You are bidding on a very rare 1970 Ford Ranchero GT with its original 'M code' 351 Cleveland 4bbl high performance engine. I am listing this car for a friend that doesn't use a computer much. His name is Gene, and I would recommend calling him directly for questions since it is his car. 541-973-1962. They only made 3,905 GT's this year. About half came with the Cleveland. This car is a barn find that runs and drives. New brake shoes and spring kit on rear, plus new disc pads in the front, as well as a new master cylinder. It may still need a new booster for the brakes to work well. This car is an original A/C car. The compressor is off, but is included. The body is very straight overall. Paint is shiny, but has enough chips and scratches to warrant a respray. I would put it back to the original color which is just under this one layer of paint. Dash cluster needs replaced, and the car comes with a good one. There is a small dent in the right rear, and that tail light has some damage, but there is a good one that goes with the car.

· 351 Cleveland Holley four barrel carb
· FMX Automatic Transmission
· Ford 9" rear end
· Power steering, Power disc Brakes, A/C car
· True M Code GT car
· Nice extra Dash Cluster included
· Nice extra Front Bumper
· Original color was Grabber Green
· Remote adjust side mirror
· Dual exhaust W/ full length headers - needs new gaskets
· Lights, turn signals all work
· Needs windshield wiper motor
· New shoes, disc pads and Master Cylinder
· Glass and trim in nice shape all around

For more info call Gene @ 541-973-1962

This Ranchero would be a great car you could drive and restore at the same time. The collector value can only go up on such a low production, popular classic. I am selling a 1966 Ranchero that I personally restored that is also listed on E-bay right now. As with any used car it will be sold "as-is", and will come with a clear, numbers matching Oregon state title. The car will need to be paid for within 7 days of auction ending. Checks will need time to clear before car is picked up. Again, I am only the middleman on this car, so give Gene a call if you would like to know more. Thanks

How Ford's light lab keeps the sun shining on the new Mustang just right [w/video]

Thu, 02 Jan 2014

Anyone who's bought one of those old school metal shift knobs knows they're really cool until they sit in a parking lot in the sun for a few hours. Then they're not cool at all. Likewise, features such as the aluminum dash on the 2015 Ford Mustang can be all kinds of neat right up until the sun hits it just the right way and sends shards of blinding light through the cabin. The Ford Visual Performance and Evaluation Lab is where engineers figure out how to make sure that doesn't happen.
Cars like said Mustang are parked inside the 30-foot reflecting dome under 6,000 watts of lights that can mimic the sun at any time of day and in any weather condition. Engineers can then spend cold, overcast days inside, testing for interior legibility, glare and reflections on every interior and exterior surface as if it were bright and sunny. They can also learn how a car's sheetmetal and colors will look out of doors, all year round.
Ford showed off the lighting lab without the music and interviews three years ago when the Explorer was being prepared. You can watch it at work again in the video below, and read about it in the press release below that.

2014 Ford Fiesta 1.0L EcoBoost

Fri, 09 May 2014

I'll be honest; when Ford first unveiled its 3.5-liter EcoBoost V6, I was skeptical. Past attempts at building turbocharged American cars were almost universally awful, I reasoned, so why would Ford's latest effort be any different? This may seem foolish today, considering the success that the growing EcoBoost range has achieved - particularly the 2.0-liter and 1.6-liter mills. Yet I once again found myself questioning Ford.
It's the makeup of the 1.0-liter, turbocharged three-cylinder slotted into the compact engine bay of this Fiesta that has a way of breeding doubt. Three-cylinder engines remain an extreme rarity in the US. What's more, they earned a less-than-desirable reputation for applications in the 1980s and 1990s, and my trepidation about this latest three-pot as a result.
As I found out, though, history is a poor informant of modern technology. The thrust available in other cars with the EcoBoost badge on the back has not gone missing here; something the International Engine of the Year committee has lauded. That august body named the 1.0-liter Ecoboost the best engine of 2012 and 2013. After a week of driving, it didn't take long for my fear of threes to get turned into something like that line of thinking.

J Mays on the 2015 Ford Mustang

Thu, 05 Dec 2013

J Mays, head of design at Ford, may be retiring from the company after 16 years, but not before showing the world his swan song: the 2015 Mustang. Ford officially revealed its new coupe and convertible to the public at events around the world on Thursday, including a live unveiling on ABC's Good Morning America, and Mays was in attendance at the automaker's home event in Dearborn, MI, which is where we caught up with him for a few words about his new baby.
"It's a joy" to design the Mustang, Mays told Autoblog, adding that this sixth-generation coupe is his "favorite design so far." Of course, the 2015 model takes cues from all of the generations that came before it, but Mays said it was important to edit down the specific elements from previous models, leaving just enough off to let the customer "participate and fill in the blanks."
"If it doesn't sell itself, you probably aren't a Mustang fan."
