1962 Ford Ranchero on 2040-cars
Port Haywood, Virginia, United States
"NO RESERVE" listing, but note that the winning bidder will have $60.00 added to the final bid to pay for the ebay fees. Sorry, but listing cars is expensive! Rare, solid project car. We have the title in hand. Would be a great platform to restore, customize, or turn into a "Rat Rod". (Even had one guy who wanted to turn this into a hybrid vehicle!) Please note the car DOES NOT currently run, but the engine is not frozen and will turn over with a breaker bar on the crank bolt. Not the original engine, but a larger, 200 inline six was installed at some point. (originally came with a 144 inline six) The generator and starter motor are missing. The car currently is partially disassembled, but everything that was taken off of the car is present, and any hardware was bagged and labeled. Outer steering column sleeve, steering wheel, gauge cluster, have been removed and we have them all. Both front fenders are off the car, (straight, solid, and clean) along with the windshield trim, headlights & surrounds, tail lights & buckets/lenses, grill and rear/front bumpers and filler panel. The rear tailgate has been damaged, but could easily be repaired with a little effort & know how and is off of the car. The interior has been stripped, and the included seats are not original, but we have one door panel and everything else that we removed. I will include pictures of the car when I first bought it and the rest of how it looks now. My son and I were working on the car but health issues, and lack of funds, and my son discovering girls, have stalled the project. We'd like the car to get the attention and love it deserves. We have several boxes of parts, the car is 95% present. (Likely more, but we're being conservative) VERY little rust for it's age and model. These cars have a reputation to rust and rot out, but this one is amazingly solid. The rocker panels are perfect, and the doors line up and open and close smoothly. The passenger door does not latch properly, as the mechanism needs repair. Glass is present and in good shape. The bed is straight and clean. The floor boards have one small rust hole, about the diameter of a pencil, on the driver's side. Also have a model specific wiring guide booklet, which is quite detailed and informative. Will also include several parts catalogs if the new owner wants them. Again, a solid platform to restore, customize, or what have you. The tires are old bias ply and not in good shape at all. (we have all five original rims) Think the back tires will hold air long enough to load on a dolly or trailer, etc. If you have any questions please feel free to contact us via ebay. Shipping is the sole responsibility of the new buyer but I'll assist as I'm able with logistics, etc. I reserve the right to end the auction early, with or without bids, as I have the car listed for sale locally and have had a lot of interest. You won't be disappointed! Car MUST be paid for in full within 7 business days of auction's end or listing's end. Paypal for the deposit is fine, and a $200.00 deposit is due within 24 hours of auction's end. The balance due within the timeframe stated above. Cash, check, is acceptable for payment, but the car will NOT leave here until fully and completely paid in full and all funds have cleared. I will consider any "Buy It Now" offer over $1100.00 prior to any bids being placed, but no "low ball" offers, please. I'm not trying to get rich off of this car, but she is rare, and hard to find one not all rotted to pieces and this complete. I have described the car to the best of my ability, and I'm an honest seller, so please don't waste your, or my, time if you won't/can't complete the transaction in a timely fashion. Good luck and bid to win! Again, feel free to ask any questions... |

A 1985 Ford Escort for $915,000? If it was owned by Princess Diana
Sun, Sep 3 2023What makes a used car worth more than the car itself? If it was owned by John Lennon. Or Muhammad Ali. Michael Schumacher, perhaps, or Stirling Moss. This year’s edition from the Hagerty organization of its “Power List” makes for amusing reading even if youÂ’re not on it. But you can make believe that you are. Essentially, the list, which was launched only last year, tracks the impact of celebrity ownership of a vehicle on its value, as measured by its worth at auction. Nearly 400 sales of celebrity cars and bikes have been analyzed from around the world by Hagerty using market data and “expert” analytics. Hagerty is aware, certainly, that famous folks — from royalty, sports, movies and music — grab gobs of attention from ordinary people. ThatÂ’s why the 2023 Power List comprises these categories: Art Cars, Racing Drivers, Movies and TV, Musicians, Royalty, Screen Stars, Sporting Icons. But you don't have to be a rock star or a F1 pilot to get listed: Princess Diana, besides an Escort Turbo RS that she owned between 1985 and 1988, numbered a convertible 1994 Audi 80 Cabriolet and a Jaguar XJS Cabriolet among her rides. HereÂ’s a look at some of the more notable entries: Racing driver category: In pole position was an unlikely titleholder, a 1976 Ford Bronco. This was the car bought new by legendary Canadian Formula 1 driver Gilles Villeneuve and untouched since his death; it sold at the Aguttes auction in Paris last December for $148,000, a huge 210% increase over the $47,800 that Hagerty would value a regular example in the same condition. Just a note: The list doesnÂ’t include race cars, only vehicles kept privately by the drivers. Musicians: A 1974 Rolls-Royce Silver Shadow had been Freddie MercuryÂ’s personal chauffeur-driven transport from 1979 until his death in 1991. Without celebrity ownership, Hagerty would value the Silver Shadow at a lowly $9,500, a car that would take a lot of time, effort and money to restore properly. But add in MercuryÂ’s aura and bids ended at $362,500. “ItÂ’s no surprise that MercuryÂ’s car dominated our Musicians list on the 2023 Hagerty Power List,” the company said. Movies and TV: For those readers now emerging from hibernation since 1968, the news is that the historic Highland Green Mustang from “Bullitt” remains at the top of the Power List for the second year running.
This 2,000-hp Mustang is in serious need of wheelie bars
Tue, 25 Feb 2014The Ford Mustang on the right is drag racing with the standard technique. The Mustang on the left, driven by David Measell, is using a new "rear bumper only" technique that evidently surprised everyone at the South Georgia Motorsports Park strip - including Measell.
Measell said his outfit just bought the car the week before the event, noting that it has more than 2,000 horsepower. Speaking of his "flying" run, Measell said, "We turned it up to dip on down," by which he meant they turned up the power in order to get his time down. Turns out all that power and all that traction sent the nose straight up into the air almost as soon as the race began.
He told an interviewer afterward that this was his first race in a "regular car" since he normally drives a pro-mod. "I like my wheelie bars," he concluded. You can see how he got there in the video below.
Ken Block's 1965 Ford Mustang Hoonicorn RTR and CR Supercars Villain are retro done right
Wed, 05 Nov 2014Gymkhana king Ken Block has had a pretty simple car history in his trademark videos, starting out with Subaru Impreza rally cars before moving into Ford Focus racers for the past four installments. His next video, though, Gymkhana Seven, kind of goes back in time.
Rather than the cutting-edge rally racers of past videos, Block will pilot a heavily modified 1965 Ford Mustang, called the Hoonicorn. How heavily modified is it? Well, Block's Hooligan Racing Division, ASD Motorsports and Vaughn Gittin Jr.'s RTR, spent two years working on it, ditching the standard engine and rear-wheel-drive layout and replacing it with a 410-cubic-inch Roush Yates V8. Yes, that's a NASCAR engine, and it produces 845 horsepower.
A NASCAR-powered Mustang would be news in itself, but it's the other powertrain changes made by Block and Co. that really makes headlines. Power is channeled through a one-off Sadev transmission and all-wheel-drive system, meaning that Block has basically married a NASCAR stock car with a WRC racer. ASD also developed the customized suspension, tubular chassis and roll cage. The wide Mustang body is the work of RTR and Block's own Hoonigan Racing Division, while the 18-inch fifteen52 wheels are shod in Pirelli Trofeo R tires that use a specialized compound exclusive to Block.
