You are bidding on a very rare 1970 Ford Ranchero GT with its original 'M code' 351 Cleveland 4bbl high performance engine. I am listing this car for a friend that doesn't use a computer much. His name is Gene, and I would recommend calling him directly for questions since it is his car. 541-973-1962. They only made 3,905 GT's this year. About half came with the Cleveland. This car is a barn find that runs and drives. New brake shoes and spring kit on rear, plus new disc pads in the front, as well as a new master cylinder. It may still need a new booster for the brakes to work well. This car is an original A/C car. The compressor is off, but is included. The body is very straight overall. Paint is shiny, but has enough chips and scratches to warrant a respray. I would put it back to the original color which is just under this one layer of paint. Dash cluster needs replaced, and the car comes with a good one. There is a small dent in the right rear, and that tail light has some damage, but there is a good one that goes with the car.

· 351 Cleveland Holley four barrel carb
· FMX Automatic Transmission
· Ford 9" rear end
· Power steering, Power disc Brakes, A/C car
· True M Code GT car
· Nice extra Dash Cluster included
· Nice extra Front Bumper
· Original color was Grabber Green
· Remote adjust side mirror
· Dual exhaust W/ full length headers - needs new gaskets
· Lights, turn signals all work
· Needs windshield wiper motor
· New shoes, disc pads and Master Cylinder
· Glass and trim in nice shape all around

For more info call Gene @ 541-973-1962

This Ranchero would be a great car you could drive and restore at the same time. The collector value can only go up on such a low production, popular classic. I am selling a 1966 Ranchero that I personally restored that is also listed on E-bay right now. As with any used car it will be sold "as-is", and will come with a clear, numbers matching Oregon state title. The car will need to be paid for within 7 days of auction ending. Checks will need time to clear before car is picked up. Again, I am only the middleman on this car, so give Gene a call if you would like to know more. Thanks

It's Official: Ford Names Mark Fields Its Next CEO

Thu, May 1 2014

Alan Mulally, the man who transformed Ford Motor Co. from a dysfunctional money-loser to a thriving company, will retire July 1 and be replaced by Mark Fields, the current chief operating officer. During his eight-year tenure at Ford, Mulally gambled all of the company's assets on a credit line that kept Ford out of bankruptcy, then used a simple "One Ford" plan to change the company's culture. He was hired away from aircraft maker Boeing Co. in 2006 by Bill Ford, who at the time was running the company. Fields, 53, has been in charge of Ford's daily operations since December of 2012 and was widely expected to one day ascend to the top job. The change in leadership is taking place about six months ahead of schedule, but Ford said that was based on Mulally's recommendation that the new leaders were ready. "Alan and I feel strongly that Mark and the entire leadership team are absolutely ready to lead Ford forward, and now is the time to begin the transition," Bill Ford said in a statement Thursday morning. Bill Ford, the company's executive chairman, is the great-grandson of company founder Henry Ford. Mulally, 68, was trained as an aeronautical engineer. He spent 36 years at Boeing - and was president of the company's commercial airplane division - when Bill Ford lured him to the struggling automaker eight years ago. Mulally overcame skepticism about being an outsider in the insular ranks of Detroit car guys by quickly pinpointing the reasons why Ford was losing billions each year. Mulally put a stop to the infighting that had paralyzed the company and instituted weekly management meetings where executives faced new levels of accountability and were encouraged to work together to solve problems. It took two years for Mulally to turn the company around, but since 2009, Ford has posted pretax profits of $34.5 billion and its shares have more than doubled. Fields was one of the executives passed over when Mulally got the top job in 2006. When he was named COO in 2012, Bill Ford said Fields' decision to stay at Ford and learn from Mulally showed a lot of fortitude and has made Fields a better leader. "There was a lot of speculation about whether he was capable. To his great credit, he stuck to it, he learned from it and showed tremendous fortitude in grinding through an incredibly difficult process," Bill Ford said. This marks the second change in leadership at the top of one of the Detroit automakers this year.

This 2,000-hp Mustang is in serious need of wheelie bars

Tue, 25 Feb 2014

The Ford Mustang on the right is drag racing with the standard technique. The Mustang on the left, driven by David Measell, is using a new "rear bumper only" technique that evidently surprised everyone at the South Georgia Motorsports Park strip - including Measell.
Measell said his outfit just bought the car the week before the event, noting that it has more than 2,000 horsepower. Speaking of his "flying" run, Measell said, "We turned it up to dip on down," by which he meant they turned up the power in order to get his time down. Turns out all that power and all that traction sent the nose straight up into the air almost as soon as the race began.
He told an interviewer afterward that this was his first race in a "regular car" since he normally drives a pro-mod. "I like my wheelie bars," he concluded. You can see how he got there in the video below.

Ford pits Cobra Jet versus GRC Fiesta ST, worlds collide

Thu, 31 Oct 2013

Racing takes on many forms in the automotive world. There are sanctioned events that are as varied and diverse as NASCAR, Formula One, Global Rallycross and drag racing, and to be good enough to win competitively in one discipline, you need to have a specialized vehicle. Or do you?
Ford decided to find out what would happen when its Global Rallycross Fiesta ST, driven by Tanner Foust, lined up against its Mustang Cobra Jet drag racer, driven by Roy Hill. In one lane, Tanner has just 2.0 liters of displacement to work with, while Roy has more than double that, at 5.0 liters. Evening the playing field a bit, Tanner has a massive turbocharger and all-wheel drive; Roy has to filter all his supercharged power through the rear wheels only.
So, who wins? We suggest you see for yourself in the press release and video below. And we're holding out hope that Tanner's challenge at the end results in another video from Ford Racing...
