1977 Ford Ranchero GT, Automatic, Air Conditioning, 351 "Windsor" V8. This car is fast and will lay out some rubber. It isn't terribly loud but has a nice rumble with it's dual exhaust.

I bought this car from a teenager that had removed all the smog components and air conditioning and put on aftermarket parts but, then couldn't get it registered or smogged again. I bought it just for fun while my regular daily driver was having major repairs. I ended up doing some major repairs to this.

It does need some work to make it the $10-$15,000 car it could be. The headliner is split and needs repaired/replaced, I replaced the air conditioning components but, it had a leak, put sealer in haven't put new refrigerant in it again yet, the threading on the seats has broken and separated, it has been painted from its original powder blue and the paint is peeling in places mostly around the hood area however, I have done a bunch of work to it and it is running great and passed smog 4/24/2013.

New radiator, water pump, thermostat, front disc brakes, rotors and master cylinder, rear brakes have lots of tread and the tires have pretty good tread all the way around. It has a full size spare tire behind the passenger seat. I replaced the air conditioning components, smog pump and components. It has had a recent oil change and tune up with platinum plugs and synthetic oil. It is running great.

I think El Caminos might be a little more popular but, there seems to be more of them too. Check it out, fair priced, decent Rancheros are scarce.

Less than 100,000 original miles! About 96,000 right now! Clear title, registered to February 2014. Drive it away at the end of this auction!

Buy it today, use it for your Christmas shopping.

White House clears way for NHTSA to mandate vehicle black boxes

Fri, 07 Dec 2012

At present, over 90 percent of all new vehicles sold in the United States today are equipped with event data recorders, more commonly known as black boxes. If the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration gets its way, that already high figure will swell to a full 100 percent in short order.
Such automotive black boxes have been in existence since the 1990s, and all current Ford, General Motors, Mazda and Toyota vehicles are so equipped. NHTSA has been attempting to make these data recorders mandatory for automakers, and according to The Detroit News, the White House Office of Management Budget has just finished reviewing the proposal, clearing the way. Now NHTSA is expected to draft new legislation to make the boxes a requirement.
One problem with current black boxes is that there's no set of standards for automakers to follow when creating what bits of data are recorded, and for how long or in what format it is stored. In other words, one automaker's box is probably not compatible with its competitors.

Ken Block proves the new Ford Focus RS can handle that Gymkhana thing

Wed, Feb 4 2015

Oh Ford, you've already done a lot for us today, introducing the bound-for-America Focus RS and all. But then you go ahead and add onto this day of good news by handing a prototype of the new all-wheel-drive rocket to drift maestro Ken Block and capture it all on video. Block does his usual, slipping and sliding and drifting the over-315-horsepower hot hatchback through Ford's Cologne, Germany factory, before making a final and surprising appearance at the unveiling of the new RS to European media. It's all as entertaining as it sounds, and gives us plenty of chances to hear the 2.3-liter EcoBoost at full bellow. Related Video:
