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. |

Autoblog's guilty pleasure cars
Tue, Mar 10 2015Guilty pleasures are part of life – don't even try to pretend like you don't have one (or two, or six). In the non-automotive space, this could come down to that secret playlist in your iPhone of songs you'll only listen to when you're alone; or think of that one TV show you really do love, but won't admit to your friends. I've got plenty, and so do you. Going back to cars, here's a particularly juicy one for me: several years ago, I had a mad crush on the very last iteration of the Cadillac DTS. Oh yes, the front-wheel-drive, Northstar V8-powered sofa-on-wheels that was the last remaining shred of the elderly-swooning days of Cadillac's past. Every time I had the chance to drive one, I was secretly giddy. Don't hate me, okay? These days, the DTS is gone, but I've still got a mess of other cars that hold a special place in my heart. And in the spirit of camaraderie, I've asked my other Autoblog editors to tell me some of their guilty pleasure cars, as well – Seyth Miersma, as you can see above, has a few choice emotions to share about the Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution. Read on to find out what cars make us secretly happy. Mercedes-Benz SL65 AMG This decadent convertible is the epitome of the guilty pleasure. It's big, powerful, fairly heavy and it's richly appointed inside and out. It's a chocolate eclair with the three-pointed star on the hood. Given my druthers, I'd take the SL65 AMG, which delivers 621 horsepower and 738 pound-feet of torque. That output is borderline absurd for this laid-back convertible. I don't care. You don't need dessert. Sometimes you just crave it. The SL line is about the feel you get on the road. The roof is open. The air, sun and engine sounds all embrace you. It's the same dynamic you could have experienced in a Mercedes a century ago, yet the SL gives you the most modern of luxuries. An Airscarf feature that warms my neck and shoulders through a vent embedded in the seat? Yes, please. Sure, it's an old-guy car. Mr. Burns and Lord Grantham are probably too young and hip for an SL65. I don't care. This is my guilty pleasure. Release the hounds. – Greg Migliore Senior Editor Ford Flex I drove my first Flex in 2009 when my mother let me borrow hers for the summer while I was away at college. The incredibly spacious interior made moving twice that summer a breeze, and the 200-mile trips up north were quite comfortable.
Ford Focus Electric gets $6,000 price drop, now starts at $29,995
Mon, Oct 20 2014In early 2013, the Nissan Leaf shed a massive $6,500 from its $35,200 base price to offer a new starting price of $28,800. Since then, we have seen numerous other plug-in vehicles get smaller price tags, from the Honda Fit EV (lower lease price) to the Chevrolet Volt (around $5,000 lower) to the Mitsubishi i (a $6,130 drop). Last year, Ford lowered the $39,200 price of the Focus Electric by around $4,000, but that hasn't been enough to get the Ford EV to really compete, saleswise, with other plug-in vehicles on the market. But wait, as they say, there's more. This past weekend, Ford lopped another $6,000 from the price of both the 2014 model year Focus EVs currently on dealer lots as well as the redesigned 2015 models that are now rolling out (they're basically the same car, minus some appearance changes). Ford spokesman Aaron Miller confirmed to AutoblogGreen that the Focus EV will now start at $29,995 and said that reducing the price should make the Blue Oval's only pure EV competitive. "We hope by reducing the price we're giving consumers another reason to consider it," he said. Through the end of September 2014, Ford has sold just 1,534 Focus EVs in the US (the model sold 1,335 in the first nine months of 2013). For comparison's sake, the Nissan Leaf starts at $29,010 and sells around 3,000 units a month in the US. Miller notes that the Focus EV has been selling the best on the West Coast, and is also doing well on the East Coast. After that, he said Atlanta and the Great Lakes area also see decent sales of model's admittedly small pie. We can only assume that offering the EV for under $30,000 will make that pie somewhat bigger.
