1978 Fairmont home built Ranchero,I have owned this for about three years, I got it from a friend who bought it in 1995.He had replaced the engine with a 5.0 that only had 20k miles .The car had 72k miles when it was put in,it now has 92k miles on the car, so the engine has around 40k miles.It has an edlebrock intake,edlebrock carb,and dual exaust with a C-4 trans and a 2.79 rear gear. It cruises good on the freeway and gets pretty good fuel milage.The car has nice driver quality paint and the interior is in good original condition.I have replaced the fuel pump,brakes, front disc and rear drums,and 4 new tires.The paint is less than a year old,I repainted it because the clear coat was fading in several spots,there was not any rust repair.Overall this is a good dependable daily driver that is different. The air still works,and it has a new Va. inspection.This car needs a few small cosmetic things to be nicer,the rubber at the edge of the door where the windows roll up needs replaced.It needs to be cleaned and detailed under the hood,and the back window needs to have the tint replaced,also it would not hurt to have a better stereo,it still has a cassette player.
I would like this car to be picked up in person so you can see what you are getting,if you do not like the car at that time you will not have to take it.I would not hesitate to drive this car a long distance home. I drove it on a 300 mile trip a few weeks ago.If you have any questions you may call Darrell at 276-628-6540 (H) 276-608-4193(C)276-628-8257 OFFICE.

Ford jumps back in the water with marinized 6.2L V8
Wed, 06 Nov 2013Nameplates like the Mercury Mariner and Lincoln Navigator aside, Ford hasn't offered a marine engine in over two decades. But through a new partnership with one of the biggest names in the business, the Dearborn-based automaker is dipping its proverbial toes back in the water.
Announced yesterday at the SEMA Show in Las Vegas, the new partnership between Ford Component Sales and Indmar Marine Engines will see the 6.2-liter V8 from the F-150 SVT Raptor and F-Series Super Duty marinized for use in boats.
The largest privately owned inboard gasoline marine engine manufacturer in the world, Indmar has been in the business for 43 years, and figures the Ford V8 will be just what watersport enthusiasts are looking for to tow waterskiers and wakeboarders to their hearts' content.
Motor Trend pits Subaru WRX vs. Ford Focus ST
Thu, 23 Jan 2014The Ford Focus ST has enjoyed a relatively calm, if brief, reign in the world of hot hatches. With nothing else in the class (in the States, at least) but the aging Mazdaspeed3 and Subaru Impreza WRX and the slow-selling Volkswagen Golf R, the Blue Oval's 252-horsepower five door has been the go-to vehicle for those that don't need the high-octane lunacy (and expense) of the rally bred Subaru Impreza WRX STI and Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution X.
Now, though, as the new Subaru WRX (it's not an Impreza anymore, though, neither is it a hatchback...) starts to arrive at dealers, the Focus ST appears to be under threat for the first time. Naturally, Motor Trend is here to figure out which one is the best, with another one of its Head 2 Head videos. Host Jonny Lieberman puts both cars through their paces, going above and beyond, quite literally, at the very end of the video.
Have a look below and let us know what you think of MT's verdict in Comments.
Ford confirms Everest SUV production for China
Sat, 19 Apr 2014According to Ford, the Chinese SUV segment grew by 49 percent in 2013, and the Blue Oval held a 4.5 percent market share. At the 2014 Beijing Motor Show, Ford is showing the Everest SUV that, while just a concept for now, will go into production in the near future.
The Everest is a big, brawny seven-seat SUV that mixes solid, chiseled styling and contemporary Ford design cues. Up front there is an angular version of the trapezoidal grille and sharp, wraparound headlights. The beltline rises in the rear to make the back appear higher than the front. The rear seems just as chiseled, with the taillights resting in jagged scallops. There is no doubt that this concept means to look rugged, and ready for rough roads - the whole thing looks pretty great.
The truck was penned by Ford's Asia Pacific design and engineering team in Australia, and it was first shown in Sydney last year. Ford's JMC joint venture will build the truck for the Chinese market, and it will be sold at Ford dealers there. The Blue Oval isn't hinting at what powers the production version yet, but it reportedly shares some components with the foreign-market Ranger.
