Las Vegas, Nevada, United States

Las Vegas, Nevada, United States

Selling  a 1969 Ranchero in excellent condition, original low mile car with no rust (California - So. Nevada). This is an uncut original with very low miles and it shows. 

Exterior; has had recent repaint, some paint missing on hood near molding (see pic), small scratch on front fender(see pic), right  hood scoop turn signal light does not illuminate however turn signal device works properly at all other locations,  period correct wheels with nearly new back tires and brand new front tires, chrome is in good to excellent condition, body is  straight, bed has mat covering a near perfect floor. This car/truck looks great up close or far away. 

Interior; upholstery, door panels, headliner in excellent condition, dash pad has no cracks, carpet is in very good condition with mats, includes two additional kick panel as passenger one has a crack in it. CD/AM/FM/Sirius ready head unit installed in glove box with remote, two box speakers behind seat. There are NO modifications to this dash, no cuts in the metal, looks as it did 45 years ago, both windows work well, heater, fan, lights, turn signals, brake lights, hazards all work. Factory radio still in dash (unknown condition as it is bypassed for aftermarket one in glove box). 

Drive Train; Starts up on the first try every time, runs very smooth, trans shifts normally, the 302-2 bl accelerates the car/truck well, tracks perfectly, stops perfectly (no pulling). Has Cherry Bomb dual exhaust so it sounds great, some what period correct sound. Electric Fuel pump added by previous owner (never told why) with factory mechanical still plumbed in place.  There is a minor oil leak at back of motor, about a drop every few days, the trans has no leaks, the differential has no leaks. 

Mechanical;    Since February of this year, I  have replaced or had replaced the following items: 
New front brakes rotors
New front brake pads
Front end alignment (front end is tight)
New front shocks
New sway bar bushings polyurethane (new in box, not yet installed, see pic)
New sway bar end links, polyurethane (new in box, not yet installed, see pic)
All three high pressure power steering hoses replaced with new
Rear transmission seal replaced 
Both real axle shaft seals and bearings replaced
New brake shoes in rear, drums  turned
New rear sensa-trac  shocks (new in box, not yet  installed, see pic)
New front tires 

I purchased this Ranchero as I wanted a rig to replace my truck, but one with style and class . This one has all that and more, but its in too good of a condition for me to use it as a truck, I don't  want to scratch it or get it dinged in a parking lot.  Its fun to cruise, gets lot of attention/conversation wherever I go. The Ranchero just doesn't get used or driven  enough by me, again because of its condition, plus  I have a Cougar that I prefer to cruise around in.  

No Warranty either expressed or implied, Ranchero is sold as is. Buyer responsible for all shipping cost. I will help get it to a shippers dock location if its within a reasonable distance from my location.

Jay Leno sees how the other half lives with CHP cop cars new and old

Mon, 01 Jul 2013

Comedian Jay Leno is changing gears from driving fast cars to checking out some of the police cruisers that regularly chase down and dish out punishment to those fast cars. In this episode of Jay Leno's Garage, we get the lowdown on the modifications made to the Ford Explorer for the Interceptor package (which looks pretty tough in its California Highway Patrol livery).
The new Ford is cool, but cooler still are the pack of classic CHP cars that Jay has along for the episode. A 1982 Mustang, 1966 Dodge Polara, 1970 Mercury Monterey and 2000 Crown Victoria are all in the shop. Better still, Jay lays out an argument for ones of the classic cruisers as the best cop car of all time. Get your guesses in now, and then scroll down to watch and learn.

Former Cadillac boss Butler takes Ford tech job

Tue, 07 Jan 2014

When 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.

This is what a 3D-printed liquid metal Ford Torino looks like

Sat, 12 Oct 2013

Artist Ioan Florea has encapsulated a 1971 Ford Torino with 3-D-printed liquid metal transferred onto the car using technology that he developed, and the result is a stunningly shiny, seamless design.
"The surface has the highest coefficient of reflectivity never achieved before," Florea told us in an e-mail, using "nano-materials and nano-pigments that create an internal three-dimensional structure and dictate the polymer how to behave." Sure... We'll leave it to him to make any more 3-D-printed liquid metal-transferred art pieces.
Florea grew up in Romania, and the motivation behind picking the old Ford as his canvas came from his childhood memories of what an American car is - "big and wide and fascinating," he says - and the European name of the car itself, which it shares with an Italian city.
