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.

Spy shooter claims proof of upcoming aluminum Ford F-Series Super Duty

Thu, 26 Jun 2014

Ford has already confirmed that the 2015 F-150 (pictured above) was just the beginning for its more extensive use of aluminum. CEO Alan Mulally said it himself during the 2014 Detroit Auto Show. We've even already seen the future Raptor testing with an aluminum body. But a recent discovery from an intrepid spy photographer might indicate that the lightweight metal is coming to the Blue Oval's Super Duty pickups in their upcoming generation, as well.
According to Automotive News, a spy shooter in Colorado spotted a prototype for the next-gen F-350 testing. He happened to have a magnet on hand and got close enough to check the truck out. When he held it up to the metal in the bed, it didn't stick, which signaled to him a switch from steel to aluminum.
Obviously, this claim raises some questions. Given that it was a test vehicle, one possibility is that the Blue Oval is just evaluating the feasibility of switching to aluminum for the Super Duty trucks, not necessarily committed to it yet. Ford has been testing it quite exhaustively, after all. In fact, much of the rest of the truck in question was covered in camouflage, so it's possible that the magnet failed to work along the rest of the body not because it was aluminum, but because it wasn't powerful enough to get through the disguising material. Thus, the lightweight metal's use could be far less substantial than on the new F-150. Still, it was a clever idea for the cameraman to check things out and might have given us the first hint about brand's next heavy-duty models.

NHTSA closes Ford F-Series Super Duty steering probe without recall

Wed, 05 Feb 2014

The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration's investigation into 2008 Ford F-250 and F-350 Super Duty pickups, which was originally opened last year, has now ended without a recall. NHTSA was looking into steering failures on some 336,000 trucks.
The issue rested with the steering gear - NHTSA received five complaints of failures - which was redesigned in 2005. According to the report on the matter, investigators "found evidence of broken sector shaft gear teeth and piston damage consistent with incidents of single event overload."
NHTSA investigators, however, "found no evidence of fatigue or material property defects in any of the fractures. Analysis of complaint rates by vehicle build month showed no patterns indicating potential manufacturing quality issues and no difference before and after Ford introduced design changes to the input shaft and sector shaft seals in July 2007 to address potential leak concerns," according to the report, obtained by The Detroit News.

European jury picks finalists for 2015 Car of the Year

Tue, Dec 16 2014

There are countless Car of the Year awards handed out each year, and naturally, Europe has its own way of doing things. Every year, a panel of jurists representing seven publications in seven different languages and seven different countries get together to name their joint Car of the Year. The panel released a list of 32 candidates back in July, and it has now whittled that list down to seven nominees. The list consists of the BMW 2 Series Active Tourer, the Citroen C4 Cactus (shown), the Ford Mondeo, the Mercedes-Benz C-Class, the Nissan Qashqai, the Renault Twingo and the Volkswagen Passat. Of those seven, only two are available in the US – those being the Mondeo (sold Stateside as the Fusion) and the C-Class. The Passat is an entirely different model in North America, the Qashqai isn't offered here, Citroen and Renault don't even participate in our market and the BMW 2 Series is represented here only by the completely different coupe and convertible. Expect the one and only recipient of the 2015 Car of the Year award to be announced at the Geneva Motor Show this coming March, and while you're waiting, you can place your guesses for the eventual winner in Comments.
