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.

TRANSLOGIC 147: CES 2014 Autonomous Vehicles
Wed, Jan 15 2014We head back to CES in Las Vegas to check on the progress of autonomous vehicles in 2014. We go hands-free on the highway with Audi, narrowly avoid a collision with Ford and hear all about BMW's drifting driverless car. But first we take a ride on Induct's self-driving Navia shuttle.
Ford EcoBoost V6 hits the dyno before hitting the track
Wed, 02 Oct 2013Ford Racing just unveiled the Riley Daytona Prototype that will make its racing in the United SportsCar Racing Championship Rolex 24 at Daytona in January, and now it has released a video showing development of twin-turbo 3.5-liter EcoBoost V6 that powers the car. Using the same block and heads that can be found on a production Ford Taurus SHO, this new racecar benefits from the collaboration between Ford Racing and Ford powertrain engineers.
While we still don't know what kind of power this engine is putting out, it has definitely gotten a workout at Ford's 17G dyno. This area deep within Ford allows the automaker's racing program to work hand-in-hand with production engine programs, which can be a benefit to racing operations and production cars alike. Scroll down to hear a few people from Ford talk about the crosspollination between its racing and engine teams and watch the EcoBoost get red hot on the dyno.
Ford paying $750 million just to close plant in Belgium
Thu, 21 Mar 2013According to a report from Reuters, Ford is shelling out $750 million in a severance deal that will see the automaker close its facility in Genk, Belgium. The automaker reached this deal with the 4,000 hourly workers employed at the plant last week, which means the company will pay out an average of $187,500 per worker.
Ford is still negotiating with the 300 salaried workers at the factory, which currently produces the Mondeo sedan. All told, Ford expects to lose around $2 billion in Europe thanks in no small part to the region's ongoing economic downturn, and two more plants are scheduled to be shut down in Europe this year. The company will log its $750 million payout under "special items" for this quarter.
As you may recall, Ford took a similar path in the US back in 2009 when the domestic market took a spill. Back then, the company shelled out around $50,000 per employee with at least one year of experience, plus either $25,000 toward a new car or an extra cash payment of $20,000. It would seem the cost of closing plants in Belgium is a much harder pill to swallow than in the States...
