1973 Ford Ranchero Squire, Muscle Car, Drag Racing, High Performance, Racing on 2040-cars
Apache Junction, Arizona, United States
I have for sale my 1973 Ford Ranchero Squire. This car is extremely
rare, less than 400 are thought to be in existence now. Only 4900
Squires were made in 1973 and this is one of them with matching numbers
from the factory. It has the original V8 400ci engine and this thing is a
beast. It has a cowled air induction on the hood and the original Crag SS/T
Mag rims made with real magnesium. All emissions have been
professionally removed and does not need to pass the AZ emissions due to
being historic. Has historic plates on it. Here is a list of what I've
done to it in only 2 years. (Price Reduced)
brand new: Shocks Struts Front End Suspension Gas Tank Gas Lines Tires Windowfelt Kit, both doors Steering Wheel Kit Master Cylinder New Carb & a bunch more. Have an entire list of all new parts put in. Over $4000 in parts, not including labor. I have deep regrets I have to sell my baby, but I need the money and can no longer afford to work on it. I will ONLY sell this to someone who knows what they are doing with cars who can bring it the rest of the way to a show car. This car is too rare to sell to just anyone. Pictures included. Title is free and clear in my name. Don't try to scam me. I am a manager of a bank and I have seen it a million times. Only those interested need contact. |

These horribly misguided front-drive design studies nearly became the Mustang
Fri, 08 Nov 2013As we eagerly await the unveiling of the all-new sixth-generation Mustang, Ford has been giving us some great information over the past few months showing what has gone into shaping its venerable pony car. As many changes as the Mustang has gone through in its 50 years, though, it appears the fourth-gen model played a decisive and pivotal role in the car's future.
As is part of Mustang lore, the front-wheel drive Ford Probe was originally developed as a next-generation Mustang in the Eighties before cooler heads prevailed. The Blue Oval has just released a handful of images showing how bad things could have been - including a full-scale clay model of a front-wheel-drive Mustang (shown above). Fortunately, the FWD Mustang plan was scrapped and Ford went to work designing a rear-wheel-drive replacement for the Fox Body Mustang, with three design studies making it far enough to become full-scale models. These include the soft "Bruce Jenner" Mustang, the over-the-top "Rambo" Mustang and the middle-ground "Arnold Schwarzenegger" Mustang, which finally became the basis for the 1994 'Stang.
By early 1991, the design language of the fourth-generation Mustang had been worked out, and the rest, they say, is history. Scroll down for the fascinating press release telling the story of the fourth-gen Mustang, and be sure to check out the gallery of horribly misguided sketches and various design studies that were all on the table in the late 1980s.
Watch the Hennessey Ford GT makes its record run at Texas Mile
Wed, 27 Mar 2013We said they'd probably be out with an official video, we did not lie. The Hennessey-powered camouflage Ford GT sat at one end of the runway at the Texas Mile sitting still. At the other end of the runway it had broken its own speed record, the twin-turbo 5.7-liter V8 pushing the aerodynamic supercar up to 267.6 miles per hour, a 4.3-mph improvement over the old mark.
There's not much in the video you haven't already seen, this just makes it official. That said, who doesn't want to see a twin-turbo Ford GT set an incredible speed record? You can watch it below.
NHTSA investigating Ford Fiesta for faulty door latches
Mon, 15 Sep 2014The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration has opened a preliminary investigation on the 2011-2013 Ford Fiesta because the regulator has received 61 complaints from drivers, including one claim of an injury, about the doors on the subcompacts failing to latch and sometimes even flying open while driving. NHTSA has estimated that the problem could affect as many as 205,000 vehicles.
NHTSA is still gathering further data about the problem, but looking at the complaints so far, both front and rear doors appear to be potentially involved with the alleged failures. Among the reports, there are 12 claiming that the door opened while driving. Several also indicate the "Door Ajar" warning illuminating during this problem. The one purported injury happened when someone attempted to shut the door, and it bounced back.
Ford spokesperson Kelli Felker told Autoblog via email, "We are cooperating with NHTSA on this investigation, as we always do." Scroll down to read the report from NHTSA.
