1963 Ford Falcon Ranchero. 302 V-8 and stick shift "on the tree". Motor runs very smooth, has good oil pressure, doesn't smoke or drip, and runs cool. The transmission shifts easily and is quiet, as is the rear end. Overall very nice little truck, it is very dependable and quite presentable. It is an older restore, but has been well maintained. The interior is very nice and the paint only has a few little flaws. The truck is driven daily as needed and never lets me down. It is an original 5 lug, 260 v-8 vehicle. Parts are readily available for these trucks through several sources. Can be driven while you restore or just drive like it is. There is minor surface rust on the bumpers, might even polish out. It did have a professional repair of the common problem with the well under the front of the bed. Looks good now and is sealed well. I do have it for sale locally too, so reserve the right to end early, but vow to leave it on E-Bay once the very reasonable reserve is met. I think that is only fair. So bid early and fairly and I'll hold it for you. I have the title in hand and the vehicle is licensed and insured in my name. It is being sold as-is where is. But I can help find a shipper and will assist getting it on a transport. Or drive it home. I bought this truck from an elderly guy that used it on his small ranch for hauling dog food, chicken food etc. He had most of the work done about 10 years ago but drove it minimally and always kept it up. Please let me know if you want more pictures or have further questions. My number is (805) 462-9515 I am only selling because I've started on a Studebaker pickup project and could use the bucks! I don't have a real professional camera so hope that I am able to convey how nice it is. I didn't detail under the hood as I think the buyer should see it as it is as a driver. The previous owner did give me a complete, ($300.), wiring loom, as the original is getting old. But since everything is working I just never installed it. The loom will come with the truck. It has a spare and jack mounted behind the driver's seat.

One of the people watching this truck e mailed me and said the motor is not a 302!! It runs so strong and the previous owner told me that it was, so not being a mechanic I thought it was a 302. Today I took it to a local shop and their concensus was that it is a 289 or possibly a 260, but not a 302. I personally don't feel that it takes away from the value. But if I'm wrong, let me know. I can cancel and start over, as an option, but rather not pay the extra fee! I don't want anyone to be disappointed after purchase.

Mulally wanted to kill Lincoln as late as last year, Fields vows to turn it around

Mon, 30 Jun 2014

Lincoln fans might want to give incoming Ford CEO Mark Fields a pat on the back for having a hand in saving the brand from the chopping block last year. He's among the people spearheading the rejuvenation of the division away from its stodgy image to appeal to younger customers.
According to two unnamed sources speaking to Bloomberg, CEO Alan Mulally was ready to kill Lincoln last year. Following the slow production ramp-up of the MKZ combined a with a costly ad campaign, Mulally was frustrated and openly suggested dropping the brand. However, Fields and Jim Farley, Ford's marketing boss, convinced the CEO that the brand was worth saving. They also created a plan to prevent similar problems for new models in the future.
It seems that one part of the strategy may involve waiting until new models are at dealers before starting a big ad campaign for them. Lincoln global director, Matt VanDyke, recently told Autoblog that the division is holding off on a full marketing push behind the new MKC crossover to prevent the supply problems that plagued the MKZ last year. Its big offensive begins in the fall when the CUVs are at all of the dealers and consumers are at home watching more TV. VanDyke also told Bloomberg that Fields, Farley and Joe Hinrichs, Ford president of the Americas, have more direct oversight over new product launches now.

Spy shooter claims proof of upcoming aluminum Ford F-Series Super Duty

Thu, 26 Jun 2014

Ford has already confirmed that the 2015 F-150 (pictured above) was just the beginning for its more extensive use of aluminum. CEO Alan Mulally said it himself during the 2014 Detroit Auto Show. We've even already seen the future Raptor testing with an aluminum body. But a recent discovery from an intrepid spy photographer might indicate that the lightweight metal is coming to the Blue Oval's Super Duty pickups in their upcoming generation, as well.
According to Automotive News, a spy shooter in Colorado spotted a prototype for the next-gen F-350 testing. He happened to have a magnet on hand and got close enough to check the truck out. When he held it up to the metal in the bed, it didn't stick, which signaled to him a switch from steel to aluminum.
Obviously, this claim raises some questions. Given that it was a test vehicle, one possibility is that the Blue Oval is just evaluating the feasibility of switching to aluminum for the Super Duty trucks, not necessarily committed to it yet. Ford has been testing it quite exhaustively, after all. In fact, much of the rest of the truck in question was covered in camouflage, so it's possible that the magnet failed to work along the rest of the body not because it was aluminum, but because it wasn't powerful enough to get through the disguising material. Thus, the lightweight metal's use could be far less substantial than on the new F-150. Still, it was a clever idea for the cameraman to check things out and might have given us the first hint about brand's next heavy-duty models.
