For Sale is a 1957 Ford Ranchero. I've owned this Ranchero for about 4 years now. I bought locally in Chico, Ca. from a friend who had it for many years in covered storage. When purchased, it took only clean gas, and a battery to get moving. It ran great, shifted great and was unbelievably reliable car for one sitting so long. The brakes worked, all gauges, turn signals, lights etc. The tires all held air but are very old.

After I purchased the car, I then bought a nearly new rebuilt 312 V-8 and a A/T . I also purchased a power steering set up and front suspension for the V-8. My plan was to make this Ranchero into a power steering V-8 car.

The body is rock solid, it has a fairly new fuel tank and fuel lines. There are small areas that are in need of minor repair but for a 57year old Ranchero, it is very sweet.

The Ranchero comes with everything I have purchased for the car which includes:

312 V-8, A/T, fuel tank, dash, trim, glass. tail gate and much more. The original 223 straight 6 is still in the car but disconnected. The Ranchero will roll and brake. I can help load it on a trailer.

This truck when done is one of the more desirable early Fords out there. I have not nor does it appear that I will have time to complete this project and am hoping someone else sees the potential I do.

Please email with any questions. I can store the truck for a reasonable amount of time and will assist with transport all I can.

She comes with a clean and clear Calif. title

Please Note: This Ranchero is a 1959 Not 1957. Sorry for the confusion

Do you guys like trucks?

Wed, Jan 17 2018

Do you guys like trucks? If the answer is yes, boy do we have the show for you! The 2018 North American International Auto Show is lousy with 'em. Yeah, we saw the new Ram 1500, Chevy Silverado and Ford Ranger, but that's just scratching the surface. There are big trucks, little trucks, clean trucks, dirty trucks, old trucks, new trucks, red trucks, blue trucks. It's like a Dr. Seuss book. Anyway, we made a little video for you truck nuts (see what I did there?). Check it out above, and if you're looking for more serious coverage of the Detroit Auto Show, we've got it, along with a ton of images and other videos from the show floor. Enjoy!

Watch how Ken Block spent his weekend in Barbados

Thu, 22 May 2014

Regardless of what you think of his skill as a racer, Ken Block is an expert showman. At this point, he has a career of showing up around the world to do vehicular stunts, and he's still able to go racing as well. It's a pretty sweet niche to carve out. Recently, Block was in Barbados to participate in Top Gear Live and the first event of the Global Rallycross Championship season, and Ford Racing produced a short video to show off his exploits.
It looked like a great show. Block got to race Lewis Hamilton in a Mercedes-Benz Formula One car and had a very weird crash during a Rallycross race that put his Ford Fiesta on its roof. Top Gear also released an extended look at Block and Hamilton's spectacle with the two of them expertly sliding around. Scroll down to watch the videos and get a taste of Block's tropical racing adventure.

Ford files patent for 11-speed transmission

Sat, Apr 11 2015

The automatic transmission seemed limited to three or four gears for decades, and then the automotive world slowly started to see more ratios becoming available. Today, seven-, eight- or nine-speed gearboxes have become rather common. Ford even has an automatic with 10 gears on the way for the future F-150 Raptor. The Blue Oval might not be done yet, though, because the company also now has a patent on an 11-speed box. The filing, which was discovered by AutoGuide, says this idea "produces eleven forward speed ratios and one reverse speed ratio by selective engagement of three shift elements in various combinations," and the company outlines three different ways of making this possible. The advantage of adding one more ratio is that the gearbox should be able to keep the revs in the ideal portion of the engine's torque curve even longer. Obviously, automakers patent ideas constantly, and applying for one is no guarantee that the tech ever arrives on the market. Conversely, these documents provide a tiny glimpse at one of the brand's focuses of development. If you're mechanically minded or just curious, you can read the entire application here for the technical nitty-gritty.
