1976 Ford Ranchero 500 truck. This is an interesting vehicle, and while very familiar with Mustangs and Torinos of the era, I have never owned a Ranchero in my life. One of my tenants found himself in a jam with job scheduling and needed to move to FL at the last minute and could not take the Ranchero with him, thus he left it in my care to help him sell it. I am posting it here, to sell to the highest bidder with NO RESERVE. It is a solid truck, and it runs very well.
It has the standard 5.7L powertrain, powered with what I believe to be either a 351M or a 400 engine in it ( the 351C would have a "2" or a " 4" in the upper front corner of the cylinder heads. This one does not), mated to its stock C6 automatic transmission, with stock 9" differential.
The engine runs SUPER; always starts right up, idles smoothly and gets up and goes without hesitation. Very strong motor, does not burn oil or smoke. The transmission shifts well into all forward and reverse gears, without slippage. The differential is tight, with no axle noises or ring/ pinion chatter or bearing noises.
The body looks fairly straight, and it looks to have had a paint job somewhat recently. It actually looks very good. There are a couple of trim bits missing; I do not know what they are or where, so please note, the car is sold exactly as you see it, nothing more or nothing less.
The Ranchero has a set of vintage slotted dish mag wheels ( in total 1970s fashion), with an older set of Comp/ TA tires. The tread on the tires is about 70% all around.
The interior is very simple, without a lot of gadgets or frills. There is some wear to the outer areas of the split bench seat as pictured ( it has a center armrest). Door panels are in good shape ( except for the snap on the lower area of the driver's, as pictured), glass on both doors is fine and both windows go up and down fine ( they are manual). NO cracks on the windshield.
The registration has just been paid up all the way thru 2014. This Ford Ranchero 500 has a CLEAR California title, and it passed stringent CA Emissions inspections less than thirty days ago.
Overall, a solid workhorse, runaround truck or a great truck to soup-up or hotrod. It is listed here with a ridiculous opening bid and NO RESERVE. That being said, the Ranchero is listed in other venues as well as locally, and as such, I reserve to the right to end this auction early if a serious buyer or aBUY-IT-NOW offer presents itself.
Feel free to EM or call me with questions, and I will try to provide as much information as possible. You can call (650) 430-4660 PST, no later than 9 pm please ( I have little kids).
I will be glad to arrange / assist with nationwide or overseas delivery of this cool Ranchero anywhere, at the most economical shipping rate available.
Should you be the winning bidder, I would like to receive payment within THREE business days, please. Instrument of payment can be a cashier's check or money order(s). Personal, Business, C.C advance or annuity drafts may be utilized, but must clear all funding prior to any transportation arrangements being made.
Additionally, a bank wire transfer may be used to my local CHASE Bank branch in San Mateo. It expedites the process considerably and allows for faster shipping arrangements.
Finally, PAYPAL may be an alternative, if arrranged between the prospective buyer and seller prior to placing a bid, and prior to the end of the auction, not afterwards.
PLEASE be sure to ask any and all questions before the end of the auction.
Thank you for your interest~!

Ford vandalizes the SEMA Show floor with 2014 Transit Connect
Tue, 05 Nov 2013The Ford booth here at SEMA is practically a 1970s throwback with all these customized vans sitting front and center. And we're completely fine with that. Take the black and yellow (black and yellow, black and yellow) 2014 Transit Connect from Mobsteel above. It's got a great stance, sits on steel wheels and has a pretty cool paint job and graphics package to boot.
Of course, that's not the only van you can see at the Ford booth. In fact, there are 10 Transit Connect vans on display from Ford here at SEMA, and you can see them all in our live gallery of high-res images above. Then, if you want to know more about each specific model, feel free to scroll down to read all about these vans in the official press release from Ford.
Couple fined for parking Ford F-150 in their own driveway
Tue, Jan 20 2015A homeowners' association in New York is suing two of its residents for parking their pickup truck in their own driveway. David and Arna Orlando of Manlius, NY, are facing a lawsuit from the Kimry Moor Homeowners Association for parking their black 2014 Ford F-150 pickup in their own driveway. The Orlandos own their home, but common areas such as their driveway are managed by their HOA, which limits what vehicles can park in the open. They only allow "private, passenger-type, pleasure automobiles" to park outside of a garage. David Orlando says his pickup is a personal passenger vehicle and that the rule is silly. He also feels he is being unfairly targeted. A Syracuse.com reporter drove around the Orlandos' neighborhood and saw another fullsize pickup parked in another driveway, along with a large van and SUV. The Orlandos said in court documents that the pickup is registered as a private vehicle and neither of them have commercial drivers' licenses. The lawsuit was filed in August 2013 and is still in the discovery phase. Depositions are up next. New York seems to have gone power-mad when it comes to regulating common driveway activities. In a Garden City, NY, neighborhood last year police were called when two men began washing a new Volkswagen "in public view", which was against a local ordinance.

Top Gear season 25 opens with a V8 roadtrip through America
Mon, Feb 26 2018Great news for fans of BBC Top Gear: the first episode of season 25 is here. Viewers of BBC America will catch the season opener on March 3, and for the American audience this episode is definitely suitable watching. The episode has been dedicated to V8 sportscars almost in its entirety, as it's been wrapped around a Western roadtrip with a motorsport bias. The three hosts get to choose three V8 sports cars, with the basic idea of finding the best all-rounder. Matt LeBlanc goes for a Hennessey-tuned GT350R, Rory Reid chooses a Jaguar F-Type SVR, and Chris Harris shakes up the pack by selecting a McLaren 570GT. It's a nicely varied trio, with V8 power still showing what it's good for. There are various challenges along the way, just like there should be on a Top Gear roadtrip episode – even if the road surface itself isn't always ideal. But things smoothen out, all the way to a NASCAR oval and an airport runway; the flooded Bonneville salt flats aren't suitable for shenanigans, so substitutes have to be found. The trio also hit dirt roads, and have to evade a buggy-driving Ken Block during a "moonshine run to the border." Fans of Sabine Schmitz will be pleased to find her piloting a chain car racer, which consists of two American junk cars with a Honda CRX chained in the middle. It must make sense to someone. The Star In A Reasonably Priced Car segment has been retained for this season. This time it's the British actor Rob Brydon driving the Toyota GT86, on a very wet lap around the show's Dunsfold Aerodrome track that must be a cult classic by now. All in all, the season 25 opener is exactly what it says on the tin. There's nothing out of the ordinary, but it still has excellent cinematography, V8 roar and some nice landscapes. Classic Top Gear. Cowboy duels, Sabine Schmitz chain car racing, @RobBrydon, a @kblock43 car chase and #TheStig The latest episode of #TopGear is available on @BBCiPlayer now. Outside the UK?
