1978 Ford Ranchero with a V8 motor we think is a 351 Cleveland. You can look at the photo of the motor. We have a clean title in our possession. This car has been sitting for the last several years in a guy's yard here in Las Vegas. We got the motor to start and run and the car to move. We cannot guarantee it in any way shape or form. The odometer listed is the five digits showing on the speedometer. We do not know what the actual milage of the car is since its only five digits. We suspect any one who bought this would want to go through it as part of the restoration process. The glass seems fairly intact except the windshield does have a crack in it. -see the photo- The rear window looks like it was "gunked in" with some sort of glue.-see the photo- When we got the car it had a bunch of junk in the bed. After we cleaned it out, it left a lot of surface rust, but there are no cancer holes we can spot. In fact most of the sheet metal seems to be pretty straight and cancer free. We tried to take photos of the side to show what we believe is good shape. Nose seems to be complete and pretty good condition. Most of the chrome looks ok also. Rear Bumper has been whacked and is dented. We took a photo of the undercarriage to show the condition the frame and undercarriage is in. The frame looks straight and not eaten with rust. The car came with factory air but the compressor is missing. The headliner is dried out and sagging where the stiches are. Dash is dried and cracked. Seats are dry rotted from sitting in the sun, carpet also. We will be happy to show the car to anyone who is in Las Vegas from 8-5 Mon-Fri. It is in our yard at 2810 N Nellis Blvd. Please call 702-354-6723 to make other arrangements to see the car. Car is sold as is where is. Shipping is the buyer's responsibility. We will help load this car onto a transport truck.

Did a US automaker blow the whistle on Hyundai, Kia fuel economy issue?
Mon, 17 Dec 2012In all of the most hotly contested mainstream segments of the motoring universe, the difference of one mile per gallon averaged on a widow sticker can mean the difference between a sale and a walk-off - to say nothing of two or three mpg. So, when Hyundai and Kia were forced to reveal that many of their 40-mpg ratings were actually 38s and 37s, well, it made for big news.
It also, conceivably, made for a competitive disadvantage immediately, when the Korean automakers' products were being shopped versus the guys down the block. And it's that disadvantage that makes a recent story from Automotive News so juicy.
AN is reporting that Margo Oge, former head of the Environmental Protection Agency's Office of Transportation and Air Quality, got a tip in 2010 that Hyundai/Kia were "cheating" to get its impressive fuel economy numbers. The tip, said Oge (who retired from the EPA this past September), came from a senior vice president from a domestic automaker. The source was credible enough for Oge to launch an audit of the Hyundai figures, which ultimately lead to the debacle that we reported on a few months ago, and that the Korean company has been trying to bounce back from ever since.
2013 Ford C-Max Hybrid
Thu, 02 May 2013No Prius Killer
As much as we enthusiasts like to rail on the lowly Toyota Prius as the harbinger of death for all we hold dear, there's no denying the machine's absolute and interminable grip on the hybrid hatchback market in the United States. Toyota has so thoroughly sunk its teeth into the segment that you can clearly hear the automaker's incisors clacking against one another with the conclusion of each financial quarter. And there's little wonder why. Buyers can plop down less than $25,000 and have a runabout that can return up to an estimated 51 miles per gallon in the city, leaving every other entry on the market with precious little gristle to gnaw on.
Enter the 2013 Ford C-Max Hybrid. With its claimed 47 mpg combined, the funky little hatch from Europe already falls behind the 48 mpg city offered by the Prius, but that marginal sacrifice in fuel economy could be a small price to pay for buyers who want a credible alternative to the stalwart Toyota. Unfortunately, like the Fusion Hybrid, the C-Max Hybrid had trouble even approaching its Environmental Protection Agency estimates during our time with the car.
Detroit automakers gain market share simultaneously for first time in 20 years
Wed, 01 May 2013While monthly sales figures might be an easy way of tracking the progression of the auto industry and individual automakers, looking at market share might be more indicative of how each company is actually standing up against its competitors. For the Detroit Three automakers, they have collectively lost almost 30 percent of the market over the last 20 years, but now, for the first time since 1993, Ford, General Motors and Chrysler have each posted market share gains at the same time.
According to Automotive News, Ford's share increased the most by 0.7 percent, GM was up 0.5 percent and Chrysler rose marginally by 0.2 percent, giving the Detroit automakers a total market share of 45.6 percent. As for the Japan's Big Three, the article reports that Toyota is up by 0.7 percent, Nissan is down the same amount and Honda has seen "little change."
