Offered For Sale is this Nice 1979 Ford Ranchero GT with 98k Original Miles on the 351 V-8 Power Plant. This belonged to an 80 Year Old Retired Mechanic Who Passed Away Late Last Year, And I Bought It From His Estate. Clear Title, Not Salvage. It has Great Body And Paint except for a couple spots on the passenger side that have very small areas of primer. Inside has an Interior That was redone at a cost of $900.00 and New Mufflers and Pipes with Chrome Tips that were $600.00 ($1,500.00 ) The Bed looks like new, no dents, no rust, nice and clean paint overall. Just went for a 40+ Mile Ride yesterday and it purred down the Highway. Heat Works, Horn and Lights, No Radio, Didn't Try The Cruise Or A/C. You can tell this Ranchero was babied and cared for. I wanted to keep it and add it to my collection, but it has been pointed out to me that we have 5 cars here, and in my enthusiasm for this nice ride I didn't take that into consideration. So reluctantly and so I can keep my 1962 T-Bird, and since I had to choose, this one will have to go. I also have a 1972 Ranchero so you see something has to go. Take a look at the pictures, I have a reasonable Reserve so I am hoping it will go to someone who would appreciate it. I can also get it to the nearest shipping facility in the Seattle area for you if you choose to have it shipped. I will work with you. I will hold the vehicle as well for a couple weeks if you need time. After that if you have not contacted me and picked the car up then you will forfeit the deposit of $200.00 which is due no more than 48 hours at auction end. I am selling the vehicle As-Is No Warranty Expressed Or Implied, and have done my best to describe and photograph it as accurately as possible. Please ask questions and make sure this is the vehicle you want. No Refunds, All Sales Are Final!! It is 34 years old and not a brand new car. If you choose to drive it from the West Coast to the East Coast or through Pike's Peak it's a great running car and I am pretty sure it can drive anywhere, but I won't make any Guarantees like that. I am just being realistic. Thank You and Happy Bidding!! If Paying Via Bank Draft, Please Note Nothing Will Be Released Until Funds are Verified and Cleared, Not Before Then!!!

Ford Focus 1.0-liter Ecoboost to only get manual trans in US
Sun, 23 Feb 2014Photos of the 2015 Ford Focus leaked earlier today, but now we're able to tell you more details of the global five-door hatchback. Bucking automaker's troubling trend of ditching manual transmissions in favor of automatics, Ford says the new 1.0-liter EcoBoost engine will come only in a six-speed manual in the US, because, well, American drivers aren't as sophisticated as our European brothers and sisters.
Ford didn't come out and say it that way, but it has found American drivers are more prone to complain about automatics in smaller-engine cars, Raj Nair, Ford's group vice president of global product development, said at a press conference last week. The recent JD Power Vehicle Dependability Study backs up Ford's claims, pointing out that drivers are complaining about rough transmission shifts, engine hesitation and lack of power, particularly in small cars. In Europe and other parts of the world, drivers seem to understand the quirks of these pint-sized engines, Nair said, so they'll have the option to buy an automatic. Ford is working on tuning its dual-clutch transmissions to make them more amenable to American driver's tastes.
Ford will show off the refreshed 2015 Focus at the Geneva Motor Show in early March. The car is due for an update, having been on sale in its current form since 2012. The automaker said it is jamming the car full of new technology - like a USB port that promises to charge your phone in half the time as a regular USB port. Features like Sync and a rear back-up camera will come standard. For a more in-depth look at the car, take a look at the full press release.
Martini Mustang is a 'what if moment' gone right
Wed, 23 Oct 2013Feast your eyes on a masterpiece. This is Steve Strope's Ford Mustang in the classic fastback bodystyle, and as you'll notice, it sports the signature colors of Martini Racing, a livery that's as legendary as any Gulf Racing-styled car. But the red, white and blues of the Martini stripe down this Mustang's middle tell only a very small part of the story, in the latest video from Petrolicious.
What would you guess is under the hood? A 289-cubic-inch V8? Maybe a 302, or some absurd Ford crate engine? Maybe Strope went all Tokyo Drift - he's actually responsible for the "Hammer" Plymouth Satellite driven by Vin Diesel at the end of the movie - and found an RB26DETT to drop into the pony car? You'd be wrong on all counts.
This mad, mad man somehow finagled a Ford-Lotus engine from a 1966 Indianapolis 500 car into the Mustang's engine bay. Yes, a Mustang with an engine designed for a 160-mile-per-hour, open-wheel racecar. That's like someone in 40 years dropping McLaren's 2.4-liter V8 from the MP4-28 into a Scion FR-S. It'd just make a monster.
Muscle wins big at 2013 Amelia Island Concours as 1936 Duesenberg, 1968 Ford GT40 take top honors
Wed, 13 Mar 2013The 18th-annual Amelia Island Concours d'Elegance took place this past weekend, and in one of the show's biggest years yet (bringing in more than 25,000 spectators and attracting more than 300 vehicles), two powerhouses ended up winning the judges' hearts. The top Concours d'Elegance award went to a 1936 Duesenberg SJN, while the Concours de Sport went to one of the celebrated marques, a 1968 Ford GT40.
Owned by Helen and Jack Nethercutt of Sylmar, CA, this flawless Duesy is described as "one of the most powerful open cars of the 1930s," and it displays design cues of the era like rolled fenders and a tapered rear end. The SJN's supercharged straight-eight allowed it to accelerate to 100 miles per hour in just 17 seconds - surely not a disappointing feat for its day.
On a much different level of performance and timelessness, this Gulf-livery GT40 from the Rocky Mountain Auto Collection is not outdone by the elegance of the big Duesenberg thanks to some well-documented racing history. This not only includes winning at LeMans in both 1968 and 1969 - Chassis No. 1075 also managed to win a total of six times in just 11 races.
