Attention Global Vintage Ford Collectors! Contact Clint for more info at 610-763-8277 For your consideration is this extremely rare 1972 Ford Ranchero GT. This car has quite a story. This is a ONE OWNER “Barn Find” out of North Carolina that still retains its original sheet metal, floors, engine, transmission, and rear!! Special ordered with a Mustang Mach 1 Drive train V8 351 Cleveland 4bbl with a Hurst 4 speed on the floor manual transmission, and a Ford 9” Posi Rear!! This is an unrestored survivor with original paperwork including original manual, Protect-o-plate, warranty identification card, Ford Clear envelope, and other dealer flyers and disclaimers. Even have the original auto insurance policy from American Family Insurance, Sheldon DeWitt, Agent, Longmont Colorado. Special ordered and purchased new from Stan Bennett Ford in Longmont, Colorado on July 27, 1972. Shortly after the purchase, the owner relocated to North Carolina where the car remained until just a few months ago. Since I have acquired the car, I have gone through to make roadworthy. New Edelbrock 650 Carburetor, Brake service, new Battery. I have been driving it locally, and it’s an absolute blast to drive. It is such a solid car that would be perfect and relatively easy to restore back to its former glory. Or, just drive it the way it is! The body is extremely solid. No shoddy patchwork, Bondo or body filler. All original sheet metal. If you wanted to paint the vehicle, it’s literally a sand and shoot. The paint has some chips and battle scars from over the years, but still shows well for a barn find driver!! It's not a show car by any means, but original patina is hard to find with something of this age. Please note there is some bubbling occurring under the vinyl top. As you can see from the pictures, the undercarriage is very solid as well. All original floors. No holes, soft spots, or major rust. The light factory undercoat definitely preserved this vehicle. Mechanically, the engine fires right up every single time. It has a nice purr like a 351 Cleveland should. Free from ticks or tapping. Does not smoke at idle or under acceleration. The transmission shifts as it should through all 4 gears. No grinding or chattering from the gears or clutch. The ride and handling is quite surprising! It’s very tight and drives straight down the road. No shimmy's, shakes, rattles, vibrations, or drifting. Factory power steering and power disc brakes add to the drivability factor with this Ford. All of the lights, turn signals, dash lights, and gauges are in working order, and appear to be accurate! Factory Tachometer, Speedometer, temp, volt, pressure gauges function. Even the seat belt indicator still buzzes! Radio and speakers work as well. Whether you are a rare Ford car collector or aficionado, collect original patina vehicles, are looking for a muscle car to finish off and restore to your taste, or just looking for a driver to take to car shows and win trophies for its rarity and originality, then take a serious look at this Ranchero!

2015 Ford F-150 to get up to 26 miles per gallon
Fri, Nov 21 2014The 2015 Ford F-150 is one of the most important US vehicle debuts in years, be it in the pickup segment or the entire marketplace. While we've already known about the truck's engine lineup, its payload ratings and we've even learned a bit about how it drives, the truck's EPA-estimated fuel economy ratings have remained a mystery. The wait is finally over. Ford has announced numbers that put the latest F-150 as the mileage leader among gasoline-powered, full-size pickups in the US, with its new 2.7-liter EcoBoost V6 topping the charts. Starting with the entry-level naturally aspirated 3.5-liter V6, the rear-wheel-drive F-150 is rated at 18-miles-per-gallon city, 25-mpg highway and 20-mpg combined. Opting for four-wheel drive drops those numbers slightly to 17/23/19. If fuel economy is your absolute priority, then upgrading to the 2.7-liter EcoBoost V6 is the hot ticket. It improves things further to 19/26/22 in rear-wheel drive trim or 18/23/20 with four-wheel drive. The carryover naturally aspirated 5.0-liter V8 is rated at 15/22/18 as a 4X2 or 15/21/17 as a 4X4. Finally, the flagship 3.5-liter EcoBoost V6 tops the range in available torque and offers buyers 17/24/20 ratings with rear-wheel drive or 17/23/19 with four-wheel drive. "We are delivering with the toughest, smartest and most capable F-150 ever – and now the highest EPA-estimated fuel economy ratings of any full-size gas-powered pickup in America," said Raj Nair, Ford group vice president, Global Product Development, in the company's announcement. Depending on engine and drivetrain configuration, Ford contends that the 2.7-liter EcoBoost's top rating puts fuel economy up between 5 and 29 percent over the current generation, thanks in large part to the truck's lighter aluminum construction. Obviously, these are EPA estimates, and your mileage may vary – ours has. Recently, Autoblog team members have had real difficulty even approximating government mpg estimates on many EcoBoost models, including the new F-150. Scroll down to read Ford's full announcement, including comparisons to rival models.
Ford acquires Livio to bolster connectivity biz
Thu, 26 Sep 2013Ford Motor Company has announced the acquisition of Livio, a Ferndale, MI-based software development company best known for aftermarket in-car connectivity devices, but also as a supplier of technology for proprietary systems for automakers. Livio, co-founded by Sigal and Massimo Baldini, will be a wholly owned subsidiary of Ford Global Technologies.
"With the additional expertise Livio provides us, Ford intends to continue to lead the next generation of in-car connectivity with technology advancements that give consumers more options to access their devices on the go," said Paul Mascarenas, chief technical officer and vice president, Ford Research and Innovation, in a statement.
Ford is clearly trying to beef up its in-house tech capability around telematics and device connectivity. While the Blue Oval has been a leader in these areas with SYNC and MyFord Touch in terms of getting the systems into as many cars as possible, the execution of the applications have been criticized for glitches.
Ford, Ram in heavy-duty towing spat
Mon, 28 Jul 2014Every pickup truck commercial has the brand trying to convince us that its model is the biggest, brawniest vehicle on the block. But Ford and Ram appear ready to really throw down the gauntlet and scrap over the towing figures for their heavy-duty models, and it could potentially end up in court.
The issue revolves around what it means to be best in class. Ford claims that its 2015 F-450 (pictured above) has a max tow rating of 31,200 pounds, compared to 30,000 pounds for the Ram 3500 (right). However, both companies market these heavy haulers as having the top towing in their class. According to Automotive News, Ford is threatening legal action if Ram doesn't back down.
The situation isn't as simple as just comparing the numbers, though. First, the two companies calculate their towing capacities differently. Ram adheres to the SAE J2807 rating, while Ford uses its own internal system. Although, as the company introduces new models, they are certified using the SAE standard. "When an all-new F-Series Super Duty is introduced, it also will use SAE J2807," said Ford to Autoblog in an emailed statement.
