Custom 1973 Ford Ranchero Cleveland 351 Automatic on 2040-cars
Providence, Rhode Island, United States
|
Hello, I am the third owner of this 1973 Ford Ranchero 500. I hate to see it go, but I've got to move across the country, and I can't take her with me. The Good: It's got a 351 cleveland motor in it, which runs well. (was rebuilt in '94 about 40,000 miles put on the odometer since then). Automatic transmission. It's currently my daily driver. Its previous life was as a weekend motorcycle carrier and cruiser. I recently replaced the headers, and had a major tune up including plugs, wires, fluids, carb work etc. I've replaced some steering components, tightened up the steering, and replaced rubber fuel lines with hard lines. Also, lots of custom metal work. In the pictures, you can see the Aluminum diamond plate outfitted in the truck bed, and on the lower body panels. In addition, this car is well-documented. I've got receipts and work descriptions going back years. The Bad: The car does have rust, and will need sheet metal work on the floors. It will also need mufflers (though it does sound mean, which i like). There is also some damage to the headlight housing and front bumper from an accident sustained before I bought it. I do have replacement headlight housings, bulbs, and bezels, and I also have the missing bumper guard. The air conditioner is currently not working, and the car speakers will need attention. All in all, it's been a reliable driver with some character, and it has not let me down. I hope it will be a good project for the right person. This car must be sold and picked up before August 13th, as I am moving across the country after then. |

Ford recalling select Taurus, Explorer and Lincoln MKS models over fuel tanks
Sun, 31 Mar 2013Ford is recalling certain 2012 Taurus, 2013 Explorer and 2012 Lincoln MKS models over fuel tank concerns. According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, vehicles built between July 19, 2011 and March 15, 2012 may have been built with fuel tanks that have a "marginally sealed seam" on the side. Those seams may not provide the strength necessary to protect the tank from rupture during a collision. They may also leak. The recall covers a total of 3,037 vehicles. NHTSA says that leaked fuel, in the presence of an ignition source, could easily cause a fire.
Dealers will inspect the tanks and replace them as need be free of charge. Owners can expect to be notified once the campaign begins on or around April 22, 2013. You can read the full NHTSA recall notice below for more information.
Europe's most-wanted classic car is... the Ford Mustang?
Sat, 28 Sep 2013Over the span of its 49 years and five generations, the Ford Mustang has held a special place in the hearts of automotive enthusiasts in the US, but, as it turns out, this car is also very popular amongst European car lovers. Earlier this summer, AutoScout24 - a new and used car shopping site in Europe - polled around 75,000 European "car lovers" (not sure how they vetted the respondents) to see which cars were the most popular, and the Mustang came out on top over iconic European classics like the BMW M1 and Volkswagen Beetle.
In the whole of Europe, 37 percent of those polled dream of owning a Mustang, but that number jumps in individual countries like Austria (42 percent) and Spain (41 percent). Rounding out the top five popular classics in Europe are the Mini and Citroën 2CV. Find out which cars made up the rest of the top 10 in the press release posted below.
Ford and 'Dirty Jobs' pitchman Mike Rowe part ways [w/videos]
Thu, 20 Feb 2014Former Dirty Jobs host Mike Rowe has one less job as of today - the pitchman is no longer a pitchman for Ford, with yesterday's announcement from Rowe ending a seven-year partnership between the TV host and the Blue Oval.
Rowe made the announcement to political pundit Glenn Beck, saying the two are "going in different directions" and wishing Ford "every possibly success that any car company could ever have," according to The Detroit News. Rowe and Ford got together in 2005, right around the time the 51-year-old came to prominence as the host of Dirty Jobs and the narrator for Deadliest Catch, two of the Discovery Channel's most popular shows.
Take a look below for a few video snippets of Rowe's tenure at Ford.
