Attention Global Vintage Ford Collectors! Contact Clint for more info at 610-763-8277 For your consideration is this extremely rare 1972 Ford Ranchero GT. This car has quite a story. This is a ONE OWNER “Barn Find” out of North Carolina that still retains its original sheet metal, floors, engine, transmission, and rear!! Special ordered with a Mustang Mach 1 Drive train V8 351 Cleveland 4bbl with a Hurst 4 speed on the floor manual transmission, and a Ford 9” Posi Rear!! This is an unrestored survivor with original paperwork including original manual, Protect-o-plate, warranty identification card, Ford Clear envelope, and other dealer flyers and disclaimers. Even have the original auto insurance policy from American Family Insurance, Sheldon DeWitt, Agent, Longmont Colorado. Special ordered and purchased new from Stan Bennett Ford in Longmont, Colorado on July 27, 1972. Shortly after the purchase, the owner relocated to North Carolina where the car remained until just a few months ago. Since I have acquired the car, I have gone through to make roadworthy. New Edelbrock 650 Carburetor, Brake service, new Battery. I have been driving it locally, and it’s an absolute blast to drive. It is such a solid car that would be perfect and relatively easy to restore back to its former glory. Or, just drive it the way it is! The body is extremely solid. No shoddy patchwork, Bondo or body filler. All original sheet metal. If you wanted to paint the vehicle, it’s literally a sand and shoot. The paint has some chips and battle scars from over the years, but still shows well for a barn find driver!! It's not a show car by any means, but original patina is hard to find with something of this age. Please note there is some bubbling occurring under the vinyl top. As you can see from the pictures, the undercarriage is very solid as well. All original floors. No holes, soft spots, or major rust. The light factory undercoat definitely preserved this vehicle. Mechanically, the engine fires right up every single time. It has a nice purr like a 351 Cleveland should. Free from ticks or tapping. Does not smoke at idle or under acceleration. The transmission shifts as it should through all 4 gears. No grinding or chattering from the gears or clutch. The ride and handling is quite surprising! It’s very tight and drives straight down the road. No shimmy's, shakes, rattles, vibrations, or drifting. Factory power steering and power disc brakes add to the drivability factor with this Ford. All of the lights, turn signals, dash lights, and gauges are in working order, and appear to be accurate! Factory Tachometer, Speedometer, temp, volt, pressure gauges function. Even the seat belt indicator still buzzes! Radio and speakers work as well. Whether you are a rare Ford car collector or aficionado, collect original patina vehicles, are looking for a muscle car to finish off and restore to your taste, or just looking for a driver to take to car shows and win trophies for its rarity and originality, then take a serious look at this Ranchero!

I urge everyone to take a look at my feedback. Bid with confidence! It was 100% until a few weeks ago, when a malicious ebayer left me negative feedback over a $45.00 die cast model car! Apparently, a windshield wiper was damaged in shipping overseas. I attempted to rectify the situation, but the buyer would not respond or contact me at all, and left me negative feedback!

Ford recalling 205k Edge and Lincoln MKX units for possible corrosion
Thu, 30 Oct 2014After the horrible weather last winter, it's hard to look forward for the season to return this year. For those readers in much of the country, the snow is going to be flying soon, and with it comes salt on the roads. That means Ford's regional recall for the 2007-2008 Edge and Lincoln MKX arrives at the perfect time because they are at risk for corrosion.
The campaign covers 204,448 examples of the models in 21 states, plus the District of Columbia and some provinces of Canada. In total there are 186,024 vehicles in need of repair in the US and 18,424 in Canada.
According to Ford, it's possible for the area, "under the reinforcement brackets where the fuel tank is mounted" to corrode. If this happens, there might be a gas smell in the vehicle or even a fuel leak could develop. In fact, the automaker reports that one fire could be related to the problem but no injuries or accidents are reported.
Ken Block hoons his Ford F-150 RaptorTrax on the slopes
Wed, 08 Oct 2014Ken Block drives Fords. Hoons the heck out of 'em, actually. Mostly Fiestas, but also the occasional Focus or Mustang. But earlier this year, the Gymkhana guru revealed his baddest Ford yet: an F-150 SVT Raptor on tracks. And true to form, here he is putting it to the test in the latest video from Monster Energy and Hoonigan Racing.
Filmed at Baldface Lodge in Nelson, BC, the video pairs Block up with snowboarders Zak Hale and Ethan Deiss for some deep-powder action. You'll want to watch the video for yourself, but the bottom line is that the RaptorTrax beats the heck out of waiting on line for the ski lift. It's enough to make us start to look forward to winter... almost.
Automotive Grade Linux will be the backbone of your connected car
Fri, Jan 6 2017Creating a backend for a secure, reliable, and expandable infotainment system is costly and time consuming. The Linux Foundation, a non-profit organization, has set out to promote and advance the Linux operating system in commercial products. Automotive Grade Linux, or AGL, is a group within the Foundation that seeks to apply a Linux backend to a number of automotive applications in a variety of vehicles from various suppliers and manufacturers. AGL's goal is to create a common, unifying framework that allows developers and manufacturers to easily implement applications across platforms. Currently, the focus is on infotainment systems, but AGL has plans for instrument clusters, heads-up displays, and eventually active safety software. At CES, a display from Panasonic showed a completely digital and customizable dashboard that allows information and apps to be moved from the gauge cluster to the infotainment screen and back, all through the use of gesture and touch controls. Although the organization has been around for five years, it's really only been in the past three that the group has been working hand in hand with automakers and suppliers. The first two OEMs to participate, Toyota and Jaguar Land Rover, have since been joined by Mazda, Suzuki, Ford, and, as of this week, Daimler. The latter is important as until now most of AGL's partner's have been based in Japan or the US. Other partners include suppliers Denso, Renesas, Continental, Qualcomm, and Intel. AGL want's to supply roughly 80 percent of the backend, allowing partners to then finish and refine the Linux system for each individual application. Think of how the Android operating system is refined and customized for individual smartphones from Samsung, LG, and Motorola. While the final product looks different, developers can have an application that will work across all AGL systems. Because it is open source, anyone can use and develop for AGL. You can even go onto the group's website and download a copy right now. There is also a software development kit available that helps facilitate app creation on the platform. Vehicle development cycles take roughly five years, so there currently are no cars that run an AGL backbone available for consumers. AGL Executive Director Dan Cauchy says products should be hitting the market later this year, with even more coming in 2018. Right now, the industry is relatively fragmented when it comes to infotainment and related systems.
