Up for sale my awesome looking Resto-Mod 1964 Ford Ranchero.
This classic has had extensive work to make it a fun dependable street cruiser. I'm 60 years old and don't beat the crap out of my cars. I have a clear Florida title in my name. The professional restoration was completed couple of years back (about 3500 miles) with much attention paid to the details. Everything is either two years old or newer. The engine alone has had over 10k worth of upgrades done to it. The red seats are customized and from a Saturn. The gauges are So-Cal and has a 200mph speedo. The I-Pod stereo has multiple custom mounted speakers including 12'' subwoofer and two amps custom mounted behind the seats. It has a custom built console that mounts the buttons for the power windows along with two Ford Racing (non working) gauges. The steering wheel has a (nose) pad from Rusty Wallace racing's son's bush team. The shifter is made from titanium. The gas, brake and clutch pedals are Eleanor Mustang. The car has A/C added to keep you cool in the hot summers. I can run this car all day in the Florida sun and it stays at 190 degrees.
It has a 1993 5.0 mustang Cobra engine & trans. with 75,000 miles. It has a Vortech Supercharger, Edelbrock aluminium heads, a Steeda camshaft, GT40 intake and finished out with polished Cobra valve covers . This car was dynoed at 440 rear wheel horsepower! Dyno sheet is in the glove box. The transmission is a T5 out of the mustang with a King Cobra clutch.
The cooling system has been upgraded with a aluminium 4 core radiator and two electric fans. The exhaust consists stock exhaust manifolds and one magnatone muffler that make it sound awesome. The rear has 355 gears. The suspension has Shelby control arms, eibach sway bars, tie rods and is adjustable for racing. Front disc brakes as well.
The California body is amazing with original rust free floors and straight body panels. The only patch is under the bed floor where that panel comes off. That's where I have the two batteries mounted. The paint is 2001 Lexus grey metallic that really pops in the sunlight. The paint and body where done a couple years back when the full resto was performed and has a few chips and minor scratches (I pointed them out in the pictures, the one on the hood is the worst chip) that are expected from a true driver car but very hard to see unless you get right up on the truck. The Ranchero is sitting under some trees, That's what you see refelected in the hood. The Chevrons and chrome down the sides are painted on. The Lunchtimers on the doors are stickers and can be removed if you want to.
I own some rental apartments and have been using the Ranchero lately to haul stuff, That's why I need to sell it to get a bigger truck that I don't have to worry about scratching it.
The bed has been coated with bed liner. It has an aluminium framed soft vinyl tonneau cover. The wheels are American Salt Flats 15'' front and 17" rears with low profile tires. All the rubber seals, weather stripping and glass have been replaced throughout the truck and the chrome has been removed or powder coated. The taillights are LED and flash sequentially in a star pattern when you hit the brakes, Like the old Thunderbirds.
All in All this a great looking cruiser with creature comforts and dependability of newer cars that sounds like an true old school muscle car - a true Resto-Moded ride! please feel free to email me for more info, Pictures or to setup a time to check it out.
The horn doesn't work. I have it disconnected to run the steering wheel pad.
The speedometer is not hooked up it needs the T5 to older speedo cable adapter.
The turn signals don't work. I have the flasher hooked up to the brake lights so the brake lights flash instead.
As with any old car, its not a new car there might be some things you don't like or you would do different but I'm describing it as accurately and honestly as I can. So look at the pictures and ask questions if you aren't sure about something. Sold as-is. The car will not leave until all funds have cleared my bank. Will make it available for pick up or for your shipper. I can store it in my garage for 30 days after it's paid for.
Bid and bid often. It would hard to find another Ranchero like this

Generation Z prefers Ford, wants better fuel efficiency
Mon, Mar 2 2015Fear not the future, dear green-car enthusiast. For the youngest drivers like good gas mileage. And they don't really like SUVs or trucks. Breathe easier. About 80 percent of drivers ages 16 to 21, part of what's known as 'Generation Z,' prefer cars more than any other type of larger light-duty vehicle, with about half of that group preferring compact cars, The Detroit News says, citing data company MaritzCX. That company polled about 1,100 prospective young car buyers and found them to put a priority on fuel economy because that group is... well, cheap. To put that demographic's vehicle choice into perspective, just a third of light-duty vehicles sold in the US last year were cars, while the rest were SUVs and trucks. So the future is bright, and possibly devoid of some of the smog we're now seeing. Meanwhile, Ford is the most popular brand among younger drivers, again reflecting that company's more recent emphasis on hybrids, plug-ins and high-fuel-economy gas-burning engines. Ford's US green car sales fell 1.4 percent last year to about 86,500 units (falling C-Max Hybrid demand pulled the American automaker's numbers down), so we'd think that this is very welcome news for the Blue Oval.

Ford Shelby GT350 Mustang is a lean, mean, Z/28-fighting machine [w/video]
Mon, 17 Nov 2014If there's one thing you can count on, it's that the renewed rivalry between the Ford Mustang and Chevrolet Camaro will never, ever cease. For every version of Ford's pony car, there's an equally potent Chevrolet. And so with the debut of the Camaro Z/28 earlier this year, Ford has responded with a track-focused 'Stang of its own, resurrecting the Shelby GT350 name.
It looks to be a fine piece of work, this Mustang, with power coming from a naturally aspirated 5.2-liter V8 that will produce "more than 500 horsepower" and "above 400" pound-feet of torque. That grunt runs to the rear wheels via a six-speed manual transmission, and a Torsen limited-slip differential keeps everything in line.
But that's hardly the most impressive piece of the GT350 puzzle. Ford has increased the Mustang GT's chassis stiffness for duty here in the Shelby, and the coupe employs MagneRide damping which automatically adjusts based on road conditions and driver inputs. It's a first both for the Blue Oval and for the segment. And speaking of firsts, the GT350 uses a flat-plane crankshaft - something Ford has never included in a production V8 before.
2015 Ford Mustang Convertible shown on Twitter [UPDATE w/video]
Thu, 05 Dec 2013It hasn't yet been 12 hours since the hotly anticipated 2015 Ford Mustang has been let out into public view. After a series of evocative leaks over the course of the last days, we brought you a full deep dive of the sixth-generation pony car at the dawning of today. And yet, here we are rushing to bring you news of a new Mustang variant, already.
Be it part of a plan to keep the Mustang fervor at full boil, or a misunderstood email somewhere in the chain of command, Ford UK has unceremoniously tweeted a picture of the 2015 Ford Mustang Convertible. For a newly global Mustang, getting our first look at the droptop from the convertible-crazy British does make some amount of sense.
As for details, well, you're looking at them. Brandon Turkus reported yesterday that the Mustang 'vert would make use of a fully electric convertible mechanism, and that it would be of fabric construction rather than some kind of retractable hardtop. We see here that the fabric part is clearly true, and it does look as though Ford may still be employing the same kind of manually attached tonneau cover that exists right now. Of course, our view from this angle isn't great, and the particulars are still up in the air.
