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

Ford reveals EcoBoost-powered Riley prototype for Daytona 24
Tue, 01 Oct 2013It's not the first time Ford has participated in the Daytona Prototype class as an engine supplier, but in revealing this new EcoBoost V6-powered Riley Technologies prototype for the new United SportsCar Championship, Ford is making a statement: "We want to show Ford EcoBoost's capabilities as an engine that provides both performance and fuel economy, on and off the track," says Jamie Allison, director of Ford Racing.
In addition to supplying the 3.5-liter twin-turbocharged V6, Ford had its production designer Garen Nicoghosian give the racecar brand-inspired design cues with support from Ford Racing chief aerodynamicist Bernie Marcus.
The car is scheduled to compete at next year's Rolex 24 at Daytona on January 25-26, but before that, Michael Shank Racing is working with Ford at another goal. Driving his Ford Thunderbird, NASCAR champion Bill Elliott set the track's top speed record at 210.364 miles per hour during a qualifying run for the Daytona 500 - way back in 1987 -- and Ford thinks it's about time for that record to fall. What better time the introduction of this new Ford-powered Daytona Prototype? Michael Shank Racing plans to use the twin-turbo V6-powered racer to beat Elliott's record, and it expects to begin prepping for the top-speed run on October 9. Scroll down for the full press release below on Ford's latest race effort.
Shelby to auction 2012 GT350 No. 1 in Vegas
Thu, 19 Sep 2013With Shelby preparing to wind down production of its brutal GT350, a 624-horsepower Mustang that's meant to go up against the Roush Stage 3 in the world of tuned Ford ponycars, the Las Vegas-based tuner is looking to give back to one lucky customer. It'll auction off the very first GT350 ever produced, at the 2013 Barrett-Jackson auction in Las Vegas, a three-day event that runs from September 26 through September 28.
The GT350 is a monster, with a 5.0-liter, supercharged V8 that's been tuned well past 600 horsepower in a time when Ford's own Shelby-branded GT500 barely reached 550 horsepower. The GT350 is much louder than Ford's effort, too, both visually and audibly. The wide body look isn't what we'd call conventional, but on a car that sounds and goes like this, something extreme is needed. According to Shelby American's vice president of production, Gary Davis, "Carroll was very excited about the new wide body option, so that was included on this car. It's the first 2012 GT350 serial number from our anniversary year. It is a very special car." Wilwood brakes, a massaged suspension, and some very fat, sticky tires add to the Shelby experience.
This particular GT350 will be lot number 750, and will cross the Barrett-Jackson stage on Sunday, September 28.
Shelby Mustang stars with Ethan Hawke, Selena Gomez in Getaway movie
Thu, 06 Jun 2013Car movies. We keep watching them, they keep making them. Despite Fast & Furious 6 still blowing up the box office (No. 1 in theaters for the second straight week) and production on Transformers 4 being well underway (check out the Bugatti Veyron and Corvette Stingray as new cast members), there's still room on the marquee for more car movies. Next one up is an Ethan Hawke joint called Getaway, which prominently co-stars a Ford Shelby GT500. The first trailer for Getaway, which opens in theaters on August 30, was released yesterday and can be watched below.
The movie's plot centers around Hawke's character, former race car driver Brent Magna, who must somehow use this car, what appears to be a generation-old Shelby GT500 Super Snake he "commandeered," to save his wife. The movie's third co-star is Selena Gomez, whose character we're told is the owner of said Shelby. A 20-year-old having a car like this seems a bit far-fetched - especially in Europe - and on paper, this plot looks like it cribs liberally from Charlie Sheen's 1994 The Chase. But all we've got to go on is a brief plot description and the trailer below, so we'll withhold judgment until the studio firmly has our ticket money in its grasp.
The Shelby GT500 is, of course, no stranger to acting. Before this jump to celluloid, the most fearsome of all Mustang models starred in the return of Knight Rider to television on NBC back in 2008. That gig didn't pan out for the car, the show lasting only one season and 17 episodes. In fact, with its casting in Getaway, the Shelby GT500 is one of the few actors who escaped that debacle with a future in show biz.
