California vehicle, with original black plates (not a YOM replacement) 

1963 Ford Ranchero, first year of the 260 cubic inch V8 (one of approximately 2,225).  Bench seats, column shift.  Deluxe dash pad is in perfect condition.

Over $22K spent on restoration.  Trim is complete, rechromed and is in show condition. Vehicle is very fast, reliable and fun to drive. 

A brand new engine (not rebuilt) with Edelbrock aluminum heads was installed about 6,000 miles ago (original 260ci engine not available) . The exhaust sound is pure music to your ears with the dual exhaust and headers.  

The suspension has been reworked to minimize bump steer and maximize performance with fun.  Front disc brakes, Granada conversion and it stops on a dime. 

Floor pans have been replaced, the underside is very nice. Cowling does not leak. Bed is in very nice condition.  Heater completely restored. Interior is very stock with the original bench seats and jack+spare tire behind the seat. 

Deluxe AM radio installed  (not hooked up -- unknown condition) . I listen to MP3's over the dual voice coil speaker installed in the stock speaker mount.. 

This is an easy car to drive and inexpensive to insure and maintain.   

I've owned the car for about a year, had a recent surgery and cannot keep all my toys anymore. I will miss this car.  I am driving this car, so the miles will go up a bit.

Martin Smith retires, Joel Piaskowski in as Ford Europe design chief

Thu, 29 May 2014

The mind behind the look of much of the modern Ford global range is retiring. Martin Smith, Head of Ford Design in Europe, will give up his position on July 1 and will leave the company altogether at the end of the year. He will be replaced by current Strategic Concepts Group leader Joel Piaskowski (pictured above).
Smith has led Ford of Europe design for the past 10 years, and he was partially responsible for the brand's Kinetic Design language with a large grille and swept-back headlights found on the Focus, Fiesta and C-Max, as well as several other vehicles abroad. After stepping down on July 1 until his retirement at the end of 2014, Smith will work on a project to decide the future direction of the company's look with Moray Callum, its vice president of design.
Piaskowski already has some impressive credentials in terms of automotive design as well. He joined Ford in 2010 as director of exterior design and led the teams responsible for the 2015 Ford Mustang and next-generation F-150. He was also previously design director at Ford Asia Pacific. Before working at the Blue Oval, Piaskowski held positions at Mercedes-Benz, Hyundai and General Motors. Scroll down to read the complete announcement of this changing of the guard.

Ford's official Euro aftermarket partner Mountune coming to US

Tue, 06 Aug 2013

Now that we're getting a steady stream of Ford's European offerings, the aftermarket world is finally starting to catch up as well. UK-based aftermarket tuning company, Mountune has just announced that it will be setting up shop in California to provide high-performance and racing parts for Ford vehicles including the Focus ST and Fiesta ST.
Mountune lays claim to being Ford's "official European tuning partner," and US buyers will soon have access to these parts through Ford dealerships and with a Ford Racing warranty. Speaking of Ford Racing, Mountune also says that it will be working with Ford's in-house team to develop future components for both street and track. There are no specifics as of yet for which products will be offered here, but the company plans to launch a US-specific website later this month with more information.

Ford ST Octane Academy [w/video]

Wed, 04 Jun 2014



The ST school is about more than just handbrake turns, hot laps, and sliding into parking spaces.
I felt like such a rock star. On my second pass around the UrbanCross course (read: fancy autocross) at the Ford ST Octane Academy, I absolutely nailed the exit, sliding the bright-yellow Focus ST sideways into a box the size of a parking space, all four wheels in line.
