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.

Ford patents a multi-touch version of its classic keypad

Fri, Sep 9 2016

For decades, Ford has offered a keypad on the doors of their cars that would allow owners access with the right code. Amazingly, the keypad has survived almost unchanged except for a recent touch button version. A new patent from the Blue Oval shows the keypad may get a big upgrade soon. The first big change is that it looks like the keypad may move to the key fob. Although it might be possible to have it on the car itself as well, the patent only seems to focus on the key fob. In addition, the fob will now be a multi-touch pad similar to that of modern smartphones. This will allow for more diverse code entries, according to the patent's description. Instead of just a simple number code, owners could enter a code that involves swipes and keystrokes, and even simultaneous keystrokes. For instance, you could enter a code that requires swiping from 1 to 3, followed by holding 2 and 4 to unlock the car. The patent also seems to indicate that this keypad would then display unlock functions and other functions on the fob after the correct code is entered, thus making it more than just a way to unlock the car. As for the practical implications of this keypad system update, it could provide an added layer of security. If someone steals your keys, they would have to also know your access code to get into the car. Whether this would also help make the key and car harder to hack would remain to be seen, though. Another possible benefit could be the prevention of accidental lock and alarm button presses, although that likely isn't a common issue. There could be potential downsides as well. If used as an extra layer of security, the legitimate owner would have to punch in their code on the fob to get in, which would render proximity key benefits relatively useless. Moving the keypad to the fob would also mean owners couldn't get into their cars without having the key with them. We don't have any clues as to when this could become a feature, but it doesn't seem like it would be difficult to implement, so it could show up in the next few years.

2016 Ford Focus RS may yet be AWD, US sales likely

Fri, 29 Aug 2014

When it comes to forbidden fruit, few vehicles are spoken of in as hushed a tone as the Ford Focus RS. The turbocharged, five-cylinder hot hatch could only be seen from afar by American customers as it tore up the roads of Europe. And while it's safe to say that Ford's Yankee fans are quite happy to now be on equal footing with drivers in the old country thanks to the Focus ST, we doubt there'd be much protestation over a successor to the RS arriving stateside.
Of course, we've seen images of the new RS undergoing testing, but a new story by Road and Track aims to fill in some very large blanks in our knowledge of that car, thanks to a pair of mysterious insiders at the Ford. Chief among those is this - the RS will almost certainly make its way to the US, albeit in limited quantities. It gets better, though.
Under hood, the new RS is unsurprisingly expected to borrow the 2.3-liter, turbocharged four-cylinder from the 2015 Ford Mustang and 2015 Lincoln MKC. While that twin-scroll turbo produces 310 horsepower in the Mustang and 285 ponies in the MKC, R&T expects the RS to deliver quite a bit more firepower - 325 to 350 hp, with preference going to the higher output due to the limited-edition nature of the RS. This roughly fits with previous reports.

Ford leads top searched-for car brands on Google in 2014

Mon, Dec 22 2014

With less than two weeks until 2014 takes its final bow, anyone and everyone is looking back on the past 50 or so weeks to see how they stacked up. For search giant Google, that means its time to check out its annual Trends report. Besides the most popular search term (the late, great Robin Williams), the most searched for gadget (the iPhone 6) and most searched for disease symptoms (quite worryingly, Ebola took the crown here), we have the most searched for automaker. With the long-awaited sixth-generation of one of America's most iconic vehicles, the Mustang, and a ground-breaking update for the US market's perennial best seller, the F-Series, it should come as no surprise at all that Ford was Google's most searched for automaker in 2014. Jeep captured second place, while Dodge, took third. We suspect introducing a pair of cars with 707 horsepower had something to do with that bronze medal... Scroll down to see the rest of this year's most searched for automakers, and then head into Comments and let us know if you're surprised by any of these. This content is hosted by a third party.
