1958 Ranchero 390 V8 Auto Runs 7 Drives "rancher" Emblems on 2040-cars
Santa Clarita, California, United States
If I have not covered anything that is important to you let me know! I cant remember every detail or issue. I have several old cars that I play around with. I'll do anything I can to help you feel confidant in buying it. Check the vin for details. Door data code plate was painted over I did not remove the paint off it. Its hard to make out the details of it. Pretty sure it was originally white but total complete blue repaint. Door jams, dash etc. You can see even under the SS bed rail trims it was painted blue. I determined it because white was the last color before reaching the factory dark brown primer. I have uploaded as many pictures as I can. Choosing the ones that should matter the most. I have more available that I can send you via email/Txt. Or I'll take what you want me to. Simply put txt me and say you want more pic and of what and I will send them. This is a very cool Ranchero. The emblems that go on the rear area say RANCHER I don’t know why. Clean clear title in my name Tags good until 1/15 I was driving it 2/3 times a week around town mostly to lunch, or trying to be cool with a vehicle that not everyone has, until reverse became almost nonexistent/working. It works but you have to rev it high to get it to engage and go backwards. Has a 390 from what I don't know. I bought it that way. I'm pretty sure I have all the moldings and trim pieces. I have pictures that I can txt or email you to show how complete it was and the condition when I bought it. Basically to show that its all there. I obviously took some trim pieces off to strip the paint. I have the gas tank access door. Brand new 4core high flow brass radiator $400 Yup it has "some" rust, not a lot, but you know exactly how much, look at the pictures I can’t hide anything. I’ve removed most of the paint to prove it. The spare tire holder has 2 layers of sheet metal only the top layer is heavily rusted where the water would have drain down into the bottom layer which is where the 1inch hole is for the water to drain out. Rear bumper is slightly bent and has some rusty spots. It does bolt up to the brackets. Drivers upper door frame needs to be welded pic of problem. Windshield and pass door glass cracked broken Its 56 years old so not perfect but for the most part very solid. Not very many of these left in this condition. It took me a while to find this one. Who cares why I want to sell it, but if you really want to know, this is why. My son and I have moved on to 66 T-birds you can see in some of the pictures. Otherwise it would not be for sale. I don't care why you want to buy it. I only care that it sells. It can be picked up within 45 days after completing the sale, maybe longer if we talk about it. It is kept inside a temperature controlled garage. I also can take it to a shipper or transport if needed anywhere close to the Los Angeles area at no charge. There is a 75% chance that I’m driving to upstate NY to see my son play semi pro baseball and for a fee I can drop it off to you on my way. Probably leaving 2/3rd week in July. We can talk about it. Any question or concerns call me tom 661 286 1171. |

Ford blamed in drug mule lawsuit
Tue, 30 Jul 2013If a college student is caught smuggling drugs across the border, one might think the kid got what was coming to him. But when a Mexican student at the University of Texas in El Paso was caught by Border Patrol agents with duffel bags filled with marijuana in his trunk, the man used a classic excuse: He claimed they weren't his.
While a claim like that is almost unbelievable, Ricardo Magallanes, the student, is now suing Ford for handling its vehicles' key codes negligently enough to allow drug smugglers to break into his Ford Focus and stash the drugs, The Daily Caller reports. The twist here is that four other people who lived in Juarez and worked in El Paso were involved in the same type of scheme - allegedly unwittingly, just like Magallanes - and all the cars were Fords except one model from General Motors. FBI agents also found an employee at a Dallas Ford dealership that had accessed the key codes to all four of the cannabis-stuffed Fords.
While we all may not own Fords, the case still causes us slight paranoia. We'll definitely be checking our trunks before we cross any more international borders.
Tier 1 suppliers call GM the worst OEM to work with
Mon, 12 May 2014Among automakers with a big US presence, General Motors is the worst to work for, according to a new survey from Tier 1 automotive suppliers, conducted by Planning Perspectives, Inc.
The Detroit-based manufacturer, which has been under fire following the ignition switch recall and its accompanying scandal, finished behind six other automakers with big US manufacturing operations. Suppliers had issues with trust and communications, as well as intellectual property protection. GM was also the least likely to allow suppliers to raise their prices in the face of unexpected increases in material cost, all of which contributed to 55 percent of suppliers saying their relationship with GM was "poor to very poor."
GM's cross-town competitors didn't fare much better. Chrysler finished in fifth place, ahead of GM and behind Dearborn-based Ford, which was passed for third place this year by Nissan. Toyota took the top marks, while Honda captured second place.
Xcar celebrates 100-year anniversary with Model T tribute
Fri, Jan 9 2015Never mind the fact that XCar hasn't been making videos for the last 100 years, the British duo have gone all silent-moving-pictures in order to make their centenary case for the Ford Model T, a car that was already seven years old in 1915. It's not a review, but a mostly sepia-tinged look at the car that started the mass-market adventure by taking that biblical advice to be fruitful and multiply and populate the Earth abundantly. Since it looks like Xcar is celebrating some kind of milestone, we've also included another video below of the first Xcar review we could find, covering the BMW M1, from the much more recent past - circa 2012.
