1965 Ford
Falcon Ranchero Deluxe
A very nice 65 Ranchero that needs very little to be cherry. A little over 107K original miles (average 2,140) miles per year since new. Starts, idles and runs GREAT!! An original California car with little to no rust. Now located in Austin, TX. Floor boards solid. It appears to be undercarriage sprayed at the factory when new. I am the 3rd owner since new, you would be the 4th. Here is the list of conditions and what has been done to it in the past year: Engine - Full
tune up, plugs, air filter & oil change. Engine is tight, doesn’t leak or blow smoke,
and runs like a scared striped-arsed monkey when floored. This is a VERY nice stock 289V8 with lots of
power. First year 289V8 from the
factory and same as the 65 Ford Mustang. Transmission (Cruise-o-matic 3 speed on the tree) shifts as it should and drops down nicely into lower gear when floored. Has factory
AC (just needs to be charged). Has a small leak somewhere bud runs cold when charged. Should be an easy fix for an AC guy. Serviced rear differential New u-joints New battery New engine & transmission mounts Professionally rebuild stock 2bbr Autolite carb by Gotta Fish Carbs >> One of the best in the business. Brakes gone thru and repaired to perfect working condition. All new
interior (seat, carpet, headliner, door seals & wind lace) from only top of
the line Falcon internet websites with original type color and material. New old stock Sanyo high powered AM/FM cassette stereo installed and the original working AM radio comes with the car. New radiator with 50-50 Prestone antifreeze New AC
radiator Heater core rebuilt and blows hot air (when on). You want one that has already been rebuilt, trust me on this one! New fuel pump. Chrome bumpers front and back are nice as well as the front grill. Vintage radio shack CB installed with PA speaker in the engine compartment to scare old ladies, dogs, kids, hippies, Irishmen, etc.. New whitewall tires Original spinner hubcaps (worth $100 each by themselves)! Original door panels still in decent shape Original dash (cracked) but still nice and useable as is. Glass is good. All electrics work fine. Brake lights, back up lights, headlights, inside door lights, dash lights, horn. Cigarette lighter doesn’t work but may just need a new filament, I don’t smoke so don’t really care. Should be a simple fix. This ol truck only needs a few things to make it REAL nice. Needs some
minor body work done. There are little dings, dents, holes and scratches around the truck in various places (its 50 years old). Needs a
paint job or drive as is as I have been doing. Original
exterior color was the same as the inside of the cab but was repainted yellow by the 2nd owner back in the day. Everyone loves the
yellow so Id personally keep it that color. Its been touched up in various areas to match the
yellow paint and is presentable but certainly not perfect by any means. Still gets numerous
thumbs up every time I drive it. Overall, a very nice original condition (as most you can do) 50 year old Falcon Ranchero which are very collectable and gaining collectable status and increased value. The 1965 is arguably the best year and certainly the best of this model that ran from 1960 to 1965 with 1964 & 1965 being specific body years with the cool body lines running front to rear. To find one virtually rust free and major accident free is rare. My price is very fair and all work was done as quality as I could do it. A LOT of time and money have been put into this ol gal. Only reason I'm selling is lack of room and I have other projects to work on now. The misc. trinkets and personal items shown in the pictures are mine and do not convey with the vehicle. I do however have another Bobs Big Boy Bobblehead that I can include (if you want Bob that is). Car cover comes with it as well as Owners Manual and other misc. paperwork Ive collected for it. Bought from the estate of the 2nd owner out of Arizona. According to the family, the 2nd owner owned a service station in California and babied the engine and worked on this truck himself. I'm assuming that's why its mechanically in such good shape. Buyer is responsible for pick up (at their cost) and can be picked up anytime after July 20th. Bid with confidence with my 100’s of positive feedbacks. All information provided is to the best of my knowledge and deemed reliable, but not guaranteed. Sold in as-is condition (due to age) but I wouldn’t have any concern driving this car/truck anywhere. Always starts, always reliable (has been for me). Drive as is or finish it up, all the hard work is done. Clear Texas Title in my name. You should be very happy with this one if you win the auction, good luck and happy bidding!

Motor Trend pits Subaru WRX vs. Ford Focus ST
Thu, 23 Jan 2014The Ford Focus ST has enjoyed a relatively calm, if brief, reign in the world of hot hatches. With nothing else in the class (in the States, at least) but the aging Mazdaspeed3 and Subaru Impreza WRX and the slow-selling Volkswagen Golf R, the Blue Oval's 252-horsepower five door has been the go-to vehicle for those that don't need the high-octane lunacy (and expense) of the rally bred Subaru Impreza WRX STI and Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution X.
Now, though, as the new Subaru WRX (it's not an Impreza anymore, though, neither is it a hatchback...) starts to arrive at dealers, the Focus ST appears to be under threat for the first time. Naturally, Motor Trend is here to figure out which one is the best, with another one of its Head 2 Head videos. Host Jonny Lieberman puts both cars through their paces, going above and beyond, quite literally, at the very end of the video.
Have a look below and let us know what you think of MT's verdict in Comments.
Ford E-Series chassis cabs and cutaways to survive mass Transit onslaught
Fri, 18 Apr 2014In March 2013, Ford announced we'd be getting chassis cab and cutaway versions of the Transit. Since incoming Transit vans will soon be rolling over the grave of the E-Series van, it was assumed that all E-Series models would go six feet under as well. According to a report from PickupTrucks.com, however, that's not the case, the report claiming that the highly modifiable E-350 and E-450 chassis cab and cutaway versions will continue being produced in Avon Lake, Ohio "at least until 2020."
Being decades old, the be-cabbed E-Series platform has found its way under an army of heavy-duty shuttle buses, work truck and ambulances. Ford spokeswoman Jessica Enoch verified the production horizon, telling Autoblog that the particular E-Series configuration "are a higher GVWR than the Transit chassis cab and cutaway (available this summer), which is more Class 2 and a new segment for us." So there you have it.
Leno talks racing with NASCAR racer Joey Logano
Wed, 02 Jul 2014Jay Leno has to be under significant pressure knowing the appetite his fans have for a new Jay Leno's Garage video every week. This time, Jay takes a break from his usual format (something he's been doing with some frequency as of late) and goes back to his roots as a talk show host. There's no classic in the garage his episode with an interesting story to tell and a sumptuous exhaust note. Instead, the focus is purely on interviewing 23-year-old NASCAR racer Joey Logano about what it's like to be a racecar driver in his Ford Fusion.
Logano started racing at the tender age of six and has risen up the circle-track ranks to the big show of the NASCAR Sprint Cup. The two of them talk about what it's like to compete in the sport today compared to yesteryear, and Logano shares some racing anecdotes. Of course, they also get into what it's like to be on the racetrack controlling a car with about 850 horsepower, a four-speed manual transmission and brakes without any power boost. Scroll down to watch the video.
