Driving this BEAST

The Ranchero is blisteringly fast and I can say I do not have the guts to stay on the gas for very long – frankly, it’s scary fast.

It handles well with the suspension mods, considering the geometry is stock. The brakes keep up with the added power and are not boosted because I like heavy braking and steering in a heavy, powerful car like this. It has definitely turned a few heads at autocross events!

I would be 100% confident to get in this car and drive it anywhere today and would feel the same about seeing off the new buyer on a great road trip home.

Registered in Pennsylvania as antique to keep the insurance rates very low; clear title in my name.

About the sale:

I’m selling my Ranchero because I fell for (and bought) a 34 Ford pickup and have been, since that time, bitten by the traditional hot rod bug.

We can seal the deal with a $500 non-refundable PayPal deposit within 24 hours of auction close; the balance of payment will be due within 7 days after auction close. I will accept a wire transfer, cashier's check or cash; no money orders, please. To avoid paying a large PayPal service charge, I’ll only accept the deposit amount through PayPal.

Over the years, I’ve been totally satisfied, both as a buyer and seller, with Intercity Lines (http://www.intercitylines.com) and I’ll certainly make myself available for your shipper or you to get the car. If you win the auction and decide to fly to Philly to drive the Ranchero home, please call me and maybe I can pick you up at the Philly airport.

I’ll be happy to send you the title by FedEx on the day after your payment clears my bank (I’m giving myself a day in case I get jammed up at work and I can’t get to the FedEx box in time).

Any bidder with significant negative feedback or less than 5 total feedback ratings should contact me by phone to prevent his bid from being rejected. Thank you.

The Ranchero must be picked up by June 30th.

Call Franck @ (215) 272-7953

Happy bidding!

Ford finally issues recall for 230K minivans over rust problems

Sun, 10 Mar 2013

The rust issue in the rear wheel wells of 2004-2007 Ford Freestar and Mercury Monterey minivans has finally led to a recall. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration began an investigation into the matter in 2011, said investigation being upgraded to an engineering analysis a year later while NHTSA tried to figure out how many model years should be included in the assessment.
Ford has decided to recall all of the 230,000 minivans potentially affected, namely those sold in salt-belt states and countries like Canada. The excess rust in the rear wheel wells was also able to prevent the third-row seats from locking to the floor of the minivan. To repair the problem, owners can take their minivans to dealers, and the dealers will place new panels in the wheel wells, replace the third-row seat mounting brackets and relocate the latches to an area away from any corrosion.
Ford says it will begin notifying owners during the last week of March.

Bill Ford op-ed argues we can't just build and sell more of the same cars

Thu, 10 Jul 2014

It's hardly a secret that the auto industry is undergoing an enormous, tectonic shift in the way it thinks, builds cars and does business. Between alternative forms of energy, a renewed focus on low curb weights and aerodynamic bodies, the advent of driverless and autonomous cars and the need to reduce the our impact on the environment, it's very likely that the car that's built 10 years down the line will be scarcely recognizable when parked next to the car from 10 years ago.
Few people are as able to explain the industry's many upcoming changes and challenges as clearly as William Clay Ford, Jr., better known as Bill Ford. The 57-year-old currently sits as the executive chairman of the company his great-grandfather, Henry Ford, founded over 110 years ago.
In an op-ed piece in The Wall Street Journal (subscription required), Ford explains that the role of automakers is, necessarily, going to change to suit the needs of the future world. That means changing the view of not just the automobile, but the automaker. As Ford explains it, automakers will "move from being just car and truck manufacturers to become personal-mobility companies."

Ford Australia debuts Ranger-based Everest SUV concept

Tue, 13 Aug 2013

Ford has been in hot water in Australia ever since it announced plans to end local production of the Falcon and Territory SUV. Besides canceling a model that is to Oz what the Mustang is to America, the end of production means more than a few folks will be out of work.
Keen to prove that it has a plan for the market, Ford has unveiled the Aussie-penned Everest Concept, a rough-and-tumble, seven-seat SUV. While not a direct replacement for the aging Territory (that role will eventually be filled by either the Edge or Flex, according to Car Advice) it's an indication from Ford's brass that the Blue Oval is still committed to Australia.
To prove that fact, Alan Mullaly, Mark Fields, Jim Farley and regional execs descended on Sydney for the debut of the new concept. Ford's Australian president and CEO, Bob Graziano, said of the Everest, "Our customers, our employees and Australia can be assured that we're connected to the nation and committed to our customers through terrific products with class-leading technologies."
