Up for auction is a clean rust free 1979 Ford Ranchero Brougham, it is a California truck, with new carpet, and custom 70's paint/sunroof.... Check out those wheels! This was the last of the mid size Ford vehicles with a full frame, and the last year for the Ranchero. This one has the full instramentaion, like the GT models. All the gauges work, even the clock ! The tilt column is in good condition, and the cruise works! The cornering lamps and other lights also work. The engine is a stock 351 M, and has the FMX transmission. The rear axle is the HD ford 9 inch unit.

This truck has had the following recently; master cylinder, rebuilt front end including upper control arm ball joints and bushings, new shocks, ( HD overload rears) new tie rods, power sterring box and hoses,new radiator, trans service, and new premium carpet professionally installed. This ranchero is currently California registered, and has recently passed the very tough test. It has a clear title.

The sunroof is a twin type, and has not leaked. It has a carpet bed mat that velcros and snaps in.I have a set of replacement bed trim parts and clips that go with the truck. There was NO rust or corrosion on the floor when I had the carpet replaced.

This Ranchero has 2 dents and a few dings,with several paint chips . It also has faded paint on the Left had Quarter. I am sure it has been repainted,but, is the original RARE color. This is the same as the 1978 Lincoln Mark V / Ford Thunderbird Diamond Jubilee color.....

All in all, a nice example of the last of the Rancheros......Feel free to ask all questions before bidding, sold "AS IS" will help your shipper. East coast shipping to the NY area is about $1200.00 as a ball park. I reserve the right to end this auction at any time as it is advertised locally. Sold with NO RESERVE!

Ford recalling nearly 700k Escape CUVs, C-Max hybrids over two separate safety issues

Fri, 09 May 2014

Poor Escape. Ever since its launch in 2012, Ford's small CUV has been the subject of many, many, many recalls. And today, The Detroit News is reporting that Ford is adding two more recalls to the 2013-14 model year Escape's permanent record, one of them also involves the C-Max hybrid hatchback.
The first recall, covering 692,500 Escape and C-Max vehicles, is due to a software glitch that could cause the airbags - specifically, the safety canopy - to not deploy in a timely fashion during rollover crashes. According to the News, Ford says no crashes or injuries have been reported in relation to this problem.
The second recall, covering 692,700 Escapes, is related to the door handles. The News reports that the exterior door handles could open while the vehicle is in motion, and could also fail to latch properly. Once again, no crashes or injuries have occurred because of this. The National Highway Safety Traffic Administration has not issued an official notice on either recall as of this writing.

Ford F-150 RaptorTrax is Ken Block's ultimate snowmobile

Tue, 21 Jan 2014

Even when Ken Block isn't starring in the latest Gymkhana video or tearing up Global RallyCross courses, he's finding new ways to redefine "awesome" as it applies to motorsports. For evidence of this, look no further than Block's latest Monster-badged creation, the Ford F-150 RaptorTrax.
Billed as the "world's fastest snowcat," the RaptorTrax started life as a Ford F-150 SVT Raptor, and then a set of Mattracks were put in place where the truck's bead-locked wheels and meaty rubber once resided. The goal was to create a truck that made it easier - and presumably more fun - for Block and his buddies to hit the slopes on their snowboards. Aside from the obvious track upgrades, this truck also received a Whipple supercharger, full roll cage, Recaro seats, an in-bed snowboard rack, a roof basket and a rear-mounted winch - you know, just in case something or someone actually manages to get this truck stuck.
The RaptorTrax will be on display later this week at the Winter X Games in Apsen, CO, but we'll have to wait until next winter for a full Block-worthy video of the truck. A full press release from Hoonigan Racing Division is posted below, and a high-res image can be found by clicking above.

Ford Shelby GT350 Mustang is a track-day weapon with 500 hp

Mon, 17 Nov 2014



Ford promises more than 500 horsepower and a torque peak above 400 lb-ft.
The wait is finally over. After months of spy shots, rumor and innuendo, Ford has officially pulled the wraps off its new Shelby GT350. Judging by the spec sheet and the promises being made - especially that the Shelby GT350 will be "an all-day track car that's also street legal" - the wait appears to have been worth it.
