1963 Ford Falcon Ranchero on 2040-cars

This is a 1963 Ford Falcon Ranchero. I bought it to run around town in and for errands, and now must sell it due to arthritis problems that make driving a stick shift difficult. It runs and drives and has a clear California title and current registration. The good stuff: The body is pretty straight but not perfect. The interior is nice but needs a new headliner and carpet. Has a rechromed rear bumper, newer aluminum radiator, newer battery, newer wheel cylinders & master cylinder and steel brake lines (the hydraulic lines - brake lining is about 50%, u-joints are new, always starts & doesn't overheat. Bed has a little surface rust only - no rot. Tires are good. All glass is intact and in pretty good shape, all stock trim is on it. The not so good stuff: There is rot in floor both sides but has been fiberglassed over so floor is fairly solid - should be replaced; mild rot behind rear wheels at bottom of quarter & above rear wheel on rt. side - no other rot that I could find but has surface rust in other places, dent in tailgate around emblem - not real big, small dent in left door & fronts of both fenders - not bad, needs electrical work - wipers, horn, and heater don't work - all lights do, has alternator in place but should be wired better - charges but wiring should be re-done, engine runs good when warmed up but is tired - smokes some, needs a carburetor overhaul, clutch chatters some- shifts fine, drives o.k. but I only drive it around our smaller town. Overall it's a good start for a restoration project, or you could drive it while giving it the care it needs. It is not a car that you can just drive anywhere without doing some of the work it needs. Buyer is welcome to pick it up or I will work with any shipper. Shipping cost is solely the responsibility of the buyer. I live in Bishop, Ca. - 220 miles south of Reno, Nv. and 290 miles northeast of Los Angeles, Ca. I can store it up to 2 weeks but it must be paid for within 7 days of auction close. There is a $250.00 non-refundable deposit due within 3 days of close of auction - Paypal is o.k. for the deposit - balance due within 7 days of close of auction in cash or cashiers check (must clear bank before car will be released) . Thanks for looking!! |

Ford hiring 2,200 salaried US workers this year
Fri, 11 Jan 2013With its influx of popular new products made in the US, Ford Motor Company has announced that it intends to hire 2,200 new salaried workers domestically this year. This is the biggest increase of salaried workers for Ford in the last 10 years, and it is all a part of Ford's contract commitment to the United Auto Workers union to bring 12,000 new jobs to the US by 2015.
There were no specifics as to where in the US these job openings will be, but Ford did reiterate that it will be spending $773 million on equipment upgrades and capacity expansion at six plants located in southeast Michigan; as a whole, Ford is investing a total of $6.2 billion to its US assembly plants over the next couple years. According to recently appointed president of the Americas Joe Hinrichs, the new jobs will be focused on areas such as engineering, manufacturing and computer software. Ford will post its job openings online at careers.ford.com, and it will also use social media sites like Facebook and Twitter to recruit new workers, including military veterans.
Scroll down for more about Ford's planned job growth as well as how to go about applying for said openings.
Ford Figo concept unveiled in India
Mon, 03 Feb 2014Ford has officially unveiled the Figo Concept at the 2014 Auto Expo in New Delhi. While it may wear a concept badge, we'd argue this little sedan, which is under 12 feet long, looks ready to replace the current Figo and do battle with other B-segment cars in the world's emerging markets.
"With the Figo Concept, we are showing that choosing a compact sedan does not mean compromising on premium design or smart solutions," said Kumar Galhotra, Ford's VP of engineering, global product development. That premium design includes Ford's familial, trapezoidal grille and Fusion-esque headlights in front, while the rear end reminds us of the last-generation Focus Coupe. While that car wasn't exactly attractive, the chopped off tail looks pretty nice on this smaller car. And if you really don't like the looks of the Figo Concept, just remember - it looks better than the current production model. Aerodynamically, the Figo's shape is quite slippery, which means reduced wind noise and improved fuel economy.
As for the "smart solutions" touted by Galhotra, the narrow confines of Indian streets make driving even the tiniest cars a challenge. To give the Figo Concept a one-up on the competition, Ford has fitted power-folding mirrors that sport a "flexible architecture," which should stand up well to bumps from cars, people or bikes. We don't have any interior images, but Ford is promising a large cabin, that includes a dock that can accommodate a phone or MP3 player, allowing either to be controlled through the car.
NHTSA will investigate some Ford Fusion, Lincoln MKZ models for power steering issue
Tue, 07 Oct 2014The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration is opening an investigation into the 2010-2012 Ford Fusion, Fusion Hybrid and Lincoln MKZ, the 2012 MKZ Hybrid and 2011 Mercury Milan because the agency has hundreds of complaints of electric power steering failure in these models.
According to NHTSA's data, it has received 508 complaints of the power steering allegedly suddenly malfunctioning and resulting in increased effort to turn the wheel. In four incidents, these failures resulted in loss of control and crashes. According to the reports, in some cases a power steering warning message came on as the fault occurred, and other times the system restored itself by turning off and then restarting the vehicle. NHTSA said it has also received further field report data from Ford, but that information hasn't been publicly released yet.
For the moment, there isn't a recall for this failure on these models. NHTSA is just investigating them to "assess the scope, frequency and safety consequences of the alleged defect," and the agency says an estimated 938,000 vehicles could potentially be affected.
