1957 Ford Ranchero Running Driving Project 390 3 Speed on 2040-cars
Alpine, Texas, United States
|
1957 Ford Ranchero 390, 3 Speed. I picked up this body in Bakersfield a couple years ago to build a shop truck. I have since retired and this is as far as it got. Runs really good. Drives fine. 390, BUT it might be a 352. I took it out of a 57 Retractable. 62 model block with 58 machined chamber heads. 4 brl. Does not smoke or leak. 3 Speed on the column. Later trans with synchronized low. Trans needs a rear seal. Went through the brake system. New Master cylinder, wheel cylinders, metal lines and new hoses. New fuel pump, aluminum radiator, upper a frame bushings, rear shocks, emergency brake cable. Tires and wheels were something I had laying around the shop. Rear 255/35/ZR20, front 245/40/ZR20. The front tires have some cracks in the side walls. One front center cap is broke. All the lights and signals work as well as the horn. All the glass is good except the rear window has a crack and some b-b chips. New windshield seal. New Headliner and some cheap cut to fit carpet. I have all the inside trim and a extra set of stainless for around the bed. It needs lower quarters, rockers and fenders repaired. I have done the floor. I have a set of lower quarters I cut off another car that go with it as well as the door moldings. IT NEEDS A GAS TANK. I run it on can in the back. The old tank is still under the car so you have the filler neck and straps. You can pick it up here 79830 Alpine Tx. With a couple days notice I can meet you in Hamlin Tx 79520. Just north of Abilene. I have a two car trailer with up coming trips to Phoenix, Billings Mt, Biloxi Ms and In. I can drop it off along any of those routes or meet you somewhere. Storage after payment is not a problem. 214-226-3119. E mailing me works best. Cell Reception here is spotty. I am sure I forgot something. It is for sale locally.

Jay Leno's Garage goes eco with Ricardo HyBoost
Mon, 17 Mar 2014"Now before you turn away, this is not another boring hybrid car thing..." Despite the slightly defensive introduction from Jay, the latest episode of Jay Leno's Garage is actually pretty fascinating. The Ricardo HyBoost is a 2009 Ford Focus that has had a 1.1-liter engine swapped in for the stock 2.0-liter four. That might not get you performance enthusiasts out there fired up, until, that is, you hear that the 1.1L is also fed by both a turbocharger and an electrically driven supercharger for an instant-on "torque-fill" effect. Sounds about right, considering that Ricardo engineering is part of the genius behind the McLaren P1.
Perhaps most exciting of all, the Ricardo folks say that the package should run somewhere in the neighborhood of $1,100. A sort of performance-hybrid that makes sense for the frugal driver and the enthusiast one, then. There's a lot more to the HyBoost, all of which can be seen in the video below.
Ford Tourneo ready for duty in Connect, Courier and Custom flavors [w/videos]
Wed, 06 Mar 2013Ford was relatively quiet at the Geneva Motor Show, but it did take the opportunity to roll out its new family of Tourneo vans: the Courier, Connect, Grand Connect and Custom. As the passenger version of the Transit cargo vans, the new range of Tourneo models vary from the B-segment Courier up to the fullsize Custom. The Connect and Grand Connect are based on the redesigned 2014 Ford Transit Connect.
With an overall length just three inches longer than the Fiesta hatchback, the Tourneo Courier seats four to five passengers, and it offers a choice of three engines: the 1.0-liter EcoBoost or two small diesels. Like the 2014 Transit Connect was saw in Paris last year, the Tourneo Connect comes in a five-seat configuration while the Grand Connect can seat seven. Finally, the Tourneo Custom seats up to nine passengers, and it is available in two lengths up to 210 inches long putting it just six inches shorter than a standard-length E-Series van and about a foot longer than the Explorer.

Ford vandalizes the SEMA Show floor with 2014 Transit Connect
Tue, 05 Nov 2013The Ford booth here at SEMA is practically a 1970s throwback with all these customized vans sitting front and center. And we're completely fine with that. Take the black and yellow (black and yellow, black and yellow) 2014 Transit Connect from Mobsteel above. It's got a great stance, sits on steel wheels and has a pretty cool paint job and graphics package to boot.
Of course, that's not the only van you can see at the Ford booth. In fact, there are 10 Transit Connect vans on display from Ford here at SEMA, and you can see them all in our live gallery of high-res images above. Then, if you want to know more about each specific model, feel free to scroll down to read all about these vans in the official press release from Ford.
