Fast Classic Ford Ranchero on 2040-cars
Redwood Estates, California, United States
1977 FORD RANCHERO, V8, 351 WINDSOR, AUTOMATIC I haven't owned her a very long time. I bought her from a teenager who had tried to supe her up some. He took off all the California smog parts and air conditioning but, then couldn't get her registered. I bought her put her back together and she passed smog last April. She is running strong and fast and will lay out some rubber pretty easily. In addition to replacing the smog and air condition parts, I have replaced the water pump, radiator, thermostat, front disc brakes and rotors. It has just under 97,000 original miles, pretty good tires all the way around and a spare though 1 tire is mismatched from the others as far as brand, the battery is fairly new. All that being said, this is a 37 year old car and is "SOLD AS IS". Though the stuffing is not yet showing or coming out the top, the leather seats are splitting at the seams, the headliner is shot and coming apart, a couple of splits in the dashboard, several scratches in the paint, small ding on tailgate, some body work on the side top supports. It doesn't overheat or leak any oil, transmission or radiator fluids. The air conditioner had a small leak. The registration is due 28th of this month and is $180.00 I had hoped to paint her, fix the interior and put some really nice rims on but, I have other vehicles and bills I need to pay. Opening bid is what they will give me to scrap her. Sure would hate to do that to this classic but, I can't keep her. This is local pick up only. I will deliver (drive her) to you anywhere within a 25 mile radius of San Jose, California |

Ford adding stop-start to all major model lines
Sun, 24 Nov 2013Ford has gone all-in on its efforts to offer most of its new vehicles with a fuel-efficient EcoBoost engine, but the automaker is reportedly preparing to take another big step toward improving vehicle efficiency. Automotive News is reporting that Ford will soon expand the availability of start-stop technology, which was first offered - presumably the first non-hybrid vehicle, that is - on the 2013 Fusion (equipped with the 1.6-liter EcoBoost engine) as a $295 option.
The benefit of start-stop is reduced fuel consumption as it shuts the engine off at long stops, and AN quotes Ford as saying that drivers can save more than $1,000 on fuel costs over five years. Despite this, the option hasn't been popular on the Fusion thus far, but it could be more beneficial on bigger vehicles like the F-150. Ford also said that the next-gen Edge, which was previewed in concept form at the LA Auto Show, will be equipped with auto start-stop to help make the EcoBoost engines even more efficient.
2015 Ford C-Max gets a corporate nose job [w/video]
Thu, 02 Oct 2014Ford might not have the splashiest booth here at the 2014 Paris Motor Show, but the automaker is showing off quite a bit of hardware that will actually end up on roads across Europe. Parisians are no doubt tickled at getting to see the specifications of the Mustang tuned for The Continent (which has a revised suspension for European roads, and a few visual nips and tucks), in addition to the revised face of the family-friendly C-Max.
As you can see, C-Max styling has been revisited with a deft touch, grafting Ford's six-sided corporate grille on the nose, in place of the outgoing car's two-part affair. New headlights can also be found on the car's revised front fascia, though the rear end of the C-Max looks only slightly different than the current version.
Inside the cabin, Ford has consolidated controls and upped the ante in terms of material quality, with "black satin" and chrome details and more storage capacity, overall. Grocery-lugging moms and dads everywhere should appreciate the hands-free liftgate feature, as well.
What an Atlas-based Ford F-150 might look like
Thu, 27 Jun 2013Just ahead of January's Detroit Auto Show, surprising rumors pegged Ford as revealing some sort of F-150 concept, perhaps as a hurried effort to deflate some of the buzz building around General Motors' new Chevrolet Silverado and GMC Sierra twins, which were also making their auto show debut. Those rumblings turned out to be true, as Ford rolled into the Motor City with its Atlas concept (inset, right), touting the truck's bold styling as a precursor to the next-generation F-Series.
The show truck featured all kinds of clever details, including active wheel shutters and a front air dam that raised and lowered to improve aerodynamics while preserving off-road ability. It also had a genuinely snarly face. And it's that pugnacious snout that may well be on its way to production. The good folks at TopSpeed have worked up the plausible-looking artist's rendering above by cross-referencing the Atlas concept with what little has been revealed from recent spy shots. The look is toned-down pretty dramatically from the concept truck, but its Atlas roots are clear, with a massive three-bar grille and bracket-shaped headlamps hiding a next-generation EcoBoost engine. In the rendering, the show truck's deeply contoured hood and roofline have been ditched and larger, more traditional side mirrors have been fitted - all likely concessions in the move to production sheetmetal.
While Ford has yet to officially announce when it will unveil the 2015 F-150, all signs point to next year's Detroit Auto Show - one year after the Atlas shrugged off GM's new pickups.
