1978 Fairmont home built Ranchero,I have owned this for about three years, I got it from a friend who bought it in 1995.He had replaced the engine with a 5.0 that only had 20k miles .The car had 72k miles when it was put in,it now has 92k miles on the car, so the engine has around 40k miles.It has an edlebrock intake,edlebrock carb,and dual exaust with a C-4 trans and a 2.79 rear gear. It cruises good on the freeway and gets pretty good fuel milage.The car has nice driver quality paint and the interior is in good original condition.I have replaced the fuel pump,brakes, front disc and rear drums,and 4 new tires.The paint is less than a year old,I repainted it because the clear coat was fading in several spots,there was not any rust repair.Overall this is a good dependable daily driver that is different. The air still works,and it has a new Va. inspection.This car needs a few small cosmetic things to be nicer,the rubber at the edge of the door where the windows roll up needs replaced.It needs to be cleaned and detailed under the hood,and the back window needs to have the tint replaced,also it would not hurt to have a better stereo,it still has a cassette player.
I would like this car to be picked up in person so you can see what you are getting,if you do not like the car at that time you will not have to take it.I would not hesitate to drive this car a long distance home. I drove it on a 300 mile trip a few weeks ago.If you have any questions you may call Darrell at 276-628-6540 (H) 276-608-4193(C)276-628-8257 OFFICE.

2015 Ford F-150 pricing announced, aluminum-bodied truck up just $395
Mon, 28 Jul 2014The eagerly anticipated Ford F-150 has had its 2015 pricing announced, adding only a small amount to the pickup's total cost, despite its weight-saving aluminum body. The XL and XLT entry level models only see a $395 boost over the heavier, current-generation, 2014 truck.
The XL starts at $26,615 while the XLT rings up at $31,890. The increase for Lariat is up a similarly negligible $895, to $39,880. Going up the ladder, meanwhile, the leather-intensive King Ranch sees the biggest jump of the F-150 family, with prices increasing $3,515, to $49,460. Finally, picking up the top-end Platinum trim will cost an extra $3,055, with prices starting at $52,155.
The higher prices are being blamed not only on the aluminum bodies, which trim up to 700 pounds of body fat, but on increased levels of standard equipment. While we were expecting a price hike, the fact that the 2015 F-150's volume trims - Ford spokesman Mike Levine told Reuters that the XL and XLT alone cover 70 percent of F-150 sales - have had less than a $400 increase is hugely impressive.
V6 engines will outpace V8s for the 2015 Ford F-150
Wed, 23 Jul 2014How times have changed. Even five years ago, who would have thought the mighty V8 would be just another engine choice for buyers of the 2015 Ford F-150?
Ford is projecting about 28 percent of the next-generation trucks will have the 5.0-liter V8. That's nothing to sneeze at, but consider this: Ford figures its two EcoBoost truck engines - the new 2.7-liter V6 and the existing 3.5-liter V6 - will also each account for about 28 percent of the F-150's sales (56 percent total). That leaves only 15 percent of the pie for the 3.5-liter (non-EcoBoost) V6. The new F-150 goes on sale late this year.

2015 Ford F-150 enters production
Wed, 12 Nov 2014Ford has given the F-150 a dramatic makeover for 2015, switching to an aluminum body that helps reduce weight by about 700 pounds. Because the truck is dramatically different, Ford also had to change the way it makes the F-150, so we went inside its sprawling factory in Dearborn, MI, this week to see the Blue Oval's new manufacturing techniques in action.
The company has added 850 jobs at the site and upgraded its stamping and tool and die facilities. The body shop is also modernized, and it has been fitted with 500 new robots that join the structures together. The first 2015 F-150 rolled off the line on Tuesday, and the trucks will begin arriving in dealerships in December. Get a closer look at the F-150's unique assembly process in our video.
