This auction is for a 1957 Ford Ranchero. It belongs to a friend of mine who asked me to list it for him. To begin with the prior owner who built the car was a exceptional engineer who was a master at craftsmanship and restoring cars. A few years ago he passed away and the current owner was a good friend of his. He ended up acquiring the Ranchero and has been going to all the car shows and events with it. It could be used as a daily driver as it goes that good. This vehicle was featured in the 2003 June issue of Super Rod Magazine. There are 5 pages dedicated to the history of this truck. It would take me too long to write everything about it but if you give a call I would be more than happy to go over it with you. Just to give some inside information the running gear is a stock Mercury 390 V-8 4 BBL with a Richmond 5 Speed Manual Transmission and a 9 inch Ford Rear. It cruises nicely but has the power to boot. Has Power Steering, Four Wheel Disc Brakes, Power Windows, Power Door Poppers, Flow Master Dual Exhaust, Ice Cold Air Conditioning, AM/FM Stereo, Beautiful Tan Naugahide Interior, Louvered Hood, Torque Thrust Wheels, Tubular Grille, Hard Tonneau Cover and more. Roof has a 2 inch chop, has sunken antenna, sliced openings by the tail light housings to give marker light impressions, 56 Ford outer rear wheel wells to accomodate bigger tires, 58 Ford Headlights remanned into the 57 fenders and a beautiful hugger orange paint job. You can just imagine all the time and money it took to do this car. It started out as a California car so it was nice and solid to begin with. Believe me this vehicle turns heads where ever it goes! Really need to see this truck in person to appreciate it.  First time ever offered on Ebay. We have a clear maine registration and proper transfer paper work.Please check out my other auctions for a 40 ford tudor, 57 chevy wagon,49 olds coupe ,30 model a sedan and a 49 ford pu.  .

Ford set to target pre-school market with next F-150 variant

Tue, Jun 17 2014

How do you build a strong group of loyalists from the next generation of American drivers? You start em' young. Ford has taken that lesson to heart, as we can see in the first batch of images of the company's new entry to the pre-school market, the Power Wheels F-150. This particular example was caught returning from testing around Ford's base of operations in Dearborn, MI – covered in tiny little bits of camouflage, too. Now, this could very well end up being a collaboration between Power Wheels and Ford. Then again, it could just be some bored engineers that decided to troll the local congregation of spy photographers, who earlier today captured images of the next Focus RS and SVT Mustang. Whatever it is, it's pretty darn cool. Take a look up top for images of the new Power Wheels F-150.

Junkyard Gem: 1971 Mercury Comet 2-Door Sedan

Sat, Sep 10 2022

When Ford introduced the original Maverick for the 1970 model year, Dearborn tradition required that a Mercury-badged version be created. That car ended up being the Comet, built from the 1971 through 1977 model years. Here's one of those first-year Comets in rough but recognizable condition, found in a Denver self-service yard not long ago. The Comet name had spent the 1960s affixed to the flanks of Mercurized Ford Falcons (1960-1965) and Fairlanes (1966-1969). Since the Maverick was the successor of the Falcon — sales of which went into an irrecoverable downward spiral once its sportier Mustang first cousin hit the streets — it made sense to move the Comet name over to the Mercury version. Nearly every American Mercury model ever sold was a U.S.-market Ford model with a different name and some gingerbread slapped on. Notable exceptions to this tradition include the 1999-2002 Mercury Cougar (mechanically based on the Contour but with a unique body) and the 1991-1994 Mercury Capri (an Australian-built mashup of Mazda components borrowed from the Ford Laser). The Comet was by far the cheapest Mercury model available in 1971, though it was considered more prestigious than its Maverick counterpart. The price tag on the '71 Comet two-door sedan started at $2,217 (about $16,505 in 2022 dollars), while the '71 Maverick two-door sedan cost $2,175 ($16,193 today). Meanwhile, AMC would sell you a new Hornet two-door sedan for one dollar less than a Maverick, Chevrolet had the Nova coupe for a dollar more than the Maverick, and Plymouth offered the Valiant Duster for $2,313 ($17,220 now). Toyota had a Maverick competitor as well that year, with the Corona at $2,150 for the sedan and $2,310 for the coupe. Having driven every one of the aforementioned models, I'd take the Duster if I went back in time and had to choose one (as a 1969 Corona owner, I'm not a fan of the 1971 facelift, though the Corona's build quality beats the Duster's). The build sticker on this car tells us that it was built at the Kansas City Assembly Plant (where Transits and F-150s are made today) and sold through the Los Angeles district sales office (there was a DSO in Denver, so it's a near-certainty that this car didn't start out in Colorado). The paint started out as Bright Blue Metallic (it's neither bright nor metallic 51 years down the road) and the interior was done up in Medium Blue Cloth & Vinyl.

Ford S-Max Concept proves minivans aren't always minivans [w/video]

Tue, 10 Sep 2013

Ford's latest don't-call-it-a-minivan is called the S-Max Concept, and it's a looker. As you can see, the conceptual overgrown hatch makes good use of Ford's latest design language, especially at the very front of the S-Max, which bears a striking resemblance to production models that include the Focus, C-Max and Fusion.
Powering the S-Max Concept is a 1.5-liter EcoBoost engine, and while Ford doesn't actually list power figures for the concept, previous estimates put the mill at 133 kW of power (about 178 horsepower) and 240 Nm of torque (about 177 pound-feet). Inside, there's room for seven passengers and at least some of their luggage.
As you'd expect, the S-Max is loaded up with all of Ford's latest infotainment technology, including Sync and MyFordTouch. More interestingly, there are also onboard heart and blood glucose monitors that we doubt will be seeing the light of production anytime soon. On that topic, don't expect to see any S-Max-shaped vehicles hitting the US market from Ford, either. Scroll down below for the press release, but not before checking out the high-res image gallery above.
