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.

Who sold the most heavy-duty pickups in 2012? PickupTrucks.com investigates
Tue, 26 Feb 2013Domestic manufacturers enjoyed a good year for heavy-duty pickup sales in 2012. PickupTrucks.com has taken a close look at exactly how those sales broke down between each manufacturer and between three-quarter and one-ton pickups. Ford sold some 67,786 F-250 Super Duty models last year with the Chevrolet Silverado 2500 HD falling just behind at 56,359 units. The Ram 2500 HD came in third at 41,918, while the GMC Sierra 2500 HD earned itself fourth place with 27,616 deliveries. While Ford held onto the top spot in the one-ton market, Ram easily nailed down second place by selling more 3500 HD models last year than General Motors sold Silverado 3500 HD and Sierra 3500 HD trucks combined.
So, did GM manage to sell more trucks than Ford with its two brands? Very nearly. Ford sold a total of 119,338 heavy-duty pickups to GM's 111,555. Ram, meanwhile, moved a distant 77,583. But perhaps more interesting is the diesel take rate in this segment. PickupTrucks.com says 80 percent of all domestic one-ton trucks roll from the dealer lot with a turbo-diesel under the hood. Head over to the site for a closer look at the breakdown.
2015 Ford Mustang [w/videos]
Thu, 05 Dec 2013
It'd be unwise to bet against the sixth generation of this legendary nameplate.
The 2015 Ford Mustang is assuredly the most anticipated new vehicle of the year. The redesigned Pony Car has been the subject of frantic gossiping and covert spy photos covering everything from the way it looks to the tech it will include, its performance, mechanicals and a bevy of other aspects of Ford's performance icon.
2015 Ford Mustang EcoBoost loses big power on 87 octane
Mon, Jan 5 2015The 2015 Ford Mustang with the 2.3-liter EcoBoost four-cylinder is a pretty potent package on paper. With 310 horsepower and 320 pound-feet of torque, it boasts better performance numbers than the 3.7-liter V6, but with better fuel economy as an added benefit. However, if you're in the market for one of these boosted 'Stangs, you should probably keep in mind that it really prefers to gulp premium, 93-octane fuel. It can drink 87-octane swill in a pinch, but you're going to find significantly less power underfoot when pulling away. While it's not shocking that the ponies are dialed back with a lower grade of gasoline, an alleged page from a Ford training manual obtained by Mustang 6G purports to show just how much power is lost, though. According to this document, the 2.3-liter EcoBoost makes 275 horsepower and 300 pound-feet of torque when running on lower octane fuel. That's a substantial reduction of about 11.3 percent compared to when the engine drinks 93 octane. Interestingly, according to Mustang 6G, that finding was a bit better than expected, because a Ford engineer reportedly said power would be down about 13 percent without altering peak torque. In speaking with Autoblog, Paul Seredynski of Ford powertrain communications, objected to part of this document. While he couldn't confirm the specific losses listed for the Mustang EcoBoost, "torque remains unchanged" with lower octane gasoline, Seredynski said. He speculated this training manual page was "possibly from before the engine was certified" and therefore showed incorrect figures. Serendynski did confirm that the automaker recommends using 93 octane, and like all modern engines, the software adapts if it's lower. "Peak power would be reduced" by using a lesser grade, he confirmed.
