1964 Ford Ranchero. Modifed with 1962 Chevrolet 327 cu. in. V-8 and 4 spd Saginaw transmission. Car runs and drives well but will need some TLC as far as fine tuning, and cosmetics. Brakes pull slightly (drums all around) when first driven after sitting for long periods. Body is straight but has small areas of rust around lower rear fenders as do most vehicles of this age. Left front fender and hood has been replaced and are still in primer. Floorboards are solid and rust free and appear to have been replaced at some time in the past. Bucket seats (very comfortable) have been installed though they are electric and motor have not been wired up. Has after market custom steering wheel and Foose wheels with real good tires. (NOTE - wheels say FOOSE but inside says made in China so I believe they are knockoffs - would Chip allow China to manufacture his wheels? - I think not!) All glass is good and complete. I have an original pair of the 260 emblems that go on the front fenders which will be included in the sale. Clean California title and original California car thus minimal rust issues.
I STRONGLY SUGGEST AN INDEPENDENT REVIEW OF THIS VEHICLE PRIOR TO SALE AS IT IS A MODIFIED VEHICLE AND MAY NOT BE TO EVERYONES TASTE (327 Chev in a Ford - to each their own!) Please ask any questions well before the end of the auction. I have set a reasonable reserve and will not disclose that to be fair to eveyone.

Ken Block hoons his Ford F-150 RaptorTrax on the slopes
Wed, 08 Oct 2014Ken Block drives Fords. Hoons the heck out of 'em, actually. Mostly Fiestas, but also the occasional Focus or Mustang. But earlier this year, the Gymkhana guru revealed his baddest Ford yet: an F-150 SVT Raptor on tracks. And true to form, here he is putting it to the test in the latest video from Monster Energy and Hoonigan Racing.
Filmed at Baldface Lodge in Nelson, BC, the video pairs Block up with snowboarders Zak Hale and Ethan Deiss for some deep-powder action. You'll want to watch the video for yourself, but the bottom line is that the RaptorTrax beats the heck out of waiting on line for the ski lift. It's enough to make us start to look forward to winter... almost.
Ford recalling 850,000 cars and SUVs for airbag issues
Fri, 26 Sep 2014Ford has announced a major recall of 850,000 vehicles from model years 2013 and 2014 due to a problem with the "restraints control module."
According to Ford, a short circuit could develop in the module, causing the airbag warning light to illuminate. In more severe cases, dependent on where the short develops, the airbags and seatbelt pre-tensioners may not work in the event of an accident. The problems can be more wide-ranging than that, too, as systems that rely on information from the control module, such as the stability control can be affected.
With 850,000 vehicles affected, it's no surprise that some of Ford's volume leaders are covered. That includes the Fusion and Lincoln MKZ sedans, as well as the incredibly recall-prone Escape and the C-Max MPV.
Tier 1 suppliers call GM the worst OEM to work with
Mon, 12 May 2014Among automakers with a big US presence, General Motors is the worst to work for, according to a new survey from Tier 1 automotive suppliers, conducted by Planning Perspectives, Inc.
The Detroit-based manufacturer, which has been under fire following the ignition switch recall and its accompanying scandal, finished behind six other automakers with big US manufacturing operations. Suppliers had issues with trust and communications, as well as intellectual property protection. GM was also the least likely to allow suppliers to raise their prices in the face of unexpected increases in material cost, all of which contributed to 55 percent of suppliers saying their relationship with GM was "poor to very poor."
GM's cross-town competitors didn't fare much better. Chrysler finished in fifth place, ahead of GM and behind Dearborn-based Ford, which was passed for third place this year by Nissan. Toyota took the top marks, while Honda captured second place.
