1959 Ford Fairlane 500 Ranchero Rat Rod Project Sb 302 C4 Tranny Custom Must See on 2040-cars
Fremont, California, United States

Unfortunatly I have to sell my 1959 Ranchero. Has a small block 302 with C4 tranny. The Ranchero was running great until the first rain came. Apparently Ford had a design flaw, when water gets into the bed, it drains into spare tire well and the drains to the top of the gas tank where it sit with no where to go. so long story short..the gas tank was rusted out and a bunch of water go into the tank. they do sell repops but was not willing to spend 600+ on a new tank (490 for tank and 180 oversize shipping). So I was in the process of putting in a new Jaz fuel cell. I flushed out fuel lines and got a new fuel pump. I'm also getting a new upper radiator hose, came with wrong size. Has new Edelbrock carb, also has Mallory electronic ignition distributer and Mallory ignition box. Has headers with dual exhaust and glass packs. It will come with clean uncut dash and a brand new power brake kit and new front shocks and new rear air shocks, also have an extra grill and a bunch of other new parts to go with. It does have rear quarter panel rust on both sides but I do have new replaement panels for both sides and I will also include rear skirts. Has newer Coker tires and has been lowered already. Its not in the pics but I do have the the bed floor. The only thing the Ranchero needs is the fuel cell to be hooked up, basically need to make the hold down straps add gas and go. again, it was running great before water got into gas tank drove to modesto and stockton a few times no problem. Only reason for selling is because I need more down payment funds for a house. Again..this was a great runner before water got into tank. I will still continue to work on when I can until end of auction but my time is a bit limited. I should have fuel pump and radiator hose installed and I will work on getting some hold down straps done for the gas tank. PLEASE PLEASE feel free to ask questions!!!

How Ford secretly used customers to test its aluminum F-150 [w/video]
Fri, 30 May 2014Automakers getting clever about disguising development vehicles isn't anything new. Between mules wearing the sheetmetal of other cars and prototypes decked out in as much camouflage as is practical, automakers know how to make it very difficult for the general public to get an exact idea of what kind of vehicle is in development. Ford, though, is rapidly becoming the master.
We knew that the Blue Oval originally tested the durability of the aluminum construction being used for the 2015 F-150 by building an all-aluminum 2014 truck and entering it in the Baja 1000 off-road race. That's no longer a secret. What we didn't know, though, is that the aluminum development dates back to before even that, and that some of the people in question had no idea what it was they were working with.
Ford says this is the first time prototypes have ever been handed over to the public.
Former Ford CEO Alan Mulally lands on Google board
Wed, 16 Jul 2014Former Ford CEO Alan Mulally often referred to the Blue Oval as a technology company when he led the automaker. Now he'll be offering guidance to a different kind of technology firm: Google.
Mulally was appointed to Google's board of directors July 9, and late Tuesday, it was announced that he will serve on the company's audit committee. The veteran executive led Ford from September 2006 until he retired in June, succeeded by Mark Fields.
While Mulally will act as a board member - rather than in a managerial role - his presence adds credibility to Google's recently announced plans to produce an autonomous car. The ambitious program calls for 100 prototypes to begin testing later this summer. Production of the car is rumored to be in collaboration with a Detroit area performance company, Roush.
Stock Miata beats bunch of high-powered cars in wet 1/4-mile drag race
Thu, 06 Jun 2013When is a stock, 167-horsepower Mazda MX-5 Miata quicker than a Chevrolet Corvette, Ford Mustang, Lamborghini Gallardo, Lotus Elise and a Porsche 911? When it's raining. Sort of.
Mazda Canada arranged a unique drag race to show off the fact that the Miata's optional power retractable folding hardtop can go from top-down to top-up in just 12 seconds flat. In this video, all six cars line up for a drag race, and it starts to rain (well, sort of - but you'll have to watch the video all the way to the end to see what we mean). The green flag is waved, and the timer starts as soon as the convertibles begin to put their tops up. But because the Miata's roof mechanism gets the car's roof back up a full 5.1 seconds quicker than the second-place car, the Mazda gets a serious advantage off the line for the actual drag race.
It's a fun video. And while we've spoiled the results (come on, the video was uploaded by Mazda, you knew the Miata was going to win), be sure to see how it all unfolds, below.
