I have for sale a Rare 1971 Ford Ranchero "Squire" with the wood grain decals along the bottom on the rockers and on the gate, not like the traditional Squire has across the sides of the car.

This car came from Northern California and remains in the same town that it has been in since New. I am the third owner of the car. An elderly man bought the car new locally and when he couldn't drive any longer he sold it to one of his neighbors that did some work on it like put a new t5 Mustang 5 speed transmission and new clutch, he then died and his wife sold it. Transmission works great and has no issues.

The engine is a numbers matching 302 ci small block V8 that was an original 2bbl and I have now up graded it to a Edelbrock intake and Carb. along with aluminum Edelbrock valave covers. I have also recently replaced the points and condensor. runs good.

The car has stock exhaust and is very quite.

The body is very straight and has only surface rust, as the second owner decided to strip part of the paint with paint stripper and then passed away before he do much more with it, I would have done something with it but I think it has great Patina. The only rust through was in the rear floor area that has all been cut out and welded in with the correct gauge sheet metal. No other Rot is apparent.

The rolling stock consists of a set of Mustang 17" Bullet wheels with decent tires. Along with wheel spacers and longer studs to accomodate the wheel spacers.

The interior has a new black carpet kit and leather bucket seats the driver is power but I have yet to hook it up permanently but works fine. Has original seat belts. The dash had cracks so it has a cover on it.

On the back there is a rare piece for this car and that's the camper shell or topper, I have the side windows for it but no rear hatch. it is in fine shape otherwise.

The car holds a clean California title and is registered with its original blue and yellow plates till Oct 2014.

I have all of the original parts for this gem like the original seat, carb/intake set up and air cleaner I do not have the original transmission.

Buyer is responsible for local pick up and/ or setting up shipping arrangements. I expect a $1000.00 non refundable deposit within 24hrs of close of Auction.

This is your chance to buy a solid California Ranchero that they only made this style two years. Good Luck.

2016 Ford Focus RS leaked ahead of official debut

Tue, Feb 3 2015

We won't officially see the new Ford Focus RS until the Blue Oval shows it to the world at an event on Tuesday, but here it is ahead of time, courtesy of the folks at Evo. As you can see, this is one hot little hatch, and if Evo's story is to be believed, those aggressive looks will be backed up with some pretty serious performance. Power is said to come from Ford's 2.3-liter EcoBoost inline four-cylinder engine, though the magazine's estimate of 250 horsepower seems awfully conservative to us (considering that's less than the current Focus ST). If earlier reports are to be believed, we think the RS will come packing more like 300 hp, if not more. For the first time, the Focus RS will use all-wheel drive with brake-operated torque-vectoring, and Evo says that up to 70 percent of the engine's power can be sent to the rear wheels. Hitting 60 miles per hour will reportedly take less than five seconds. Otherwise, it's business as usual, with a mean-looking exterior complete with the necessary aero bits (notice that wing!), and inside, we can see a beefy set of Recaro chairs. That's really all we know for now, but stay tuned for more when the Focus RS makes its official debut in the not-too-distant future. Related Video:

Seinfeld's Porsches, '61 Ferrari lead the way at Gooding Amelia Island sale

Tue, Mar 1 2016

If you're in the market for a sports car with celebrity provenance or just an incredibly well-preserved high-performance machine, then you'll want to check out Gooding & Company's Amelia Island auction in Florida on March 11. The highlight of the sale is likely 18 cars, mostly Porsches, from Jerry Seinfeld's collection, but there's more to see than just the comedian's sporting metal. While several of Seinfeld's cars carry auction estimates in the millions, they aren't the most valuable at the sale. That honor falls on a 1961 Ferrari 250 GT SWB California Spider, which could sell for between $15 million and $17 million. This one is among the 37 examples with covered headlights, and it has some theatrical provenance after appearing in the Sophia Loren film Yesterday, Today, Tomorrow. If your tastes skew more American, then one of 31 Ford GT40 MKI road cars is also among the lots. Gooding expects the rare coupe to sell for between $3.2 million and $3.6 million. Ford originally used this GT40 for dealer promotions, but it eventually fell into private hands. Even today, its multiple owners have only covered around 3,200 miles in it. Gooding also expects a 1931 Duesenberg Model J Disappearing-Top Convertible Coupe with a body by Murphy to bring $2.5 million to $3 million. The auction house claims this might be the "most original" example left because of a history of owners who kept it for long periods – and the vehicle never needed a complete restoration. Some lots carry more attainable estimates like $35,000 for a 1962 MGA. You can check out all the listings on Gooding's online catalog and some of the highlights in the gallery above. You've probably read the news about Seinfeld's Porsches, but here's a refresher: The collection includes amazing cars like a 550 Spyder, 917/30 Can-Am Spyder, and a 718 RSK. Related Video:

1969 Ford Talladega GPT Special is a SEMA showstopper

Thu, 07 Nov 2013

Rad Rides by Troy has unleashed upon the SEMA crowds this custom 1969 Ford Torino Talladega GT Special, and it's a beauty. The car calls to mind the classic Holman Moody stock cars that circled NASCAR tracks in the late 1960's, driven by the likes of Mario Andretti, Dan Gurney and David Pearson, who won the Grand National title in both 1968 and '69 in a Ford Torino.
Even though it has plenty of stock-car influence, there's nothing retro about the car's design or powertrain, other than the fact that the engine is based on a Ford Boss 429 block. Fuel injection, aftermarket aluminum heads and a high-tech custom computer system combine to send 750 reliable ponies to the rear wheels through a Tremec five-speed manual transmission. Brakes measure 14-inches all around, with six-piston Wilwood calipers up front and four-piston units out back.
There's custom bodywork abound, painted in a two-tone Tennessee Whiskey Gold and Daytona Sand finish. Check out all the amazing details in the image gallery below, and scroll down to read all about it in designer Troy Trepanier's own words.
