Link to video for phone users: https://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_detailpage&v=l-FYx5j7mQk Here is a rare 1970 Ranchero GT with a factory N code 429. One of 296 N code Ranchero GT's. Originally White with dark red interior. Not only is a factory 429 but it is loaded with rare factory options including: C6 automatic, 3.25 31 spline axle with Nodular case, power steering, power disc brakes, bucket seats, console, in dash tach, hidden headlights, heavy duty suspension, dual racing mirrors and rimblow steering wheel. All these options are verified by the Marti report. The laser stripes are not listed on the Marti but obviously they are correct and look fantastic. The Magnum 500’s are also not original but period correct. This Ranchero was owned by the same gentleman from 1975 until 2013. It was sold new in Everett, WA and spent its whole life within 15 miles of that dealer. It was repainted about 7 years ago in the correct white and has been driven sparingly since then. Paint is good driver quality and the car is straight with no dents or visual rust. Since it has not been driven there is really no chips or scratches to speak of. The paint in the bed was just a quickie spray since the previous owner was going to rhino line it but fortunately never got around to it. Hideaway grill is in nice condition. Chrome is decent but is original and not perfect. There are a couple small dings in the rear bumper. Glass is good. Laser stripes look very nice, however there is some fading on the tailgate stripe. It had lower quarters replaced when it was repainted but it looks like they did a pretty decent job. There is some bodywork showing in front of the left rear wheel down low. Not too noticeable unless you look close. Underside looks decent, it does have some rust on the floors on the driver's side. Some small holes in the driver's front floor and rear floor that look like they have been filled with something from above. There is a hole in the compartment under the bed on the driver's side that is accessible from the back of the cab, maybe the size of a baseball. Frame rails all look good.. Magnums look like new, rear tires are 245/60r15 and look like new, front tires are 235/60r15 look pretty good. The interior is original and needs to be restored. The upholstery is torn, dash is cracked and carpet is worn. Headliner is pretty good but is shrinking and pulling from the back window. Console is in pretty good shape. The non #’s matching 429 was rebuilt and has less than 5k miles, as was the C6 transmission. Motor runs great and trans works well. Has new Holley carb. It has headers and exhaust that exits in front of rear wheels .It’s a bit load and personally I would run exhaust all the way out the back. Original 3.25 nodular case 31 spline rearend is present and works well. Lights, tach, wipers, heater etc all work. Steering has quite a bit of play and I would recommend a steering box before driving it any distance. Hideaways would not stay down when car was shut off so I unhooked the spring (spring still there, you can reconnect it if you want), now the lights won't open. I think it needs a switch and I have included another one. Brakes work well. Other than the steering box this is ready to go. This is a very rare Ranchero and one that has had much of the expensive work already done. You can rebuild the steering box and drive and enjoy it as is or restore the interior and some other minor work and bring this to the next level. Either way you have a great looking, factory big block car for a fraction of the cost of most big block muscle cars. In fairness to all bidders I will not disclose my reserve. I reserve the right to end the auction at any time. Car is sold as is where is. I have done my best to describe it accurately but please understand that it is 40+ years old and still needs some restoration work done. It is available for inspection by appointment. International buyers welcome. Any bidder with a feedback rating of less than 10 must contact me before bidding or bid will be cancelled. Shipping is the responsibility of the buyer. Car must be paid for in full within 5 days of auction end (no paypal.) Car must be picked up within 21 days of auction end unless prior arrangements are made. |

Petersen Museum celebrates 50 years of Ford Mustang with special exhibit
Mon, May 5 2014If you're a pony-car enthusiast, this is your year. Not only has Ford introduced an all-new Mustang, but it's also the 50th anniversary of the original. Celebrations and commemorations have been scheduled throughout the year, and not the least of them is the latest exhibit at the Petersen Automotive Museum in Los Angeles. Called "Mustangs Forever: 50 Years of a Legend", the exhibit includes Mustangs from every generation of the iconic pony car, including the 1965 convertible Ronald Reagan drove during his California gubernatorial campaign, a 1971 Mach 1 Cobra Jet, a 1974 Mustang II, 1993 SVT Cobra, 2000 Cobra R and a 2006 Shelby GT-H. Special sections focus on motorsports, aftermarket modifiers and limited-edition models. The display opened on Sunday with the Mustang Madness spectacular and will run for the next six months, but if you're not heading to Southern California within the coming half-year then you can scope out all the action in our live gallery of photos above.
2015 Ford Mustang potentially 'leaked' by Car and Driver
Mon, 28 Oct 2013Few upcoming debuts have been as eagerly anticipated as the all-new Ford Mustang that's expected to debut shortly as the Mustang's 50th anniversary year approaches. Well, Car and Driver magazine would have us wait no longer as it claims to be leaking Ford's new global pony car early.
Of course what you're looking at is just as likely to be a composite rendering based on what C/D projects the new Mustang to look like, but to our eyes it looks spot on. Combining design traits from the Evos Concept with classic Mustang signatures and Ford's Aston-inspired grille treatment, C/D's images - including a complete 360-degree digital navigator - show a Mustang not only for the modern era, but also for global distribution, taking a quintessentially American car to markets its predecessors were never designed for.
Those global considerations are expected to spell the demise of the outgoing Mustang's holdout live rear axle in favor of an independent suspension, and a slight constricting of the exterior dimensions. And thanks to a separate leak, coming from a digital survey, we have apparent confirmation of what will power the new pony car. While the existing 3.7-liter V6 and 5.0-liter V8 engines will apparently carry over with only slight adjustments in output, the survey confirms a new 2.4-liter turbo four will be positioned in between them, offering slightly more power than the V6 but markedly improved fuel economy for a manageable $560 premium over base.
Ford announces recall of 220,000 units in three different actions
Wed, Mar 25 2015Ford has announced three separate recalls affecting 220,000 vehicles built between model years 2011 and 2015. By far the biggest affects just under 213,000 Ford Explorer and Police Interceptor Utility SUVs from MY2011 through 2013. In these vehicles, a spring in the doorway handle could be come unseated, Ford reports, causing the doors to open in a side-impact accident. The affected vehicles were built over a wide range of dates, starting with February 1, 2011 and November 30, 2012. As usual, the majority of the 212,911 vehicles were sold in the US market – 194,484 vehicles, in fact, while Canada and Mexico split the remainder, with 12,392 and 6,035, respectively. The other two recalls focus on specialty vehicles, with Ford recalling 6,500 F-Series Super Duty ambulances and emergency trucks from model years 2011 to 2015. In the case of the 2014 and 2015 F-Series, only trucks with the 6.7-liter turbodiesel are affected. These trucks may have faulty exhaust gas sensors, which according to Ford, could cause the trucks to think they're in a high-temperature situation. The trucks in questions were built at Ford's Kentucky truck plant between February 22, 2010 and February 1, 2015. Finally, the Blue Oval is recalling 1,725 specialty Lincoln MKT crossovers from MY2013 to 2015. These include limos and hearses built between March 6, 2012 and March 4, 2015. Affected MKTs may have a faulty vacuum pump relay that could cause a fire under the hood. In the case of the Explorers, dealers will inspect all four door handles and repair them as needed. The Super Duty's will get software updates, while the MKTs will have the vacuum pump relays replaced outright. A pair of MKT fires has been the only reported incident caused by the recalled components, while the company is unaware of any injuries or deaths.
