Offered For Sale is this Nice 1979 Ford Ranchero GT with 98k Original Miles on the 351 V-8 Power Plant. This belonged to an 80 Year Old Retired Mechanic Who Passed Away Late Last Year, And I Bought It From His Estate. Clear Title, Not Salvage. It has Great Body And Paint except for a couple spots on the passenger side that have very small areas of primer. Inside has an Interior That was redone at a cost of $900.00 and New Mufflers and Pipes with Chrome Tips that were $600.00 ($1,500.00 ) The Bed looks like new, no dents, no rust, nice and clean paint overall. Just went for a 40+ Mile Ride yesterday and it purred down the Highway. Heat Works, Horn and Lights, No Radio, Didn't Try The Cruise Or A/C. You can tell this Ranchero was babied and cared for. I wanted to keep it and add it to my collection, but it has been pointed out to me that we have 5 cars here, and in my enthusiasm for this nice ride I didn't take that into consideration. So reluctantly and so I can keep my 1962 T-Bird, and since I had to choose, this one will have to go. I also have a 1972 Ranchero so you see something has to go. Take a look at the pictures, I have a reasonable Reserve so I am hoping it will go to someone who would appreciate it. I can also get it to the nearest shipping facility in the Seattle area for you if you choose to have it shipped. I will work with you. I will hold the vehicle as well for a couple weeks if you need time. After that if you have not contacted me and picked the car up then you will forfeit the deposit of $200.00 which is due no more than 48 hours at auction end. I am selling the vehicle As-Is No Warranty Expressed Or Implied, and have done my best to describe and photograph it as accurately as possible. Please ask questions and make sure this is the vehicle you want. No Refunds, All Sales Are Final!! It is 34 years old and not a brand new car. If you choose to drive it from the West Coast to the East Coast or through Pike's Peak it's a great running car and I am pretty sure it can drive anywhere, but I won't make any Guarantees like that. I am just being realistic. Thank You and Happy Bidding!! If Paying Via Bank Draft, Please Note Nothing Will Be Released Until Funds are Verified and Cleared, Not Before Then!!!

Ford taps Canada-based Multimatic to build carbon fiber Ford GT
Mon, Feb 16 2015Ford has given Canadian firm Multimatic the nod to build the carbon fiber body on the new GT – The Blue Oval says it has worked with this company for 30 years. The global supplier provides parts and engineering to various automakers, and while based in Markham, Ontario it has 12 plants in Canada, the US, Mexico, England, and China. When announcing the decision at the Canadian International Auto Show, Ford says it chose them "because they have specialized equipment for carbon fiber production and expertise in carbon fiber assembly," and we've heard that the 600-horsepower coupe will be produced in a purpose-built facility at Ford's factory in Markham. Even better than that – for GT purposes and for possible hints at a Le Mans run – the Multimatic Motorsports division can be contracted for engineering and race team management. They currently produce the Boss 302R racecar in the Continental Tire SportsCar Challenge, worked on the FR500C, and their Multimatic Motorsports Lola B2K/40 won its class at the 24 Hours of Le Mans in 2000. The first models will roll off the line at the end of next year. Production numbers are rumored to be in the low hundreds, with a six-figure price tag around $200,000. They'll go into production in time for some sort of 50th anniversary celebration of the GT40 taking the the top three spots at Le Mans in 1966.

Ford bumped by Amazon in best-perceived brand list
Mon, 20 Jan 2014Back in July, a mid-year study from YouGov found Ford to have higher brand perception than any other company in the US. While Ford failed to top the year-end study, it still has plenty to brag about. The final BrandIndex report shows that online retail giant Amazon edged out Ford for the top ranking, while Subway, the History Channel and Lowe's rounded out the top five spots.
For Ford, it's still an improvement from sixth place in the 2012 study, and, more importantly, it dominated other automakers in terms of brand perception with a clear advantage over Toyota, Honda, Chevy and Volkswagen. To determine how well - or not so well - a brand is perceived, YouGov uses a Buzz score that asks respondents whether they've "heard anything about the brand in the last two weeks, through advertising, news or word of mouth" and whether it was positive or negative. While it isn't clear how many respondents were included, YouGov does point out that Ford had a strong presence in social media, advertising and newsworthy toward the end of the year.

Trucks, SUVs drive U.S. October new vehicle sales
Wed, Nov 1 2017DETROIT — Major automakers posted mixed U.S. new vehicle sales in October on Wednesday, though America's love affair with high-margin pickup trucks and SUVs remained in full bloom as larger, pricier vehicles fared better than passenger cars. Auto industry publication WardsAuto put the seasonally-adjusted annualized rate (SAAR) for light vehicle sales in October at a robust level of 18 million units. But after a long boom cycle, carmakers are still ill-prepared for the slight decline in sales anticipated for full-year 2017 and have taken too few steps to trim production, said Doug Mehl, a partner in consultancy A.T. Kearney's automotive practice. "When you make a new vehicle, you have volume assumptions tagged to it, and who wants to be the guy who says, 'I'm going to make less of this really cool model'?" Mehl said. "But eventually the market is the reality, and it's going to force companies one way or other here." General Motors GM reported a sales drop of 2.2 percent for the month, with consumer sales down 6.6 percent. But sales of high-margin pickup trucks, sport utility vehicles and crossovers all rose. GM also cut its inventory of unsold vehicles — a source of concern for the market — slightly. The automaker has worked to reduce its volume of excess inventory, including through significant production shutdowns in the third quarter. GM had said its inventory would rise in October. "We are heading into the fourth quarter with good momentum, thanks to a strong U.S. economy and very strong pickup and crossover sales," said Kurt McNeil, GM vice president for U.S. sales operations. GM slightly reduced consumer discounts as a percentage of average transaction prices to 13.5 percent, from 13.7 percent in the third quarter. Industry experts believe consumer discounts above 10 percent of the average transaction price are unhealthy as they erode resale values and are unsustainable in the long term. Consultants J.D. Power and LMC said last week that based on preliminary October sales numbers, discounts have exceeded 10 percent in 15 of the past 16 months. Ford The U.S. auto industry posted record sales of 17.55 million vehicles in 2016. New sales received a strong boost in September as consumers replaced vehicles damaged in southeast Texas by Hurricane Harvey the previous month. Full-year 2017 sales are expected to be slightly lower than 2016.
