1978 Fairmont home built Ranchero,I have owned this for about three years, I got it from a friend who bought it in 1995.He had replaced the engine with a 5.0 that only had 20k miles .The car had 72k miles when it was put in,it now has 92k miles on the car, so the engine has around 40k miles.It has an edlebrock intake,edlebrock carb,and dual exaust with a C-4 trans and a 2.79 rear gear. It cruises good on the freeway and gets pretty good fuel milage.The car has nice driver quality paint and the interior is in good original condition.I have replaced the fuel pump,brakes, front disc and rear drums,and 4 new tires.The paint is less than a year old,I repainted it because the clear coat was fading in several spots,there was not any rust repair.Overall this is a good dependable daily driver that is different. The air still works,and it has a new Va. inspection.This car needs a few small cosmetic things to be nicer,the rubber at the edge of the door where the windows roll up needs replaced.It needs to be cleaned and detailed under the hood,and the back window needs to have the tint replaced,also it would not hurt to have a better stereo,it still has a cassette player.

 I would like this car to be picked up in person so you can see what you are getting,if you do not like the car at that time you will not have to take it.I would not hesitate to drive this car a long distance home. I drove it on a 300 mile trip a few weeks ago.If you have any questions you may call Darrell at 276-628-6540 (H) 276-608-4193(C)276-628-8257 OFFICE.

Hennessey completes first VelociRaptor SUV conversion [w/video]

Mon, 20 May 2013

Start with a Ford F-150 SVT Raptor as your base vehicle for modification, and chances are high that you'll end up with something pretty cool. Now, have those modifications done by professional lunatics Hennessey Performance, make the project turning the pickup into an ultra-long SUV, and the result stands a real chance of being a total kick in the ass. Let us present the Hennessey VelociRaptor then, in all of its awesomeness.
Hennessey has taken care in grafting a "Expedition style" rear cabin onto the Raptor, complete with an optional third row. The pictures we have show a cabin that's up to the fit and finish standards of the original Ford truck, too. The cab added over the bed also makes room for a massive load space out back, accessible via split out-folding doors and long enough for a person to lay down in (see video).
Mechanically, the truck-turned-SUV sticks with Ford's stock 6.2-liter V8, rated at 411 horsepower, or can be had with a supercharger and some 600 hp. Hennessey says the stock-motor VelociRaptor will run from 0-60 miles per hour in 7.5 seconds, while the hi-po version takes just 5.9 seconds. The SUV does take some of the off-road ability away from the Raptor, with the company saying it hasn't yet had the opportunity to test its capabilities. On-roading and "moderate off-road duties" are the current prescription.

New UAW boss Williams talks tough, vows 'no more concessions'

Sun, 08 Jun 2014

Dennis Williams, the newly elected president of the UAW, had some tough words for American automakers in his inauguration speech at the 2014 UAW Convention, striking down the possibility of any additional concessions from the 400,000-strong union.
"No more concessions. We are tired of it. Enough is enough," Williams said during his speech. UAW employees have not received a raise in nearly 10 years, according to Reuters.
Considering the recent strong results for Ford, Chrysler and General Motors, the union's demands are likely to carry a bit more weight in next year's negotiations. And considering Williams' tough stance, we could be in for some fireworks once negotiations commence.
