1979 Ranchero GT with only 46,000 miles. Last year of the Ranchero which makes it very collectable. 351M engine with a 2 barrel for good gas mileage and a C-6 Transmission. Power brakes, power steering, power seats, Push Button AM/FM with cassette, Tilt Wood GT Steering Wheel. New BF Goodrich 60 series tires mounted on chrome reverse wheels with baby moon hubcaps. New: brakes, front rotors, rear drums, spark plugs, speakers, battery. Air Shocks in rear, receiver hitch. Body is Laser straight with no rust anywhere. There is a small 10" x 5" area on the roof that has some hazing. Paint is like new and could use a polish buffing to get rid of some slight surface rub marks on the hood where a funny friend tried to do a Starsky & Hutch slide across the hood! All original Brougham interior with a crack free dash. Bucket seats with fold down arm rests are nice other than a half dime size separation in the drivers seat, easily repaired. Headliner has 2 small tears where the corner of the visors have dug in. The bed is dent free. All the chrome is good. All gauges work. Car is super reliable and drives nice. AC needs a charge and the belt is off but I have it.
Car is for sell locally and I reserve the right to end the auction early. A $500 dollar deposit is required via PayPal within 48 hours of the close of the auction. The rest of the payment will be agreed upon by the buyer and I.

Ford Focus ST, Fiesta ST buyers to get free Octane Academy driving school
Thu, 01 Aug 2013The Ford Focus ST and Fiesta ST have created plenty of excitement in the sport compact segment, and Ford is looking to make sure that owners are driving and enjoying their cars to the best of their abilities. As an added bonus for buying one of these sporty hatchbacks, Ford will provide a complimentary ST Octane Academy session to be held at the Miller Motorsports Park in Utah.
Attendees will be responsible for travel and lodging, but Ford will provide the driving school free of charge. Included in this two-day trip, ST owners will get class instruction and driving instruction in prepped Focus ST and Fiesta ST models on the track and autocross course. Some karting action will also be involved as will a tour of Ken Block's Hoonigan Racing headquarters located nearby. If this doesn't sound like enough fun, there is also an optional day of activities that includes some more track time in a Mustang GT and off-road instruction in an F-150 SVT Raptor.
Ford told us that those who have already purchased a Focus ST or Fiesta ST will still be able to attend the performance driving school, but the press release, which is posted below, makes it sound like it applies to original owners only. Ford has yet to announce its schedule for the ST Octane Academy or prices for additional activities or guests.
US Air Force Thunderbirds Mustang fetches $400K at auction
Wed, 07 Aug 2013For the last six years, Ford has created a special version of the Mustang with a military aviation theme, and then donated the car to the Experimental Aircraft Association (EAA) to be auctioned off at the annual AirVenture event, also known as The World's Greatest Aviation Celebration. The money raised goes to the EAA Young Eagles program to inspire the "aviation pioneers of tomorrow," and this year's 2014 Ford Mustang GT US Air Force Thunderbirds Edition was won with a final bid of $398,000.
Celebrating 60 years of the USAF's Thunderbirds, this Mustang GT is the only one of its kind with a paint job matching the Thunderbirds' F-16 Falcon jets and some Ford Racing performance added on for good measure. Including this car, Ford has helped raise around $2.3 million for the charity with the biggest auction price coming from the first year of the program, the F-22 Raptor-inspired Mustang AV8R from 2008, which sold for $500,000.
2016 Ford Explorer revealed with new 2.3-liter EcoBoost
Wed, 19 Nov 2014
A 2.3L EcoBoost four-cylinder takes over where the old 2.0 left off, making 270 hp and 300 lb-ft.
Right now, around 23 percent of all Ford vehicles sold in the United States is a utility vehicle. By 2020, Ford expects that figure to increase all the way to 29 percent. Put simply, SUVs and crossovers are very big business at Ford. So, when it comes time to update the Explorer, Ford's original sport utility vehicle, you can be sure that a whole heck of a lot of effort goes into the process.
