You are bidding on a 1971 Ford Ranchero 500 which came from the factory finished in Ford's best color, Calypso Coral. It has been repainted once over the original paint in a slightly brighter shade of red which still shines and looks very nice. In my opinion 1970 and 1971 were the pinnacle years for Ranchero and it's cousin, the Torino.

Here are some specific details:

-Factory H-code V8 car

-Rebuilt 1968 Torino GT 302 4v high compression performance engine featuring mild cam, 4v high-rise intake, Edelbrock carb, and headers; approximately 12K miles on rebuild

-Rebuilt 9" 3.50:1 Traction Lock rear end approximately 12K miles ago

-C4 automatic transmission and floor shifter

-Dual exhaust

-Power steering and power brakes

-Bench seat interior with black upholstery, door panels, and new carpet kit installed

-Chrome trim, stainless steel trim, and glass are all in good driver-quality condition

-New chrome Magnum 500 wheels with excellent Grand Am radial tires

-Power steering and power brakes with front discs

-GT hood

-Dual outside chrome racing mirrors

-Hideaway headlamp grill *(missing headlamp doors and mechanism; car ships with a nice standard grill as well)

The Ranchero runs very strong and drives out well. While not perfect, it's reliable enough to get in and drive across the country.

The paint is what I'd call a 15-20 footer; looks good, shines well, but demonstrates some cracks, blemishes, and other age issues on close examination. Still shines like mad in the sun and gets lots of attention!

The body is very straight overall, with only minor evidence of rust beginning to show in the rear wheel well area.

I've priced the car fairly so someone can enjoy a cool, reliable, and good-looking classic without breaking the bank. While every effort is being made to describe the car accurately, please keep in mind that it is a 42-year-old vehicle, and being sold as-is, without warranty expressed or implied.

Please feel free to call me with any specific questions you may have at 360-936-9257.

Shipping is the full responsibility of the buyer, however, I will make myself available to your shipper for pickup and loading. Payment is to be made within 3 days of auction end by certified major bank cashier's check, bank wire transfer, or cash. Zero-feedback bidders, please contact me prior to bidding to let me know you're a real buyer with good intentions.

The 11 most expensive American cars ever

Tue, 12 Aug 2014

Here's a Pro Tip for all you would-be classic car investors out there: buy Ferraris. With the Pebble Beach festivities kicking off this week, including any number high end car auctions, we thought it would be entertaining to compile a list of some to the most expensive cars ever sold with the bang of a gavel. Trouble is, once you get past the splendor of everyone's favorite Italian sports car maker, that list is pretty boring.
Ferrari dominates the all-time auction sales list; seven of the top ten most expensive cars sold wear the Cavallino Rampante badge, as well as more than half of the top fifty. Sure, a nearly $30-million Mercedes-Benz W196 racecar might be the new top dog as of last year, but it's even possible that Ferrari could take that title back in Monterey this weekend. Long story short: we think a list of the most expensive American cars ever sold at auction is a lot more entertaining to read. Hell, our list has a friggin' Batmobile on it, how can it go wrong?
Follow on below for the top ten cars that are red, white, blue and a whole lot of green.

Long winter means most automakers won't curb summer shutdown

Sun, 18 May 2014

A lot more happened during this latest brutal winter than days of snow and Netflix binges. Automotive sales took a battering. After all, going out car shopping when it's eleventy-billion degrees below zero isn't a good time.
Because of this Old Man Winter-induced sales slump, inventories are abnormally high as we head into the summer car buying season. That's led some analysts to predict that automakers will be more inclined to idle factories this summer, in a bid to trim some of the built-up inventory. Traditionally, American manufacturers offer up a two-week break in the middle of summer, although the burgeoning sales of the past few years have seen this practice become less popular.
"We're likely not going to see an acceleration this year," Jeff Schuster, a senior vice president at LMC Automotive, told The Detroit News. "We'll see production increases in 'pockets' but I don't know if it will be as widespread as in recent years."
