1974 Ford Ranchero 500 Arizona One Family Owned + Phoenix Arizona No Reserve on 2040-cars

Year:1974 Mileage:46699
Location:

Once in a great while you get a chance to sell an exceptional RUST FREE Arizona Classic @ No Reserve.  We know this is risky, but also believe there are enough real buyers to make this worth it.  The story here is this, it was told to me that this Ranchero 500 was a NORTHERN ARIZONA "Supposed -Actual mile~ One owner~, or at least one family owned vehicle."  (SEE PICS AND MAKE YOUR ASSESSMENT PLEASE.)

We believe this to be true due to the uncanny originality of the vehicle, the lack of any drivers side seat wear, and having the Original Extra Vin plate and delivery tag in the vehicle.  The Gentlemans name is on it, but for privacy reasons it will be blurred.   The passenger window was being worked on and the original armrest and door skin come with the Ranchero. The items are not on the passenger door at present, but pictures of their quality is available.  WE believe the Powertrain to be a 351 Cleveland with Dual exhaust.  If it is a Windsor, its your lucky day...but I doubt it.


The Ranchero is missing part of one emblem and the dash is showing some signs of its submission to the desert summers, however the summers where she has been kept rarely reach 80 degrees!!

This makes this one a "BARN FIND ARIZONA TREASURE"!! This doesn't mean perfect, but it means great as it sits, no known leaks, runs good, etc.   The title will read box c, or unverifiable mileage.  This is due to the 5 digit odometer and exemption laws.   I believe it is actual, but I cant verify due to the title status.  Most dealers make trade in vehicles BoxC, when the vehicle is over 20 years old to avoid any liability.   I understand... 


I didn't take the pictures on a fancy Golf Course this time...... you will have to imagine how gorgeous Arizona is right now, but forgive the boring background.  It is in secured storage at this time.

These have sold anywhere from $6,500 to $12,000 in this type of shape, The PRICE is in your hands as this one is SELLING TO THE LAST, and ONLY THE LAST BIDDER.




CHECK OUT THE BED!!!

Ford, GM still doing new business with Takata amidst airbag crisis

Thu, Nov 20 2014

Lengthy vehicle development times make it difficult for automakers to cut and run from the supplier. You might expect automakers to be fleeing any connection with beleaguered supplier Takata in the wake of the company's exploding airbag inflator crisis. After all, with a Senate hearing, pending lawsuit, plummeting stock value and demand for a national recall, the tier-one supplier isn't at its strongest right now. However, years of cooperation mean that automakers are standing by Takata, and necessity may be playing a role, as well. About 39 percent of Takata's business comes from airbags, and seatbelts make up another significant chunk of the operation too, says Bloomberg. The long-term relationships and lengthy vehicle development times make it difficult for automakers to cut and run from the supplier. "Takata has so much product breadth that I don't really see that they could just disappear," said AutoPacific analyst Dave Sullivan to Bloomberg. For example, Takata helped develop the unique front center airbag with General Motors in models like the Chevrolet Traverse and Buick Enclave. Outside of safety tech, it is also a partner with Ford on the adaptive steering system available on the upcoming 2015 Edge. These long-lasting partnerships make change difficult now that there's a problem. According to Reuters, automakers claim it would take a year or longer to set up with a different supplier for replacement airbag inflators. Switching to a completely different part for the repairs might not be a viable option either, because of the engineering time needed. BMW is taking action, though. According to Reuters, the Bavarian brand is working with the supplier to move inflator production from Monclova, Mexico, to a Takata factory in Freiburg, Germany. The Mexican plant may be the source of some of the faulty parts. News Source: Bloomberg, ReutersImage Credit: Jens Meyer / AP Photo BMW Ford GM Safety Takata airbag recall

2015 Ford Mustang renders reveal look of the real thing

Tue, 15 Oct 2013

This is, according to the pony-car obsessed kids over at Mustang6G.com, the closest, most accurate rendering of the new, 2015 Ford Mustang to date. Artis Chazcron used a combination of Ford CAD images and information from assorted spy shots to assemble a fairly handsome car, albeit one that conforms to the tired cliché of being more evolutionary than revolutionary.
Now, it's very important to note that these are still speculative renders, and that they only represent the base car - that could explain the lack of the Mustang's vestigial side scoops, along with other, newer styling cues that Mustang6G seems to think will arrive on production models. Those items include a new, double-bubble roof, although the Mustang aficionados claim that even if it were present, it'd barely be visible from these angles.
The front end is pretty spot on, compared to what we've seen from earlier spy shots, while the tail, with its interesting light design is something new. The louvered taillights look quite different from the current version, obviously, though Mustang has gone the whimsical route with taillights before. Also, note the new rear diffuser uses an integrated reverse light and rear foglight, the latter of which is required for sale in Europe.

Ford reveals automated Fusion Hybrid

Thu, 12 Dec 2013

Autonomous cars may still be in their infancy, but more and more big names in the auto industry are diving in head first. Nissan is already making strides with a semi-autonomous Leaf EV and General Motors is planning to offer semi-autonomous tech by 2020. And then there's Google, doing its thing with a fleet of Toyota Prius. Now, Ford is showing off its latest automated effort, a driverless Fusion Hybrid.
Partnering with the University of Michigan (Go Blue!) and State Farm Insurance, the project is part of Ford's Blueprint for Mobility, the company's plan for transportation beyond 2025. "The Ford Fusion Hybrid automated vehicle represents a vital step toward our vision for the future of mobility," Chairman Bill Ford said. "We see a future of connected cars that communicate with each other and the world around them to make driving safer, ease traffic congestion and sustain the environment."
The automated Fusion features four LiDAR infrared sensors that scan the road 2.5 million times every second, using a principle similar to the echolocation used by dolphins or bats. Using the infrared light emitted by the LiDAR, the car can draw a picture of everything within 200 feet to create a map of its surroundings. According to Ford, the sensors are able to tell the difference between a paper bag and a small animal from a football field away.
