1967 Ford Rachero 500 390 EFI Resto Mod/Pro touring car

This truck is Fast and Beautiful. It handle and stops better than any pick up you have ever driven too. 

I am a professional car builder and well known diagnostician and technician I built this truck for me but my family has decided they like going to car events for me so we are needing a few more seating positions and I don't have enough room for this one and I can't stand to have it sit around without being enjoyed. You are buying this car for 30% of the cost to build it or more to the point you are buying the paint and I am throwing in one really nice hot rod.

The body and interior were media blasted and made laser straight including sand and fill across panels for that show car look. All repairs were done with the car on a rotisserie. All the blocking was done this way too so even the bottom of the car is straight if you look up at it. The color is the 2009 Ford F series Red which is pretty close to the original 67 red but much easier to match. All of the stainless on the car has been polished, all of the chrome has been completely restored including the dash parts (over $1100 just in the interior chrome bezels of the gauges and A/C vents) Nearly every system on it has been upgraded from lighting and wiring to a complete redesign of the suspension for better ride and handling than Ranchero's normally had. Here is the list:

 

Body

Base coat clear coat super glossy rubbed out paint job

All of the body joints were cleaned and resealed with new joint sealant

All lines adjusted and fit for straightness

Power dome hood scoops with the 390 emblems removed

Blacked out hood, scoops, cowl and wiper arms

All new rubber throughout

Bed is very straight and has color matched Rhino lining

Stainless trim all polished 

Head light doors, Grille and tail lamp bezels all powder coated in a matte pearl gray

Halogen headlamps

All doors including tailgate sound dampened for that high end car sound when they close

500 trim removed (You can have all of it if you want it.)

All new chrome and emblems - some New Old Stock (NOS)

NOS lamps with restored reflectors

 

Interior

1960s time machine. 

All original NOS gauges and radio

Factory A/C system

Interior all in original Ford colors

New headliner original style

New carpet loop

Ranchero embroidered floor mats

Seat redone with memory foam, original style vinyl but 2005 Mustang Red Fabric inset for better comfort.

New Dearborn Classic door panels - GT style because you could not get the 500 when we did the car

New custom vinyl panel behind seat

All repainted in correct 67 Fairlane red metallic inside

Dash pad was upholstered to match interior

Added period correct Moon Gauges and Tachometer

Added period correct steering wheel with red metal flake - I just liked it

All dash chrome was vacuum plated or chromed better than original

Everything works

 

Engine

I build and tune engines for a living and for over 35 years. This was designed on dyno simulation software and it sounds like a drag race engine but will tear your face off right off idle to about 5500 RPM.

351 Windsor bored .040 and stroked to 3.83 to get 390 Cubic inches

Ford Racing Aluminum Heads

11:1 compression

Comp Cams custom grind Hydraulic roller cam

Roller rocker ams

Eagle Strocker kit with H beam rods, cast crank and Hypereutectic pistons (street motor I didn't want forged pistons rattling in case it needed a ping control)

SFI harmonic balancer

Melling oil pump

Hardened pump drive shaft

Machine work by MPG heads - a very successful Engine Masters Competitor

Trick flow EFI intake

42 pound fuel injectors

75mm BBS throttle body

MSD EFI distributor

Ford A9L Mustang Computer - custom programmed

1.75 primary Hooker competition headers

2.5 inch custom Exhaust with Flowmaster Delta Flow Mufflers

430 uncorrected horsepower at the rear wheels @ 5300 ft above sea level.

Gear reduction starter for hot days.

 

Drivetrain

Performance Automatic C4 with all the big parts in it. Custom Art Carr 2400 RPM stall converter

Lincoln Versailles 9 Inch with 3.0 Limited slip, Noisy but fine Richmond High nickel gears and a custom Torque arm and sub frame connectors

Don't worry It can blow its tires away at will but if you are a little subtle it hooks up well. 

New high performance driveshaft

 

Suspension

The factory suspension has been plotted in my Lotus suspension design software to improve several areas. 

Moved the upper control arms to better locations for better camber curve and anti dive. (similar to the Shelby mod on the mustangs)

Removed the springs from the upper control arms and utilized adjustable air coil overs on the lower control arms to lower the spring roll pivot points.

Custom adjustable upper coil over seats on the front.

Boss Mustang style lower frame rail supports welded in

All new parts in Steering

Rear suspension is a Rocker arm like a Formula 1 car. The Air coil overs are horizontal mounted and attach to the rocker arms and pushrods down to the rear end. This reduces unsprung weight and keeps the rear from bouncing over rough roads and there is no wheel hop from this suspension.

