Johnson Rod.  You didn’t do anything wrong.  Link posting in general is typically a good thing.  The site in which you posted the link for now installs ‘malicious’ software on the users computer when you go there but you had no idea of that without the proper software on your own computer in which to detect that.  If you don’t have programs on your end to alert you of this as it happens, then your own computer gets this software installed without your knowledge and ultimately creates problems.  Jim simply came across this by simply clicking on it and then deleted the link to protect the forum members.  If anyone wants to go to the site on their own, then at the very mininum they’ve been forewarned but at least it isn’t a direct link from this site.  Just think of Jim as our first line of defense against ‘cyber terrorism’.

Seppo,



Didn't take it personal, just wanted to know the WHY? so I didn't repeat the mistake. Never seen that before??



I've never had a problem with the Ranchwagon site and has some good info for Y-Blockers like installing a GM alternator...

Johnson Rod, I think Jim did that because in some sites there is programs that try to install screen savers or other stuff on every computer that opens those sites. It's annoying and it's better to keep those of from these sites.

So nothing personal...

Jim,



Not sure what that means, but I didn’t mean any harm. I was just posting a picture of a Supercharged '56 Parklane.



Did I break the rules by posting another sites url? I've seen this site referred to in the past on this site, in fact I believe it used to be on your links page??



Could you explain so I don't make that mistake again??

The Ranchero I saw was in Mustangs & Fords magazine and it was red.

This auction would have been nice to visit...

Very cool car,but since it is a 56 it cant be a unit installed from the factory.

Still awesome machine.

The url was removed as it is pointing to a page that will install malicious software to your computer. Sorry to have to do it but we don't allow it.

There was an F code Ranchero pictured in, I believe, Collectible Automobiles magazine 2-3 years ago.  Also, several years ago I sold, for a friend, his F powered D code wagon drag car.  It went to California, the buyer supposedly had an F Ranchero with the wrong engine.  The wagon ended up in the East without the F engine.  One would assume that the wagon's engine ended up in the Ranchero.

I saw a F code Ranchero sold on auction in Wisconsin years ago. This was a on the ground rusted ouf hulk and it sold for about 120+K. It has a FE installed.It included a original set of heads, parts block and a Series 1 supercharger (sandcast housing)  brackets for a VR57 and a bunch of parts. Was bought by some one in the Minneapolis Minn. area. Several months later I believe the Ranchero was advertized in Hemmings for the bid ammount. About the only thing good on the Ranchero was the Data plate. Really Really rough.
