Somerset, California, United States

Up for auction is a clean rust free 1979 Ford Ranchero Brougham, it is a California truck, with new carpet, and custom 70's paint/sunroof.... Check out those wheels! This was the last of the mid size Ford vehicles with a full frame, and the last year for the Ranchero. This one has the full instramentaion, like the GT models. All the gauges work, even the clock ! The tilt column is in good condition, and the cruise works! The cornering lamps and other lights also work. The engine is a stock 351 M, and has the FMX transmission. The rear axle is the HD ford 9 inch unit.

This truck has had the following recently; master cylinder, rebuilt front end including upper control arm ball joints and bushings, new shocks, ( HD overload rears) new tie rods, power sterring box and hoses,new radiator, trans service, and new premium carpet professionally installed. This ranchero is currently California registered, and has recently passed the very tough test. It has a clear title.

The sunroof is a twin type, and has not leaked. It has a carpet bed mat that velcros and snaps in.I have a set of replacement bed trim parts and clips that go with the truck. There was NO rust or corrosion on the floor when I had the carpet replaced.

This Ranchero has 2 dents and a few dings,with several paint chips . It also has faded paint on the Left had Quarter. I am sure it has been repainted,but, is the original RARE color. This is the same as the 1978 Lincoln Mark V / Ford Thunderbird Diamond Jubilee color.....

All in all, a nice example of the last of the Rancheros......Feel free to ask all questions before bidding, sold "AS IS" will help your shipper. East coast shipping to the NY area is about $1200.00 as a ball park. I reserve the right to end this auction at any time as it is advertised locally. Sold with NO RESERVE! Call for questions! 530-620-3665

 

Relisted due to a phony buyer! please,only bid if your serious,this cost me $150.00 for this issue!!!!!!!!!!!

Ford Transit Skyliner Concept does discreet luxury in NYC

Thu, 17 Apr 2014

There's something to be said for luxed-out vans. They're cool, and as a means of getting chauffeured about, they're extremely comfortable and far more low key than your typical executive luxury sedan. For the 2014 New York Auto Show, Galpin Auto Sports has shown the potential of the new-for-the-US Ford Transit as an ultra-luxurious people hauler.
The Transit Skyliner Concept, which we previewed last week, sports four finely crafted captain's buckets that can be moved into different formations based on need. Want to watch a movie? The seats can be swung around to face a 52-inch screen. Riding along with some business associates? A table can be popped up. There's even a configuration for tailgating.
The materials are, unsurprisingly, pretty plush. The leather seats and wood floors (yes, wood floors in a van) look great, while the trunk and its customized luggage are a nice touch, as well.

2013 Ford C-Max Hybrid recalled over lack of roof padding

Mon, 29 Jul 2013

Ford is recalling 33,021 units of its 2013 C-Max Hybrid not equipped with optional panoramic roof panels. During testing, the model in question returned testing results for occupant head injuries that fell outside of criteria laid out in the Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard. The issue puts occupants at greater risk of injury in the event of a crash if they are in an affected car.
The recall will begin August 19, at which time C-Max Hybrid owners can take their cars to dealers to have energy-absorbent material installed between the headliner and roof. The bulletin below from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration has more information.
