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!

GM takes 2020 full-size pickup sales crown
Thu, Jan 7 2021It's no secret that 2020 was an unconventional year for auto sales. Extenuating circumstances or not, it was a year of upheaval even for ever-resilient (and ever-profitable) pickups, with General Motors taking the crown from Ford in the full-size segment. The Ford F-Series still outsold every other full-size pickup nameplate in the country by a significant margin. It's only when you combine GM's Chevrolet Silverado and GMC Sierra variants that you get a number that exceeds Ford's. This isn't really a new phenomenon, either. In fact, it was only somewhat recently that Ford took the overall full-size crown away from GM, and not only did Ford widen the gap in recent years, but Ram has once again become a legitimate challenger, even managing to outsell the Silverado by a healthy margin in 2019, but never coming close to the F-Series in terms of total volume. But, 2020 being 2020, things got weird yet again. Ram remains relevant, of course, but Ford got caught with its pants down thanks to the one-two punch of COVID and the generational changeover of the core F-150 model, which resulted in a production interruption as the company's assembly facilities transitioned from building the old 2020 model to the new-for-2021. This perfect storm, as it turns out, was sufficient for GM to walk away with the full-size crown. See for yourself: Full-size 2020 pickup sales: GM total: 847,110 F-Series: 787,422 Silverado: 594,094 Ram: 563,676 Sierra: 253,016 Tundra: 109,203 Titan: 26,439 As you can see, Ram slipped back behind Silverado, slotting comfortably into third place. The Silverado 1500 had a flat year, but the heavy- and medium-duty variants bucked the trend and contributed to a slight uptick in sales for the nameplate, while F-Series tumbled more than 12% (nearly 110,000 units), opening the door for GM to steam ahead. There were similarly significant shakeups in the midsize truck segment. First, 2020 was the first full year of retail sales for the Gladiator pickup, which surged to fourth place behind the stalwart Tacoma, Ranger and Colorado. GM's combined sales of the Colorado and Canyon are good enough for second place by manufacturer, but nowhere close to what it would take to dethrone Toyota.
Top Gear pits Hennessey VelociRaptor vs. Range Rover Sport SVR
Fri, Jun 5 2015As a television series, Top Gear is in limbo with an intent to return, but no hosts yet. However, it's magazine and website continue to bring us clips like this one. While the video might lack the show's charismatic hosts, this is an opportunity to see a drag race between a Land Rover Range Rover Sport SVR with 550 horsepower and a Hennessey VelociRaptor with 623 hp. The duel between these two supercharged V8s definitely sounds great. Both rugged models start at the line growling angrily at each other like dogs ready for a fight. You have to watch the clip to see whether the more powerful VelociRaptor feeds on the SVR, though.

Here's why automakers roll out those Texas-themed pickup trucks
Thu, Sep 29 2016Every year, automakers with a full-size truck link make a big show of the Texas State Fair, usually involving a reveal of a new model. Sometimes they show a whole new truck, and other times a special edition centered on the Lone Star state. While some people might write this off as a quirk of the industry, others might be wondering, "What's the big deal with Texas?" As it turns out, part of the big deal with Texas is big truck sales. According to Dave Sullivan, product analysis manager at AutoPacific, Texas buys more trucks than any other state in the country. It's not a small margin either. Edmunds.com, one in five trucks sold in the US are sold in Texas. The state also accounts for 15 percent of the country's large truck sales, which is more than twice that of California, the second largest truck market in America. Even when you break down sales only in Texas, trucks are a huge piece of the pie - Sullivan says that a quarter of new vehicle sales in Texas are trucks. One in five trucks sold in the US are sold in Texas. But it's not just sales that make truck builders give attention to Texas. As Sullivan explained, "Pickups are life in Texas." Both he and Hugh Milne, marketing and advertising manager for the Chevy Silverado line, said that trucks are key fixtures in Texas society, as both work trucks and luxury vehicles (or Texas Cadillacs as Milne called them). Milne said Texas is so important in the truck market that if you want to be successful in the rest of the country, "you've got to be successful in Texas." As for the State Fair, it has become a prime location for reveals in part because of the importance of the Texas market and because of how big the fair is. Milne also revealed that the State Fair also hosts its own auto show, so it's an ideal venue for a vehicle introduction. So there you have it. Why do truck builders obsess over Texas? It's because Texas obsesses over trucks. When you have one market that loves your product that much, you give it the attention it deserves.
