Driving
this BEAST
The Ranchero
is blisteringly fast and I can say I do not have the guts to stay on the gas
for very long – frankly, it’s scary fast.
It handles
well with the suspension mods, considering the geometry is stock. The brakes
keep up with the added power and are not boosted because I like heavy braking
and steering in a heavy, powerful car like this. It has definitely turned a few
heads at autocross events!
I would be
100% confident to get in this car and drive it anywhere today and would feel
the same about seeing off the new buyer on a great road trip home.
Other
Registered in
Pennsylvania as antique to keep the insurance rates very low; clear title in my
name.
About the sale:
I’m selling
my Ranchero because I fell for (and bought) a 34 Ford pickup and have been, since
that time, bitten by the traditional hot rod bug.
We can seal
the deal with a $500 non-refundable PayPal deposit within 24 hours of auction
close; the balance of payment will be due within 7 days after auction close. To
avoid paying a large PayPal service charge, I’ll only accept PayPal for the deposit
amount.
Over the
years, I’ve been totally satisfied, both as a buyer and seller, with Intercity
Lines (http://www.intercitylines.com)
and I’ll certainly make myself available for your shipper or you to get the
car. If you win the auction and decide to fly to Philly to drive the Ranchero
home, please call me and maybe I can pick you up at the Philly airport.
I’ll be happy
to send you the title by FedEx on the day after your payment clears my bank (I’m
giving myself a day in case I get jammed up at work and I can’t get to the
FedEx box in time).

Alan Mulally talks about why Ford's Falcon had to die
Tue, 20 Aug 2013When Ford made the decision to end production of the Falcon sedan and Territory CUV in Australia, it wasn't a popular move Down Under. The large, four-door Falcon had been in production for 50 years, and while Ford has reaffirmed its commitment to the Australian market, it's understandable that some people still aren't all that crazy about the Blue Oval's decision.
Speaking to CEO Alan Mulally after Ford's Go Further event in Sydney, Australian site Go Auto reports that the decision was not one made lightly, and that the automaker is doing everything possible to respect the Falcon and Territory's "stakeholders." It's an interesting piece that shows a softer side of a corporation, while demonstrating that Ford is doing everything in its power to make the end of production as smooth as possible for all parties.
Head over to Go Auto for the full series of remarks from Mulally, and then let us know what you think of Ford's handling of the Falcon and Territory discontinuations, in Comments.
Ford shows off V8-powered Ranger headed to Dakar Rally
Tue, 30 Jul 2013Avert your eyes now if you're jealous that the global version of the Ford Ranger is not offered in the US. Ford's midsize pickup is being tuned up to take on the 2014 Dakar Rally, and the result is a truck that is probably even cooler than any F-150 SVT Raptor we've ever seen in the States. Ford is actually building two versions of the truck for Dakar, which will run from January 5 through January 18, covering more than 5,000 miles from Argentina to Chile.
Starting with a fully composite body and a 5.0-liter V8 plucked from a Mustang, nearly every aspect of the trucks have been purpose built to take on the grueling race. This includes things like the six-speed sequential gearbox, liquid-cooled rear brakes and the 132-gallon fuel tank. As proof that Dakar is more about endurance than speed, the engines used in these race trucks will be limited to around 350 horsepower and 413 pound-feet of torque, and will max out at a top speed of just 105 miles per hour. Scroll down for Ford's official press release offering more information about the trucks and teams being prepped for Dakar.
Which is more fuel efficient, driving with a pickup's tailgate up or down?
Tue, 26 Aug 2014
Thanks to the smoke wand in the wind tunnel, you can actually see the difference in our video.
Should you drive with your pickup truck's tailgate up or down? It's an age-old controversy that's divided drivers for decades. Traditionalists will swear you should leave the tailgate down. Makes sense, right? It would seem to let the air flow more cleanly over the body and through the bed. But there's also a school of thought that argues trucks are designed to look and operate in a specific manner, and modern design techniques can help channel the airflow properly. So don't mess with all of that: Leave the tailgate up.
