This is a 1957 Ford Ranchero, first year of production, in running condition, but needing work. It has the original 292 engine and 2 speed transmission, 2 barrel carb.  The engine is missing in 3 cylinders, most likely a valve job. I have owned the car about 12 years, and unfortunately only drive it  4 or 5 times a year. It has always been licensed and insured. Having other cars also, I have not given this Ranchero the attention it deserves.  Definitely could use a full restoration. The bench seat and carpet have been redone, but the dash pad, and headliner needs replacing, door panels look good,and the gauges don't work, odometer, not sure of the mileage, just put in a figure because I had to.  The lights, turn signals, brake lights all work. Under the hood, new radiator, water pump, fuel pump, battery, and rebuilt carb. everything else is stock. The body, looks decent, no dents, used a magnet around wheel wells, couldn't find bondo. You can see surface rust along edges, small bubbles around wheel wells, but are firm. The only significant rust it had, was behind the passenger seat. A pan was placed there when the carpet was redone. It has all the chrome, trim pieces, and original hubcaps. Any other questions, feel free to email, I could send more pictures. I have tried the be as honest as I could and not sugar coat anything, hope the pictures give you a good idea.  Thanks

What's in a trademark? Sometimes, the next iconic car name

Thu, 07 Aug 2014



The United States Patent and Trademark Office is a treasure trove for auto enthusiasts, especially those who double as conspiracy theorists.
Why has Toyota applied to trademark "Supra," the name of one of its legendary sports cars, even though it hasn't sold one in the United States in 16 years? Why would General Motors continue to register "Chevelle" long after one of the most famous American muscle cars hit the end of the road? And what could Chrysler possibly do with the rights to "313," the area code for Detroit?

GM also sheds parts from its pickups to boost payload ratings

Thu, 31 Jul 2014

The row between Ford and Ram over who boasts the best-in-class tow rating for heavy duty pickups has revealed a number of things. Chief among them is a report that Ford removes items like the spare tire, jack, radio and center console from its vehicles in a bid to lower its base curb weight and therefore keep the truck's gross vehicle weight rating down.
For those that need a refresher, GVWR is the vehicle's curb weight plus its maximum payload. A lower GVWR allows Ford to station its F-450 among the so-called Class III pickups, despite the fact that internally, it has the makings of a more brutish Class IV truck.
Ford explains away these deletions, saying a customer could order their vehicle in such a manner. It has also come to light that Ford is not the only automaker to engage in such practices.

Ford reveals EcoBoost-powered Riley prototype for Daytona 24

Tue, 01 Oct 2013

It's not the first time Ford has participated in the Daytona Prototype class as an engine supplier, but in revealing this new EcoBoost V6-powered Riley Technologies prototype for the new United SportsCar Championship, Ford is making a statement: "We want to show Ford EcoBoost's capabilities as an engine that provides both performance and fuel economy, on and off the track," says Jamie Allison, director of Ford Racing.
In addition to supplying the 3.5-liter twin-turbocharged V6, Ford had its production designer Garen Nicoghosian give the racecar brand-inspired design cues with support from Ford Racing chief aerodynamicist Bernie Marcus.
The car is scheduled to compete at next year's Rolex 24 at Daytona on January 25-26, but before that, Michael Shank Racing is working with Ford at another goal. Driving his Ford Thunderbird, NASCAR champion Bill Elliott set the track's top speed record at 210.364 miles per hour during a qualifying run for the Daytona 500 - way back in 1987 -- and Ford thinks it's about time for that record to fall. What better time the introduction of this new Ford-powered Daytona Prototype? Michael Shank Racing plans to use the twin-turbo V6-powered racer to beat Elliott's record, and it expects to begin prepping for the top-speed run on October 9.
