Attention Global Vintage Ford Collectors! Contact Clint for more info at 610-763-8277 For your consideration is this extremely rare 1972 Ford Ranchero GT. This car has quite a story. This is a ONE OWNER “Barn Find” out of North Carolina that still retains its original sheet metal, floors, engine, transmission, and rear!! Special ordered with a Mustang Mach 1 Drive train V8 351 Cleveland 4bbl with a Hurst 4 speed on the floor manual transmission, and a Ford 9” Posi Rear!! This is an unrestored survivor with original paperwork including original manual, Protect-o-plate, warranty identification card, Ford Clear envelope, and other dealer flyers and disclaimers. Even have the original auto insurance policy from American Family Insurance, Sheldon DeWitt, Agent, Longmont Colorado. Special ordered and purchased new from Stan Bennett Ford in Longmont, Colorado on July 27, 1972. Shortly after the purchase, the owner relocated to North Carolina where the car remained until just a few months ago. Since I have acquired the car, I have gone through to make roadworthy. New Edelbrock 650 Carburetor, Brake service, new Battery. I have been driving it locally, and it’s an absolute blast to drive. It is such a solid car that would be perfect and relatively easy to restore back to its former glory. Or, just drive it the way it is! The body is extremely solid. No shoddy patchwork, Bondo or body filler. All original sheet metal. If you wanted to paint the vehicle, it’s literally a sand and shoot. The paint has some chips and battle scars from over the years, but still shows well for a barn find driver!! It's not a show car by any means, but original patina is hard to find with something of this age. Please note there is some bubbling occurring under the vinyl top. As you can see from the pictures, the undercarriage is very solid as well. All original floors. No holes, soft spots, or major rust. The light factory undercoat definitely preserved this vehicle. Mechanically, the engine fires right up every single time. It has a nice purr like a 351 Cleveland should. Free from ticks or tapping. Does not smoke at idle or under acceleration. The transmission shifts as it should through all 4 gears. No grinding or chattering from the gears or clutch. The ride and handling is quite surprising! It’s very tight and drives straight down the road. No shimmy's, shakes, rattles, vibrations, or drifting. Factory power steering and power disc brakes add to the drivability factor with this Ford. All of the lights, turn signals, dash lights, and gauges are in working order, and appear to be accurate! Factory Tachometer, Speedometer, temp, volt, pressure gauges function. Even the seat belt indicator still buzzes! Radio and speakers work as well. Whether you are a rare Ford car collector or aficionado, collect original patina vehicles, are looking for a muscle car to finish off and restore to your taste, or just looking for a driver to take to car shows and win trophies for its rarity and originality, then take a serious look at this Ranchero!

I urge everyone to take a look at my feedback. Bid with confidence! It was 100% until a few weeks ago, when a malicious ebayer left me negative feedback over a $45.00 die cast model car! Apparently, a windshield wiper was damaged in shipping overseas. I attempted to rectify the situation, but the buyer would not respond or contact me at all, and left me negative feedback!

Weekly Recap: Ferrari, Ford and Porsche power up for Geneva
Sat, Feb 7 2015Monday was Groundhog Day. Tuesday, apparently, was Sports Car Day. The Ferrari 488 GTB, the Ford Focus RS and the Porsche Cayman GT4 all debuted within hours of each other ahead of their rollouts at the Geneva Motor Show. Three sporty machines, three vastly different approaches – and a lot of implications for enthusiasts. That's a day worth repeating. It also illustrates the opportunities automakers see in the performance market, which is expected to grow in the coming years. Ford estimates the segment has expanded 14 percent in Europe and surged 70 percent in North America since 2009. The Detroit Auto Show was evidence of this, and performance cars of every stripe debuted, including the Acura NSX, Ford GT, Alfa Romeo 4C Spider and several others. This isn't a fad. Performance cars aren't going away. The question is why? Stricter CAFE standards are looming in the United States, as are tighter emissions regulations in Europe. And no one expects gas prices to remain low in America. None of this matters for sports cars, and automakers are increasingly using them to elevate their images. That's why Dodge rolled out two 707-horsepower Hellcats last year. It's why Ford has decided to resurrect the GT for road and track. It's why in the depths of bankruptcy, General Motors continued work on the Chevrolet Corvette Stingray, not to mention the Z06. "Great brands are made one car at a time," Ford of Europe president Jim Farley said at the reveal of the Focus RS. Still, companies make those cars for different reasons. View 5 Photos Mainstream brands like Ford and Dodge want to build cars that get people talking, excite their bases and drive more potential customers into the showroom. They probably don't buy a Focus RS or a Hellcat, but suddenly the regular Focus hatch looks a bit hotter, and that V6 Charger seems to be just a touch more muscular. The halo of performance is alive and well in the eyes of automakers and their customers. "It's one of the most effective catalysts for ingenuity and innovation," said Joe Bakaj, vice president of product development for Ford of Europe. That also leads to a trickle-down effect. Some of the technologies inevitably make their way to other products. It's hard to think the new all-wheel-drive system in the Focus RS that distributes torque front to rear and side to side won't be used in other vehicles. It's different for Ferrari and Porsche.
2018 Ford Expedition vs other big SUVs: How it compares on paper
Fri, Nov 10 2017With our Alex Kierstein rightly impressed in his first-drive review of the new 2018 Ford Expedition, we decided to dig a little deeper into the numbers, and we came up with the spreadsheet below to highlight how the new 2018 Expedition compares on paper to its main full-size SUV competitors: the 2018 Chevy Tahoe and Suburban (and therefore the 2018 GMC Yukon), 2018 Toyota Sequoia and 2018 Nissan Armada. We also threw in the new, even bigger 2018 Chevrolet Traverse since, as you'll see, its massive dimensions should put it on the radar for anyone who needs loads of passenger and cargo space but doesn't care as much about towing. A few notes about the chart above. First, the 6.2-liter V8 that's included with the new-for-2018 Tahoe RST trim level is the standard engine on the GMC Yukon Denali. You can apply most of the Tahoe's numbers to the entire Yukon and Yukon XL lineup. Second, though we highlighted categories where the Traverse led, we also highlighted the runner-up full-size SUV, since this was ultimately about that segment. Traverse numbers are broadly applicable to the new Buick Enclave.

Ford reports $3B profit in Q4, $6.9B for the year
Tue, 28 Jan 2014Good news out of Dearborn today, as Ford announced $3 billion in profit for the last quarter of 2013, a 90-percent increase over the same period of 2012. Net income for all of last year, meanwhile, jumped to $7.2 billion from $5.7 billion in 2012, while pre-tax profits sat at a decade-topping $6.9 billion for all of 2013.
The results of the substantial profit increases are bigger profit-sharing checks for UAW employees. How big? A record $8,800 on average for 47,000 UAW workers, making 2013 the biggest year for profit sharing in Ford history. In total, $414 million will be paid as part of the profit-sharing scheme.
Now, it should be pointed out that a fair portion of Ford's Q4 profits were due to tax benefits, totaling $2.1 billion, according to Automotive News. Total profits would have also been higher, had there not been a significant recall on the Escape, as well as plant issues in South America.
