 For Sale, a very nice 1961 Ford Ranchero with 200 straight 6 engine. This little truck is ready for the road. The engine was rebuilt when we got this truck for our son in 1999. Has low mileage on the engine. When the engine was rebuilt the odometer was at approx. 41,000 miles and it is now at 50,978. A little less than 10,000 miles on the engine. I have the Pink in hand.

Our son drove it for a year and a half, then got a 1966 Mustang Fastback, so the truck went into storage in 2003. May 2013 we brought it out of storage and had it completely checked out. The miles on the rebuild consisted of him driving back and forth to high school for about a year and a half and me driving around town for the last year. The body is straight and the floors sound.

When we brought it back the engine was complete checked and seals replaced, brakes completely replaced, radiator pressure tested, gas tank cleaned and re-coated, new carpet and seat reupholstered, new starter and electric ignition put in. Carburetor was replaced and much more. The paint is in pretty good shape and would not need immediate painting. I have all the receipts for work done on this truck. We have receipts for all the work we have had done on this truck.  Floor is sound, floor has not been cut and replaced.

It has a new radio (retro shaped) that fit right into the space. The radio has a auxiliary jack so you can connect your MP3 player or phone. Oh yeah, it has 3 on the tree.
We have receipts for all work done on this truck since we purchased it in 1999.  If you live in the Orange County/Los Angeles County area and would like a closer look, please contact me and we can make arrangements for that.  Thank you for your interest.

This work was done when we brought the truck out of storage, where it had been in a garage and covered for 10 years. It is  a sweet ride. If you have any questions or concerns please contact me before bidding. If you want additional pictures please ask.  The vehicle is 99% rust free. There are a couple of small areas where the cab meets the bed and along the lower edge of the tailgate, where all these vehicles tend to get rust. If I was going to keep this vehicle I would have the bed and tail gate sprayed with rhino skin.  I am selling it because my knees don't like the shifting anymore and in Southern California, there is a lot of shifting to drive the streets here.  If you live in the Orange County/Los Angeles area and would like to look it over please contact me and we will make arrangements for that.  Thank you for your interest.

2016 Ford Mustang gets new packages, trim and hood-vent turn signals

Mon, May 11 2015

Ford just introduced the 2015 Mustang last year, but the iconic pony car is already getting a few minor updates for the 2016 model year consisting primarily of new options packages and trim. For starters, Ford is bringing back the turn indicators integrated into the hood vents, first launched on the Mustang nearly half a century ago, which will now be fitted as standard on the Mustang GT. The feature was apparently requested by customers, and signals to the driver when the turning indicator is on. Premium models also get the new Sync 3 system. The Blue Oval automaker is also offering racing stripes in black or silver on the Mustang GT and Mustang EcoBoost, along with a black roof option. There's a new Pony Package available for the EcoBoost Premium model as well, with 19-inch polished alloys, special grille, side stripe and chrome window surround. Customers ordering a Mustang GT fastback or convertible can opt for the Black Accent Package with murdered-out wheels, spoiler, taillamp trim and logos. There's a California Special Package being offered on the Mustang GT Premium with such touches as 19-inch black machined alloys, hood and side stripes, black spoiler, mirror and hood vents, dark taillamp accents, a front splitter, special grille and gas cap, strut tower brace and an interior decked out in black leather with suede inserts and red stitching. Finally, Ford is offering a Performance Package for the Mustang GT convertible with the manual transmission, similar to the kit available for the fastback but catered to the drop-top. The package includes upgraded suspension, Brembo brakes, 19-inch black-painted alloys, a larger radiator, strut tower brace and K-brace, retuned electronics, a Torsen limited slip differential, machine-turned aluminum instrument panel, a new splitter and the removal of the rear spoiler.

The big dune jump and the damage done

Mon, 20 May 2013

The Silver Lake sand dunes see their fair share of well-built trophy trucks executing impressive jumps. Drivers build insane pieces of machinery for the express purpose of sailing through the air like mad men and women.
Mike Higgins is no stranger to the area. His heavily modified Ford trophy truck has gone flying through the sky on more than one occasion, but he recently bit off more than he could chew. After hitting a particularly lofty dune, Higgins went airborne for a ridiculous 180 feet before becoming intimately familiar with the finer points of gravity.
While Higgins nailed the jump, his landing fell short of wowing the judges. The impact very nearly broke his truck in two. Despite the mechanical mayhem, the driver walked away without a scratch, proving that occasionally miracles really do happen. You can check out the jump and the subsequent destruction below for yourself. Be warned: there's a fair bit of foul language.
