True Story: (what happened to me of course every car guy dreams of; maybe more on the lines of a 58 Corvette or a 50 Merc or a all steel duece but alas it was a ranchero). I am standing in line at the auto parts store one day back in 2010 and a woman comes up behind me a casually says, " you look like a car guy!? I have a car you might be interested in!?" (Of course in milleseconds my mind raced over the possibilities). She goes on to tell me that her father recently passed away and she had been named executor of the estate and was liquidating all of her families assets which included numerous cars of which  there was only one left and it was what she felt to be the best one (now my mind is REALLY GOING!); a 1977 Ford Ranchero GT (my mind went "too new for me", bummer, oh well) as she kept on into her speel about it having been bought by her dad for her mom in 1977 (I have the original reg.) and she used it primarily on their 600 acre horse ranch running hay from one barn to another and then occasionally into town for groceries. Mom got sick and quit driving in 96 and passed away in 98. The car basicly sat on the ranch with virtually no use until dad passed away. Oh and it only has just over 25000 miles! Well, now I AM INTERESTED cuz if the price is right this could be a good investment! We went out and I checked it all out and it certainly was clean and original except that it had a recent paint job. She indicated that dad had it resprayed after it sitting in one of the barns for 12 years and was planning on driving it when he then got sick. Anyways, we dickered back and forth and  I felt sorry for her predicament so, here we are.. I have spent the last couple of years with her but there truly has only been one owner of this car in  my mind, me just being a temperary caretaker.

The first thing I did was take it to my mechanic where he drained and flushed the engine, trans rear end and radiator and replaced all the fluids with ne. Then he removed and replaced all the radiator hoses, vaccuum hoses and belts. He also drained the a/c and replace the o-rings and recharged it with new gas. New plugs and wires and a carb rebuild and it was set for smog certification and tags.

I have put 3000 miles on it in 3 years, replaced the carb, and also had to replace the voltage regulator. I had to plug one tire and I replaced the headliner with a factory replacement. I also patched the passenger side interior door jamb because of a mouse nest built inside the fender back when it sat idle. The air compressor took a dump last year and I have not replaced it but I am such an honest car guy that I will discount the selling price 150.00 for a replacement. The only thing not repaired is a non working gas gauge and clock.

This car rides like a Cadillac; no joke! It drives easily with one finger and the brakes are strong and smooth. The paint is a beautiful 5 footer, having its minimal amount of stone chips but not one dent in the entire exterior of the body except for two nickel sized dents on the back bed area; one on the back wall and one in the tailgate area. For any of you lucky enough to live in a smog free state? This car is ripe for enhancements!

The current value pricing on this car in the NADA Guide is: Low;6020    Avg.;13785    High;21050

This car easily falls into the Avg. class but I am setting the reserve WAY below that. Don't bother me with asking about it. I figure that I can make alittle on this car and let the next guy enjoy it and be able to make something off of it too. I'm all about enjoyable experiences when it come to cars. I certainly reserve the right to cancel this auction at any time as I have the car for sale elsewhere also.

Hurry while you can for THIS CAR WILL SELL because I am not being stingy and I don't need to sell it!!! Take this opportunity to pick something up that you can get some enjoyment out of and still make a profit! It don't get no better than that!

2017 North American Car, Truck, and Utility of the Year entries announced

Wed, Jul 6 2016

Over 40 vehicles will compete for the 2017 North American Car, Truck, and Utility of the Year awards. If that name looks a little strange, it's because the competition added a third category. In years past, pickup trucks, crossovers, SUVs, commercial vans, and minivans competed for the same award. That's why there were occasionally weird comparisons, like last year's competition between the Volvo XC90 and Nissan Titan XD. The new format separates pickups and commercial vans into the truck contest and CUVs, SUVs, and minivans into the utility competition. A complete list of eligible vehicles is below, but here are a few highlights. For one, the entire list of entries has a luxurious lean. Of the 43 vehicles, nearly half of them are from premium brands. There are two eligible Bentleys – the Bentayga and Mulsanne – the Rolls-Royce Dawn, Jaguar F-Pace, Audi Q7, and the Mercedes-Benz GLS-, E-, and S-Class Maybach. The performance ranks are lofty, too, with the Audi R8, Acura NSX, Alfa Romeo Giulia, Mercedes SL- and SLC-Class, Porsche 718, and F-150 Raptor. The mainstream entries are just as comprehensive. From the Chrysler Pacifica to the Chevrolet Cruze to the Fiat 124 Spider to the Mitsubishi Mirage, NACTOY has covered an enormous price range with this year's contestants. Of course, these are only the eligible vehicles. They'll need to run through three rounds of judging, starting in September at NACTOY's traditional Hell, MI, test drive. The Canadian and American journalists involved in the judging will announce this year's nine finalists – three in each category – on December 6.
