1967 Ford Ranchero 500 Xl 6.4l on 2040-cars
Denver, Colorado, United States
|
I have a very rare 1967 Ford Ranchero XL 500 for sale. It is an original numbers matching big block 4 speed car. 390 high performance engine, close ratio 4 speed toploader transmission, 9" 3:25 to 1 traction-lock differential. Bucket seats, center console, XL trim, rare factory tachometer. Power steering and power disc brakes. According to internet research there were 1881 XL Rancheros built in 1967. Of that, 494 were "Z" engine codes and only 171 came with 4 speeds. This was an original red car with black interior. Has Unilite electronic distributor, Holley Street Dominator aluminum intake and Holley Street Avenger 670 cfm carburetor. Aside from that, the long block is original. The car runs and drives nicely and can be used as a daily driver. New shocks on all 4 corners. Front suspension is all new and has been lowered 1". Front sway bar has been upgraded to 1". Originally came with a 3:00 posi, now 3:25. New dual exhaust system with "H" pipe. Good brakes. New Cragar S/S wheels - 15" x 7" front and 15" x 8" rears with nice T/A radials. Everything works well on the car (lights, turn signals, radio, tach, wipers, etc.) with the exception of the horn. All glass is good although the windshield does have a scratch in it. Body is quite straight with no signs of any accidents except a slight crease in the passenger's rear quarter panel. There is some rust in the rear quarter panels down low (shown in pics) and the driver's side floor pan has been replaced with the correct full length pan and is very solid although not trimmed to a nice finish (also shown in pics). The bed had carpet in it when I purchased the car (approx. 3 years ago). I removed the carpet but the glue is still showing and there is pitting in the metal although very solid. I had the shock access and tailgate panel stripped and primed. My plan was to strip the remainder and Rhino-line the bed to cover the pitting. The remainder of the car is pretty much rust-free. Interior is nearly new...seats, carpet, door panels and headliner in very good shape. There is 1 crack in the dash at the speaker grille. Chrome and trim are complete and generally in very nice shape. The passenger's rear quarter panel trim is dinged up, but I have a nice replacement that goes with the vehicle. I also have a nice tailgate that is better than the one on the car. Some other small parts included. This is a rare muscle truck that is a one-year only body style (Fairlane). Serious parties please feel free to email or call (303) 775-2193 with questions. Thanks for your interest.

Ford, Chrysler and Mazda expand scope of Takata airbag recalls
Fri, Dec 5 2014The scope of the Takata airbag inflator recall is ballooning once again across the United States. Where Honda has elected to take its driver-side airbag campaign nationwide, Chrysler Group and Ford have now announced expanded regional actions to cover some passenger-side airbag inflators. Mazda is adding more regions, as well. For Chrysler Group, the campaign covers the inflators on 149,150 examples of the 2003-model-year Ram 1500, 2500 and 3500 pickups. The recall is limited to vehicles sold or ever registered in Alabama, Florida, Georgia, Hawaii, Louisiana, Mississippi, Texas and the territories of American Samoa, Guam, Puerto Rico, Saipan, and the Virgin Islands. The company will begin notifying affected customers on January 19. According to Chrysler's announcement of the action, the passenger side inflators in these trucks "are of a type that is not used in any of the other vehicles affected by Chrysler Group's regional field action." The automaker says that it's not aware of any actual failures or accidents in these pickups and even claims there are no "observed failures in laboratory testing of its airbag modules." The company is continuing to study the problem, though. Ford is taking a similar step by issuing a recall of inflators for 38,500 examples of the 2004-2005 Ranger and 2005-2006 Ford GT. The campaign only affects vehicles originally sold or ever registered in Florida, Hawaii, Puerto Rico and the US Virgin Islands. Certain zip codes of Georgia, Alabama, Mississippi, Louisiana, Texas, Guam, Saipan and American Samoa are also covered. There's already precedent for passenger-side airbags to be covered under the Takata inflator recall. When many automakers announced campaigns in June, BMW, Chrysler, Ford, Honda, Mazda, Nissan and Toyota all included that side in some of their repairs. Subaru subsequently did, as well. In addition, Mazda is expanding the scope of its recall to add Florida, Puerto Rico, Hawaii, Saipan, Guam, American Samoa, US Virgin Islands, Georgia, Alabama, Louisiana, Mississippi and Texas to the affected areas. The company estimates that it has a total of 86,773 vehicles in need of repair. Mazda is also teaming with Toyota to begin independent testing of the Takata inflators. Scroll down to read all of the automakers' announcements of these newly expanded recalls. Statement: Air-Bag Inflators December 3, 2014 , Auburn Hills, Mich.
Ford cleans up painting process with cameras
Thu, 22 Aug 2013Knowing how the bacon gets made rarely entices us and, in the same vein, the same usually goes for knowing about how new cars get painted. But in both instances, however, quality - or a lack thereof - is instantly obvious. In terms of the latter, Ford is showing off its new paint quality process with 3D Dirt Detection Technology to find imperfections in vehicle paint more easily and more quickly.
This process - being performed on the F-150 SVT Raptor above - uses 16 computer-controlled cameras to create a three-dimensional model (inset) of the vehicle to detect flaws in the paint including dirt particles, which can then be buffed out manually. Ford says this new technology cuts down on time spent looking for paint flaws and gives workers more time to correct those that are discovered.
Currently, Ford only uses its 3D Dirt Detection Technology system at three factories (the Dearborn, MI facility, along with those in Louisville, Kentucky and Valencia, Spain), but it will soon spread to five more plants in North America. Ford has released a video and press release for this innovative and unexpectedly interesting process, both of which are posted below.
2015 Ford Mustang EcoBoost
Fri, 16 May 2014Earlier this week, Ford invited us to Charlotte, NC, to ride in an all-new 2015 Mustang fitted with its turbocharged 2.3-liter EcoBoost four-cylinder. It's the first forced-induction, four-cylinder ponycar for the Blue Oval since the sun set on the 1986 Mustang SVO. We jumped at the opportunity, as only a handful of people have ever been in the passenger seat of this new car, and most automotive media won't get as close as we did until this fall.
As we revealed in our Deep Dive, Ford will slot this new turbocharged four as premium powerplant between its naturally aspirated 3.7-liter V6 and the naturally aspirated 5.0-liter V8. At last mention, the automaker said the direct-injected, all-aluminum engine will develop 305 horsepower and 300 pound-feet of torque, returning the best fuel economy of the three powerplants in the process. History buffs will note that those figures are appreciably stouter than the 200 horses and 240 lb-ft that the '86 SVO realized out of the same displacement, and the latter's figures were hugely impressive at the time. On paper, the new EcoBoost four looks to be a good fit for most owners who want to balance performance with efficiency - we were eager to see how it felt from the passenger seat.
