1979 Ford Ranchero Gt on 2040-cars

Year:1979 Mileage:95000
Location:

Leander, Texas, United States

Leander, Texas, United States

1979 Ford Ranchero GT
351 Windsor, 4 barrel, C4 Automatic, Power brakes, 134 AC, Power windows, Power Steering.
This was repainted about 4 years ago, along with new carpet and seat covers. The chrome is very nice, showing just a little age.  There is a small (about 2") tear in the headliner.
 
This is in excellent condition and just needs a  little engine compartment detailing to be ready for car shows.
Everything works as it should except the clock. The tires are almost new, probably less than 1000 miles on them.
You don't find many Rancheros that are not all worn out or rusted away and the GT model is one of the rarest.
 
 I have owned this for more than 25 years.  It was one of my daily drivers until I retired 11 years ago. I fixed it all up but seldom use it and would rather see someone else put it to use. My cars have always been stored inside and are never left outside.
Here are a few extra pictures:

This Ranchero does NOT have power seats as listed in the Power Options details. 

I meant to indicate that it has Power Brakes.

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.

TRANSLOGIC 147: CES 2014 Autonomous Vehicles

Wed, Jan 15 2014

We head back to CES in Las Vegas to check on the progress of autonomous vehicles in 2014. We go hands-free on the highway with Audi, narrowly avoid a collision with Ford and hear all about BMW's drifting driverless car. But first we take a ride on Induct's self-driving Navia shuttle.

Ford acquires Livio to bolster connectivity biz

Thu, 26 Sep 2013

Ford Motor Company has announced the acquisition of Livio, a Ferndale, MI-based software development company best known for aftermarket in-car connectivity devices, but also as a supplier of technology for proprietary systems for automakers. Livio, co-founded by Sigal and Massimo Baldini, will be a wholly owned subsidiary of Ford Global Technologies.
"With the additional expertise Livio provides us, Ford intends to continue to lead the next generation of in-car connectivity with technology advancements that give consumers more options to access their devices on the go," said Paul Mascarenas, chief technical officer and vice president, Ford Research and Innovation, in a statement.
Ford is clearly trying to beef up its in-house tech capability around telematics and device connectivity. While the Blue Oval has been a leader in these areas with SYNC and MyFord Touch in terms of getting the systems into as many cars as possible, the execution of the applications have been criticized for glitches.
