The custom teal paint job cost $6000 at the time. There are some blemishes now, and some bondo that is cracking in the driver's door. It is not a show car, but looks great. It turns heads and people give you the thumbs up when you drive by. The upholstery is also custom and is color-keyed to match the paint. The dash has been dialed in with the paint as well, as is shown in the pictures. The Ranchero is complemented with a great set of custom wheels, and a tonneau cover that tops the bed that is in great shape. There is a fantastic sound system! It has an Alpine CD changer with a Hifonics 200 watt amp. There are four kicker eight inch sub woofers and two Boston Pro Series mid range speakers with tweeters. The woofers are cleverly stashed behind the seats with vinyl covers.
The meticulous owner kept all of the stock parts if someone wanted to take it back to bone stock. The original wheels with BFG's are also included. We also have the stock valve covers and air cleaner.
The Ranchero was stored inside for the past fifteen years. The Ranchero has been detailed. We installed new spark plug wires, new battery, changed the oil and all filters. rebuilt the Edlebrock 750 carb. We have run a tank of premium fuel through it, and had a blast watching the peoples' heads turn as we drove by. The engine was rebuilt 3000 miles ago. This is one fine car that is worth taking a look at. It is eligible for Hot August Nights in Reno. It is a great cruiser. It is low, but not slow.
The Ranchero is currently in Reno. We will help with the shipping, or can deliver a reasonable distance for a reasonable price.

Ford bringing adaptive steering to the masses [w/video]
Thu, 29 May 2014Within the next year, Ford will offer a brand-new adaptive steering system (unimaginatively dubbed "Ford Adaptive Steering"), and this week, the automaker invited us out to its proving grounds in Dearborn, MI to get a taste for how its new setup works. In function, Ford's system doesn't greatly differ from the majority of other adaptive steering units already on the market from companies like Audi or BMW, but consider this: Ford will be the first non-luxury automaker to offer this technology, and uniquely, the whole system fits inside the car's steering wheel.
Ford's engineers have worked hard to create a system that can be tacked on to the company's full lineup of cars, trucks and utility vehicles, and says that the adaptive steering will be uniquely tuned for each specific vehicle. The automaker will not confirm exactly which vehicle will launch with this technology, but for the purpose of our preview, we tested the technology in a 2014 Fusion - a vehicle with already-good behind-the-wheel feel, one that the company says best demonstrates its current steering efforts.

How privacy fears are driving automakers in the age of the connected car [w/poll]
Wed, Aug 27 2014A recent GAO report concluded car companies don't adequately disclose how and why they share location data. As cars collect and store more and more data about the whereabouts of their drivers, automakers are responding to critics who say they should be more transparent about how those details are used. Ford is hiring a global privacy policy attorney to craft the company's customer privacy policies in the era of connected and autonomous cars. "In this emerging space, there is an important need to address customer privacy policies," reads a job description posted on the "people and careers" portion of the company's website. "As part of our compliance and ethics organization at Ford, this person will have an immediate and direct impact in shaping existing and future policy and corporate thinking in this area." Ford is creating the new position, based at its Dearborn headquarters, at a time technology advances are outpacing privacy protections. Earlier this year, a report from the federal government concluded car companies don't adequately disclose to motorists how and why they share location data. That report, from the Government Accountability Office, found many car companies did not describe how they shared location data, did not allow consumers to request their data be deleted and that there was a "wide variation" in how car companies retained vehicle-specific or identifiable location data. It noted there is increased risk of location data being used in ways "consumers did not intend." Ford was one of 10 companies the GAO surveyed while compiling its report. Customers are opting to share that data largely by using features like maps and turn-by-turn direction that are run by a vehicle's telematics unit. Depending on the company, it can be unclear how that data is collected, retained or shared. At the time the GAO report was issued, AAA, the nation's largest motoring club, urged carmakers to be more transparent in how they handle data and to offer stronger security protections. Shaping Autonomous Car Regulations At Ford, the new hire could change how the company handles that data. According to the job description, the successful applicant will, "demonstrate visionary thinking around privacy strategy – imagine how consumer and employee expectations around privacy may evolve and how business should adapt, develop approaches that maximize the benefit of data sharing for consumers and business, etc." (Emphasis from Ford).
