This is a beautiful 1972 Ford Ranchero with the big block 429. Matching numbers vehicle! Only two owners. Rust free Nevada car. 125,000 original miles
The custom teal paint job cost $6000 at the time. There are some blemishes now, and some bondo that is cracking in the driver's door. It is not a show car, but looks great. It turns heads and people give you the thumbs up when you drive by. The upholstery is also custom and is color-keyed to match the paint. The dash has been dialed in with the paint as well, as is shown in the pictures. The Ranchero is complemented with a great set of custom wheels, and a tonneau cover that tops the bed that is in great shape. There is a fantastic sound system! It has an Alpine CD changer with a Hifonics 200 watt amp. There are four kicker eight inch sub woofers and two Boston Pro Series mid range speakers with tweeters. The woofers are cleverly stashed behind the seats with vinyl covers.
The meticulous owner kept all of the stock parts if someone wanted to take it back to bone stock. The original wheels with BFG's are also included. We also have the stock valve covers and air cleaner.
The Ranchero was stored inside for the past fifteen years. The Ranchero has been detailed. We installed new spark plug wires, new battery, changed the oil and all filters. rebuilt the Edlebrock 750 carb. We have run a tank of premium fuel through it, and had a blast watching the peoples' heads turn as we drove by. The engine was rebuilt 3000 miles ago. This is one fine car that is worth taking a look at. It is eligible for Hot August Nights in Reno. It is a great cruiser. It is low, but not slow.
The Ranchero is currently in Reno. We will help with the shipping, or can deliver a reasonable distance for a reasonable price.

Watch this awesome R/C car chase scene made with cardboard and glue
Fri, 22 Feb 2013It never ceases to amaze us how much video production talent you can find on YouTube, especially when considering movies like Battleship actually exist on the silver screen. It's even better, of course, when cars are involved, which is why we can't stop watching this car chase between a pair of radio controlled Ford Mustangs.
Racing through a detailed set built in the middle of a public street using just "cardboard, hot glue and spray paint," this video is possibly even greater than The Greatest R/C Car Chase Ever that we saw last year. With the exception of a fruit stand and/or a plate-glass window being carried across the street, this has all the makings of a classic cliché chase scene.
Scroll down to watch the scaled-down action ensue as well as the full-scale conclusion.
Ford EcoBoost V6 hits the dyno before hitting the track
Wed, 02 Oct 2013Ford Racing just unveiled the Riley Daytona Prototype that will make its racing in the United SportsCar Racing Championship Rolex 24 at Daytona in January, and now it has released a video showing development of twin-turbo 3.5-liter EcoBoost V6 that powers the car. Using the same block and heads that can be found on a production Ford Taurus SHO, this new racecar benefits from the collaboration between Ford Racing and Ford powertrain engineers.
While we still don't know what kind of power this engine is putting out, it has definitely gotten a workout at Ford's 17G dyno. This area deep within Ford allows the automaker's racing program to work hand-in-hand with production engine programs, which can be a benefit to racing operations and production cars alike. Scroll down to hear a few people from Ford talk about the crosspollination between its racing and engine teams and watch the EcoBoost get red hot on the dyno.
NHTSA and Ford investigating steering issues in Crown Vic, Grand Marquis and Marauder
Fri, 11 Jul 2014There may be more steering woes for the Ford Crown Victoria. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration has opened a preliminary evaluation into the Crown Vic and Mercury Grand Marquis from the 2004 to 2007 model years and the Mercury Marauder for the 2004 and 2005 model years because the steering shaft can jam. The issue could potentially affect an estimated 500,000 vehicles.
According to the regulator, there is a possibility that the driver's side heat shield for the exhaust manifold can rust, dislodge, and then wedge into the steering shaft. If this occurs, it leads to a situation where the driver can no longer control the car.
NHTSA has received five complaints of this happening, including one alleged case with an injury. In that situation, the car was driving onto the highway, lost control and rolled over. One occupant was hurt in the accident.
