plants in the country this model would be assembled. The Explorer and forthcoming Everest already offer three rows from the Ford lineup in China, but the company thinks the market can easily support all of them. According to Farley to Automotive News, the utility segment is up 485 percent in the country since 2008. Customers in the US can still look forward to the two-row Edge hitting dealers early next year. It'll be the first model in the Blue Oval's lineup here to come standard with EcoBoost power.