 

Brakes

This thing stops like a Porsche or Corvette.

Front custom fit 13” Cobra Mustang – designed so you can use off the shelf rotors and pads when it needs them

Rear brakes 12” 08 Mustang GT Lokar custom cables connect the park brakes to the original Emergency Brakes

2001 Mustang GT Hydroboost brake booster

Adjustable rear proportioning valve

Stainless brake hoses and new hard lines throughout

 

Fuel System

Modified Factory tank with dual in tank rotary electric fuel pumps.

New fuel sending unit

New fuel lines throughout

The fascinating forgotten civil defense history of Mister Softee trucks

Mon, 26 Aug 2013

Hemmings came across an interesting article from the Throwin' Wrenches blog about the intersection of ice cream, cars and civic duty in America's late 1950s. In particular, it focuses on the Mister Softee trucks, which criss-crossed neighborhoods of the eastern US serving ice cream. Looking past the ultra-durable vehicles used - heavy-duty Ford-based chassis, for what it's worth - the article delves into some deeper national-security territory.
See, Mister Softee truck owners were voluntary members of the Civil Defense, thanks to all the useful stuff (potable water, generators, freezers and fridges) that the machines carried with them for serving ice cream. Click over to Throwin' Wrenches for the full run down of how Mister Softee would have stepped in to help fight if the Cold War ever turned a little hotter.

Would you pay $17 a month to give your older Ford connectivity?

Fri, Mar 30 2018

When it was first introduced in 2007, there was nothing like the original Ford Sync system, since it allowed car owners to connect and use a portable device better than anything that came before it. And because it was a brought-in/tethered and software-based system, Sync leveraged a device's connectivity and was easily updated. It took competitors awhile to catch up: Toyota Entune wasn't available until 2011, and Chevy MyLink didn't roll out until 2012. But now Ford is the one playing catchup since it stuck with the brought-in strategy while most other automakers were quicker to add connectivity via an embedded cellular modem. Ford initially installed 2G/3G modems in its small fleet of electric and plug-in electric vehicles starting in 2012 so that owners could keep tabs on charging. Embedded connectivity came to Lincoln in 2014, and Ford began adding onboard 4G LTE via Sync Connect to select cars starting with the Escape in 2015. To get more cars connected more quickly, last week the automaker rolled out its FordPass SmartLink solution that plugs into the OBD port of 2010 to 2017 model year vehicles. This lets owners retroactively get onboard Wi-Fi, set up a "geo-fence" to keep tabs on a car's location, receive vehicle health reports and allows remote engine starting and door locking/unlocking using a smartphone app, among other features. But to connect older Ford vehicles will cost owners $16.99 a month for two years, not including installation. Ford throws in 1 GB of data or a 30-day trial, whichever comes first, after which owners have to add the vehicle to their Verizon shared data plan, which supplies connectivity for SmartLink, or establish a new account. (Disclosure: Autoblog is owned by Verizon.) By comparison, GM's 4G LTE data plans start at $10 a month for 200 MB and goes up to $30 for 3 GB, and owners can also add a car to an AT&T shared-data plan. But OnStar doesn't have a separate monthly subscription for the embedded modem or an installation charge, and standard features via the RemoteLink Mobile App are free for the first five years of ownership. FCA's Uconnect Access service also uses an embedded modem to provide similar telematics features for $20 per month following a free one-year trial, while a la carte in-car Wi-Fi is offered for $10 per day, $20 per week or $35 per month.

Ford Shelby GT350 Mustang is a lean, mean, Z/28-fighting machine [w/video]

Mon, 17 Nov 2014

If there's one thing you can count on, it's that the renewed rivalry between the Ford Mustang and Chevrolet Camaro will never, ever cease. For every version of Ford's pony car, there's an equally potent Chevrolet. And so with the debut of the Camaro Z/28 earlier this year, Ford has responded with a track-focused 'Stang of its own, resurrecting the Shelby GT350 name.
It looks to be a fine piece of work, this Mustang, with power coming from a naturally aspirated 5.2-liter V8 that will produce "more than 500 horsepower" and "above 400" pound-feet of torque. That grunt runs to the rear wheels via a six-speed manual transmission, and a Torsen limited-slip differential keeps everything in line.
But that's hardly the most impressive piece of the GT350 puzzle. Ford has increased the Mustang GT's chassis stiffness for duty here in the Shelby, and the coupe employs MagneRide damping which automatically adjusts based on road conditions and driver inputs. It's a first both for the Blue Oval and for the segment. And speaking of firsts, the GT350 uses a flat-plane crankshaft - something Ford has never included in a production V8 before.
