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:
Thanks for reading.

Slew of Ford recalls affect more than a million vehicles
Thu, Sep 30 2021Ford is closing out September with the sad task of alerting owners to five different recalls, two of them camera related. The first is a safety compliance recall affecting 620,246 units of 12 models from the 2020 model year: Edge, Escape, Expedition, Explorer, F-150 and Super Duty, Mustang, Ranger, and Transit, plus the Lincoln Corsair, MKX, and Nautilus. On these vehicles, the circuit board in the rearview camera suffers from insufficient electrical conductivity. The issue can cause the resulting image to not appear or to be distorted, which can lead to an accident while reversing. Ford will begin notifying owners as of November 7 to get their vehicles to dealers for replacement of the rearview camera. The internal Ford reference for this recall is 20C19. The second camera-related issue affects the 2020 and 2021 Ford Explorer, Lincoln Corsair and Lincoln Aviator with the 360-degree camera. Technically, if you own a 2021 Explorer that only has a rearview camera and not a 360-degree camera, neither the above recall nor this one apply to you, but it's probably better safe than sorry here. There are 354,330 crossovers covered by this action. A video output issue could cause the displayed image to cut out, increasing the chances of a reversing accident. Ford will notify dealers starting October 7, the fix being to have a dealer update the Image Processing Module software. The NHTSA campaign number for this recall is 21V735, Ford’s internal reference number is 21S44. The F-250 and F-350 Super Duty are in for another recalls thanks to potentially improper welds on the front axle's wheel end yoke. A bad weld could alter steering performance, getting the truck to pull left or right, or change the sensitivity of the steering. There are 9,628 affected trucks in the U.S. and 961 in Canada. Dealers will replace the axle assembly if any bad welds are found. Ford's reference number for this is 20S56. The fourth recall affects 38,005 Mustangs in the U.S. and another 2,873 Mustangs in Canada and Mexico from the 2020 model year. In this instance, the brake pedal bracket might fracture during sudden stopping, which can decrease brake pressure and increase the chances of an accident. Ford's internal reference for this recall is 20S52, the fix being to have a dealer replace the brake pedal bracket assembly. Finally, 126,033 units of the 2011 to 2013 Explorer are being recalled over a potential suspension issue.
1969 Ford GT40 Mk III found roaming the halls in Geneva
Wed, Mar 4 2015The halls of the 2015 Geneva Motor Show are filled with all manner of exotic racing machinery, from the likes Scuderia Cameron Glickenhaus to McLaren. But there's one peculiar bit of history tucked away that we thought you'd be equally interested to see: a 1969 Ford GT40 Mk III. One of only seven known to be built, this Mk III coupe was intended as a road-going alternative to earlier racing-bred GT40 models, like the original Mk I and 427-cubic-inch, Le Mans-dominating Mk II. Due to its street-legal intentions, the Ford GT40 Mk III boasted revised bodywork that allowed for some luggage and new headlights, along with a redesigned interior with left-hand-drive and a shifter in the normal, center position. The Mk III wasn't very popular when it was new in the 1960s, in part because it looked different from other GT40 models and because it was pretty expensive, but that just means it's an awfully rare gem today. Take a look at the piece of history in our high-res image gallery above.
