Up for bid is an all original 1958 Ford Ranchero. With less than 750 miles on the original motor that was rebuilt in late 2006. Nothing is modified from original. No rust or corrosion on anything. All the brakes, steering, wiring and chassis components were restored in 2007. Along with a gorgeous interior restoration in 2008. This rig has the 213cc 6 cylinder with a 3 speed manual transmission. Originally bought new by Montana State University. And sold to us in 1969. It sat inside until 2006 when we started restoring it. Nothing is really needed for the car. However, it does need a home that appreciates these ole classics. It runs and drives great. With recent tires and battery. This rig has been driven just enough to keep it maintained over the years. We take it to a couple local car shows every year. And, to the store once in a while. The odometer showed 29,712 miles when we returned from town with it today. We expect the chassis miles may be closer to 129K. We only expect to use it for test drives until sold.

Always garaged and never wrecked or abused. The body is very straight with all original panels. No fiberglass or aftermarket replacement parts on this rig.

Please feel free to ask any questions before placing a bid. International bidders are welcomed and held to the same guidelines and time frames as all bidders. For detailed questions I can be contacted directly from 9AM to 10 PM PST.. Bill Rhodes (406) 595-5309

to 60 days free of charge. Longer can be arranged if necessary. We can also take it to the major truck stop located on Interstate 90 only 3 miles from us in Belgrade, MT. 59714. Since shipping
can involve many specifics. We always ask interested parties to contact and
locate their own shipper. I can refer you to a few reputable shipping companies
located in the U.S. that customers and I have used over the years. We also have an international agent for
overseas shiping estimates. Feel free to inquire. Here’s a chance to own a piece of history and witness a great example of American ingenuity that was entertained through the 1950’s well into the early 60’s. Many satisfied customers. Thanks for looking and GOOD LUCK! |

Need for Speed movie casts Mustang in hero car role
Mon, 10 Jun 2013Dreamworks Studios, Electronic Arts and Ford Motor Company announced today that the Ford Mustang will play the lead hero car role in the upcoming Need for Speed movie, slated to hit theaters next February. Of course, the Mustang didn't audition for the role like we imagine the film's star, Aaron Paul of Breaking Bad fame, might have. Rather, Ford and Dreamworks struck a partnership deal that meant the Mustang could skip the casting couch. The deal will also see the film's universe populated with other Ford products (gratuitously so, we're guessing), and the automaker will also help the studio promote the video-game-turned-movie next year.
The hero car in question is a special one-off Mustang created by Ford that is making its debut at the E3 video game trade show as we speak. Powered by a supercharged V8 and apparently based on the Shelby GT500, the car's been modified with a widebody kit, 22-inch wheels, larger air intakes and twin hood nostrils. Ford also provided the film's production with an F-450 truck that will be called "The Beast" in the film's story, and a second Mustang to be used during filming as a camera car.
The Mustang's movie career is really taking off, with news of its Need For Speed casting closely following last week's release of the trailer for Getaway, a movie coming out in August that stars Ethan Hawke, Selena Gomez and another Shelby GT500. In addition to Aaron Paul and a modified Mustang, the Need For Speed movie also stars Michael Keaton (cop, we're guessing) and Dominic Cooper (villain, we're guessing), and is directed by Scott Waugh, who directed the Navy SEAL film Act of Valor in 2012.
Watch this lead sled go rallying in Finland
Thu, 19 Jun 2014Custom cars generally fit into neat little boxes in terms of how they are used. For example, you're unlikely to see a modded Corvette going rock crawling; it's just not what it's made for (though we bet it'd look awesome, for a minute). In the same way, chopped, channeled and customized '50s hot rods aren't really meant to go racing. They look great and go fast, but they are generally more cruisers than sports cars.
However, if this video is any indication, the people of Finland don't adhere in these stereotypes, because this rodder is happy to play in the dirt with his lead sled.
According to the video, the driver is a member of the Ford-Freak Club of Finland, and he clearly knows how to have some fun. Possibly inspired by his country's great rally drivers, he gets the tail way out going around this gently curving gravel track. The stunt is somewhat reminiscent of the stock cars races on the sand at Daytona Beach, and this is probably close to what it sounded like too. Scroll down to watch a very cool Finn getting his hot rod a little dirty.
Ford idling Michigan Assembly Plant to trim Focus, C-Max supply
Tue, 22 Oct 2013Ford will be putting the brakes on production at its Michigan Assembly Plant in Wayne, MI, idling production during the weeks of October 28 and December 16. Ford is citing the first drop in US sales in 27 months, a 4.2-percent dip in September, as the impetus for trimming their supplies, according to Automotive News.
Ford's deft management of its supplies has been part of its success over the years, and seeing supplies of Focus and C-Max, the two vehicles built at MAP, rise from 58 and 108 days, respectively, to 71 and 122 days over the span of a month was apparently all that was need to justify the trimming. As AN points out, the rule of thumb for many automakers is to maintain a 60-day supply of vehicles.
"Ford has been focused on keeping their pricing in check. Their operating margin is in double digits. Nobody else is there and they're obviously very proud of that," Alan Baum, an auto analyst with Baum & Associates told AN. Keeping the supply chain operating smoothly and not increasing supplies too much is crucial to that healthy profit margin. After all, a large supply lowers prices ,which, in turn, cuts profit. So while this news might not be great for employees at MAP, who now have an extra two weeks of vacation time, it's far from a sign of problems in Dearborn. Quite the opposite, actually.
