You are bidding on a 1971 Ford Ranchero 500 which came from the factory finished in Ford's best color, Calypso Coral.  It has been repainted once over the original paint in a slightly brighter shade of red which still shines and looks very nice.  In my opinion 1970 and 1971 were the pinnacle years for Ranchero and it's cousin, the Torino.


Here are some specific details:

-Factory H-code V8 car
-Rebuilt 1968 Torino GT 302 4v high compression performance engine featuring mild cam, 4v high-rise intake, Edelbrock carb, and headers; approximately 12K miles on rebuild
-Rebuilt 9" 3.50:1 Traction Lock rear end approximately 12K miles ago
-C4 automatic transmission and floor shifter
-Dual exhaust
-Power steering and power brakes
-Bench seat interior with black upholstery, door panels, and new carpet kit installed
-Chrome trim, stainless steel trim, and glass are all in good driver-quality condition
-New chrome Magnum 500 wheels with excellent Grand Am radial tires
-Power steering and power brakes with front discs
-GT hood
-Dual outside chrome racing mirrors
-Hideaway headlamp grill *(missing headlamp doors and mechanism; car ships with a nice standard grill as well)

The Ranchero runs very strong and drives out well.  While not perfect, it's reliable enough to get in and drive across the country.

The paint is what I'd call a 15-20 footer; looks good, shines well, but demonstrates some cracks, blemishes, and other age issues on close examination.  Still shines like mad in the sun and gets lots of attention!

The body is very straight overall, with only minor evidence of rust beginning to show in the rear wheel well area. 

I've priced the car fairly so someone can enjoy a cool, reliable, and good-looking classic without breaking the bank.  While every effort is being made to describe the car accurately, please keep in mind that it is a 42-year-old vehicle, and being sold as-is, without warranty expressed or implied.

Please feel free to call me with any specific questions you may have at 360-936-9257.

Shipping is the full responsibility of the buyer, however, I will make myself available to your shipper for pickup and loading.  Payment is to be made within 3 days of auction end by certified major bank cashier's check, bank wire transfer, or cash.  Zero-feedback bidders, please contact me prior to bidding to let me know you're a real buyer with good intentions.

2020 Ford Escape, Lincoln Corsair ace crash tests, earn Top Safety Pick from IIHS

Fri, Nov 15 2019

The redesigned 2020 Ford Escape and its platform-mate, the 2020 Lincoln Corsair, have both just completed their bout of crash tests at the hands of the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety, and while they did not emerge unscathed, they did come away with the agency's Top Safety Pick Award. One caveat: The rating only applies to the Escape equipped with the available LED headlights, which were deemed Acceptable. Similarly, the Corsair needs the available curve-adaptive LED headlights, also rated Acceptable, in order to achieve Top Safety Pick. The Escape's standard halogen headlights scored only a Marginal rating, while the Corsair's base LED headlights were deemed Poor due to glare. Those low headlight ratings knock the vehicles out of contention for Top Safety Pick. Had either vehicle offered headlights able to achieve a Good rating, that would have been enough to get them the agency's Top Safety Pick+ rating. Outside of their headlights, the 2020 Escape and Corsair acquitted themselves well. The Escape saw a big improvement in the difficult small-overlap front crash test, going from a Poor result in the previous generation to Good with the new one. The Corsair performed identically, and both achieved Good ratings in all six crash tests. The IIHS also tests automatic emergency-braking systems, and the standard and optional systems in the Escape and the Corsair both earned Superior ratings.
