78 Ranchero Gt 62k Actual Miles on 2040-cars
Sturtevant, Wisconsin, United States
|
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 E-Series chassis cabs and cutaways to survive mass Transit onslaught
Fri, 18 Apr 2014In March 2013, Ford announced we'd be getting chassis cab and cutaway versions of the Transit. Since incoming Transit vans will soon be rolling over the grave of the E-Series van, it was assumed that all E-Series models would go six feet under as well. According to a report from PickupTrucks.com, however, that's not the case, the report claiming that the highly modifiable E-350 and E-450 chassis cab and cutaway versions will continue being produced in Avon Lake, Ohio "at least until 2020."
Being decades old, the be-cabbed E-Series platform has found its way under an army of heavy-duty shuttle buses, work truck and ambulances. Ford spokeswoman Jessica Enoch verified the production horizon, telling Autoblog that the particular E-Series configuration "are a higher GVWR than the Transit chassis cab and cutaway (available this summer), which is more Class 2 and a new segment for us." So there you have it.
Automakers donating money, vehicles and supplies to Oklahoma tornado relief effort
Fri, 24 May 2013Judging by the destruction the Oklahoma City area experienced earlier this week, residents are going to need a lot of help in coming months. Fortunately, a number of automakers - including General Motors, Ford, Chrysler, Volkswagen, Honda and Toyota - have stepped up to donate money, supplies and vehicles to aid in the recovery and rebuilding processes.
Here's a quick rundown of which automakers have pitched in and what each contributed so far:
Ford Motor Company has donating $250,000 and a Transit Connect to the American Red Cross, and it will match all other donations made to the Red Cross (up to $250,000) using a special URL tied to the latter's website (link here). Additionally, its local Oklahoma dealers have thrown in an extra $150,000 for the United Way and the automaker will be offering an extra $500 toward the purchase of a new Ford vehicle.
This is what a 3D-printed liquid metal Ford Torino looks like
Sat, 12 Oct 2013Artist Ioan Florea has encapsulated a 1971 Ford Torino with 3-D-printed liquid metal transferred onto the car using technology that he developed, and the result is a stunningly shiny, seamless design.
"The surface has the highest coefficient of reflectivity never achieved before," Florea told us in an e-mail, using "nano-materials and nano-pigments that create an internal three-dimensional structure and dictate the polymer how to behave." Sure... We'll leave it to him to make any more 3-D-printed liquid metal-transferred art pieces.
Florea grew up in Romania, and the motivation behind picking the old Ford as his canvas came from his childhood memories of what an American car is - "big and wide and fascinating," he says - and the European name of the car itself, which it shares with an Italian city.
