up for auction is a 1971 ford ranchero gt. it's a lifelong las vegas truck. This ranchero is as solid as it gets; no rust issues!!!The previous owner had over $7500 in vehicle with a lot of receipts for new engine parts. It's equipped with a 351 Cleveland that runs very strong. The transmission shifts good (it does have a shift kit) and it has a b and m quicksilver shifter(sometimes the b&m shifter acts goofy and makes it difficult to shift into reverse and park...replacing b&m shifter would probably be a good idea). The interior is in decent condition: carpet is ok, headliner decent, door panels are pretty good, dash has some cracks, and the seats has fabric off and could use recovering. The wheels are centerlines and they are in decent conditions. tires are just ok.. The paint in my opinion is a 5 out of 10; It has an older maaco quality black paint and the paint is cracking and fading in a few spots. The factory red paint is visible in a few spots. The best way to go on this ranchero would probably be to bring back the beautiful factory red paint with the lazer stripes. The bumper could be rechromed. The way this ranchero sits, it is very driveable and cool driver quality truck and it still gets a ton of attention but this truck has a ton of potential and without too much work, could be a show truck. The bed is super solid and in nice shape. runs good but could probably use a tune up or mechanical tlc. This ranchero is over 40 years old and will imperfections but it's super solid and a lot of truck for the money. Questions and inspections are welcomed and encouraged ; I'm located in maple grove , mn and I would love to show it. Good luck and happy bidding!!!!

Google's new Android Autos OS unveiled, will be in cars this year [w/video]
Wed, 25 Jun 2014Connected cars are coming en-masse. We know this much. How, though, remains something of an open question, especially as two of the world's largest tech companies are preparing to battle for control of your car's dashboard. On the one hand, we have Apple and its CarPlay system. And now, we know what Google has been working on with Auto Link.
Its new name is Android Auto, and yes, it's based off the Android architecture that is the primary challenger to Apple's iOS mobile operating system. Announced at Google's I/O conference today, Android Auto functions similarly to CarPlay - owners will need to plug their smartphones into their cars to access the full breadth of capability.
In Android Auto's case, that means a wealth of voice controls to limit distracted driving. Google's marquee apps will be available when the interface arrives in production models later this year, including Google Play Music, Google Maps and voice-activated texting and text playback. Meanwhile, developers will be able to begin designing custom apps for the new system via an upcoming software development kit.
2016 Ford Taurus to ride atop reworked Fusion platform
Wed, 19 Mar 2014Generally, cars get bigger and heavier as they get older. That's why it looks so ridiculous when you park a classic Mini next to a modern version. The same can be said of the Corvette, the BMW 3 Series, Porsche 911 and, of course, the Ford Taurus. In the Taurus' case, though, that size has become a liability, particularly because the big brute isn't nearly as sizable on the inside as it is on the out.
For 2016, Ford is aiming to rectify that. According to Edmunds, the 2016 Taurus will ride on a stretched and widened Ford Fusion platform. Ford is expecting this move to go a long way in trimming the Taurus' ample body fat.
"The problem with today's Taurus is that it is overweight and even the high performance SHO is not really competitive," said a source that spoke to Edmunds on condition of anonymity. The 365-horsepower SHO variant, "actually weighs about as much as the stretched Audi A8 L. Of course, Audi uses an extensive amount of aluminum, but it is a much bigger car."
Consumer Reports says Toyota, Ford, Honda and Chevy are big winners in brand perception survey
Wed, 05 Feb 2014According to Consumer Reports, the automotive brands that stand out in the minds of car buyers are, in order: Toyota, Ford, Honda and Chevrolet. This news comes after the magazine polled its readers, asking them to take into account vehicle quality, safety, performance, value, fuel economy, design/style, and technology/innovation - which are the factors that car shoppers are most influenced by.
It's important to note that this award is only about perception. In other words, it's perceived quality, not actual quality. "Often, perception can be a trailing indicator, reflecting years of good or bad performance in a category, and it can also be influenced by headlines in the media," said Jeff Bartlett, Consumer Reports deputy automotive editor.
The brand that made the biggest jump in perception amongst Consumer Reports readers is Tesla, which posted an impressive 47-point gain to finish in fifth place. Subaru is also notable for finishing in the top 10, despite being one of the smaller manufacturers doing business in the US.
