This Ranchero was a one owner car until I purchased 2012. It spend it whole time in Carlsbad, Ca. The vehicle went into storage sometime in 1997 or 98, owner not sure. I have all receipts dateing back to 1983 up to 1996. The last recorded mileage was 89286. Today mileage is 91268. I have receipts for over $1000.00 that I spent getting the car updated. All receipts will go with the vehicle. Here is a list of most of the installed. All fluids, oil, water, brake fluid and trans fluid. Power steering control valve and pump. Shift collar, battery, turn signal switch, power steering hoses (2), Head light switch, Fuel tank fill hose, radiator over flow tank, neutral safety switch, lighter, driver side window regulator, glove box and other miscellaneus items. This car also has a trailer hitch.
What it need machinicaly it may need a fuel sending unit or the wires going to sending unit is problem. I did test the fuel gauge and it is working using a test system. The carburetor needs adjusting. The lower DS door hinge need a spring which will go with the car. The clock does not work. The radio works fine.
After getting the car running it starts on first try with just one pump. It drives very nice except for a slight hesitation on fast acceleration. This is why I think the carb needs adjusting. It drives true and straight and feel strong and is quiet. The tires look new but were purchased sometime before 4/1/93
The body looks original with only three small problems. The only rust is a strip on the tailgate that holds tailgate panel on at the bottom. The strip is about 1 inch wide and the length of the tailgate. It is screwed on and should be replaced. There is a dent on the right rocker panel. see picture, and a repair done on the right rear over the wheel well that could have been done better. I took a picture but I don't think it shows in the picture. The car was repainted in Feburary 1993 as receipts show. There are a few chips and a spot where the paint has come off, it is about roughly 2 x 5 inches. The floor pants show NO signs of rust as well as the body. The interior is missing one arm rest and could use new door panels and seat covers.
California black plates not included in sale......
I've done my best to describe the car and if you have any questions please ask.
It is a very good daily driver and a good starting point for restoration which I was planning, but due to health problems at 72 years old I no longer can do any work.

Jeremy Clarkson chooses his top 10 cars for 2015 and 2016
Mon, Aug 15 2016Jeremy Clarkson is well-known for his role as co-host on the old Top Gear. But the frontman of the upcoming Amazon Prime Show, The Grand Tour, also has a standing column for The Sunday Times in the UK where he reviews the latest cars. With fall nearing, Clarkson put out a list of his top-10 cars from this year and 2015. Some on the list will surprise you, while others represent everything we've come to love about Clarkson. In order to make his list of star cars, the vehicles must offer what co-host James May calls "the fizz." The vehicles, Clarkson claims, have something that is out of the ordinary. Whether it's the car's looks, the way it gets up to speed, or its high-tech gadgets, Clarkson's top-10 list is made up of items that are more than just tools for getting from point A to B. So which ones made the list? Head over to the column in The Sunday Times.

Ford C-Max sales hold steady despite fuel economy fracas
Mon, 09 Sep 2013Despite the ballyhoo that accompanied Ford's lowering of the C-Max fuel economy figures, the Blue Oval is still seeing strong demand for the five-seat MPV, as Automotive News reports. Speaking to marketing boss Jim Farley, AN says that the controversy surrounding the C-Max's fuel economy figures won't force Ford to change its marketing strategy.
Ford lowered the fuel economy rating of the C-Max after public outcry and legal action by customers that were unable to reach the 47 miles per gallon promised by the window sticker. The new ratings were dropped about a month ago to 45 mpg on the freeway and 40 mpg in the city. Ford offered rebates for current C-Max owners, with $550 going to those that bought their car and $325 to lessees. The issue, says Ford, stemmed from testing standards that allowed the automaker to base the C-Max's fuel economy on the Fusion Hybrid, because they use identical powertrains. The C-Max's less aerodynamic shape wasn't taken into account, though.
Whether Ford's PR team handled the crises perfectly or people just aren't that bothered by a four-mpg drop in combined ratings, demand remains strong for the C-Max among consumers. Ford moved 3,000 units in August, which was a 12-percent jump over July sales. Meanwhile, consumer demand through third-party shopping websites remains strong as well, according to Autometrics, a data analysis company that spoke with Automotive News. While the long-term effects of the adjustments remain unknown, the C-Max appears to have fared well in the near term.
Chris Harris checks out Ken Block's Hoonicorn '65 Mustang
Thu, Dec 4 2014Ken Block's Hoonicorn, which stars in Gymkhana Seven, might still bear a passing resemblance to a vintage 1965 Ford Mustang, but underneath the skin, the car is one of the baddest custom machines to ever do a smoky burnout on the road. The ever enthusiastic British auto journalist Chris Harris is now showing what really makes Block's new ride tick on video, and Harris even gets to go for quite a ride. The only Mustang components really left on the Hoonicorn are the A-pillar, B-pillar and roof, according to Harris. Everything else is ditched to create Block's ultimate Gymkhana tool. The 845-horsepower, 6.7-liter Rousch Yates V8 sits behind the front axle, and the grunt is routed to all four wheels through a Sadev gearbox usually found on Dakar Rally vehicles. The whole drivetrain is packed with cool little touches; like that giant handbrake that also disconnects power from the front wheels when in use. The superlatives about the Hoonicorn could go on forever, but settle in and let a very excited Harris tell you about just some of them. He's like a kid in a candy store here, and the look that combines surprise, fear and joy during his ride with Block is the kind that lacks a suitable word in the English language.
