When the original owner of this 1963 Ranchero died, the family left it parked in the garage for several years. A man that was handicapped knew of the car and finally bought it when the family decided to sell the car. He moved it out of that garage and kept it in a garage where he lived. He could never obtain a driver license because of his handicap, but would go out and sit in the car and just start it and listen to the radio. The best I can figure, the car was garaged kept for over 25 years. The gentleman finally was told he had to move the car out of the garage and so it was moved out in the open and covered up with a blue tarp for about 3 years. The guardian of the gentleman finally got the man to agree to sell it so got it registered and running. I saw the Ranchero and bought it in 2004 before it was even advertised. It was a original 170 Cu In with a 3spd and bench seat. I located original Ranchero bucket seats and Mag wheels in a barn. I found the louvered hood in the Bay area on another 63 Ranchero, which I bought. When I got there, I found that it had another set of the same hard to find wheels. (The owner and restorer of the 63 Falcon Cayuse wanted to buy both sets from me) Before putting the hood on, with the help of friend/metal man, I formed a “scoop” out of metal and hammer welded it in. I have replaced the engine with a warmed up late model 200 with Aussie 2V head (Aussie heads are very rare now, even in Australia), bored, cam, header, Holley 2bbl, turned electronic ignition, MSD 6a box, master blaster coil, and a rebuilt Borg Warner T-10. The engine has approx 2,000 miles on it. The rest of the body is exactly how I found it except for the gas cap which has been moved to the inside of the bed and the new hood. The red rag is to excite the CHP. The dashboard has the original radio. I just finished rebuilding the entire front end, new springs, a-arms, idler arm, etc, putting in the Mustang steering box, the Flaming River steering column, new dash insert and gauges, and rewired the car. I have a Scarebird 4 lug disc brake conversion which is complete but not installed. I wanted to keep the 4 lug pattern because of the wheels and their scarcity. The car is rust free. It is titled in California. I have 90% of all receipts for parts and work done on the car. The car comes with many extra parts, such as a perfect tailgate, another grille, two stock hoods, and many other parts to numerous to mention. If anyone is interested or needs more information or pictures, send me your phone number and or email address. I will answer any and all questions and take any pictures desired. The car is located in Auberry, CA. Buyer to pick up or ship at his expense.

Airbag recall widens to include BMW, Chrysler, Ford and Toyota
Mon, 23 Jun 2014The recall of faulty airbag inflators supplied by Takata has exploded today to grow to seven automakers. In most cases, only models in certain high-humidity regions were affected because the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration found in its investigation that moisture played a roll in determining whether there would be a problem. However, some companies opted for national campaigns. The exact number of affected models for these campaigns isn't yet known at this time.
BMW is recalling an undisclosed number of 325i, 325Xi, 330i and 330Xi models from the 2001 through 2005 model years and the 2001-2006 model year versions of the 325Ci and 330Ci for the driver side and passenger side inflators. Only vehicles currently registered in Florida, Puerto Rico, Hawaii and the US Virgin Islands are covered under this recall.
Neither Chrysler's filing with NHTSA nor its press release list the specific models affected, but a company spokesperson told Autoblog that at this time it only covers the driver and passenger side inflators for the 2006 Dodge Charger in Florida, Puerto Rico, Hawaii and the US Virgin Islands
2015 Mustang-based Saleen S302 to boast as much as 640 hp
Tue, 23 Sep 2014The Ford Mustang is obviously a famous performance vehicle in its own right, but it often works even better as a platform for the aftermarket to upgrade. With the all-new 2015 model just now hitting the scene, the famous tuners at Saleen are getting their improvements for the new pony car ready for the world. After recently teasing it, the specs for its fresh S302 model are officially here, along with a first look at it in profile.
Of course, the biggest question on everyone's mind is how much power the company can get from the Mustang's V8. With the 2015 V8 model rated at 435 horsepower and 400 pound-feet, Saleen expects to bump the Ford factory numbers slightly to 450 hp and 410 lb-ft in naturally aspirated form, or with the benefit of a supercharger, it will rocket the engine's output figures to 640 hp and 565 lb-ft. No matter which powerplant a buyer chooses, there are a wide variety of available final-drive ratios with a six-speed manual or automatic gearbox.
Available as either a coupe or convertible forms, Saleen will offer its S302 in three trim levels - White Label, Yellow Label and Black Label. The White Label is the only naturally aspirated one of the bunch, but it still benefits from upgrades like a new exhaust, limited-slip differential, improved suspension, heat extractor hood and rear wing.
Ford adds 850 jobs to build 2015 F-150
Tue, 14 Oct 2014Pickup trucks tend not to advance at quite the same pace as the rest of the industry. That's what makes the new Ford F-150 so remarkable, jettisoning its old steel construction in favor of aluminum. It's a game changer that Ford is betting big on, and in anticipation of surging demand, the Blue Oval automaker is adding 850 new jobs to put the thing together.
Those 850 new employees will be centered at Ford's Rouge complex in Michigan - with 300 at Dearborn Stamping, 50 more at Dearborn Diversified and 500 at the Dearborn Truck facility, the latter of which has already kicked off what Ford describes as "the largest manufacturing transformation in decades." Old manufacturing equipment is being replaced with the latest technologies, and even the Ford Rouge Factory Tour is undergoing a complete overhaul.
The new jobs come as part of the commitments Ford made to the UAW in 2011 to create 12,000 hourly jobs in the United States by 2015 - a number which Ford has already exceeded at 14,000. Over 4,000 of those are centered in southeastern Michigan.
