Up for auction I have my 57 Ford Ranchero. I have decided not to build the car and expand my small business. This is the nicest body That I have found in 30 years for building. The car has been stripped to bare metal sealed and primered. The only body damage besides maybe a few dings is the passenger rocker panel that will need to be replaced. It has very MINIMAL rust. A little in the lip of the passenger rear wheel well. Small amount in the rear floor pans. The transmission tunnel has been cut up for some kind of shifter but I have another trans tunnel for it that just needs trimmed and welded in. The underneath of the fender eyebrows all of these areas they make reproductions for. The complete underneath bed area is absolutely nice and no rust, this also means the spare tire area. The tailgate and doors are solid. The front clip doors and tailgate have been removed for ease of work on the car. I can bolt back on temporarily for transport if needed. The vehicle has custom weld wheels and radial tires. Many parts including hood hinges and core support have been powder coated. I believe I have almost all the trim with the exception of a couple pieces of side chrome. I have all of the stainless that goes around the bed. and that's the hard part to find if missing. Other pieces are easy to find.

Now here is whats missing on the car. The front windshield, radiator, seat, gauges, radio, gas tank, and drive line. and of course engine and transmission.

But I do have available but NOT included is a Running Mercury 312 YBlock A Heavy Duty large shaft C4 transmission, a Beautiful custom upholstered split bench seat That came out of a 57 ford 2 door hardtop that was a show car and he decided to go to buckets. I also have a front end rebuild kit power break conversion and as I said before NOT INCLUDED but avalible.

The pictures are small if you give me your email address by breaking it in code if not ebay wont send the message and I can send larger pictures to you. If you need additional pictures or have any questions. feel free to ask. The car is sitting at my father in laws In Sutherlin Oregon

Popular Science magazine's Best Of What's New 2012 all ate up with cars

Tue, 20 Nov 2012

Popular Science has named the winners in its Best of What's New awards, the victors coming in the categories of aerospace, automotive, engineering, entertainment, gadgets, green, hardware, health, home, recreation, security and software. The automotive category did not go wanting for lauded advancements:
Tesla Model S: the Grand Award winner for being "the standard by which all future electric vehicles will be measured."
BMW 328i: it's 2.0-liter turbocharged four-cylinder gets called out for being more powerful and frugal than the six-cylinder it replaces.

Ford GT to be revived, Le Mans battle upcoming

Sun, 05 Oct 2014

Ford dominated the 24 Hours of Le Mans from 1966 to 1969, scoring four consecutive wins. Wouldn't it be great if the Blue Oval could go back to France for the 50th anniversary of that performance and show it can still compete in international endurance racing? Actually, the latest rumors indicate that could be exactly the case, and the car taking that checkered flag could be another revival of the Ford GT.
As the rumblings go, Ford wants to use a new supercar to take another crack at Le Mans, after considering some other possible alternatives. Substantiating these musings are reports that a Blue Oval rep was reportedly on hand for a recent meeting about 2016 GTE-Class rules, according to Road and Track. That would put the new GT in the same racing class as the Corvette, Ferrari 458 Italia, Porsche 911 and others.
It's not all about racing, though. If you win on Sunday, you want something to be able to sell on Monday. The revived GT is reportedly still a mid-engine supercar, but the exact engine is unclear. It's possible that it could even be shown or announced at the Detroit auto show in January, according to Motor Trend.

Ford settles class action suit over defective Navistar diesel engines

Fri, 25 Oct 2013

The 2003 Ford F-Series Super Duty (shown above) introduced the 6.0-liter Power Stroke diesel supplied by Navistar, and while that is an engine Ford would love to forget, it's now one step closer to putting that particular problem behind it. Automotive News is reporting that Ford has settled a class-action lawsuit brought on by problems with this engine that started right out of the gate and ultimately broke up the 30-year relationship between Ford and Navistar.
Owners and lessees of 2003-2007 Super Duty trucks and E-Series vans equipped with the 6.0-liter Power Stroke are eligible for deductible reimbursements of between $50 and $200 from the original five-year/100,000-mile engine warranty, while Ford is paying out as much as $825 for out-of-warranty engine repairs. These repairs may include the exhaust gas recirculation (EGR) cooler, EGR valve, oil cooler, fuel injectors and turbocharger, but are only covered if the components failed before six years or 135,000 miles.
In total, Ford has agreed to pay about 50 percent of the value of the repairs and deductibles paid by its customers who submit a claim before the end of this year, and $150,000 is going to the 16 named plaintiffs in the case; Navistar was not included in the lawsuit.
