This is a Super Clean Numbers Matching Truck / Car Well it's both , You Ford guy's are going to love this how clean and straight this Ranchero is !!!
My Dad bought this Ranchero back in the 90's from a collector , And proudly showed it off at the local car shows , We had a lot of fun keeping his antique cars and trucks all shined up and running in Tip Top shape, My Interests are a little different than my Dad's were, I enjoy restoring Hit & Miss engines and antique Bull dozers , This car has been garaged since we have owned it ,and probably most of it's life !! Dad bought it with approximately 9000 miles on it It now Has 12,035 miles and it has NOT been around the clock either , We had it repainted in 2004 the original color which is sandstone beige if I remember right , It was the original factory color it has always been, There is no rust or repairs on the body , The right side door looks as though it had a shopping cart ding in it that was smoothed when repainted But you really have to look for the spot, The undercarriage has some surface discoloration and light surface rust , The ORIGINAL tires are showing a little cracking, All in all this is one super straight and clean car , Doors ,Hood, Tailgate all open and close perfectly,!!!! It drives ,shifts,brakes , handles perfectly!!! It starts,idles, no ticks or taps and runs Excellent , It has an aftermarket radio under the dash The factory Am still in place and works, The louvered hood and faux searchlight were on it when we bought it along with the dress up chrome in the engine compartment , I also have a set of fake lakewood side pipes that could be worked into the deal. Please feel free to ask any questions , I will try to answer each evening , |

Ford, Volvo top 2014 EyesOn Design awards
Fri, 17 Jan 2014Each year at the Detroit Auto Show, the top vehicle designs are recognized with the prestigious EyesOn Design award for production and concept vehicles. This year, the 32 EyesOn Design judges (comprised of current and former vehicle designers including Chrysler designer and SRT president Ralph Gilles, Kia designer Peter Schreyer and retired General Motors designer Wayne Cherry) handed out three awards for the Best Concept Vehicle, Best Production Vehicle and Innovative Use of Color, Graphics, and Materials.
Beating out the Mercedes C-Class and Ford F-150, the 2015 Ford Mustang was named the Best Production Vehicle as the top auto show debut at this year's Detroit show. The 2014 Volvo Concept XC Coupe took home awards as the Best Concept Vehicle and for its Innovative Use of Color, Graphics and Materials.
Considering the Volvo's primer grey hue and subtle orange accents, it was a rather surprising winner for Innovative Use of Color, Graphics, and Materials over flashier concepts like the Toyota FT-1 and our Editors' Choice top pick, the Kia GT4 Stinger. Other vehicles in the running for the concept car award include the GT4 Stinger and Audi Allroad Shooting Brake
2015 Ford F-Series Super Duty is class-leading once again
Wed, 05 Mar 2014Time for everyone to feign surprise - Ford has just announced that it has the increased horsepower and torque levels of its 6.7-liter Power Stroke turbodiesel V8 engine for 2015. As you'd expect, the Blue Oval is claiming class-leading figures of 440 hp (up from 400) and 860 pound-feet (up from 800), and that's enough to enable Ford's F-450 Super Duty model to tow as much as 31,200 pounds, which, again, the automaker claims is class leading.
Now, it should be noted that the max rating quoted above is achieved with the Ford F-450. The 2015 F-350, which is perhaps a better comparison to the Ram 3500 HD pickup that claimed the towing crown in 2013 at an even 30,000 pounds, is capped at 26,500 pounds, either with a gooseneck or when towing a fifth-wheel trailer. In any case, it's going to take a load the size of Godzilla to make any of the current crop of fullsize heavy-duty pickup trucks break into a sweat. For those keeping track, Chevy rates its 2015 Silverado HD at a maximum of 23,200 pounds.
Ford's newfound pulling power comes courtesy of a larger turbocharger for its in-house Power Stroke engine, new fuel injector tips and, we'd assume, retuned computer controls. Besides the engine enhancements, the F-350 gets a wider front track for 2015 and new front springs, while the F-450 gains commercial-grade 19.5-inch wheels and tires, new rear U-joints, leaf springs, stabilizer bars and shocks. The steering and brake systems have also been upgraded.
2013 Ford F-150 Limited
Mon, 28 Jan 2013The Ford F-150 received yet another new model for the 2013 model year, the Limited trim, bringing the ways you can order this country's most popular vehicle to a grand total of 10. There really is an F-150 to suit any need now, and the Limited variant slots in at the very top of the range, above the already pampering Platinum model.
While normally I would admit that I'm the least-appropriate person to test a pickup, the fact that this particular trim places a much higher premium on luxury than anything with a bed and Blue Oval badge before it means that I don't need the workman chops of a skilled tradesman to judge how well this truck meets its true aim.
