We purchased this car from a gentleman who is a certified GM mechanic with 40 years of experience. He built the entire car himself, spending over $12,000 for materials. He spent many years to complete the project. He took this Ranchero to car shows, and enjoyed it for a few summers. He sold the car because he is starting new projects on other cars, and now you have the opportunity to own this clean, crisp newly-built Ranchero. The doors have been shaven. The gas door also is shaved and is now located in the bed of the truck for safety. It has all new gauges. The body, as you can see in the pictures, is very, very clean. There is nearly no rust on the car. The underneath the car, as shown in the photos, is clean and solid. The interior was re-done from top to bottom and it makes an old car feel like new. It also has nice tires and wheels, as shown in the pictures. When this thing starts and runs, it’s not that loud, but it sounds really healthy. The transmission shifts correctly (and that was also re-built of course). All you have to do to enjoy this fine driving machine is to put the key in and go. This is a no-reserve auction, which means that when the auction is over, the last highest bidder wins the Ranchero. Everyone who sees this car absolutely loves it. It’s just not something that you see every day. That’s what makes it special and unique. If you have any questions about the car, feel free to call Lou Davis anytime at 216-210-8488. We are selling this car as-is because we are not a dealer, and we’re not offering a warranty. We encourage all bidders to either personally stop out or check the car out for themselves, or send a certified mechanic from the area to give you a complete report on the car’s condition. When the car is sold after 7 days, please call Lou in the morning to make arrangements to complete this deal. We only accept cash or wire transfers. We do not accept Paypal, charge cards or checks. We would like the car picked up within 7 days of auction ending because we would like to have the room, but we are keeping the car safe for you inside of a locked space. If the buyer has not contacted us within 24 hours of the auction ending we will offer it to the bidder below them as a Second Chance Offer. Thanks again for looking and reading, and good luck bidding. CLICK HERE TO VIEW DOZENS OF ADDITIONAL PHOTOS OF THIS BEAUTIFUL CAR! |

Ford Mustang to get four-cylinder in Europe, but not US
Thu, 07 Mar 2013Fans of the Ford Mustang SVO, which was produced from 1884 through 1986 with a turbocharged 2.3-liter four-cylinder engine and a manual transmission, may be interested to know that Ford is reportedly going to introduce something similar for 2015. But don't get too excited if you live in the US, as Edmunds reports that the vehicle will be offered in Europe only. Boo!
According to the report, Ford will put a version of its EcoBoost turbocharged four-cylinder into the engine bay of the Mustang. The engine would be enlarged from its current 2.0 liters to 2.3 liters, taking horsepower from 252 to around 300. The well-known 5.0 V8 engine will also be available in Europe.
"The Mustang is uniquely Ford and has a huge fan base here in Europe. Now those fans have something to look forward to and we look forward to providing more details in the near future," says Ford of Europe CEO Stephen Odell. That's great... but why not offer buyers in the States the (likely) fuel-efficient turbo option, too?
Auto industry insider previews tell-all book, What Did Jesus Drive?

8 automakers, 15 utilities collaborate on open smart-charging for EVs
Thu, Jul 31 2014We're going to lead with General Motors here. GM is one of eight automakers working with 15 utilities and the Electric Power Research Institute (EPRI) at developing a "smart" plug-in vehicle charging system. Why did we start with GM? Because it's the first automaker whose press release we read that mentioned the other seven automakers. Points for sharing. For the record, the collaboration also includes BMW, Toyota, Mercedes-Benz, Honda, Chrysler, Mitsubishi and Ford. The utilities include DTE Energy, Duke Energy, Southern California Edison and Pacific Gas & Electric. The idea is to develop a so-called "demand charging" system in which an integrated system lets the plug-ins and utilities communicate with each other so that vehicle charging is cut back at peak hours, when energy is most expensive, and ramped up when the rates drop. Such entities say there's a sense of urgency to develop such a system because the number of plug-in vehicles on US roads totals more than 225,000 today and is climbing steadily. There's a lot of technology involved, obviously, but the goal is to have an open platform that's compatible with virtually any automaker's plug-in vehicle. No timeframe was disclosed for when such a system could go live but you can find a press release from EPRI below. EPRI, Utilities, Auto Manufacturers to Create an Open Grid Integration Platform for Plug-in Electric Vehicles PALO ALTO, Calif. (July 29, 2014) – The Electric Power Research Institute, 8 automakers and 15 utilities are working to develop and demonstrate an open platform that would integrate plug-in electric vehicles (PEV) with smart grid technologies enabling utilities to support PEV charging regardless of location. The platform will allow manufacturers to offer a customer-friendly interface through which PEV drivers can more easily participate in utility PEV programs, such as rates for off-peak or nighttime charging. The portal for the system would be a utility's communications system and an electric vehicle's telematics system. As the electric grid evolves with smarter functionality, electric vehicles can serve as a distributed energy resource to support grid reliability, stability and efficiency. With more than 225,000 plug-in vehicles on U.S. roads -- and their numbers growing -- they are likely to play a significant role in electricity demand side management.
