1957 1958 Ranchero No Reserve!

1958 Ranchero with a 57 front end. New rocker and quarter panels welded in place. Patches welded into the floor pans. All the chrome was shaved off and the holes were welded. The brakes are drum with newer wheel cylinders, lines, and a 2 chamber master cylinder. Hand brake system is rebuilt and works great. Original arm strong steering. Rear air shocks. The paint is 3 years old with 3 layers of clear coat. The color is Inca Gold. Interior is all black. Everything on the dash works except the radio. The clock works too! The wheels are 60's classic Torque Thrust D Racing rims. I just found a matching 5th rim for the spare.The engine hood is louvered. The grill is custom tube with the blinkers recessed behind the grill. The box is solid and straight with a rubber bed mat in it. The tires are in excellent condition.

The engine is a 1966 390 bored out 40 over that was professionally rebuilt and installed May of 2013. New aluminum Edelbrock intake with a Holley 600 carb. The Alternator is 100 amp Billet aluminum. Custom made headers are double ceramic coated inside and out. The headers were made by Ford Power Associates in California . Brand new 2 inch dual exhaust with glass pak mufflers and chrome tips. The transmission is a CMX that came out of the same car and is also pro rebuilt with a heavy duty shift kit installed. There is less than 500 miles on engine and transmission.

This rides down the road smoothly with a lot of power. It sounds terrific when you push the pedal a little and really turns heads.

Experts wonder if aluminum F-150 gives Ford a real advantage

Mon, 17 Mar 2014

There's no doubt that Ford is taking a risk in producing the body of its upcoming new F-150 pickup truck in aluminum. What is up for debate, however, is whether aluminum was a wise risk to take in the first place. Wards Auto took the opportunity to poll some experts on the subject of aluminum versus steel in the automotive sector, with somewhat unsurprising results.
Richard Schultz, a project consultant at Ducker Worldwide, which bills itself as "a leading aluminum industry consultant (though they also deal in steels), suggests that the potential drawbacks to aluminum - higher costs, lower supply - aren't really impediments to the auto industry's increased acceptance of the lightweight metal.
Similarly, Randall Scheps, global automotive marketing director for Alcoa, a massive aluminum producer, counters claims that aluminum is less safe for vehicle occupants, suggesting that the use of aluminum can actually increase safety as it could potentially allow for larger vehicles with more crush space than steel.

Watch these Australian Ford and Holden muscle cars duke it out

Wed, 21 Aug 2013

Australia's Motoring has put together a little video on two of the great performance vehicles available down under - the Holden VF Commodore HSV GTS and the Ford Falcon FPV GT R-Spec. And while both FPV and the Falcon might be on their way out, there's still plenty of time for a little head-to-head comparison between the two.
The cars aren't all that well evenly matched, though. The Ford boasts a 5.0-liter, supercharged V8, which the Aussies measure out at 449 horsepower and 420 pound-feet of torque. The HSV, though, with its Corvette-derived, 6.2-liter, supercharged V8 is just too powerful - 576 hp and 545 lb-ft of torque.
Predictably, it doesn't end too well for the Ford. As the guys from Motoring point out, the new VF Commodore is just too new and too good, with its extra power and its adaptive dampers (GM's excellent MagnaRide). Interestingly, Motoring did point out that the Holden's electric steering is better than the Ford's hydraulic steering, which is a lot like a Porsche purist saying they prefer water-cooled engines to air cooled.
