1965 Ford Falcon Rancharo Deluxe. Milage 4708. I purchased this car in Feb. 2013 and this is the story that was told to me. This car was purchased new at Thompson Ford in Stillwater Okla. in Sept. 1965 by a lady named Barbara Hicks for her fiance ( name unknown) , and co-signed by her father. It seems after a couple weeks the said fiance showed less and less interest in the impending nuptials, and after running up a gas bill of over $200.00 dollars at a local gas station , also in Barbara's name( gas being about $.30 a gallon in 1965). The father decided to locate the gentleman and retrieve the vehicle , ( which in Okla. in 1965 might have included a good old country ass whup'n). Anyway, he located him in Guthrie Okla. and brought the car back to Stillwater. This is a factory C code car which means that it came with a 289 cu inch. engine (2V) with a 2 barrel carburetor, but it had a duel line Holly with a factory Ford aluminum 4 barrel intake which means that the dealership must have upgraded this engine. Needless to say this car is not going to get any milage over 10, and so Barbara must have realized this and parked the car behind her house under a pecan tree where it stayed for the next 40 years. This story was told to me my the next owner, Ed Whitehead, a very interesting character in in his own right with a lifetime of great stories to tell. Ed owns and runs "Ed Muffler and Tire Center" at 2929 Perkins Rd. Stillwater Ok. and gave me permission to pass along this story. Ed, to me seems to be in his 80's and an all around do anything kinda guy still very active in his businesses. He tells that sometime in 1999 he was doing some work for Barbara's neighbor and spotted the Rancharo in her backyard and inquired to her if the Ford was for sale. She said that he could have the car if he would build her a carport, so the deal was struck. Ed completed the job, but it seemed Barbara had second thoughts for some reason and reneged on the deal but paid him for his services. Time passed and sometime in 2006 Ed received a call from Barbara and ask if he was still interested in the little Ford. It seemed that Barbara was a heavy smoker and was suffering from lung cancer and had accumulated considerable medical bills. He was, and purchased the the car. Now I can tell you that I saw photos of Ed dragging the car out from under the pecan tree. Ed rebuilt the brakes and muffler system and replaced parts and drove the car a short while and also didn't like the gas milage and parked it at his business soon after. The milage reads, 4709 as of today and Ed swears that the milage is accurate. I hope that only truly interested buyers look up Ed's phone number and inquires about this story. This car still has a few dings and wrinkles and I'm not advertising it as a perfect show car, but it still get a lot of attention when it goes by.The Buy-it now price will include the Holly carburetor and manifold that I replaced with correct equipment.

2022 GMC Hummer EV No. 001 at Barrett-Jackson brings $2.5 million
Mon, Mar 29 2021This year's Barrett-Jackson auction in Scottsdale, Ariz., played host to a bunch of the first examples of hot new cars: VIN No. 001 of the 2022 GMC Hummer EV, 2022 Cadillac CT5-V Blackwing and CT4-V Blackwing, 2021 Ford Bronco, 2021 Ford Mustang Mach 1 and 2021 Ram 1500 TRX. Every single one of them sold for more than six figures, with all the proceeds of nearly $5 million going to charities, but the big winner was absolutely the Hummer with a hammer price of $2.5 million. The Bronco did nicely, too, with a selling price of $1,075,000. You can see the list of the sale prices from highest to lowest of these first examples below. GMC Hummer EV: $2,500,000 Ford Bronco: $1,075,000 Ford Mustang Mach 1: $500,000 Ram 1500 TRX Launch Edition: $410,000 Cadillac CT5-V Blackwing: $265,000 Cadillac CT4-V Blackwing: $165,000 Despite the Hummer going for $2.5 million, it wasn't the most expensive car to cross the block. That honor goes to a 1966 Shelby Cobra 427 Super Snake that was once owned by Carroll Shelby himself. It sold for $5.5 million, the same price it sold for back in 2007. Nearly as pricey as the Hummer was a restored, numbers-matching 1967 Ferrari 275 GTB/4 that went for $2,475,000. Related video:
Junkyard Gem: 1991 Mercury Capri
Mon, Sep 19 2016Ford has gotten a lot of use out of the Capri name in the United States. First, there was the Lincoln Capri in the 1950s, followed by the Ford Capri Mk1 (which was sold by Mercury dealers in the USA but never actually badged as a Mercury). Then came the 1979-1986 Mercury Capri, built on the very successful Fox Platform and essentially a clone of the Mustang. Finally, in 1991, the Australian Ford Capri came to the United States. Here is an example of this rare car that I spotted in a Northern California self-service yard not long ago. Mechanically speaking, the 1991-1994 Capri was a Mazda 323 under the skin, complete with a member of the same B-series engine family that went into such cars as the Miata and Ford Escort. So, for a few years in the early 1990s, car shoppers who wanted a sporty Mazda convertible could choose between a Miata and a Capri. The Capri had front-wheel-drive, but could be had with factory turbocharging. These cars were reliable and fun, but had a tough time competing with the Miata in the showroom battles. You'll see the occasional example now and then, but most of the 1991-1994 Capris have met the same fate that awaits this one. Related Video:
Ford ending Focus, C-Max production in Michigan after 2018
Thu, Jul 9 2015Ford will no longer produce the Focus and C-Max at its Michigan Assembly Plant in Wayne, MI, beyond 2018. United Auto Workers vice president Jimmy Settles confirmed this in a letter Thursday, which was posted on Twitter. According to the UAW Ford Department's tweet, production of the Focus and C-Max will shift to Mexico. Ford isn't confirming this, though – a spokesperson tells Autoblog, "We didn't say that." Instead, Ford issued the following statement about the matter: We will move production of the next-generation Ford Focus and C-Max, which currently are built at Michigan Assembly Plant, beginning in 2018. We actively are pursuing future vehicle alternatives to produce at Michigan Assembly and will discuss this issue with UAW leadership as part of the upcoming negotiations. Earlier this year, Ford announced layoffs of 700 employees at the Michigan Assembly Plant, citing slow sales of both the Focus and C-Max. The MAP was once heralded as a flexible, futuristic facility when it was retooled for C-segment car production in 2009. Prior to that, the Ford Expedition and Lincoln Navigator SUVs were built at the Wayne facility. It also produced the iconic Ford Bronco. The future of the MAP is uncertain, but the UAW remains hopeful. In Settles' letter, he writes, "We are extremely confident that a new product commitment will be secured during the upcoming 2015 negotiations and that the Michigan Assembly Plant will maintain a full production schedule."
