1957 RANCHERO

FIRST YEAR (THE REAL THING!)

THEY ARE DESIGNED TO LOOK LIKE THE 57 T-BIRD!!

THE RANCHERO BODY WAS CHANGED MANY TIMES BUT MOST COLLECTORS WILL TELL YOU THAT THIS IS THE MOST DESIRABLE AND HOLDS IT'S VALUE IN THE COLLECTOR MARKET!

AS HENRY FORD ONCE SAID, "RED IS THE BEST AND ONLY COLOR"!

FUNNY THOUGH...THIS 57' IS EXACTLY 57 YEARS OLD IN 2014!!

THE T-BIRD MOTOR IS STRONG AND THE TRANSMISSION SHIFTS AS IT SHOULD AS WELL.

I WISH IT HAD POWER STEERING BUT THE LARGE STEERING WHEELS OF THE DAY WERE LARGE FOR A GOOD REASON!

IT ALWAYS DRAWS A CROWD. THE PIPES ARE REALLY NICE SOUNDING (TALK LOUD DRAW A CROWD!)

I DON'T USUALLY USE !!! THAT OFTEN...GUESS I'M JUST EXCITED!

THIS RANCHERO CAN TAKE YOU TO WORK...IT CAN DO WORK...AND WEEKEND FUN IS NOT OUT OF THE QUESTION!

IT IS A SOUND INVESTMENT...I CONSTANTLY GET SOLID OFFERS BUT I DECIDED TRY EBAY SINCE MY 50TH WEDDING ANNIVERSARY IS COMING UP IN AUGUST AND I NEED TO BUY MY TOLERANT BUT BEAUTIFUL BRIDE SOMETHING GOLD...KNOW WHERE I CAN FIND A GOLD CADILAC?

OH YA...THE RADIO IS ORIGINAL AND MAKES NOISE BUT IT AIN'T STEREO!?

NICE CUSTOM WHEELS/GOOD TREAD

THE SEATS ARE LEATHER AND THE ELECTRIC CONTROLS WORK

NOT SURE BUT I WAS TOLD THEY CAME FROM A LINCOLN

DOORS AND TAILGATE LATCHES ARE SOLID

FLOORBOARDS ARE SOLID

I AM NOT AWARE OF ANY SIGNIFICANT RUST PROBLEMS

THE TRUCK BED IS SPRAYED WITH BEDLINER (EXCELLENT CONDITION)

ALL WINDOWS ARE VERY GOOD... NO CRACKS... DOOR WINDOWS CRANK UP AND DOWN SMOOTHLY.

SOME PLAY IN THE STEERING WHICH CAN BE TAKEN CARE OF EASILY.

WHILE THIS RANCHERO IS NOT PERFECT...IT IS ALMOST THERE...MY WIFE SAYS I AM NOT PERFECT EITHER BUT I AM ALMOST THERE..!?

PICTURES ARE ALMOST THERE TOO!

Ford Focus EV's slow sales trigger massive incentives

Fri, 25 Jan 2013

The Detroit News reports Ford is having real trouble moving its new Focus Electric. As a result, the automaker is offering substantial incentives in an attempt to lure in more buyers. How substantial? Try $10,750 off of a three-year lease. What's more, the EV can now be had for $37,995 ($2,000 less than its original base price) on top of an additional $2,000 cash discount to buy the EV outright - or you can opt for 1.9-percent financing if you work through Ford Motor Credit. None of which factors in various potential government incentives. Last year, Ford managed to sell a paltry 685 of the 1,627 Focus EV hatchbacks it built.
Ford isn't alone in trying to woo more buyers to its EV effort. Nissan cut the price of its Leaf by a whopping 18 percent for 2013, now down to $28,800 and built in the USA. The move followed the automaker's substantial incentives in 2012.
If you want a Focus Electric, you can now apparently get your hands on one for as little as $285 per month with $930 due at signing for a 36-month lease with 10,500 miles per year.

Shelby GT500 and Roush Stage 3 go head to head at the drag strip

Wed, 07 Aug 2013

The Ford Mustang is a brilliantly affordable source of horsepower, with a base 300-plus-horsepower version available for well under $30,000. Jumping up to about $35,000 will get you a solid 420 horsepower from a high-revving V8, while those with some extra disposable income can get a pair of 600-plus-horsepower monsters. Both the Roush Stage 3 with its Phase 3 package and Ford's factory Shelby GT500 even crest the 650-horsepower mark, with 675 and 662 ponies, respectively.
Naturally, someone needed to find out which of these hi-po Mustangs was the quickest. And while this video is quite obviously a dealership commercial, at least there's some solid drag racing between two of the most powerful performance machines available for under $100,000.
With two NHRA drag racers at the wheel, the Stage 3 and GT500 go head to head for three races. Scroll down below to see the results in the full video.

Ken Block's 1965 Ford Mustang Hoonicorn RTR and CR Supercars Villain are retro done right

Wed, 05 Nov 2014

Gymkhana king Ken Block has had a pretty simple car history in his trademark videos, starting out with Subaru Impreza rally cars before moving into Ford Focus racers for the past four installments. His next video, though, Gymkhana Seven, kind of goes back in time.
Rather than the cutting-edge rally racers of past videos, Block will pilot a heavily modified 1965 Ford Mustang, called the Hoonicorn. How heavily modified is it? Well, Block's Hooligan Racing Division, ASD Motorsports and Vaughn Gittin Jr.'s RTR, spent two years working on it, ditching the standard engine and rear-wheel-drive layout and replacing it with a 410-cubic-inch Roush Yates V8. Yes, that's a NASCAR engine, and it produces 845 horsepower.
A NASCAR-powered Mustang would be news in itself, but it's the other powertrain changes made by Block and Co. that really makes headlines. Power is channeled through a one-off Sadev transmission and all-wheel-drive system, meaning that Block has basically married a NASCAR stock car with a WRC racer. ASD also developed the customized suspension, tubular chassis and roll cage. The wide Mustang body is the work of RTR and Block's own Hoonigan Racing Division, while the 18-inch fifteen52 wheels are shod in Pirelli Trofeo R tires that use a specialized compound exclusive to Block.
