For sale here is a friends 1978 Ford Ranchero that read 61142 miles on the odometer which i think is correct but Not 100% sure  The car was a daily driver  for the past year or two,  from what we were told by the  prev owner who bought it new the 351W  was rebuilt about 15000 miles ago, the car was running well  until it overheated the other day,so changed all the hoses,thermostat,fluids and radiator, drove around  no over heating and ac was working mint ,and as it was in front of the house  the head gasket let go lots of smoke from exhaust shut it down pushed it in the driveway and well there it sit not going to put anymore money into the car.The car was and always ran great the car is in ok shape no show car here but if fixed should be fine, or for  parts . one rear 1/4 is in primer the other has a rust spot just above the gas cap,tailgate rough.If youre good with body work prob not to bad,but car does need a bit of at TLC just being hones dont want to give any surprises  look at pictures and or come by first and look at the car in person.The price  is definitely not set in stone anything fair  would prob be just fine...  will probably only list once .Like I said it was running great and I believe all it needs is a set of head gaskets, it has rear air shocks, new radiator thermostat,tires in good shape,nice weld rims,side pipes,auto on the column, working AC, the bed cover is just plywood and vinyl nothing fancy but it keeps the leaves and stuff out.Any  questions feel free to ask, might part out if its worth it if not  will be priced to sell quick just get it out of my yard  LOL .......

NHTSA investigating Ford Fiesta for faulty door latches

Mon, 15 Sep 2014

The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration has opened a preliminary investigation on the 2011-2013 Ford Fiesta because the regulator has received 61 complaints from drivers, including one claim of an injury, about the doors on the subcompacts failing to latch and sometimes even flying open while driving. NHTSA has estimated that the problem could affect as many as 205,000 vehicles.
NHTSA is still gathering further data about the problem, but looking at the complaints so far, both front and rear doors appear to be potentially involved with the alleged failures. Among the reports, there are 12 claiming that the door opened while driving. Several also indicate the "Door Ajar" warning illuminating during this problem. The one purported injury happened when someone attempted to shut the door, and it bounced back.
Ford spokesperson Kelli Felker told Autoblog via email, "We are cooperating with NHTSA on this investigation, as we always do." Scroll down to read the report from NHTSA.

Jay Leno sees how the other half lives with CHP cop cars new and old

Mon, 01 Jul 2013

Comedian Jay Leno is changing gears from driving fast cars to checking out some of the police cruisers that regularly chase down and dish out punishment to those fast cars. In this episode of Jay Leno's Garage, we get the lowdown on the modifications made to the Ford Explorer for the Interceptor package (which looks pretty tough in its California Highway Patrol livery).
The new Ford is cool, but cooler still are the pack of classic CHP cars that Jay has along for the episode. A 1982 Mustang, 1966 Dodge Polara, 1970 Mercury Monterey and 2000 Crown Victoria are all in the shop. Better still, Jay lays out an argument for ones of the classic cruisers as the best cop car of all time. Get your guesses in now, and then scroll down to watch and learn.

Ford recalling select Taurus, Explorer and Lincoln MKS models over fuel tanks

Sun, 31 Mar 2013

Ford is recalling certain 2012 Taurus, 2013 Explorer and 2012 Lincoln MKS models over fuel tank concerns. According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, vehicles built between July 19, 2011 and March 15, 2012 may have been built with fuel tanks that have a "marginally sealed seam" on the side. Those seams may not provide the strength necessary to protect the tank from rupture during a collision. They may also leak. The recall covers a total of 3,037 vehicles. NHTSA says that leaked fuel, in the presence of an ignition source, could easily cause a fire.
Dealers will inspect the tanks and replace them as need be free of charge. Owners can expect to be notified once the campaign begins on or around April 22, 2013. You can read the full NHTSA recall notice below for more information.
