1973 Ford Ranchero GT
This is an all origional 73 Ranchero GT that has been inside for a long time. I purchased from the origional owner. Car runs and drives Great. Was not neglected. Battery was charged and had been started every so often and moved around. The car/Truck has origional paint with exception of a couple of places. Both rear quarters were painted from stripe down back in early 80's have reciepts for that. There is rusted through places behind both rear wheels. No more holes rusted through in car. Body is very straight with nothing more than a ding here and there maybe 5 or so. Worst one being on the hood about the size of a half dollar. Car has had the camper shell on it since new. Also has carpet back there, that if removed would be a dent free bed that would slick out nicely. Camper is "ugly" but i wanted to leave it on so that it would be with car.
Car has 429 4V engine with auto transmission. Does not smoke, or have any blowback from valve cover. Transmission shifts good as it should. Power steering leaks fluid very bad from a hose that needs replacing. Has power brakes, and is an air conditioned car. Belt is off of A/C compressor but compressor is NOT locked up.
Interior is completely origional with floor mats made into the carpet. Looped carpet is fuzzed up on drivers side from getting in and out. Seats are good with a little wear and tear on drivers seat. Dash is perfect, door panels are dried out but look ok they would need attention. Headliner has a couple of places where the stitching has come out, about 4 or 5 inches long. Does have the curtain that covers up spare tire and storage area behind seats and it is in good condition. Spare tire and all of the jack and assesories are there.
Tires have been on the car since, he said 82. They have almost new tread but are dry rotted and would need replaced. I bought the car and washed and vaccumed interior. Did not wax or polish exterior or Armor All interior, as not to cause any problems for a body shop. Car would make excelent project for restore or fix a few things and drive as is. There is nothing missing from car or added to car except trailer hitch. No surprises from something being covered up.
You are welcome to come and look at car before bidding. I am selling with NO RESERVE. At auction end buyer must pay a $500 deposit though PayPal with the balance due at pick up. CASH or CASHIER CHECK
CAR COMES WITH BILL OF SALE, AS TITLES DO NOT APPLY IN ALABAMA PRIOR TO 1975. HOWEVER I DO HAVE A UTAH CERTIFICATE OF TITLE THAT WAS ISSUED WHEN CAR WAS BOUGHT NEW

Ford to rebrand SVT as 999?
Mon, 22 Sep 2014Ford operates a number of performance divisions around the world. There's SVT in the US, Team RS in Europe and Ford Performance Vehicles (FPV) in Australia. But the Blue Oval has been steadily integrating its performance operations into one unit, and here we might have our first indication of what it will be called.
A reader at Jalopnik sent in a survey in which respondents were asked to gauge the name for a new performance brand from a "major automotive manufacturer," and while the identity of that automaker was not disclosed, according to the survey, the automaker is considering the name 999 for its new go-fast unit.
As our compatriots point out, the 999 was Ford's first racecar, a rudimentary chassis with a 19-liter inline-four campaigned by Henry Ford around the turn of the 20th century. (Ford also used the number to designate a Fusion fuel-cell racer a few years back.) That could prove the tie-in Dearborn is looking for in rebranding its performance operations worldwide, replacing the letters SVT, RS and FPV globally under one name.
Ford and 'Dirty Jobs' pitchman Mike Rowe part ways [w/videos]
Thu, 20 Feb 2014Former Dirty Jobs host Mike Rowe has one less job as of today - the pitchman is no longer a pitchman for Ford, with yesterday's announcement from Rowe ending a seven-year partnership between the TV host and the Blue Oval.
Rowe made the announcement to political pundit Glenn Beck, saying the two are "going in different directions" and wishing Ford "every possibly success that any car company could ever have," according to The Detroit News. Rowe and Ford got together in 2005, right around the time the 51-year-old came to prominence as the host of Dirty Jobs and the narrator for Deadliest Catch, two of the Discovery Channel's most popular shows.
Take a look below for a few video snippets of Rowe's tenure at Ford.
Ford Fiesta ST customs get wild at SEMA
Tue, 05 Nov 2013The massive 57-car SEMA showcase by Ford ranges from obvious aftermarket-friendly models like the Mustang, to the not so obvious ones, like the Transit Connect and cute-as-an-explosive-button Fiesta ST. Ford plucked several Fiesta STs for SEMA duty, and we were on the show floor today to get a closer look at some of them.
First up is the striking COBB Tuning and Tanner Foust Racing Fiesta ST (above) finished in a black-and-gray digital camouflage, much like that used in the military, and is meant to raise awareness for the Pat Tillman Foundation. COBB also fitted a three-inch exhaust and a cold-air intake. A new shift knob, carbon-fiber hood and a Kicker stereo round out the mix of upgrades.
MRT got its hands on a Fiesta ST and created a car inspired by Forza Motorsport 5 (below, left). Featuring a two-tone paint job and more performance upgrades than you can shake a stick at, this Fiesta ST is one of the cooler compacts at Ford's stand. A high-performance exhaust system, along with a complimentary COBB induction system, allows the ST to breathe better, while an H&R coil over suspension and Steeda brakes help it stop and turn better than stock.
