Here's what I can offer you. The car was bought new on September 12, 1969 from Monahan Ford Corporation of Flushing, New York. I have to envolope with the owners manual and warranty cards when it was delivered. I bought it from a man who acquired it in the mid 90's and restored it to its present state. I hold a VA title that shows 70,495 actual miles but I only assume that to be the true miles. The car has some rust on the undercarriage and a few blisters in the paint on the tailgate and bottom of the right hand front fender. The gas gauge is inoperable and the transmission has a fluid leak. I have not done much to identify the problems. I did have a very knowledgable Ranchero owner look at the car and claimed it was fair priced at 5K for the condition both good and bad. The car is a good Sunday driver and easy to maintain as a basic car would be. I get thumbs up and compliments every time I drive it some place. The car has the original 289 but a '83 intake and 4 barrel was added. It has an Pertronix ignition module to rid the pesky points system. It is a 4 wheel drum brake non power assist but does have power steering. No A/C. The bed has some dents (inside) where it was used like a truck but no rust through. It was also painted at the same time. Air shocks and a 9" rear end with 3:00 to I axle. I believe this car is capable of making an extended road trip with little to no problems. I drive it on interstates and boulevards around here without much concern.
The car was painted a late model Ford Caymen Green in the late 90's. It is a base coat/clear coat process and not the original color. All jams and under hood sprayed and shows no trace of original color. The car has GT badging in the grill and GT wheels. Also aftermarket mirrors were install recently. Again this is a cruiser not a correct show car.
I can take any picture if you need to see something particular. I don't believe the car will lose value if kept in the current condition, If anything perhaps increase. I need about 8K to build a race motor for my modified is the reason for the sale. But I have the modified up for sale too. So if that gets sold I want need a motor and will keep the Ranchero.
I represent this item to be in the described condition, However item is sold AS-IS. Please contact me if you have any questions so to make an informed bid.
I will require a $250 Non Refundable within 24 hours of the end of the auction. Understand that by bidding, you are effecting to contract. I want to sell the car and I want the buyer to be happy with their purchase. I will do my very best to make this transaction an excellent one. If you bid, you will be expected to pay. If the car disappoints you to such a degree at personal pick up, we will try to resolve that at that time. If it is picked up by a shipper, then you own it.
Vehicle is for sale locally and auction may end if sold.
Good luck

How Ford's light lab keeps the sun shining on the new Mustang just right [w/video]
Thu, 02 Jan 2014Anyone who's bought one of those old school metal shift knobs knows they're really cool until they sit in a parking lot in the sun for a few hours. Then they're not cool at all. Likewise, features such as the aluminum dash on the 2015 Ford Mustang can be all kinds of neat right up until the sun hits it just the right way and sends shards of blinding light through the cabin. The Ford Visual Performance and Evaluation Lab is where engineers figure out how to make sure that doesn't happen.
Cars like said Mustang are parked inside the 30-foot reflecting dome under 6,000 watts of lights that can mimic the sun at any time of day and in any weather condition. Engineers can then spend cold, overcast days inside, testing for interior legibility, glare and reflections on every interior and exterior surface as if it were bright and sunny. They can also learn how a car's sheetmetal and colors will look out of doors, all year round.
Ford showed off the lighting lab without the music and interviews three years ago when the Explorer was being prepared. You can watch it at work again in the video below, and read about it in the press release below that.
Ford's Mulally now said to be in lead for Microsoft CEO job
Sun, 29 Sep 2013There have been rumors that Ford CEO Alan Mulally could assume the top job over at Microsoft, whose CEO, Steve Ballmer, will retire within the year. Mulally hasn't come out and said that he's considering moving to Microsoft after (or before) his contract with Ford through 2014 ends, but sources in the know say he's the front-runner to become the tech giant's CEO and has opened up to the idea more in recent weeks, AllThingsD reports.
Mulally is no stranger to Washington, where Microsoft is located, having worked in the state for Seattle-based Boeing Commercial Airplanes as CEO years ago. He also recently was an adviser to Ballmer in an effort to realign the company's management structure to help it become more competitive in a fast-changing computer hardware and software market. And when Ford developed its Sync digital interface, it tapped Microsoft to provide the operating system, Microsoft Auto. Perhaps the least crucial connection - but nonetheless an important one - is that Mulally still owns a house in the Seattle area, and it's been said he wants to return there, according to AllThingsD.
A main challenge Microsoft's next CEO will face is how to manage the company's numerous, fractured operations and, eventually, streamline them. But even on this front, Mulally has experience; after all, it was he who ushered in an era of global Ford vehicles, after the automaker had become complacent developing and selling vehicles by region leading up to the economic recession of 2008-2009.
Ford recalling 370,000 Crown Vic, Grand Marquis and Town Car models
Fri, 30 Aug 2013The Detroit News is reporting that Ford will recall some 370,000 Crown Victoria (pictured), Mercury Grand Marquis and Lincoln Town Car vehicles from model years 2005 through 2011, for an issue regarding the lower intermediate steering shaft. 355,000 of the vehicles in question were sold in the US, with the other 15,000 sold in Canada.
The report indicates that corrosion of the lower intermediate steering shaft could cause a "loss of steering," presumably because of a partial or complete failure of the part. The report points out the dealers will inspect and replace the offending steering component for recalled cars, and may also secure a lower steering column bearing and replace the upper intermediate steering shaft as needed. The company is unaware of any reports of the faulty part causing any accidents or injuries.
Ford helpfully lists states in which corrosion is more likely to have taken place, mostly in the Snow Belt, as you might guess. Connecticut, Delaware, Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Kentucky, Maine, Maryland, Massachusetts, Michigan, Minnesota, Missouri, New Hampshire, New Jersey, New York, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, Vermont, Virginia, Wisconsin, West Virginia, and the District of Columbia are listed.
