Up for auction is an overall easy project car to complete. This is a 1966 Ford Ranchero that is all original. This Ranchero has it's original 289 V8,3 speed manual column shift transmission. This Ranchero is a 2 owner car that i purchased in 2004. The car has been just sitting in my yard for over 6 years. The odometer shows 32,947 miles and the man i purchased this truck from was from WV and swore the miles to be original. As good as the engine ran,i believe that the miles may really be correct. All of the drivetrain in this Ranchero is in very good condition,but has not been cranked in over 2 years or moved since 2004. The motor is free and will just need a tune up to get it back running great again. The original interior is still in overall good shape and the dash looks good and the horn ring on the car is the only upgrade and it is a NOS horn ring. The hubcaps are not the originals,but still look ok on it. The body is straight,but does have some rust in it,mainly the lower quarter panels,but i'm including 2 good useable original quarter sections that are cut much larger than needed. The tires are no good from sitting,but the original steel rims are ok. The gas tank was no good,but i'm including a good gas tank out of the other 66 Ranchero that i had cut the rear quarter setions out of. The front and rear original bumpers with all of the brackets are also included. The front grill is straight and nice as is all of the bed stainless. The tailgate is straight and also solid. There are a couple of small rust holes in the drivers side front fender and 1 small rust spot in the lower passenger side door. The floor pans may also need a little work or maybe replacing from sitting so long. Again,this is a project car,but it is all original and complete with everything to get it back on it's way to being a nice driver or show truck depending on the new owners attentions with it. This Ranchero will need to be trailered to your destination. I think i've covered most everything,but feel free to ask a question if you're interested in this 1966 Ford Ranchero.

Ford recalls Five Hundred, Mercury Montego sedans over fuel tank woes
Mon, 18 Jul 2011Ford has announced through the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration that it is recalling nearly 3,000 examples of its Five Hundred and Mercury Montego (pictured) sedans from the 2007 model year.
The action, which affects 2,945 vehicles, is due to potentially defective welds between the filler neck and the fuel tank, a condition that could result in a fuel leak or the smell of gasoline reaching the occupants. In the worst-case scenario, a leak could cause a fire. Cars with the affected fuel tank problem could see an illuminated dashboard warning light as a result of the evaporative emissions leak being detected.
Ford will inspect and replace the fuel tank at no cost to owners (those who have already had the procedure done at-cost can apply for reimbursement), and the Dearborn automaker will begin notifying Five Hundred and Montego owners beginning August 15. Check out the official NHTSA press release after the jump for further details.
Ford moving medium-duty F-Series production from Mexico to Ohio
Thu, 27 Feb 2014
A few more Ford trucks will be built in the US in the near future with news that production of the F-650 and F-750 medium-duty trucks will move from Mexico to Ford's Ohio Assembly Plant in Avon Lake, OH. Ford hasn't confirmed a precise timeline for the move, but The Detroit News claims the Blue Oval will make the shift later this year or in early 2015.
As Ford spokesperson Mike Levine reminded us, back in 2011, Ford announced in an investor release that it would shift production "after the [Ohio] plant stops current production of the Ford E-Series vans." According to that release, the Ohio factory will also receive $128 million in upgrades to build the new trucks, plus the F53 motorhome chassis and F59 commercial chassis.
Ford Ka Concept shown in Brazil, could enter production by 2014
Wed, 13 Nov 2013The Ford Ka (pronounce it like a Bostonian saying "car") is the Blue Oval's sub-Fiesta offering in a number of markets that aren't North America. It's been a staple in Europe since it launched in 1996 and in South America since 1997, where it's enjoyed quite a bit of popularity as an affordable, efficient city car.
The European and South American models grew apart over the years, until Europe ended up with a Fiesta-inspired car and Brazil retained a more evolved version of the original Ka's styling. With this Ka Concept, which is really a concept in name only, Ford is previewing a Ka not just for the European market, but as the brand's new, global small car. With city car sales expected to grow dramatically in coming years and the ever increasing price of fuel, Ford's move to get a new, competitive car into the market on a global level isn't surprising.
Wearing Ford's new, familial grille, the Ka Concept features the same crisp, sculpted sheetmetal that's adorned the Fusion and Fiesta. Developed in-house by Ford Brazil, a production version could launch by 2014, according to Ford's press release. It's unclear what engines will sit under this car's hood, although we'd bet the 1.0-liter, EcoBoost three-cylinder from the Fiesta will be available at some point.
