1978 Ford Ranchero with a V8 motor we think is a 351 Cleveland.  You can look at the photo of the motor. We have a clean title in our possession.  This car has been sitting for the last several years in a guy's yard here in Las Vegas. We got the motor to start and run and the car to move.  We cannot guarantee it in any way shape or form. The odometer listed is the five digits showing on the speedometer.  We do not know what the actual milage of the car is since its only five digits.  We suspect any one who bought this would want to go through it as part of the restoration process.  The glass seems fairly intact except the windshield does have a crack in it. -see the photo- The rear window looks like it was "gunked in" with some sort of glue.-see the photo- When we got the car it had a bunch of junk in the bed.  After we cleaned it out, it left a lot of surface rust, but there are no cancer holes we can spot.  In fact most of the sheet metal seems to be pretty straight and cancer free.  We tried to take photos of the side to show what we believe is good shape. Nose seems to be complete and pretty good condition.  Most of the chrome looks ok also. Rear Bumper has been whacked and is dented. We took a photo of the undercarriage to show the condition the frame and undercarriage is in.  The frame looks straight and not eaten with rust. The car came with factory air but the compressor is missing. The headliner is dried out and sagging where the stiches are. Dash is dried and cracked. Seats are dry rotted from sitting in the sun, carpet also.  We will be happy to show the car to anyone who is in Las Vegas from 8-5 Mon-Fri.  It is in our yard at 2810 N Nellis Blvd.  Please call 702-354-6723 to make other arrangements to see the car. Car is sold as is where is.  Shipping is the buyer's responsibility.  We will help load this car onto a transport truck.

Ford taken to task by gov't for Chicken Tax end-around

Mon, 23 Sep 2013

Ford is in a bit of a pickle for importing and selling Turkey-built Transit Connect cargo vans as passenger vehicles in the US, then converting them to commercial-vehicle specification stateside in an effort to bypass a 25-percent tax imposed on vehicles imported for commercial use. Automakers are required to pay a 2.5-percent tax on imported passenger vehicles.
The Blue Oval got into trouble for this in a January ruling in which U.S. Customs and Border Protection officials asked Ford to stop the practice of importing the Transit Connect vehicles with passenger seats, then removing and shredding them. Now Automotive News reports that Ford is appealing the ruling. The 25-percent "Chicken Tax," as the tariff is often called, is 50 years old and was enacted as a response to a German tariff on chickens. Like Ford, Chrysler bypasses the higher tariff, but it does so in a different manner. It partially disassembles Sprinter cargo vans before shipping them to the US, then rebuilds them at a plant in South Carolina.
But the ruling against Ford's strategy states that it "serves no manufacturing or commercial purpose" and is there to "manipulate the tariff schedule," Automotive News reports. As Ford's appeal goes through, it is importing the Transit Connect and paying the higher tax, hoping for a favorable outcome and planning to build the next-generation Transit Connect, which it plans to launch before the end of the year, in Spain.

The 2015 Ford Mustang is not so mellow in yellow

Tue, 14 Jan 2014

When we first saw the 2015 Ford Mustang, much was made of its new, more expressive color palette, which includes the return of both yellow and orange in addition to a new grayish shade, Guard. At that time, we didn't have anything to look at but a few small scale models painted in the new colors - the only Mustangs on display were in Race Red.
For its auto show debut here at in the Motor City, Ford has trotted out a couple of as-yet-unseen shades, including the striking Triple Yellow shown above. The new shade marks a return to a paint color that enthusiasts have been clamoring for, and we must say, it looks excellent under the lights of Cobo Hall.
Stat wise, there are still a number of questions we have about the redesigned Mustang. None of the three engines have had official power figures published. The same goes for pricing information, although if any loose-lipped execs let something slip in Detroit, we'll be sure to let you know. Until then, have a look at the new Triple Yellow Mustang on display at the 2014 Detroit Auto Show.
