1972 Ranchero GT 351 CobraJet ('Q' Code car) Frame-up Restoration I really hate to sell this car. If it wasn’t for the opportunity to buy a very special car from my brother, I wouldn’t be selling it. I currently have six cars and I may need to sell two of them to get enough cash for the car I want to buy. Selling this car means taking a loss. I’ve got a lot of time (800+ hrs) and money ($30,000+) invested in the restoration of this car. I’ve kept all the receipts (see picture of paperwork folder). The car is mostly original other than the colors (inside and out) and a lot of powder coating underneath, including the frame. I also had a very nice spray-in bed liner put in so I could occasionally use the car as a utility vehicle, like hauling a Christmas tree. There’s hardly a nut or bolt on the car that wasn’t replaced or re-plated during the restoration. I am very detail oriented and tried to deal with every little detail, every nut-n-bolt, all wiring connections, all the rubber, etc. I took nearly a hundred pictures during the whole project. I’ve included a few pictures from the restoration to try to show the level of detail, such as the steering column taken COMPLETELY apart and every part restored. I’ve restored several cars and I’m currently restoring a ‘70s British sports car (a Jensen Healey). The engine was rebuilt by a local speed shop called Hawaii Racing (they‘re on the web). I didn’t have them upgrade the engine for speed, since that usually means giving up some engine vacuum. Lots of things on the car need that vacuum. Instead, they put in a better cam. I also had the engine (carburetor) dyno-tuned. The carburetor is a Holley Street Avenger (670 cfm) and topped it off with a K&N air filter. This is a some-what rare engine, the CobraJet version of the 351 Cleveland. It has an aluminum intake manifold and a “four-bolt main“. The C6 transmission was also rebuilt, as well as, the A/C compressor. The car also has the factory tow package which consists of a rear sway bar, trailer wiring, and a trailer hitch. I’ve replaced the bolt-on trailer hitch with a much nicer welded-on class III hitch (before I had the frame powder coated). In addition, I’ve put on adjustable air shocks in the rear to level the load. I decided not to restore the car to be completely original since I already had another car that was completely original. I get a lot of complements on this car every time I take it out. I restored the car to show quality and I have gotten a couple of trophies over the last several years. I’ve only put 12,000 miles on the car since I finished the restoration in 2003. As such, there are a few minor imperfections in the paint now thanks to a pebble or two on the highway. The stereo is made by Custom Autosound and has a cassette player with a 6 CD changer under the drivers seat with two speakers in the doors and two behind the seats. I also put in an alarm system that also controls the power door locks and I’ve tinted the windows. The 16” rims are from Ultra Wheels. They were also sold under the Edelbrock name for a few years. The car came with air conditioning, power steering, power brakes, and power windows. The air conditioning system has been converted to R-134. I also now have a couple of Marti reports on the car which I can provide upon request (to serious bidders). Regarding the terms of the sale; I will need a $500 deposit within two days of the purchase and the reminder via a wirer transfer before I will sign over the title. |

RWD Lincolns are coming, fate depends partly on MKZ success
Tue, 04 Dec 2012The product portfolio at Lincoln may seem a bit sparse at the moment, but if a report is to be believed, new products are on the way. TheDetroitBureau.com spoke with sources at Lincoln and Ford, who claimed the American premium brand is working on, perhaps more than one, rear-wheel-drive vehicle.
Lincoln would likely platform-share with the next-generation Ford Mustang to develop those RWD offerings in the early going. Moving forward, the report indicates that Lincoln could take the lead on other rear-drive projects in the future. As the RWD architecture continues to take shape, "most or all" of the front-wheel-drive portfolio will also be offered with all-wheel drive as an option, ala Audi.
But wait, there's more! The report also suggests that a replacement for the full-size MKS is on the way, as well as a new Navigator and a luxury crossover based on the current Ford Escape.
Ford Mustang SVT caught looking fierce on the 'Ring
Tue, 15 Jul 2014The next-generation Ford Mustang SVT is one of the most anticipated performance cars of the moment. We've already seen it testing multiple times, but it has always been covered is some very heavy camouflage. However, Ford has just given us our best view yet of the new muscle car. According to our spy photographer, the Mustang was at the Nürburgring for high-speed testing, which meant that the Blue Oval had to remove most of the heavy obfuscation that the SVT has worn previously.
The stylish, more revealing camo makes picking out some of the more interesting details about the SVT rather easy. Starting from the front, there is the big hood scoop to feed cold air to its still mysterious engine. You can also immediately make out the model's new grille and lower front air dam. It has a vertical piece running from the bottom of the hood all the way to the ground. The aggressive styling almost gives the 'Stang the look of two fangs ready to bite down. The hood seam is even taped off here, which shows us its outline.
Around the side, it appears that the front and rear fenders are wider than stock, and the sills are certainly much larger. You can also just make out the SVT's bigger brakes behind its black wheels with a polished lip. Finally, at the rear, things appear mostly stock other than the diffuser that the exhaust outlets nestle into.
