Here is a 1960 Ford Ranchero with a 6 cylinder Ford engine and automatic transmission. The vehicle originally had a standard transmission and was in the middle of being refitted with the automatic, so the column shifty and clutch pedal are still installed. The previous owner assured me the motor and transmission were good, but I have not started it to see for myself. I bought this two years ago with the intention of either using it as parts car for my other Ranchero, also listed, or eventually restoring it, but so far I haven't been able to get there from here....  Even though it's a California vehicle and there isn't much in the way of rust, the floors are a different story, and they will need to be replaced as the previous owners put in really crappy patch panels throughout. Actually, the vehicle was donated to a local high school auto shop near San Diego and the floors were completely cut out and replaced with galvanized steel, but they will need to be completely cut out if you intend this for anything other than a parts vehicle. Full floors are readily available on ebay and various aftermarket suppliers, so there is no problem there.   The vehicle is mostly complete with all the big stuff and has very good sheet metal front to rear. It is an original Southern California vehicle, so rust isn't much of an issue with this Ranchero.  To a New Englander or Mid-Westerner, this is a completely rust-free vehicle. To a Southwesterner, this may have a little rust....  There is a little rust bubbling through over the driver's side window on the roof as shown in the photo. The only other significant body damage is at the very right rear of the vehicle below the tail light. The rear quarter was pushed in just a tad bit, but it's a bit hard to see in the photo. The front windshield and rear window are missing, and the dash wiring was removed while at the high school auto shop. The hood hinges are missing as well. I have a big container of parts, pictured, which will go with this sale. The driveline is complete including drive shaft, but I don't have a shifter for the newly installed automatic transmission.  This Ranchero has the original 13 inch wheels, but no spare. I also have another 1960 Ranchero listed separately, complete and running. Depending on how the auctions go, I am willing to do a 2 for 1 deal if you wish and I am primarily looking to clear these vehicles out to make more room. I am also willing to store this/these vehicles for a reasonable amount of time, so there is no immediate hurry to get them shipped out if you need time to work out shipping or pickup details. Shipping and/or pickup is entirely at the buyer's discretion, and I am available to help as needed.  Car rolls easily and won't be a problem for trailering as it is light and easily moved. I towed it 100 miles from San Diego using a car dolly, and all went well. In-person inspections are welcomed and recommended if possible. Questions?? Please ask!

Meet Floyd Pullin, 102-year-old honorary president of Ford trucks [w/video]

Wed, 28 Aug 2013

When we talk about trucks we often talk about how loyal truck owners are; it's men like Floyd Pullin who provide the proof. The 102-year-old man from Confluence, Pennsylvania has only owned Ford products since the 1920s, and he's done so well by Ford Trucks that the division named him honorary president for a day, not long after he took delivery of his latest ride, a 2013 F-150 STX.
That's the 16th Ford he's owned. If he bought his first when he was 16, he'd have flipped into a new car or truck about every five years. For 86 years. Not a bad run of business for either side.
Ford Trucks made a video to wish Pullin a happy birthday, which was celebrated at his local Ford dealership and was visited by a Pennsylvania state senator. You can watch it below.

How Ford switched gears for the all-new F-150

Fri, Mar 6 2015

Editor's Note: This story is authored by Julia Halewicz, a senior editor with AOL's Custom Solutions Group. She holds a Masters in Journalism from NYU and has spent her career as an editor of various newspapers, magazines and digital outlets. Last year on the Friday before Labor Day, the 2014 Ford F-150 pickup truck came off the Dearborn assembly line for the last time. After the last seam was welded, the F-150 that had been so beloved by American consumers would begin the transition from traditional steel manufacturing to an aluminum body, and the second phase of Ford's 2007 blueprint for sustainability would begin. Jobs would be created, and Ford would deliver a stronger product to its consumers. It was a moment Ford would call the biggest in the company's 111-year history. Breaking The Mold For some, the change was almost unfathomable. How could a truck be made with aluminum, and why change what clearly was working very well for the company? "We have a saying at Ford that leaders lead," said Doug Scott, the company's truck group marketing manager. "This was an ideal product to make with aluminum-alloy, because lightweighting made so much sense for a truck, because the extent to which you could take weight out of a truck, you could add more value to the customer in terms of more towing, more payload, more durability, more efficiency – so again all this required us to be out in front further out in front that we normally would be to make sure that we would deliver on all those expectations." Ford began the planning process about five years before the first aluminum F-150 would come to market. The company had a lot of questions. What was customer acceptance of aluminum, could they build the truck, and could the truck be repaired out in the field? Finally, Ford needed to determine if there were enough materials available to support the demand for the F-Series. Aluminum vehicles aren't unusual, but had never been built on the scale of the F-150 – approximately one every minute. Ford created two prototypes to determine if the product would meet and exceed consumer expectations. Any change to the vehicle had to be justified in performance, safety and economy. An aluminum truck needed to be safer, lighter, have increased payload, haul more, and have improved fuel efficiency. After driving the prototypes, Ford knew it was ready to move forward. Once the aluminum truck was ready to build, the next challenge was quickly transforming the plant.

MyFord Touch getting second update, extended warranty

Wed, 28 Nov 2012

There is no doubt that Ford has had its hands full fielding complaints with its MyFord Touch and MyLincoln Touch systems these days, but looking to keep its customers happy, Ford is once again upgrading its infotainment systems and extending the warranties. Despite having just sent out updates for its systems back in March, Automotive News says that customers are still complaining about the speed and ease of use.
Vehicles with MyFord Touch will now get a five-year, unlimited-mile warranty, while the MyLincoln Touch will have a six-year, unlimited-mile warranty. Previously, the systems were covered under basic warranties (three-year, 36,000-mile for Ford and four-year, 60,000-miles for Lincoln).
What is being referred to as "version 3.5" for the MyFord Touch and MyLincoln Touch systems will be mailed out (or downloaded) next month for owners of cars without navigation and in January for cars with nav. Owners of hybrids, plug-ins and electric vehicles will get the update sometime in the first quarter of next year.
