First year for the Ranchero, a rare find. Has approximately 26,000 miles, true mileage unknown but I drive it daily so it's bound to change. The color of the outside is not original but the inside is which is green. I just drive around town and it drives fine. I have had a new fuel pump and filter installed as well as a new carburetor, cleaned out the fuel lines and boiled and coated the original gas tank and installed a new fuel float. I still have the old carburetor which we rebuilt but it runs better with the new carb. New correct sized battery with new electronic ignition and new distributor cap, also installed new spark plugs. New Dyna Max muffler setup from the headers back with dual chrome tips. Rebuilt original two speed transmission and it runs and shifts fine. New water pump. New brake shoes, brake hose lines and hardware kit. Also upgraded to a dual master cylinder brake booster. New oil pump, filter and oil of course. The headlight bulbs have been changed to halogen to see better at night. The radio works, the clock works intermittently, the windshield wipers work but the heater does not work and the horn works. The bed rails are period correct and look nice on the truck and the hubcaps are original. I think I bought the car from the son of the original owner. I tried to show as best I could where the rust and paint peeling is in the pics I have more pictures, so just ask to see them and I will send them. There is some rust on the bottom of the rear fenders, behind the drivers door near the rocker. There is bondo showing through the paint in front of the driver side rear fender and the floor panels are pitted but relatively solid. Also in the rear fender well on the passenger side rear there is about a 3 inch spot. Most of the rust spots are less than 3-4 inches except maybe behind the rear wheels. Paint is peeling on several spots throughout the car most notably the tops of the roof and around the head lights and rear fender fins. The hood and doors shut but could use adjustment. I was going to rebuild the engine but was told by my mechanic it looked fine on the inside and from my driving it the past year I'd say he's right. It drives relatively straight on the highway and cruises well at 70. Just installed four new shocks so it sits higher than is shown in some of the pictures. The original radiator has been re-cored. All work was done by a mechanic so it's been done right. Please call 925-918-3389 with any and all questions before you bid. The car is available to look at in Pleasanton, California which would be a good idea so that you know what your getting. The car is sold as is. Any shipping will be the buyers responsibility, although I will do what I can to expedite the process.

2016 Ford Explorer embarks at the LA Auto Show
Wed, 29 Oct 2014Twenty-five years since its debut in 1990, Ford will celebrate a quarter century of Explorer models next year with the debut of a refreshed 2016 model at the 2014 Los Angeles Auto Show on November 19. The Blue Oval is keeping mum on hard details about the updated SUV for now, but the brand promises, "a new look, added capability and additional driver-assist technology," in its announcement.
Company marketing boss Jim Farley elaborated a little more on what to expect. "The new Explorer is still the SUV America fell in love with - a vehicle built for the perfect family adventure," he said in the release that you're welcome to read down below.
An updated Explorer is a pretty big deal for Ford's bottom line. Worldwide, SUVs and crossovers account for about 23 percent of Ford's sales, and the segment is projected to grow to around 29 percent by 2020. Ford further says that SUVs and CUVs are the world's quickest growing segment with demand up 88 percent since 2008.
Fitting Retirement: Grand Marquis last Mercury off the line
Wed, 05 Jan 2011The signs have come down and retail production ended back in October of 2010. Now, the very last Mercury model has rolled off the assembly line. This last Mercury somewhat fittingly takes the form of a Grand Marquis reporting for fleet duty. It was built at the St. Thomas plant in Ontario, Canada, which is the same facility that continues to produce the Ford Crown Victoria and Lincoln Town Car for fleet and livery duty.
St. Thomas' days are numbered, however, as the factory is slated to close on August 31. When it goes, the Panther platform is likely to follow. So long, and thanks for all the fish memories.
