1964 Ford Ranchero Futura on 2040-cars
Gatineau, Quebec, Canada
|
This 1964 Ford Ranchero has been completely restored. It comes from Texas and, originally, it was white exterior with red interior. This truck was stripped and, a pro shop hammered every dent to make a perfect body. It is finished in a high gloss black with a red touch on the side to match the red interior of the repaint dash. The stainless has been polished, the bumper rechromed by a Montreal shop and many accessories were replaced by new one. The under body was sandblast and repainted with special undercoat paint. ($30 000 has been invested in this full restoration). The engine is powered by a 289 V8 with dual exhaust. This is a 3 speed manual transmission, RWD. The interior is original with a bench seat, the carped has been replaced and it comes with new interior Ranchero floor mats. Additional equipment includes original factory A/C system. A chrome air cleaner breather is replacing the bleu air cleaner. I am selling my last classic car after 23 years in car show business. I just bought a farm and I will concentrate on my horses. Please feel free to ask any question and I have many pictures showing the restoration. |

Ford ditching Microsoft in favor of BlackBerry QNX for next-gen Sync?
Mon, 24 Feb 2014Ask the average consumer - at least, those who follow the goings-on in the automotive industry - which carmaker they'd most closely associate Microsoft, and the answer you'd most likely get would be Ford. The Blue Oval automaker, after all, was at the forefront of bringing Microsoft technology into cars with its pioneering Sync system, and, though reality didn't turn out as such, Ford's CEO was recently touted as a potential future head of the Redmond-based software giant. But that relationship, according to the latest reports, could be coming to an end.
Alan Mullaly kiboshed the idea of leaving Dearborn for Redmond, but more importantly Ford is tipped to be ditching Microsoft in developing its next-generation Sync system. In its place, Ford is expected to partner with BlackBerry's QNX division.
Now, before you go balking "BlackBerry?! But they're finished!" consider that QNX is (or at least was) an independent entity that Research In Motion (as BlackBerry's Ontario-based parent company was then known) just happened to have bought back in 2010. QNX provides control systems to everything from nuclear power plants and UAVs to automakers like Audi, BMW and Porsche.
Curtain officially comes down on Mercury as dealers remove signage
Mon, 03 Jan 2011The process of shutting down the Mercury is complete. Ford officially made the decision to close its mid-level brand in June of 2010. In the months that followed, Ford offered its dealers money to stop selling the cars, with production shutting down in September. The last Mercury, a Mariner, rolled off the assembly line in the beginning of October and former spokesperson Jill Wagner said her good-byes to both the car and her job. Now the last piece of the brand has come down as dealers are removing any and all Mercury signage from their lots.
