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 will build Hackmobile out of Transit Connect Wagon
Fri, 27 Dec 2013What you see in the above image is a rendering of the Hackmobile Transit Connect Wagon. What is that? It's a "mobile fabrication and hacking unit" that includes tools for metal- and woodworking, 3D and electronics fabrication, a three-axis CNC machine called "The Fabber," a video projector and screen, an air compressor, an 84x48-inch work surface that folds out like a Murphy bed and oh so much more. When not in use, all of the implements fold neatly into the back of Ford's award-winning van.
But perhaps the more important question is why is that? Because Make Magazine held an Ultimate Maker Vehicle Challenge in conjunction with Ford in which ten teams created were charged with creating "the ultimate Ford Transit Connect Wagon for the do-it-yourself enthusiast." Team Twin Cities Maker won the competition with the Hackmobile, and in addition to winning $10,000, Ford has declared it's actually going to build the thing - which is great, because if they can actually engineer a road-legal Hackmobile Transit Connect Wagon as envisioned, the inevitable A-Team movie reboot might need to think about including it.
Check out the video below for a cheeky walk-through of the Hackmobile, and get all the particulars in the press release below that.
Ford rolls out Vignale Mondeo for upscale European buyers
Tue, Apr 21 2015North American buyers looking for a luxury automobile from Dearborn know to turn to Lincoln, but overseas, the Ford brand itself appeals to upscale customers with its own products. The Blue Oval automaker unveiled a premium take on the Taurus for the Chinese market at the Shanghai Motor Show this weekend, and in Europe it's rolling out the Vignale sub-brand with the model you see here. Previewed in concept form a year and a half ago at the Frankfurt Motor Show, the Vignale line revives the name of a storied Italian coachbuilder that Ford acquired (together with Ghia) back in 1973. Now ready for production, the first Vignale model upgrades on the Mondeo (which we know as the Fusion) with a number of high-end features. The cabin space is altogether more luxurious, featuring high-end, laser-cut leather trim with hexagonal quilting and "tuxedo" stitching. The multi-contour front seats have a massage function, and occupants are better isolated from the road via upgraded sound insulation and active noise cancellation. The Ford Vignale Mondeo benefits from all the latest safety-convenience and infotainment technologies, including an optional Sony digital audio system with twelve speakers. The exterior is made to look more upscale as well, with unique metallic paint finishes, special chrome trim, 18-inch alloys and the requisite special badging to set it apart from ordinary Mondeos. Buyers will be able to choose between sedan or wagon body styles, front- or all-wheel drive and from a number of engine options. There's a 2.0-liter EcoBoost four with 237 horsepower, a 2.0-liter turbodiesel available with 177 or 207 hp, and a gasoline-electric hybrid system with 184 hp. Each vehicle is hand-finished and individually inspected at the Vignale Centre at Ford's plant in Valencia, Spain, and will be offered through select dealerships outfitted with premium Vignale Lounges. Customers will also benefit from access to a dedicated "relationship manager," customer assistance operators on call 24 hours a day and a companion app, but of course none of these features come cheap: At around GBP30k in the UK, the price of a Vignale Mondeo comes close to that of an Audi A6 or Jaguar XF, and it'll be up to individual buyers to decide whether the spruced-up Fusion is worth the premium. Look for a Vignale version of the S-Max to follow.
Ford Transit Skyliner Concept is a Gulfstream for the road
Sat, 12 Apr 2014If you are afraid to fly or just want to arrive at your ultimate destination in absolute comfort, then the Ford Transit Skyliner concept might be the perfect vehicle for you. Built by Galpin Auto Sports and based on a 2015 Transit, the van is basically a private jet on wheels. It even has a touch of Transformers about it with the ability to switch between four modes by pressing a button in a smartphone app.
Based on the long wheelbase, high-roof model with 487 cubic feet of cargo space and 6 feet, 9.5 inches of interior height, the Skyliner has movable captains chairs that shift around among four modes. In theater mode, the seats turn and recline to face a 52-inch retractable movie screen with 7.2 surround sound. For business, a motorized table unfolds, and the chairs gather around it. There is a mode for tailgating where the door opens four-feet wide, and, when traveling, passengers can recline back with footrests that extend for maximum comfort.
To make the ride even plusher, there is a satellite and media server to meet your entertainment needs, and there is even a built-in bar in the back. If this Ford had a bathroom, you could live in it. Of course, you would need to hire a driver to enjoy all the amenities in the back.
