First year for the Ranchero, a rare find. Has approximately 26,000 miles, true mileage unknown but I drive it daily so it's bound to change. The color of the outside is not original but the inside is which is green. I just drive around town and it drives fine. I have had a new fuel pump and filter installed as well as a new carburetor, cleaned out the fuel lines and boiled and coated the original gas tank and installed a new fuel float. I still have the old carburetor which we rebuilt but it runs better with the new carb. New correct sized battery with new electronic ignition and new distributor cap, also installed new spark plugs. New Dyna Max muffler setup from the headers back with dual chrome tips. Rebuilt original two speed transmission and it runs and shifts fine. New water pump. New brake shoes, brake hose lines and hardware kit. Also upgraded to a dual master cylinder brake booster. New oil pump, filter and oil of course. The headlight bulbs have been changed to halogen to see better at night. The radio works, the clock works intermittently, the windshield wipers work but the heater does not work and the horn works. The bed rails are period correct and look nice on the truck and the hubcaps are original. I think I bought the car from the son of the original owner. I tried to show as best I could where the rust and paint peeling is in the pics I have more pictures, so just ask to see them and I will send them. There is some rust on the bottom of the rear fenders, behind the drivers door near the rocker. There is bondo showing through the paint in front of the driver side rear fender and the floor panels are pitted but relatively solid. Also in the rear fender well on the passenger side rear there is about a 3 inch spot. Most of the rust spots are less than 3-4 inches except maybe behind the rear wheels. Paint is peeling on several spots throughout the car most notably the tops of the roof and around the head lights and rear fender fins. The hood and doors shut but could use adjustment. I was going to rebuild the engine but was told by my mechanic it looked fine on the inside and from my driving it the past year I'd say he's right. It drives relatively straight on the highway and cruises well at 70. Just installed four new shocks so it sits higher than is shown in some of the pictures. The original radiator has been re-cored. All work was done by a mechanic so it's been done right. Please call 925-918-3389 with any and all questions before you bid. The car is available to look at in Pleasanton, California which would be a good idea so that you know what your getting. The car is sold as is. Any shipping will be the buyers responsibility, although I will do what I can to expedite the process.

Mixed sales results, but automaker stocks rise on need for cars in Houston
Fri, Sep 1 2017DETROIT — The Big Three Detroit automakers on Friday reported better-than-expected August sales and issued optimistic outlooks for demand as residents of the Houston area replace flood-damaged cars and trucks after Hurricane Harvey, sending their stocks higher. General Motors, Ford and Fiat Chrysler posted mixed August U.S. sales, with GM up 7.5 percent and Ford and Fiat Chrysler down. Japanese automaker Toyota improved sales by nearly 7 percent, while Honda fell 2.4 percent. Still, analysts focused on the potential for Detroit automakers to cut inventories and stabilize used vehicle prices as residents of Houston, the fourth largest city in the United States, are forced to replace tens of thousands, perhaps hundreds of thousands, of vehicles after the devastation from Hurricane Harvey. Mark LaNeve, Ford's U.S. sales chief, told analysts on Friday that following Hurricane Katrina in 2005 "we saw a very dramatic snapback" in demand. That said, Ford sales fell 2.1 percent in August. It sold 209,897 vehicles in the United States, compared with 214,482 a year earlier. Sales were down 1.9 percent in the Ford division and off 5.8 percent at Lincoln. Demand was down for cars, crossovers and SUVs. It was not clear how many vehicles in the Houston area will be scrapped, LaNeve said, saying he had seen estimates ranging from 200,000 to 400,000 to 1 million. Ford's Houston dealers may have lost fewer than 5,000 vehicles in inventory, he said. Ford is the No. 1 automaker in the Houston market, with 18 percent share, according to IHS Markit. The company plans to ship used vehicles to Houston dealers and has "every indication we would have to add some production" of new vehicles to meet demand, LaNeve said. Investor concerns about inventories of unsold vehicles and falling used car prices have weighed on Detroit automakers' shares most of this year. Now, automakers can anticipate a jolt of demand from a big market that is a stronghold for Detroit brand trucks and SUVs. "It's got to be a positive for the industry," LaNeve said. Investors appeared to agree. GM shares rose as much as 3.3 percent to their highest since early March. Ford increased 2.8 percent at $11.34, and Fiat Chrysler's U.S.-traded shares were up 5.2 percent $15.91, hitting their highest in more than five years. GM reported a 7.5 percent increase in U.S. auto sales in August, helped by robust sales of crossovers across its four brands.
Ford only automaker to make 2012 Buzz Rankings, Toyota most improved
Wed, 30 Jan 2013Ford landed itself a spot among the top 10 brands in the 2012 Buzz Rankings. The annual index scores 1,100 brands in 41 categories to determine which nameplates had the most positive buzz throughout the year.
For the third year in a row, Subway took the top honors overall with a score of 40.3, and Ford was the only automaker to break into the top 25 by earning a sixth-place finish overall. The manufacturer earned a score of 32.1 points, which was enough to push it up one spot from the 2011 Buzz Rankings. Honda managed 21.2 points overall, which is still well behind 25th-place Kohl's at 26.5 points. Toyota, Volkswagen and BMW all round out the top five automakers.
The 2012 Buzz Rankings also keep track of which brands improved the most over the past year, and this year, Toyota was the manufacturer with the largest leap forward. The Japanese automaker jumped from just 14 points in 2011 to 20.5 in 2012. Chrysler, Kia, Dodge and Volkswagen all saw sizable steps forward as well.

2015 Ford F-150 [w/videos]
Thu, 02 Oct 2014To learn more about the all-new 2015 F-150 and get an early read on its potential hero-or-zero status, we flew to the heart of full-size pickup truck country, San Antonio, TX, to spend a day driving, towing and playing in the mud with an assortment of Ford's innovative new trucks.
First, a caveat - while we feel we have a reasonably good handle on the new F-150 after attending this first-drive event, we are far from ready to pass definitive judgment on the success of this radically new rig. Our time in the various models was lamentably limited and we felt rushed. With so much at stake and with so much to talk about and experience, we had zero alone time with the vehicle - there were Ford folks shadowing us at every moment.
And we still don't know everything there is to know about the trucks, as Ford is withholding some of its most crucial numbers, including curb weight data and anticipated EPA fuel economy figures. We don't even have a firm on-sale date. All of this information is typically disclosed - or at least officially estimated - at the time of a new vehicle's first drive. This limits the scope of the judgments we feel comfortable making based on our first encounter.
