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.
Other
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 August 15th.

Former Cadillac boss Butler takes Ford tech job
Tue, 07 Jan 2014When Don Butler made the surprising decision to leave his post as Cadillac's VP of global strategic development, it was a surprise. Citing a desire to "recalibrate, reassess my priorities" in that August announcement, it wasn't entirely clear where Butler - a virtual General Motors lifer after spending nearly 30 years with the company - would end up. Turns out he took a trip to Dearborn.
Butler has taken a position in the newly created position of Executive Director of Connected Vehicles and Services at Ford, where he'll be responsible for the Blue Oval's global connectivity strategy. "Not only does Don understand the connected car landscape, but probably just as important, he understands customer expectations," said Raj Nair, who, as Group Vice President of Global Product Development, is Butler's new boss. "Having a leader with technology experience both inside and outside the industry is a rare combination - we're excited to have Don join our team."
As Ford has received its fair share of flak for the sometimes recalcitrant MyFord Touch infotainment system and its Sync voice-controls, it appears that Butler has his work cut out for him.
2015 Ford Mustang renders reveal look of the real thing
Tue, 15 Oct 2013This is, according to the pony-car obsessed kids over at Mustang6G.com, the closest, most accurate rendering of the new, 2015 Ford Mustang to date. Artis Chazcron used a combination of Ford CAD images and information from assorted spy shots to assemble a fairly handsome car, albeit one that conforms to the tired cliché of being more evolutionary than revolutionary.
Now, it's very important to note that these are still speculative renders, and that they only represent the base car - that could explain the lack of the Mustang's vestigial side scoops, along with other, newer styling cues that Mustang6G seems to think will arrive on production models. Those items include a new, double-bubble roof, although the Mustang aficionados claim that even if it were present, it'd barely be visible from these angles.
The front end is pretty spot on, compared to what we've seen from earlier spy shots, while the tail, with its interesting light design is something new. The louvered taillights look quite different from the current version, obviously, though Mustang has gone the whimsical route with taillights before. Also, note the new rear diffuser uses an integrated reverse light and rear foglight, the latter of which is required for sale in Europe.
Ford using robot drivers to test durability [w/video]
Sun, 16 Jun 2013In testing the durability of its upcoming fullsize Transit vans, Ford has begun using autonomous robotic technology to pilot vehicles through the punishing courses of its Michigan Proving Grounds test facility. The autonomous tech allows Ford to run more durability tests in a single day than it could with human drivers, as well as create even more challenging tests that wouldn't be safe to run with a human behind the wheel.
The technology being used was developed by Utah-based Autonomous Solutions, and isn't quite like the totally autonomous vehicles being developed by companies like Google and Audi for use out in the real world. Rather, Ford's autonomous test vehicles follow a pre-programmed course and their position is tracked via GPS and cameras that are being monitored from a central control room. Though the route is predetermined, the robotic control module operates the steering, acceleration and braking to keep the vehicle on course as it drives over broken concrete, cobblestones, metal grates, rough gravel, mud pits and oversize speed bumps.
Scroll down to watch the robotic drivers in action, though be warned that you're headed for disappointment if you expect to see a Centurion behind the wheel (nerd alert!). The setup looks more like a Mythbusters experiment than a scene from Battlestar Galactica.
