First year for the Ranchero, a rare find. Has approximately 26,000 miles, true mileage unknown but I drive it daily so it's bound to change. The color of the outside is not original but the inside is. I just drive around town and it drives fine. I have had a new fuel pump and filter installed as well as a new carburetor, cleared out the fuel lines and boiled and coated the original gas tank and installed a new fuel float. I still have the old carburetor which we rebuilt but it runs better with the new carb. New correct sized battery with new electronic ignition and new distributor cap, also installed new spark plugs. New Dyna Max muffler setup from the headers. It has dual chrome tips out the back. Rebuilt original two speed transmission and it runs and shifts fine. New water pump. New brake shoes, wheel cylinders, brake hose lines and hardware kit. Also upgraded to a dual master cylinder brake booster. New oil pump, filter and oil of course. The headlight bulbs have been changed to halogen to see better at night. The radio works, the clock works intermittently, the windshield wipers work but the heater does not work and the horn works. I think I bought the car from the son of the original owner. I tried to show as best I could where the rust and paint peeling is in the pics. There is some rust on the bottom of the rear fenders, behind the drivers door near the rocker. There is bondo showing through the paint in front of the driver side rear fender and the floor panels are pitted but relatively solid. Also there is a spot in the rear fender well on the passenger side rear that has a spot. Most of the rust spots are less than 3-4 inches except maybe behind the rear wheels. Paint is peeling on several spots throughout the car most notably the tops of the roof and around the head lights and rear fender fins. The hood and doors shut but the springs on the hood are worn. The doors shut but could use adjustment. I was going to rebuild the engine but was told by my mechanic it looked fine on the inside and from my driving it the past year I'd say he's right. It drives relatively straight on the highway and cruises well at 70. Just installed a new driveline and four new shocks so it sits higher than is shown in the pictures. All work was done by a mechanic so it's been done right. Please call 925-918-3389 with any and all questions before you bid. The car is available to look at in Pleasanton, California which would be a good idea so that you know what your getting. The car is sold as is. Any shipping will be the buyers responsibility, although I will do what I can to expedite the process. My reserve is set well below what I have in it but of course I think is fair considering it is a very good driving classic.

Chrysler called out over lackluster Ram Runner by racer who helped develop it
Fri, 11 Apr 2014Fans of off-roading and desert blasting might recall that Chrysler offers an aftermarket conversion that can turn a Ram 1500 into a road-legal desert racer, called the Ram Runner. The kit, sold through Mopar, includes some significant suspension upgrades, body tweaks and a brawnier cat-back exhaust for the truck's 5.7-liter V8.
Considering all of this, comparisons with the almighty Ford F-150 SVT Raptor are common. Among the off-road community, that makes these two a sort of Chevrolet Camaro and Ford Mustang for people that prefer driving on dirt. In the Race-Dezert forum, the discussion as to which truck was better was proceeding as normal - Ram fans said their piece and Ford fans said theirs. Then, a man named Kent Kroeker offered up his two cents.
See, Kroeker is a Baja racer, and the man that helped develop the Ram Runner. Despite his association with the truck, though, he had some less than kind words for Chrysler and the Ram Runner.
Ford to build next F-150, outgoing model concurrently?
Wed, 24 Jul 2013Ford is rumored to be considering concurrent production for old and new F-150 models in a bid to minimize supply chain disruptions and inventory. Automotive News is reporting that the Blue Oval will build both the current F-150 and its replacement, which we showed you testing just last month, side by side for about half a year before switching over entirely to next-generation production.
As IHS Automotive analyst Mike Jackson told AN, "In order to ramp up, you have to retool...and that means you have to take capacity offline." Building both models alongside could allow Ford to cope with the still strong demand for the current F-150, while populating dealer supplies and working out supply chain kinks for the new model before making a full-time switch.
A loss of capacity when demand is so strong, even for a short period, could spell bad news for Ford, which nets an estimated 90 percent of its global profit on pickups and large SUVs. As AN states, Ford produces the F-150 in both Kansas City, Missouri and Dearborn, Michigan, which allows it to maintain some degree of flexibility in production. The new F-150 is expected to arrive at the 2014 North American International Auto Show as a 2015 model, with a design inspired by the Atlas Concept first shown at the Detroit Auto Show last January.
