1958 Ford Ranchero Deluxe on 2040-cars
Danville, Kentucky, United States
This vehicle is powered by, I believe, the original 292 Y block V8 with a Ford Autolite 4V carburetor and dual
exhaust with Flowmaster mufflers. It starts instantly and runs very nice. The transmission is the cast iron 3 speed
cruiseomatic and the rear is the indestructible Ford 9" . It also has power steering, which has just recently had
the control valve and cylinder rebuilt, and power drum brakes. I also just replaced the alternator.
The chrome including bumpers, emblems, trim, and door handles are excellent.The front bumper was replaced shortly
after I received the car due to an incident which happened during transporting the car to me, and at the same time
both turn signal surrounds were slightly creased, which is visible in the 7th and 8th photos. I did purchase a very
nice pair to have rechromed and replace them, but then decided not to, because the slight damage is not real
noticeable. I will include the two extra ones with the car, and also I have a new complete set of the gold anodized
aluminum side inserts that will come with the car. They probably were not available at time of restoration. All
the stainless steel trim has been polished. The 15 X 6" front and 15X8" American polished 5 spokes are very nice.
Tires are like new 215/65 front and 255/60 rear. The windshield and two side windows appear to have been replaced,
and in excellent condition. The rear window is excellent and original with the Ford script, and the vent widows are
also original, but have some bubbling around the edges.
The beautiful interior was professionally redone just before I purchased it. The newly upholstered power seat is
from a later model Ford Crown Victoria and fits like it belongs there. I believe the white surfaces of the seat is
leather. last year I restored the original steering wheel, and the speedometer cluster. It has an amplified after
market sound system, which can blow your ears out, which was installed in 2013 with receipts for over $400.00, but
the stock Ford AM radio is not a functional unit

Consumer Reports says these are the worst new cars of 2014
Thu, 27 Feb 2014Consumer Reports has announced its annual list of worst vehicles, a cringe-inducing contrast to its list of top vehicles. Ignominiously leading the way in 2014 is Chrysler, which has a staggering seven models listed.
Jeep nearly sweeps the small SUV segment by itself, with its Compass, Patriot and 2.4-liter version of the new Cherokee, while the only midsize sedans listed by CR were the Chrysler 200 and Dodge Avenger. The new Dodge Dart and the Dodge Journey round out CR's condemnation of Chrysler.
Ford is taking heat as well, with the Taurus, Edge and their counterparts from Lincoln all listed as the worst vehicles in their respective segments. Toyota doesn't fare much better, with its Lexus IS, Scion iQ and tC also making the list.
Subaru Legacy pitted against Roadkill project cars
Fri, 05 Sep 2014There's an evergreen debate among auto enthusiasts about whether they would prefer to have the latest and greatest car of today or a certified classic from yesteryear. What if you had to further define that, though, and the choice was between a brand new 2015 Subaru Legacy or a turbocharged Datsun 240Z with a hatch that wouldn't close? Roadkill aimed to find out that and more in one of its best videos to date.
According to the hosts, Subaru came to them, handed over some money and challenged Roadkill's project cars against its latest Legacy. The result is every bit as good (or better) than any automotive-themed show you could find on television.
Things start simple with a figure-eight race in a rodeo arena with the Subaru taking on Roadkill's 1968 Ford Ranchero, originally built for ice racing. From there the Legacy races a 1968 Dodge Charger with no windows around and off-road rally stage. Finally, the Subie goes head-to-head against the Rotsun, the aforementioned turbocharged 240Z, through an abandoned neighborhood. Plus, there's a bonus drag race challenging them all.
