1957 Ford Ranchero 390, 3 Speed. I picked up this body in Bakersfield a couple years ago to build a shop truck. I have since retired and this is as far as it got. Runs really good. Drives fine. 390, BUT it might be a 352. I took it out of a 57 Retractable. 62 model block with 58 machined chamber heads. 4 brl. Does not smoke or leak. 3 Speed on the column. Later trans with synchronized low. Trans needs a rear seal. Went through the brake system. New Master cylinder, wheel cylinders, metal lines and new hoses. New fuel pump, aluminum radiator, upper a frame bushings, rear shocks, emergency brake cable. Tires and wheels were something I had laying around the shop. Rear 255/35/ZR20, front 245/40/ZR20. The front tires have some cracks in the side walls. One front center cap is broke. All the lights and signals work as well as the horn. All the glass is good except the rear window has a crack and some b-b chips. New windshield seal. New Headliner and some cheap cut to fit carpet. I have all the inside trim and a extra set of stainless for around the bed. It needs lower quarters, rockers and fenders repaired. I have done the floor. I have a set of lower quarters I cut off another car that go with it as well as the door moldings. IT NEEDS A GAS TANK. I run it on can in the back. The old tank is still under the car so you have the filler neck and straps. You can pick it up here 79830 Alpine Tx. With a couple days notice I can meet you in Hamlin Tx 79520. Just north of Abilene. I have a two car trailer with up coming trips to Phoenix, Billings Mt, Biloxi Ms and In. I can drop it off along any of those routes or meet you somewhere. Storage after payment is not a problem. 214-226-3119. E mailing me works best. Cell Reception here is spotty. I am sure I forgot something. It is for sale locally.

Ford gets colorful with Mustang anniversary infographic

Thu, 24 Oct 2013

Preparing to celebrate its 50th birthday, the Ford Mustang has seen a lot of vehicle trends come and go, and this especially goes for paint colors. Using historical production data, Ford has managed to create an infographic dating back to 1967 that breaks down the three top Mustang colors for each year as well as calling out some of the more interesting trends and colors over the years.
Over its five generations, the Mustang has been offered in a seemingly endless rainbow - from Playboy Pink in '67 and color-changing Mystichrome on the 2004 Cobra - but the most popular has always been red, which is the color of choice for 21 percent of all Mustangs ever made. Almost every year since 1967, red has been among the top three colors for the Mustang, but other popular colors have included blue, white, brown and, most recently, black. There are even websites and registries available for people owning certain-color Mustangs.
As the all-new 2015 Mustang gets ready for its debut later this year, there's no telling what kind of exciting and/or wacky colors Ford has in store. Click on the image above to see the full infographic (choose the "large" option for optimal viewing), or check it out in a smaller size along with the press release posted below.

Wrap up some fun with Ford's commercial vehicle configurator

Tue, 27 Aug 2013

Ford has combined multiple steps into one with its commercial vehicle configurator, which allows users to choose, design and place orders for the Transit, Transit Connect, E-Series vans and F-Series Super Duty trucks.
The most interesting part of the new configurator is a fairly robust design tool. Users are able to choose paint color and wrap the vehicle, and then create their own graphics. No materials are needed - Ford provides numerous background textures, text boxes, plenty of shapes and 20 categories of images including floral, construction, plumbing and skylines. Self-created designs or images can be uploaded to the system as well.
We played around with the design tool a bit and uploaded our own image to create the Autoblog Podcast Live van you see here. Feel free to check out the configurator and make your own design.
