Looking for the best Ranchero in existence? You just found it. This Ranchero in my opinion has got to be one of the rarest and most original condition 1965 Ford Ranchero in the WORLD...period!
As fAr as I can tell, (and it have been looking at this car for the past 11 years) the paint is original, including the paint inside the bed. The bed tells the whole story on this GEM. It looks like its never been used.
I am the forth owner of this beauty. The three previous owners were all Falcon/Ranchero enthusiasts, so it has always been very very very well cared for. The only reason the last owner sold this car was because is lost his left leg therefore he couldn't operate the clutch anymore. He debated converting it a automatic but knew that the true value of this rare ranchero is the fact that it is a factory equipped 4 speed, bucket seat car. They only made 990 of these babies in 1965.
The other rare item about this car is the side trim. The dual side chrome strips with two tone original paint makes it very hard to find.
She runs and drives beautifully down the road. I purchased her 11 years ago out of Sacramento, CA and drove her home to Los Angeles (that's about 400 miles). She purrs and handles like a dream. Since then, I have always garaged her, and taken her out for Sunday drives and car shows only. She has earned second place awards, typically only loosing out to a fully restored "frame off" contender. Most at the shows like the originality of this car and typically "drool" over her
Here is a list of features and upgrades:
Top and bottom front sway bars. (Makes the Ranchero handle great.)
Rear sway bar.(Adds even more to the handling)
Rear lowering blocks, and front A-arms have been lowered. This gives it a better stance and helps the handling too.
Power Steering
Seats have been recovered with original style covers
Chrome plastic has been "re-chromed"...to perfection I might add
Gas filler cap has been moved to inside the bed. The original one is still in place and "wired" close so it wont come out.
"Black Plates" California plates.
Original fiberglass hinged bed tonneau cover
Front disc brakes
Dual exhaust
Factory spinner hub caps. Tire are in great condition, lots of tread.
Factory tach mounted on top of dash, where its suppose to be.
California Car Cover is included as well.
What does it need:
I might go ahead and change the carpet. It's not bad, its just no perfect. It's wearing thin in a few spots.

Ford, Toyota clean up in Best Car For The Money Awards
Fri, 22 Feb 2013The U.S. News Best Cars for the Money Awards picks winners by looking at the average transaction price, five-year total cost of ownership, the regard a car has from the automotive press, reliability figures from J.D. Power and Associates and safety data from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration and the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety. The result, according to the magazine, is "the best combination of critical acclaim and long-term value."
Ford nabbed six of the 21 categories that received awards this year, the Focus, Fusion, Fusion Hybrid, Taurus, Escape and Edge getting trophies. Toyota and its Lexus and Scion sub-brands took another five, the Tacoma and Tundra owning the two categories given to pickup trucks. The other ten awards were split between Honda with three, Buick with two, and one each for Subaru, BMW, Hyundai, Chevrolet and Mazda.

1947 Chevy rat rod pickup leaves rubber and smoke in its wake
Thu, 08 May 2014Cool comes in multiple flavors. One one hand, we have the sophisticated attraction of svelte design and the efficient use of power. Of course, on the other hand there is the allure of being the bad boy and going against the grain. That is part of the appeal of rat rods. Ideally, they are built without rules to an owner's specific tastes, and this widened and heavily modified 1947 Chevrolet pickup rod is a perfect example of that spirit.
Coming down the highway with a bent grille, rusted body and pouring smoke, it looks like the pickup from hell. It backs up the looks with some very impressive mechanicals too. Owner Troy Gubser says that the truck packs a Ford Power Stroke diesel with to 42 pounds of boost that runs out of 8-inch exhaust stacks at the back. He claims it managed 505 horsepower and 885 pound-feet of torque on the dyno. To harness all that power, this hot rod has a ZF five-speed manual gearbox with a ceramic clutch and short-throw shifter. Plus, it has cool little features like a doorbell on the tailgate that operates an air horn.
You might not expect a truck like this to actually be useful, but it has a fifth wheel coupling to haul an RV around drag races and car shows. The air suspension also probably keeps the ride fairly comfy when Gubser wants it to be. Scroll down to check out this beastly rat rod pickup and watch it engage in some diesel drag racing. Warning, there is some NSFW language.
2016 Ford Police Interceptor Utility shows up for duty in Chicago
Fri, Feb 13 2015The latest upgrade for the 2016 Ford Police Interceptor Utility is all set to patrol the Windy City's streets with its debut at the 2015 Chicago Auto Show. On the outside, the revised Ford police vehicle looks basically the same as the recently refreshed Explorer with a new grille and redesigned headlights. Inside, there's a restyled steering wheel and center console. Unlike the civilian model, though, the PI Utility gets heavy-duty brakes, a more robust cooling system, reinforced subframe mounts and larger diameter suspension springs for more strength. Under the hood, police forces get to choose between either a 3.7-liter V6 with 304 horsepower and 279 pound-feet of torque or a 3.5-liter EcoBoost V6 with 365 hp and 350 lb-ft of twist. Regardless of powertrain, these 'utes feature a six-speed automatic transmission and all-wheel drive. The transmission includes the awesome-sounding Pursuit Mode feature that switches over to more aggressive shifts when it detects harder driving to properly stop crime. Related Video:
