1973 Ford Ranchero GT
This is an all origional 73 Ranchero GT that has been inside for a long time. I purchased from the origional owner. Car runs and drives Great. Was not neglected. Battery was charged and had been started every so often and moved around. The car/Truck has origional paint with exception of a couple of places. Both rear quarters were painted from stripe down back in early 80's have reciepts for that. There is rusted through places behind both rear wheels. No more holes rusted through in car. Body is very straight with nothing more than a ding here and there maybe 5 or so. Worst one being on the hood about the size of a half dollar. Car has had the camper shell on it since new. Also has carpet back there, that if removed would be a dent free bed that would slick out nicely. Camper is "ugly" but i wanted to leave it on so that it would be with car.
Car has 429 4V engine with auto transmission. Does not smoke, or have any blowback from valve cover. Transmission shifts good as it should. Power steering leaks fluid very bad from a hose that needs replacing. Has power brakes, and is an air conditioned car. Belt is off of A/C compressor but compressor is NOT locked up.
Interior is completely origional with floor mats made into the carpet. Looped carpet is fuzzed up on drivers side from getting in and out. Seats are good with a little wear and tear on drivers seat. Dash is perfect, door panels are dried out but look ok they would need attention. Headliner has a couple of places where the stitching has come out, about 4 or 5 inches long. Does have the curtain that covers up spare tire and storage area behind seats and it is in good condition. Spare tire and all of the jack and assesories are there.
Tires have been on the car since, he said 82. They have almost new tread but are dry rotted and would need replaced. I bought the car and washed and vaccumed interior. Did not wax or polish exterior or Armor All interior, as not to cause any problems for a body shop. Car would make excelent project for restore or fix a few things and drive as is. There is nothing missing from car or added to car except trailer hitch. No surprises from something being covered up.
You are welcome to come and look at car before bidding. I am selling with NO RESERVE. At auction end buyer must pay a $500 deposit though PayPal with the balance due at pick up. CASH or CASHIER CHECK
CAR COMES WITH BILL OF SALE, AS TITLES DO NOT APPLY IN ALABAMA PRIOR TO 1975. HOWEVER I DO HAVE A UTAH CERTIFICATE OF TITLE THAT WAS ISSUED WHEN CAR WAS BOUGHT NEW

Jim Farley to lead Ford of Europe
Fri, 07 Nov 2014

2015 Ford Mustang already under recall, but just 53 units
Sun, 19 Oct 2014Ford has issued a small - but significant - recall for one of its spotlight cars: the 2015 Mustang.
The recall affects just 53 cars, with 50 in the United States and three in Canada. Ford said the passenger side safety belt buckle tension sensor may not have been calibrated properly by the supplier. This could lead to "misclassification" of the passenger seat occupant, and could cause the airbag to deploy improperly.
A Ford spokesperson didn't immediately respond to a request for comment. In a statement, the automaker said it is not aware of any accidents or injuries, and dealers will replace the buckle assembly at no cost to customers. The cars affected were built at Flat Rock Assembly Plant in Michigan from Aug. 18 to Oct. 2.
2014 Roush Stage 3 Mustang
Fri, 26 Jul 2013Up until now, it's been some years since I managed to get behind the wheel of the hot Mustangs tuned by the folks at Roush Performance. My memories of those vehicles are fond, as the Roush up-fits usually make for better-driving examples of the iconic Ford pony, with better-tuned suspensions, excellent short-shift kits and, of course, huge additions of power. The wake-your-neighbors aural characteristics of these cars have been nothing short of outstanding, too.
But in the years since my last experience with the Roush formula, Ford's own development team has churned out some pretty potent 'Stangs. We currently live in a world where the Blue Oval will sell you a Mustang with 662 horsepower from the factory, and the recently departed Boss 302 remains one of the best Mustangs - and best sports coupes - the Autoblog crew has ever driven.
So with great-driving and hugely powerful Mustangs coming straight off the line at Ford's Flat Rock Assembly Plant, does the Roush package still offer that extra special something to make it stand out? I spent a week with a Stage 3 coupe to find out.
