1958 Ranchero 390 V8 Auto Runs 7 Drives "rancher" Emblems on 2040-cars
Santa Clarita, California, United States
If I have not covered anything that is important to you let me know! I cant remember every detail or issue. I have several old cars that I play around with. I'll do anything I can to help you feel confidant in buying it. Check the vin for details. Door data code plate was painted over I did not remove the paint off it. Its hard to make out the details of it. Pretty sure it was originally white but total complete blue repaint. Door jams, dash etc. You can see even under the SS bed rail trims it was painted blue. I determined it because white was the last color before reaching the factory dark brown primer. I have uploaded as many pictures as I can. Choosing the ones that should matter the most. I have more available that I can send you via email/Txt. Or I'll take what you want me to. Simply put txt me and say you want more pic and of what and I will send them. This is a very cool Ranchero. The emblems that go on the rear area say RANCHER I don’t know why. Clean clear title in my name Tags good until 1/15 I was driving it 2/3 times a week around town mostly to lunch, or trying to be cool with a vehicle that not everyone has, until reverse became almost nonexistent/working. It works but you have to rev it high to get it to engage and go backwards. Has a 390 from what I don't know. I bought it that way. I'm pretty sure I have all the moldings and trim pieces. I have pictures that I can txt or email you to show how complete it was and the condition when I bought it. Basically to show that its all there. I obviously took some trim pieces off to strip the paint. I have the gas tank access door. Brand new 4core high flow brass radiator $400 Yup it has "some" rust, not a lot, but you know exactly how much, look at the pictures I can’t hide anything. I’ve removed most of the paint to prove it. The spare tire holder has 2 layers of sheet metal only the top layer is heavily rusted where the water would have drain down into the bottom layer which is where the 1inch hole is for the water to drain out. Rear bumper is slightly bent and has some rusty spots. It does bolt up to the brackets. Drivers upper door frame needs to be welded pic of problem. Windshield and pass door glass cracked broken Its 56 years old so not perfect but for the most part very solid. Not very many of these left in this condition. It took me a while to find this one. Who cares why I want to sell it, but if you really want to know, this is why. My son and I have moved on to 66 T-birds you can see in some of the pictures. Otherwise it would not be for sale. I don't care why you want to buy it. I only care that it sells. It can be picked up within 45 days after completing the sale, maybe longer if we talk about it. It is kept inside a temperature controlled garage. I also can take it to a shipper or transport if needed anywhere close to the Los Angeles area at no charge. There is a 75% chance that I’m driving to upstate NY to see my son play semi pro baseball and for a fee I can drop it off to you on my way. Probably leaving 2/3rd week in July. We can talk about it. Any question or concerns call me tom 661 286 1171. |

The 1965 Ford Mustang could have looked a lot different
Fri, May 8 2020The 1965 Ford Mustang is unquestionably an automotive design icon, and nearly every generation of Mustang has some connection to that original car. Because it's such a universally-known vehicle, we were amazed to see all the different designs that were being considered. Head of Ford's archives Ted Ryan recently shared photos of design proposals for the original Mustang on Twitter that he and Jamie Myler found, and we reached out to them to find out more. As Ryan initially noted, the photos were taken on August 19, 1962, and they are proposals for the Ford Mustang. Apparently Ford had committed to doing a Falcon-based youth-oriented car at this point, and it did have plans to launch the car in 1964 for the 1965 model year. But after having little success with early design proposals, the company asked all of its design studios — the Advanced Studio, Lincoln-Mercury Studio and Ford Studio — to submit proposals. With only about two years before the planned launch, Ford was understandably short on time, and it's believed that the studios only had a month to create and present these designs. Lincoln-Mercury design proposal View 8 Photos The majority of the designs, a total of five, came from the Advanced Studio, and part of this was because they already had a couple of concept designs in reserve it could present. Two other models representing three design possibilities came from Lincoln-Mercury, and just one model with two options came from Ford. The Advanced Studio proposals are shown in the gallery at the very top of this article, and the Lincoln-Mercury and Ford proposals are in the gallery directly above this paragraph. The Advanced Studio's most radical design is the one that was clearly related to the Mustang I concept that would be shown later that year with huge wraparound rear glass, turbine-inspired bumpers and enormous side scoops. The other proposals from the studio were more conservative, featuring simple lines, grilles reminiscent of the Falcon, and one even borrowing the jet-thruster-style taillights made famous on the Thunderbird. Lincoln-Mercury had some impressively bold designs, particularly its fastback that had buttresses to extend the shape all the way to the tail. This car had two different side trim possibilities. The other Lincoln-Mercury design was toned down a bit, but had two interesting possibilities for side detailing, as well as some crisp, low-profile tail fins.

Ford adds third shift at F-150 plant to keep up with demand
Tue, 06 Aug 2013The signs have been very positive for Ford's F-Series line of pickup trucks as of late, and after 24 consecutive months of increasing sales of the best-selling F-150, the automaker has added a third production crew at its Kansas City Assembly Plant that includes 900 new hourly workers to meet demand for the truck. This the first step in Ford's plan to add 2,000 hourly jobs at the plant to help meet demand for its trucks and to begin production of the new Transit van, the automaker says.
Despite some tough new competition, sales of the F-Series are the strongest they've been since 2006, according to Ford. The automaker sold 60,449 F-Series in July, the best sales figure for the mid-summer month since 2006, which also represents a 23 percent increase compared to July 2012. From January to July 2013, sales were up 22 percent compared to the same period last year.
Ford has committed to creating 12,000 hourly jobs by 2015, and with the 900 new employees added to the assembly plant in Missouri, the company says it has completed 75 percent of its goal. Ford has also invested $1.1 billion to retool and expand the Kansas City Assembly Plant to ready it for Transit production. Take a look at the press release below for more job and F-Series sales information.
