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's in the WORLD...period! 

 

As far as I can tell, (and I 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. In addition, the dual side chrome strips with two tone original paint is 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 original condition.    

 

Here is a list of features and upgrades:

X-brace under oil pan. Cross brace from shock tower to shock tower.

Rear sway bar, under differential.

1" 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.

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 bringing adaptive steering to the masses [w/video]

Thu, 29 May 2014

Within the next year, Ford will offer a brand-new adaptive steering system (unimaginatively dubbed "Ford Adaptive Steering"), and this week, the automaker invited us out to its proving grounds in Dearborn, MI to get a taste for how its new setup works. In function, Ford's system doesn't greatly differ from the majority of other adaptive steering units already on the market from companies like Audi or BMW, but consider this: Ford will be the first non-luxury automaker to offer this technology, and uniquely, the whole system fits inside the car's steering wheel.
Ford's engineers have worked hard to create a system that can be tacked on to the company's full lineup of cars, trucks and utility vehicles, and says that the adaptive steering will be uniquely tuned for each specific vehicle. The automaker will not confirm exactly which vehicle will launch with this technology, but for the purpose of our preview, we tested the technology in a 2014 Fusion - a vehicle with already-good behind-the-wheel feel, one that the company says best demonstrates its current steering efforts.

2015 Ford F-150 claims segment's best payload, towing ratings

Mon, 29 Sep 2014

While we are set to drive the new, 2015 Ford F-150 in the coming days, there's a big piece of news on the latest-generation of the Blue Oval's bread-and-butter pickup coming out of Dearborn, and it focuses on the truck's hauling and towing abilities.
The new F-150 will have a maximum payload of 3,300-pounds (V8 models), and, perhaps more importantly, a 12,200-pound tow rating (EcoBoost V6 models), which for the first time are compliant with the Society of Automotive Engineer's J2807 standards. Those best-in-class figures are significant feathers in Ford's cap as the Detroit Three continue duking it out for the title of top pickup.
"As founding members of the SAE trailer towing committee, we will meet SAE trailer towing standards," Ford's Aaron Miller told Autoblog.
