1978 Ford Ranchero pickup, stored in an Airplane hanger from 1986 to 2006. Driven only a few times a summer by second owner from 2006 thru 2012. This neat little truck has only 62,000 original miles and has no rust. The cargo area is not only not rusted but hardly even has a scratch. The interior is perfect, the seat, carpet, door panels, dash pad, headliner, visors, weatherstripping, - all of it is perfect, it even comes with the original FORD black rubber floor mats that still look like new. It has a bench seat with individual seat backs and a fold down center arm rest. It has the rally style dash with the engine turned panel with full factory gauges and tachometer and also a tilt steering wheel, factory cruise control and dual remote control ralley mirrors. It has the 14x7 factory Ford wheels with 4 NEW 225/70/14 Cooper Cobra performance style tires. It has the 351 W motor that is unmolested except for the addition of a Holley "Econopower" 2 barrel carb that was installed years ago. The transmission is a FMX 3 speed automatic and it has a 9 inch open rear axle with a 2.50 gear (according to the vin tag). The car starts instantly with one pump of the gas pedal even in the recent cold weather we have had. It has a single exhaust with a stock appearing muffler but is has a nice sound. It runs, drives, shifts, stops and handless great with front and rear anti sway bars,- it is a pleasure to drive. It would make a really nice driver the way it sits and with a paint job it would be very near show quality. The bumpers are perfectly straight and shiney but the top sides of them are starting to speckel. The grill and all the trim is very nice. The car is in my shop at the present time and I can put it in the air for inspection. Once the car is sold it will have to sit outside (and it ain't that nice around here right now) so prompt pick up would be recommended. I bought this car with the hopes of my Grandson and I making it into a real gem but changes in my life and my Grandsons priorities (he is 16) have changed so I must sell it. Old car prices are really high lately but I feel that you would be hard pressed to find any cool car better than this one for the price I am asking. Since it needs no interior, weatherstripping or rust repair it would be an easy restoration basically only needing a paint job. The stripe kits are available for like $180.00 on E-Bay and elsewhere. The car is located in Sturtevant, Wisconsin roughly between Milwaukee and Chicago - three miles east of I-94. I am retired and can be here to show it or answer questions almost any time. Please call Tom at 262-497-3309 between 6:00 am and 8:00 pm (cst) with any questions, I am only requiring a $125.00 non refundable deposit to cover the selling fee I will have had to pay E-Bay. If you get here and you don't like the car all you will be out is the hundred and twenty five bucks, I won't leave any kind of bad feedback if you decide it isn't what I represented. Shipping is the responsibility of the buyer and payment in full is required within ten days and pickup within 14 days unless other arrangments are made. Most forms of payment other than cash may need to clear before delivery. I do have a trailer and would consider delivery or meeting in the middle for gas and McDonalds money within like a 300 mile radius of Milwaukee. Thank you for looking at my post, I hope you can get this vehicle and enjoy it. The car is listed for sale in other places so I reserve the right to end this auction early if it gets sold somewhere else. The car will be sold complete and as is and as shown with no waranties of any kind either expressed or implied.

Ford C-Max spied with fresh updates
Fri, 05 Sep 2014The Ford C-Max hatchback looks to be getting a few cosmetic updates, as evidenced in this latest set of spy photos. Like the smaller Focus, which also received a nip/tuck for the 2015 model year, the C-Max appears to be getting a revised front fascia with slimmer headlamps and a more, shall we say, Aston Martin-like grille. Around back, there looks to be a new bumper with redesigned taillamps, as well.
In other markets, the C-Max people-mover is available with a range of powertrains, but here in the US, it exists either as a traditional gas-electric or plug-in hybrid. The C-Max's fuel economy has been a particular topic of interest lately, with its official fuel economy ratings having been lowered twice since the vehicle's launch. Sales initially suffered a bit following this fiasco, though numbers have since leveled out. It's unclear if Ford is working on any powertrain tweaks for the updated C-Max seen here, however.
Ford has likely spruced up the hatch's interior, as well, though we don't have photos of that at this time. Mum's the word on when we'll see the new C-Max, but our best guess is that it'll arrive sometime in the next year.
Ford Police Interceptors win acceleration war against Dodge, Chevy
Thu, 17 Oct 2013Just last month, Ford announced its first-ever non-pursuit-rated version of the Police Interceptor sedan for agencies looking to maximize fuel economy, but that doesn't mean that Ford is giving up on chasing down the bad guys. While the Dodge Charger can lay claim to the fastest lap time at the Grattan Raceway test facility held by the Michigan State Police, the results are now in for the Police Vehicle Evaluation acceleration tests. And Ford's Police Interceptor duo (sedan and utility) came out on top.
In the acceleration tests, Ford says that the Taurus-based PI Sedan with the newly available 3.5-liter EcoBoost V6 was the quickest among prospective police cars in both 0-60 and 0-100 mile per hour times. The sedan posted a 0-60 time of 5.66 seconds with all-wheel drive and 5.71 seconds with front-wheel drive, besting V8-powered competitors like the Chevy Caprice and Dodge Charger by more than 0.3 seconds. These rivals close the gap on the AWD sedan in the 0-100 test with the Ford taking 13.5 seconds compared to the Chevy's time of 14.35 and the Dodge's time of 14.7.
As for utility vehicles, the Explorer-based PI Utility, which accounts for 60 percent of Ford's police vehicle sales, essentially went head-to-head with the V8-powered Chevy Tahoe with similar results. Equipped with the new EcoBoost engine option, this big SUV hit 60 mph in just 6.28 seconds and 100 mph in 15.51 seconds compared to times of 8.22 seconds and 21.95 seconds, respectively, for the Tahoe. Other important tests in the PVE include braking and top speed, but while no automakers have stepped up to boast about their numbers in either of these categories, Ford's images show that the V8 Caprice had the highest top speed of the cars at 155 mph while the Tahoe's 139-mph speed made it the fastest utility vehicle.
GM's Reuss predicts 2016 Chevy Camaro will outperform Ford Mustang in every way
Tue, Apr 7 2015We aren't going to be seeing the next-generation Chevrolet Camaro until next month. But even though we know when we're going to see the new muscle car, it's totally unclear whether Chevy will dole out technical details. That means we can't answer the latest version of the age-old question: Camaro or Ford Mustang? Not surprisingly, General Motors North America President Mark Reuss has already stated his position, saying he was "very confident" that the sixth-generation Camaro will be faster, more agile and more efficient than the Ford. Reuss made his comments after saying he drove the new Camaro back-to-back with the Mustang the week prior. Reuss' statement came in a conversation with Fox News about the 2016 Camaro where he elaborated on the car's weight shedding and how it fit into GM's strategy on other new models. "There are some really cool things in the Camaro, that are quite different than the Malibu, [and] CT6," Reuss told Fox. As we reported previously, the Camaro will shed some 200 pounds by switching to aluminum and other lightweight composites for some of its components. With May 16 just over a month away, here's hoping Reuss decides to loose some other details on the next Camaro ahead of its debut. Related Video:
