1957 RANCHERO

FIRST YEAR (THE REAL THING!)

THEY ARE DESIGNED TO LOOK LIKE THE 57 T-BIRD!!

THE RANCHERO BODY WAS CHANGED MANY TIMES BUT MOST COLLECTORS WILL TELL YOU THAT THIS IS THE MOST DESIRABLE AND HOLDS IT'S VALUE IN THE COLLECTOR MARKET!

AS HENRY FORD ONCE SAID, "RED IS THE BEST AND ONLY COLOR"!

FUNNY THOUGH...THIS 57' IS EXACTLY 57 YEARS OLD IN 2014!!

THE T-BIRD MOTOR IS STRONG AND THE TRANSMISSION SHIFTS AS IT SHOULD AS WELL.

I WISH IT HAD POWER STEERING BUT THE LARGE STEERING WHEELS OF THE DAY WERE LARGE FOR A GOOD REASON!

IT ALWAYS DRAWS A CROWD. THE PIPES ARE REALLY NICE SOUNDING (TALK LOUD DRAW A CROWD!)

I DON'T USUALLY USE !!! THAT OFTEN...GUESS I'M JUST EXCITED!

THIS RANCHERO CAN TAKE YOU TO WORK...IT CAN DO WORK...AND WEEKEND FUN IS NOT OUT OF THE QUESTION!

IT IS A SOUND INVESTMENT...I CONSTANTLY GET SOLID OFFERS BUT I DECIDED TRY EBAY SINCE MY 50TH WEDDING ANNIVERSARY IS COMING UP IN AUGUST AND I NEED TO BUY MY TOLERANT BUT BEAUTIFUL BRIDE SOMETHING GOLD...KNOW WHERE I CAN FIND A GOLD CADILAC?

OH YA...THE RADIO IS ORIGINAL AND MAKES NOISE BUT IT AIN'T STEREO!?

NICE CUSTOM WHEELS/GOOD TREAD

THE SEATS ARE LEATHER AND THE ELECTRIC CONTROLS WORK

NOT SURE BUT I WAS TOLD THEY CAME FROM A LINCOLN

DOORS AND TAILGATE LATCHES ARE SOLID

FLOORBOARDS ARE SOLID

I AM NOT AWARE OF ANY SIGNIFICANT RUST PROBLEMS

THE TRUCK BED IS SPRAYED WITH BEDLINER (EXCELLENT CONDITION)

ALL WINDOWS ARE VERY GOOD... NO CRACKS... DOOR WINDOWS CRANK UP AND DOWN SMOOTHLY.

SOME PLAY IN THE STEERING WHICH CAN BE TAKEN CARE OF EASILY.

WHILE THIS RANCHERO IS NOT PERFECT...IT IS ALMOST THERE...MY WIFE SAYS I AM NOT PERFECT EITHER BUT I AM ALMOST THERE..!?

PICTURES ARE ALMOST THERE TOO!

Ken Block is at it again in Gymkhana 6

Mon, 11 Nov 2013

If there's one thing we'll say about Ken Block and his latest installment in the Gymkhana family, it's that it's far more structured than previous videos, but that doesn't mean it skimps on the entertainment. Block is on a purpose-built course which was touted as "The... Ultimate... Gymkhana... Grid... Course" in last week's preview. Unlike Gymkhana 5, which took placed on closed streets in San Francisco, this course seems much more compact.
Block has an entire array of challenges to tackle in his 650-horsepower Ford Fiesta ST, and none of them look particularly easy. In fact, we'd argue that Gymkhana 6's grid course requires much more precise driving that previous titles. There are Segways, Lamborghinis and massive pieces of construction equipment that all must be dealt with.
We've got the entire 6:28 of Gymkhana madness for you down below. Scroll down for the video and then hit Comments and let us know how this installment compares to previous Block works.

Weekly Recap: Ferrari, Ford and Porsche power up for Geneva

Sat, Feb 7 2015

Monday was Groundhog Day. Tuesday, apparently, was Sports Car Day. The Ferrari 488 GTB, the Ford Focus RS and the Porsche Cayman GT4 all debuted within hours of each other ahead of their rollouts at the Geneva Motor Show. Three sporty machines, three vastly different approaches – and a lot of implications for enthusiasts. That's a day worth repeating. It also illustrates the opportunities automakers see in the performance market, which is expected to grow in the coming years. Ford estimates the segment has expanded 14 percent in Europe and surged 70 percent in North America since 2009. The Detroit Auto Show was evidence of this, and performance cars of every stripe debuted, including the Acura NSX, Ford GT, Alfa Romeo 4C Spider and several others. This isn't a fad. Performance cars aren't going away. The question is why? Stricter CAFE standards are looming in the United States, as are tighter emissions regulations in Europe. And no one expects gas prices to remain low in America. None of this matters for sports cars, and automakers are increasingly using them to elevate their images. That's why Dodge rolled out two 707-horsepower Hellcats last year. It's why Ford has decided to resurrect the GT for road and track. It's why in the depths of bankruptcy, General Motors continued work on the Chevrolet Corvette Stingray, not to mention the Z06. "Great brands are made one car at a time," Ford of Europe president Jim Farley said at the reveal of the Focus RS. Still, companies make those cars for different reasons. View 5 Photos Mainstream brands like Ford and Dodge want to build cars that get people talking, excite their bases and drive more potential customers into the showroom. They probably don't buy a Focus RS or a Hellcat, but suddenly the regular Focus hatch looks a bit hotter, and that V6 Charger seems to be just a touch more muscular. The halo of performance is alive and well in the eyes of automakers and their customers. "It's one of the most effective catalysts for ingenuity and innovation," said Joe Bakaj, vice president of product development for Ford of Europe. That also leads to a trickle-down effect. Some of the technologies inevitably make their way to other products. It's hard to think the new all-wheel-drive system in the Focus RS that distributes torque front to rear and side to side won't be used in other vehicles. It's different for Ferrari and Porsche.

1979 Dodge Li'l Red Express in Generation Gap showdown with 1933 Ford Pickup

Fri, 18 Jul 2014

Auto enthusiasts love a good debate, whether it's Mustang versus Camaro or Ferrari against Lamborghini. But how about a battle between two very different vintages of classic pickup trucks? In this case, the fight is between a 1979 Dodge Li'l Red Express and a 1933 Ford Model 46 truck with a flathead V8.
The shootout comes courtesy of the internet series Generation Gap, and its concept is super-simple. One guy prefers classics, and the other likes newer rides. They choose a category, pick two vehicles and put them head to head. In this case, neither is exactly modern, though. The Ford is more than old enough to receive Social Security checks, and the Dodge is hardly a young whippersnapper.
Other than both being pickups, these two models were made to serve very different functions. The Li'l Red Express was basically the progenitor of today's muscle trucks, with a big V8 that made it one of the quickest new models in its day (admittedly, 1979 was a rough time for automotive performance). On the other hand, the '33 Ford was just meant to work, with little pretense for anything else. One of the hosts describes it as "the simplest, most difficult" vehicle he's driven because of the tricky double clutchwork necessary to shift gears. Scroll down to watch the video and try to decide which of these two American classics you would rather have in your garage.
