It is time to sell my Ranchero. I bought a car, and I don't need 2 vehicles. It is a great truck, it has the cool 72 torino nose. I have owned it for 20 years. I have fixed a bunch of little stuff on it, which makes it good deal for somebody who likes big block Ranchero's. First I installed a 750 cold cranking amp battery. Standard tuneup , pertronic electric ignition, runs great. It's a Ford and it does not leak oil. Heavy duty C6 transmission. New parts, water pump, starter, alternator, heater core, heater switch and heater motor. Fixing the heater was a lot of fun. Brakes are good, replaced a defective rotor, a leaking axle seal, replaced the front part of the dual exhaust, and topped off the rear end. New bushings on the front struts and new shocks. Frame mounted trailer hitch. I cleaned up the interior. New seat upholstery, carpet, good condition padded dash, cleaned, detailed and reinstalled all the interior parts. A forty hour job!!! New windshield. I have bought a 200 dollar set of hood springs and I will adjust the hood properly. As you can see, I have done a ton of work to my Ranchero. I have spent over 2000 dollars doing preventive maintenance. It is a solid daily driver, looks fine with the satin blue finish, or you can take to to the next level.

Former Ford CEO Mulally won't run for president
Mon, 15 Sep 2014Alan Mulally will not be following his successful term as president and CEO of Ford Motor Company with a run at an even bigger presidency. Rumors that the 68-year-old former Boeing exec would make a run at the White House sprouted after his apparent dodging of a reporter's questions about a potential candidacy during a forum in Indianapolis.
"I really think it's important that we all pull together. We really need to pull together around a compelling vision for our country and a comprehensive strategy to do it and work together. We really need to do it," Mulally said at the conference, according to The Detroit News.
He's since clarified by saying, "[I'm] honored at the suggestion, but that is not a role I am considering."

Your official Ford Transit specs are here, $29,565* to start
Wed, 04 Jun 2014Ford has released the full list of pricing and specs on its new Transit, the replacement for the long-lived E-Series cargo van. Prices are set to start at $29,565 and can increase rapidly from there, depending on length, engine and wheelbase, among other options.
Let's talk first about those new engines. The base is the familiar 3.7-liter, naturally aspirated V6. It boasts 275 horsepower and 260 pound-feet of torque and can return up to 14 miles per gallon in the city and 19 mpg on the highway. This engine can also be adapted to run on LPG or compressed natural gas. Of course, there are better alternatives, for a price, the first of which is Ford's well-received, 3.5-liter EcoBoost V6. It packs 310 hp and a best-in-class 400 lb-ft of torque (available at just 2,500 rpm) while matching the naturally aspirated engine in both city and highway fuel economy.
Then, there's the diesel. With a 3.2-liter, five-cylinder diesel mill at its disposal, the Transit generates 350 lb-ft between 1,500 and 2,500 rpm, along with 185 hp. This engine hasn't been rated by the EPA, although we'd be really, really surprised if it didn't handily best either of the gas-powered engines in fuel efficiency. A six-speed automatic is standard, regardless of engine.
