Up for auction is a very nice 79 Ranchero GT. I am selling it to make room for the two El-Camino's I bought. I already own a 78 ranchero squire model so I decided to let one of the two go and this is the nicer of the two so I'll try selling it first. It has a two year old paint job with the factory gt striping. Rally wheels with trim rings and center caps. Tires are good. The interior is very nice with the full instrument dash and factory gt wheel. Door panels are nice as is the carpeting and mats. Headliner is almost new and perfect. Dual remote mirrors are good but don't adjust from the cables inside. I believe that when the car was painted, the person putting the door panels back on didn't get the adjuster cables put back in the right position so they are binding up.. Should be easy enough to pull the door panels and re position the cables so as they operate freely. It has factory power windows but no power locks. Am/fm cassette radio. All the exterior trim and emblems are present and in good shape. It is equipped with a class 3 hidden trailer hitch. Engine is the 351 M block sometimes mistaken as the Cleveland engine because it's also produced at the Cleveland engine plant. Dual exhaust. Three speed auto trans with column shift. The lights, signals, wipers are in good working order. I have owned this vehicle for just over a year and put nearly 500 miles on it since purchase. Mainly classic auto shows here in Florida. It runs very well. As it is a 34 year old vehicle, it naturally has a few issues but none that will keep you from jumping right in and going for a cruise. The a/c compressor broke the first time I took it to a car show. I believe the piston broke inside the compressor as it turns about half way and locks up. I took the belt off for now. The brakes have a slight shudder when braking sharply. The front rotors are out of round and should be turned on a brake lathe or replaced. They are not expensive. The speedo cable broke a couple of months ago so there is a couple of hundred miles more on the car than the odometer is now showing. That is available on e-bay for not too much money. I went to a car show last week and was too lazy to hand wash the car and ran it through a brushless car wash. Well, the radio antennae snapped off almost immediately upon entering the wash. It snapped right at the base where it passes through the fender bezel. The bezel was not damaged nor any damage to the fender or paintwork. I took it up to the annual Mustang and Ford roundup hosted by NPD last January and it rode very nice up the expressway. Vehicle will be sold as-is with no warranty offered or implied. If this one doesn't sell, I may offer the 78 Squire model for sale next.

Ford supports bid for Detroit Rallycross race with Motown-minded Fiesta ST vid
Mon, 01 Jul 2013As Ford continues its cheerleading effort to help bring the 2014 Summer X Games to its hometown of Detroit, MI, it has released footage of its 2014 Fiesta ST Rallycross car on location at some of the city's well-known landmarks. This video appears to have been shot around the same time as the previous X Games Detroit video was made, but it focuses 100-percent on rally car action.
With Ford Racing driver Andreas Eriksson behind the wheel, this Fiesta ST lays down some serious rubber atop Detroit's Cobo Hall parking structure, at Belle Isle and around the Michigan Central Depot. Detroit isn't alone in the bid for a three-year X Games contract as Chicago, Austin and Charlotte are also hoping to play host. The winning host city is expected to be announced this summer. Scroll down for Ford's two-minute video showing the Fiesta ST Rallycrossing through the Motor City.

Rare Ford Mustang ASC McLaren is a piece of '80s history
Wed, Jun 1 2016You can't blame the dealer for advertising this oddball convertible as a "Ford Mustang McLaren." The name certainly rolls off the tongue better than "Ford Mustang ASC McLaren," and it makes the car sound a whole lot more appealing. However, without the 'ASC' in there, you don't get the full picture. And when it comes to the world of strange automotive collaborations—particularly those of the 80s—you most definitely want the full picture. ASC McLaren Mustangs were the result of fortuitous timing, and a project that was already underway between the American Sunroof Company and McLaren (no, not that McLaren). Detroit custom car builder Peter Muscat brought the idea of a Mustang with a tonneau cover to ASC after chopping the top off a Fox body on his own, and in turn ASC founder Heinz Pretcher brought the concept to Ford. Big blue was already in the midst of relaunching a Mustang convertible, which had been absent from the lineup for 10 years, so initially it was the Mercury Capri that got the ASC/McLaren treatment. The result was a car that was more expensive than a Mustang GT, and coupled with declining sales of the Capri overall, the car was discontinued in 1986, paving the way for the ASC McLaren Mustang you see here on eBay. With the change over to the Mustang as their platform for modification in 1987, ASC McLaren were given the opportunity to create something notable. Customizing the Capri was one thing, but the Mustang name carries with it iconic status. So what did ASC McLaren do with their chance to leave their mark on automotive history? They gave the car some visual modifications, both inside and out, but like the Capri, left the powertrain untouched. Also like the Capri, the cars still ended up costing more than $20,000. Between the high price, the economic woes of the late 80s, and disputes between Muscat and Pretcher, the ASC McLaren Mustangs were no more by 1990. During the three year run, 1,806 ASC McLaren conversions were completed, making them quite rare, especially low mileage examples like this one. The 5.0 V8s are known for being stout engines, capable of handling serious modification, and logging lots of miles, so there are no concerns there. The 5-speed Borg-Warner transmission that came in all Mustang GTs is also known for being a durable unit, the '87-'90 versions especially so. The main concern here would be the life the car has lived, and more importantly where it has lived.
