You are looking at a 1961 Ford Ranchero that I restored for myself as a daily driver. I bought this car from the original owner a few years ago. He had replaced all of the steering components and shocks and then parked it for about 8 years, which is when I got it. It has right around 23,000 original miles. This is one of those cars that every one looks at when it drives by. I have spent the last 3 years restoring this Ranchero as a fun way to save gas around town. I have spent countless hours on this car and I don't even want to add up the money I've spent. So, let's get to the details!

The engine (200 cu. in. inline 6) and transmission (C4 automatic) are out of a 1969 Ford Mustang and have both been rebuilt with about 5,000 miles on them. They are in tip top shape with no problems what so ever. All the electrical works. It has a new aluminum radiator, new battery, newer alternator, new starter, all new belts and hoses. The brakes have been serviced and have newer brake shoes and 3 of the 4 wheel cylinders have been replaced. It also has a new driveline with u joints that was built to go with the C4 transmission. The exhaust is after market 2.5" with a glass pack.

On the inside, all the knobs have been replace, dome light, glove box liner, door light switched in the door jambs, head liner, rear panels. it has a new electric wiper motor from Newport Engineering, Panasonic CD Player and new kick panels with speakers, The carpet and door panels have been replaced and the seat is original and has been redyed, it only has 2 small tears in it after all these years. The shifter is a Hurst Pro-matic 2 and the cable is brand new. All the gauges work along with the lights in the dash. It has a Sunpro triple mini gauge set that shows water temp, voltage, and oil pressure.

On the outside, it has a custom two-tone base coat/clear coat paint job that just in itself runs into the thousands. It has new tires all around with the original Ford hubcaps and beauty rings. It has enough clear to be cut and buffed if ever wanted and it has a roll on bedliner., The tail lights are new, the headlights are new, the fuel sending unit is new. The gas tank was removed and cleaned, the fuel line has been cleaned. The under carriage has been undercoated. Any rust in the car was very minimal and has been fixed and/or replaced. The gears are 3.50 and it doesn't have overdrive. I usually drive it about 65 mph with no problems. Any faster and it starts to get a little loud, but that's ok because the stereo works great! All of the weatherstripping has been replaced, new window rubbers, felts, hood to cowl seal, radiator support seal, rear bumper seal. Drives straight, brakes straight.

This is a great running car that is supposed to be just that. I didn't make a show car, but I made a solid 8.5 out of 10 to turn heads and have fun while doing it. It wouldn't take much to make this a 10, some new chrome and glass along with some minor details is all it should take because that is all that is left! Everything else has been done for you with quality. Please look closely at all the pictures and check out the video, if you have any questions, feel free to ask me. I love this truck and would probably keep it forever, but we are buying a new house and this is part of making that move happen. I am sad to see it go, but my loss is your gain. Feel free to fly out and drive it home. I wouldn't be scared to take it cross country right now! If you would like to ship it home, then please arrange that on your own and I can assist from my end where needed. As anything can happen with even the newest of cars, this one is sold as is, where is with no warranty.

Ford Mustang Shelby GT500 has a bit of a dyno issue

Tue, 28 May 2013

We're of the mind that each and every dyno should come with Murphy's Law painted in big, visible letters down the side. For every ten successful dyno runs out there, it seems there's one where events to horribly wrong. Take, for example, the video below. The clip shows what happens when a Ford Shelby GT500 and a mobile dyno have a bit of a disagreement at the Performance Expo 24 in Sherbrooke, Quebec. We won't spoil the results for you, but we will say there's some substantial carnage involved.
It's unclear just how much damage ensues from the dust up or whether anyone was harmed in the incident, but from the looks of things, everyone made it out without serious injury. If only we could say the same for the machines involved. Check out the video below.

Which car companies are creating new jobs in America?

Fri, Sep 22 2017

Since January, automakers have announced investments totaling $9.5 billion in U.S. plants, creating or retaining more than 12,000 jobs. Some of those companies have yet to announce just how many jobs will be created given their investments, with the location of many of those jobs still to be determined. Specifically, the 4,000-job Toyota-Mazda joint venture plant still hasn't announced its location, with numerous states jockeying for it. Hyundai has plans to invest $1 billion but has not announced a jobs number yet. And likewise Ford is investing $1.2 billion in Michigan without specifying a number of jobs. Volvo this week announced plans to add a second line to its factory under construction in South Carolina, spending another $500 million and adding 2,500 jobs to the 2,000 it was already trying to fill. Then Thursday, Daimler announced a $1 billion expansion to its facility in Tuscaloosa, Ala., to produce EV batteries and electric SUVs, a move that will add 600 jobs to its hiring this year. Above, we've created a handy pie chart showing you which companies have announced new jobs and how many there will be.

DoJ fines Japanese parts firms $740M in massive automotive price-fixing scandal

Fri, 27 Sep 2013

Nine Japanese suppliers have pleaded guilty in US court over charges of price fixing in the automotive parts industry, resulting in the Department of Justice doling out a total of $740 million of fines, according to a report from Bloomberg. The scandal, which has resulted in General Motors, Ford, Toyota and Chrysler spending up to $5 billion on inflated parts and driving up prices on 25 million vehicles has sent the DoJ hustling into investigations. "The conduct this investigation uncovered involved more than a dozen separate conspiracies aimed at the U.S. economy," Attorney General Eric Holder (pictured above) said during yesterday's press conference.
As the investigation stands, the DoJ has issued $1.6 billion in fines against 20 companies and 21 individual executives, with 17 of the execs headed to prison. Deputy Assistant Attorney General Scott Hammond said, "The breadth of the conspiracies brought to light today are as egregious as they are pervasive. They involve more than a dozen separate conspiracies operating independently but all sharing in common that they targeted US automotive manufacturers."
Big-name suppliers indicted in the investigation include Mitsubishi Electric, Mitsubishi Heavy Industries, Hitachi Automotive and Mitsuba Corporation. A list of fines and other corporations named in the investigation is available at Bloomberg.
