1963 Ford Falcon Ranchero. 302 V-8 and stick shift "on the tree". Motor runs very smooth, has good oil pressure, doesn't smoke or drip, and runs cool. The transmission shifts easily and is quiet, as is the rear end. Overall very nice little truck, it is very dependable and quite presentable. It is an older restore, but has been well maintained. The interior is very nice and the paint only has a few little flaws. The truck is driven daily as needed and never lets me down. It is an original 5 lug, 260 v-8 vehicle. Parts are readily available for these trucks through several sources. Can be driven while you restore or just drive like it is. There is minor surface rust on the bumpers, might even polish out. It did have a professional repair of the common problem with the well under the front of the bed. Looks good now and is sealed well. I do have it for sale locally too, so reserve the right to end early, but vow to leave it on E-Bay once the very reasonable reserve is met. I think that is only fair. So bid early and fairly and I'll hold it for you. I have the title in hand and the vehicle is licensed and insured in my name. It is being sold as-is where is. But I can help find a shipper and will assist getting it on a transport. Or drive it home. I bought this truck from an elderly guy that used it on his small ranch for hauling dog food, chicken food etc. He had most of the work done about 10 years ago but drove it minimally and always kept it up. Please let me know if you want more pictures or have further questions. My number is (805) 462-9515 I am only selling because I've started on a Studebaker pickup project and could use the bucks! I don't have a real professional camera so hope that I am able to convey how nice it is. I didn't detail under the hood as I think the buyer should see it as it is as a driver. The previous owner did give me a complete, ($300.), wiring loom, as the original is getting old. But since everything is working I just never installed it. The loom will come with the truck. It has a spare and jack mounted behind the driver's seat.
On Jun-25-14 at 14:37:38 PDT, seller added the following information: One of the people watching this truck e mailed me and said the motor is not a 302!! It runs so strong and the previous owner told me that it was, so not being a mechanic I thought it was a 302. Today I took it to a local shop and their concensus was that it is a 289 or possibly a 260, but not a 302. I personally don't feel that it takes away from the value. But if I'm wrong, let me know. I can cancel and start over, as an option, but rather not pay the extra fee! I don't want anyone to be disappointed after purchase. |

2013 Ford C-Max Hybrid recalled over lack of roof padding
Mon, 29 Jul 2013Ford is recalling 33,021 units of its 2013 C-Max Hybrid not equipped with optional panoramic roof panels. During testing, the model in question returned testing results for occupant head injuries that fell outside of criteria laid out in the Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard. The issue puts occupants at greater risk of injury in the event of a crash if they are in an affected car.
The recall will begin August 19, at which time C-Max Hybrid owners can take their cars to dealers to have energy-absorbent material installed between the headliner and roof. The bulletin below from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration has more information.
Ford decides C-Max shoppers not interested in fuel economy
Sat, Oct 25 2014If you say a car – the Ford C-Max Hybrid, for example – is "fun to drive," can anyone really come up with some empirical evidence against your claim? What about calling it "versatile"? We wonder if Ford has been thinking along these lines when it talks about the green little hatch. Ford is refocusing its sales strategy for the C-Max Hybrid after the model took a sales hit on both sides of the Atlantic recently, Automotive News reports. That sales dropoff may stem from the fact that Ford has had to revise its fuel-economy figures downward for the C-Max twice since last year, most recently in June. That made the company's once-proud fuel-economy comparisons with the Toyota Prius kind of pointless. Ford is going a different route, calling the model versatile (which, to be fair it was also doing a year ago), technologically advanced and fun to drive. Since the C-Max has about 50 more horsepower than the Prius, that last part may be true. Ford representatives didn't immediately respond to a request for comment from AutoblogGreen about the mpg-mention-free advertising direction, but we will update this post if we hear back. Sales of the C-Max Hybrid have suffered in the US. Through September, Ford sold 15,245 C-Max Hybrids, down 36 percent from last year. We shall see if a new focus away from the car's lowered mpg numbers helps. At least Ford can be pleased with sales of the C-Max Energi Plug-in Hybrid, which are up 51 percent compared to 2013.
RWD Lincolns are coming, fate depends partly on MKZ success
Tue, 04 Dec 2012The product portfolio at Lincoln may seem a bit sparse at the moment, but if a report is to be believed, new products are on the way. TheDetroitBureau.com spoke with sources at Lincoln and Ford, who claimed the American premium brand is working on, perhaps more than one, rear-wheel-drive vehicle.
Lincoln would likely platform-share with the next-generation Ford Mustang to develop those RWD offerings in the early going. Moving forward, the report indicates that Lincoln could take the lead on other rear-drive projects in the future. As the RWD architecture continues to take shape, "most or all" of the front-wheel-drive portfolio will also be offered with all-wheel drive as an option, ala Audi.
But wait, there's more! The report also suggests that a replacement for the full-size MKS is on the way, as well as a new Navigator and a luxury crossover based on the current Ford Escape.
