For sale in our one-owner 1978 Ford Ranchero GT.  This vehicle has been in our family since new.  Originally a medium blue with silver GT graphics, it was unfortunatly repainted a dust tan about 12 years ago.

This is a ALL numbers matching vehicle.

It has never been in an accident and has spent it's entire life in the southern California desert. All service documentation in included since new.  The vehicle starts right up, drives well, stops well and is currently registered and occaisionally used for light hauling (it was used 12/8/13 to move a 7' sofa and two rocking chairs)

Recent repairs include:

New master Cylinder

Original Carb rebuilt

Mufflers (2) replaced

This car is a true survivor!

The air is the only item currently not functioning; One hose has a leak and it just isn't used enough to fix it.  It is the original R-12 system and is complete.

It has air shocks installed in the rear to allow hauling heavier items without sagging.

The interioor is in good shape, the cloth seats are original and not torn, the carpet is present and needs cleaning or replace, headlinner sags in one corner and should be replace, the dash has several cracls and should be replace or cover installed, door cards are good, manual windows both work well, all glass is in good condition with no cracks or de-lamination. 

All stainless trim is in-place and un-damaged, the bed is very straight, bumpers are very clean and straight, Original gas cap is missing.

The underside is straight with only light surface rust, floors are perfect and there is no known corrosion issues, no paint bubbles. (Yes, it is an ugly color)

I very much want to sell this car to someone that will clean her up to her prior condition. 

I can assist with shipping to the US or overseas. Port of shippment would be Long Beach CA.

Feel free to ask questions

Enterprise customer billed $47k for Mustang stolen from rental lot

Sun, 05 Jan 2014

A weekend rental of a Ford Mustang GT Convertible sounds like a nice, relaxing way to burn some gas, but one Nova Scotia woman's two-day rental is turning into a months-long headache. In early October, Kristen Cockerill picked up the Mustang from Enterprise Rent-A-Car, and she returned it the following day as stipulated by the rental contract. Unfortunately, she dropped the car off on a Sunday - a day on which the particular Enterprise office is closed - and the car ended up being stolen overnight.
Now, two months later, CBC reports that Cockerill received a bill from Enterprise for the full replacement of the car totaling $47,271 (a base 2014 Mustang GT Convertible currently costs $40,349 in Canada). As it turns out, the fine print in the contract says that the renter is responsible for cars dropped off after hours until it can be inspected the next business day - this is also reflected on the key drop seen in the news report video, which states "vehicles returned after hours are the responsibility of the renter until inspected on the next business day."
It's not clear how much, if any, of that amount Cockerhill will be responsible for once her insurance company gets involved, but if the insurance company refuses to pay, Enterprise will bill the amount to the credit card she provided during her rental. While this ordeal is far over for Cockerhill, it's a good reminder for the rest of us to always read the fine print.

Rolling footage of the 2015 Ford Mustang hits YouTube [w/video]

Thu, 26 Dec 2013

Just in time for the holidays: Ford took the 2015 Mustang to Route 66 to cook up rolling footage, and we've been given some of the leftovers ahead of the meal. There are no burnouts, no donuts, no revving, and thankfully, no music. It's just two minutes and 26 seconds of the new pony car running free in the desert.
So in case you needed more visualizing help, the video below will help you start imagining how you'll look in your 2014 Christmas present to yourself...

These horribly misguided front-drive design studies nearly became the Mustang

Fri, 08 Nov 2013

As we eagerly await the unveiling of the all-new sixth-generation Mustang, Ford has been giving us some great information over the past few months showing what has gone into shaping its venerable pony car. As many changes as the Mustang has gone through in its 50 years, though, it appears the fourth-gen model played a decisive and pivotal role in the car's future.
As is part of Mustang lore, the front-wheel drive Ford Probe was originally developed as a next-generation Mustang in the Eighties before cooler heads prevailed. The Blue Oval has just released a handful of images showing how bad things could have been - including a full-scale clay model of a front-wheel-drive Mustang (shown above). Fortunately, the FWD Mustang plan was scrapped and Ford went to work designing a rear-wheel-drive replacement for the Fox Body Mustang, with three design studies making it far enough to become full-scale models. These include the soft "Bruce Jenner" Mustang, the over-the-top "Rambo" Mustang and the middle-ground "Arnold Schwarzenegger" Mustang, which finally became the basis for the 1994 'Stang.
By early 1991, the design language of the fourth-generation Mustang had been worked out, and the rest, they say, is history. Scroll down for the fascinating press release telling the story of the fourth-gen Mustang, and be sure to check out the gallery of horribly misguided sketches and various design studies that were all on the table in the late 1980s.
