      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 recalls over 500,000 trucks and SUVs, including Explorer, F-150, and Lincoln Aviator

Fri, Aug 30 2019

For the second time in a month, Ford is recalling the brand-new 2020 Explorer and 2020 Lincoln Aviator for minor safety issues. This recall, which also affects certain 2018-2020 Ford F-150s, 2019-2020 Ford F-Series Super Duty trucks, 2018-2019 Ford Explorers, and 2019-2020 Ford Expeditions, pertains to potentially faulty seat-back reclining mechanisms. In total, the recall touches 550,186 vehicles. A mechanical part meant for relaxation and comfort has the Ford Motor Company stressin'. Ford says potentially affected vehicles might be missing the "third pawl required for seat-back strength" in the reclining mechanisms on certain seats. Because of this, the seats might not properly keep a person in place during the event of a crash or otherwise.  In the F-150s, F-Series Super Duty trucks, 2018-2019 Explorers, and Expeditions, the recall affects vehicles with manual driver and/or front passenger seat-back recliners. On the 2020 Explorers and Lincoln Aviators, rear outboard seats with manual recliners are of concern. Of the more than 550,000 vehicles, 483,325 vehicles are in the United States, 58,712 are in Canada and 8,149 are in Mexico. Thus far, Ford is not aware of any injuries from the issues. Ford says it expects most vehicles will not need repair, but dealers will inspect the seat structures out of precaution. If fault is found, dealers will replace the seat structure altogether. For this recall, Ford's reference number is 19C07. Contact your dealer for more information. Featured Gallery 2020 Ford Explorer View 47 Photos Recalls Ford Lincoln Truck SUV

Ford demonstrates Mustang's new Line Lock burnout feature

Tue, 22 Apr 2014

Been saving your pennies for a 2015 Ford Mustang? Put in a few extra shifts or some overtime? Got a great down payment ready? Well, however much you saved for your new pony car, start saving more - you'll need the extra money to spend on tires.
That's because the Mustang will come with a system called Line Lock, which can lock the front brakes electronically, allowing drivers to perform big, dumb, smoky burnouts without moving so much as an inch. It's sort of like launch control, only the average driver might actually use it.
Now, line locks aren't uncommon, particularly in drag racing. Usually, a flip of the switch locks the front brakes. The Mustang, besides offering the system from the factory which is unique in and of itself, looks a bit more involved.

Which is more fuel efficient, driving with a pickup's tailgate up or down?

Tue, 26 Aug 2014



Thanks to the smoke wand in the wind tunnel, you can actually see the difference in our video.
Should you drive with your pickup truck's tailgate up or down? It's an age-old controversy that's divided drivers for decades. Traditionalists will swear you should leave the tailgate down. Makes sense, right? It would seem to let the air flow more cleanly over the body and through the bed. But there's also a school of thought that argues trucks are designed to look and operate in a specific manner, and modern design techniques can help channel the airflow properly. So don't mess with all of that: Leave the tailgate up.
