The year was 1979. I was rockin’ with my business up front, casual in back hair (for you youngsters, a “mullet”). Cutoffs for dudes were acceptable, and so were baby blue polyester leisure suits.  And I wore them all with pride.

 

I was saving up for my first 8-track in my Corvair when I drove past a Ford dealer and fell in lust with a girl I call “Badass Ranchero.”

 

If this car could talk, I’d be in fricken jail.   

 

Nothing came between Brooke Shields and her Calvins when this truck was born.  But unfortunately, it’s finally time for someone to come between me and Badass Ranchero.

 

I’m inviting you to continue my Ranchero escapades, and let Badass Ranchero’s Legend live on. It’s more than a car.  It’s more than a truck.  It’s the Badass Ranchero.

 

Badass Ranchero is a rust-free Arizona ride. 

 

If you like, I’m happy to go on your inaugural ride in Badass Ranchero, wherein together we will relive portions of it’s history through my descriptive tales.  I’m happy to provide the G-rated versions, or the XXX-rated versions upon request. We can belt out an off-key rendition of “Do you think I’m Sexy,” just as I did while rollin’ to the disco in ’79.  We can cry together as we relive hearing about the death of Freddie Mercury on the AM radio. While in the passenger seat, you may succumb to the overwhelming urge to tease your hair, and carry a rat-tailed comb in your rear Wrangler jeans pocket. I will not judge you.  I’ve been there, friend.  Hopefully Poncho from CHiPs won’t pull us over because of your sudden “need for speed” due to it’s manly 351cid engine with automatic transmission.  I’m sure we’ll do a single wheel-burnout, and Poncho will eat our dust coming from our dual exhaust, but he won’t catch us a second time on his rice-burner, that’s for sure.

 

You’ll tell from our drive that while she drives like a boat, the steering is power, as are the brakes.  (Only the best for my Badass!) 

 

Disclaimer:  This Badass Ranchero is so laden with testosterone, it’ll cause a noticeable increase in your chest hair merely by sitting in the driver’s seat.  As a result, you won’t even notice that while the A/C compressor turns, the car can’t get any cooler. (Seriously.  It blows as hot as the last date I had in it.)

 

Now accepting applications for the new Custodian of Badass Ranchero.  In order to apply, you must:


  1. Know who Roscoe P. Coltrain is;

  2. Respect the fact that Farrah Fawcett was the BOMB;

  3. If you have never worn a mullet, you at least must be related to someone who sported one “Back in the Day.”  Proof will be required.

  4. You need cash. 

  5. You can’t return Badass.  She is sold “as-is,” with no warranty, express nor implied;

  6. Miles are not actual, true miles are unknown.  Note: She's probably got more than I put on my last girlfriend;

  7. Title nor car will be released until funds are cleared.  Wiring funds is best. Or cash on pickup.  ALL FUNDS MUST CLEAR.  Otherwise, I'll sic Scooby Doo on your a$$.

  8. Ask all questions BEFORE purchase, not after. 

 Thanks for reading.

Ford cuts production at 5 plants, has big backload of cars including Mustang

Wed, Sep 20 2017

DETROIT — Ford said on Tuesday it plans to idle five North American vehicle assembly plants for a total of 10 weeks to reduce inventories of slow-selling models. The plants affected include three assembly plants in the United States and two in Mexico, the company said in a statement. The vehicle models include the Ford Fusion and Lincoln MKZ midsize sedans, the Ford Focus compact car, the Lincoln Continental and Ford Mustang, Ford Fiesta and the Ford Transit van. Ford said the Cuautitlan assembly plant that builds the Fiesta would be idled for three weeks. The Hermosillo, Mexico plant that builds the Fusion and MKZ and the Flat Rock, Michigan, factory that assembles Continentals and Mustangs will be idled for two weeks each. The Michigan Assembly plant that builds the Focus will be idled for one week, and the Kansas City assembly line that builds Transit vans will be down for two weeks. Ford did not give dates for the temporary shutdowns. The factories involved employ more than 15,000 people, according to Ford's website. The company did not say how many of those workers would face temporary layoffs. As of Sept. 1, Ford had 111 days' worth of unsold Mustangs, 87 days' supply of Fusions, and a 103 days' supply of Transit vans, according to Automotive News. Dealers had enough unsold Lincoln Continentals to last 162 days. Automakers aim for 65 to 70 days of inventory of most models. Ford and rival General Motors have wrestled most of this year to rein in high inventories of passenger cars as consumers have shifted to buying pickup trucks and sport utility vehicles. Production cuts slice into revenue, but also could help the automakers avoid deeper price cuts on vehicles they can sell.

Ford reveals EcoBoost-powered Riley prototype for Daytona 24

Tue, 01 Oct 2013

It's not the first time Ford has participated in the Daytona Prototype class as an engine supplier, but in revealing this new EcoBoost V6-powered Riley Technologies prototype for the new United SportsCar Championship, Ford is making a statement: "We want to show Ford EcoBoost's capabilities as an engine that provides both performance and fuel economy, on and off the track," says Jamie Allison, director of Ford Racing.
In addition to supplying the 3.5-liter twin-turbocharged V6, Ford had its production designer Garen Nicoghosian give the racecar brand-inspired design cues with support from Ford Racing chief aerodynamicist Bernie Marcus.
The car is scheduled to compete at next year's Rolex 24 at Daytona on January 25-26, but before that, Michael Shank Racing is working with Ford at another goal. Driving his Ford Thunderbird, NASCAR champion Bill Elliott set the track's top speed record at 210.364 miles per hour during a qualifying run for the Daytona 500 - way back in 1987 -- and Ford thinks it's about time for that record to fall. What better time the introduction of this new Ford-powered Daytona Prototype? Michael Shank Racing plans to use the twin-turbo V6-powered racer to beat Elliott's record, and it expects to begin prepping for the top-speed run on October 9.
