1965 Ford Falcon Rancharo Deluxe. Milage 4708. I purchased this car in Feb. 2013 and this is the story that was told to me. This car was purchased new at Thompson Ford in Stillwater Okla. in Sept. 1965 by a lady named Barbara Hicks for her fiance  ( name unknown) , and co-signed by her father. It seems after a couple weeks the said fiance showed less and less interest in the impending nuptials, and after running up a gas bill of over $200.00 dollars at a local gas station , also in Barbara's name( gas being about $.30 a gallon in 1965). The father decided to locate the gentleman and retrieve the vehicle , ( which in Okla. in 1965 might have included a good old country ass whup'n). Anyway, he located him in Guthrie Okla. and brought the car back to Stillwater.      This is a factory C code car which means that it came with a 289 cu inch. engine (2V) with a 2 barrel carburetor, but it had a duel line Holly with a factory Ford aluminum 4 barrel intake which means that the dealership must have upgraded this engine. Needless to say this car is not going to get any milage over 10, and so Barbara must have realized this and parked the car behind her house under a pecan tree where it stayed for the next 40 years.  This story was told to me my the next owner, Ed Whitehead, a very interesting character in in his own right with a lifetime of great stories to tell. Ed owns and runs "Ed Muffler and Tire Center" at 2929 Perkins Rd. Stillwater Ok. and gave me permission to pass along this story.  Ed, to me seems to be in his 80's and an all around do anything kinda guy still very active in his businesses. He tells that sometime in 1999 he was doing some work for Barbara's neighbor and spotted the Rancharo in her backyard and inquired to her if the Ford was for sale. She said that he could have the car if he would build her a carport, so the deal was struck. Ed completed the job, but it seemed Barbara had second thoughts for some reason and reneged on the deal but paid him for his services.  Time passed and sometime in 2006 Ed received a call from Barbara and ask if he was still interested in the little Ford. It seemed that Barbara was a heavy smoker and was suffering from lung cancer and had accumulated considerable medical bills. He was, and purchased the the car. Now I can tell you that I saw photos of Ed dragging the car out from under the pecan tree. Ed rebuilt the brakes and muffler system and replaced parts and drove the car a short while and also didn't like the gas milage and parked it at his business soon after. The milage reads, 4709 as of today and Ed swears that the milage is accurate.  I hope that only truly interested buyers look up Ed's phone number and inquires about this story.  This car still has a few dings and wrinkles and I'm not advertising it as a perfect show car, but it still get a lot of attention when it goes by.The Buy-it now price will include the Holly carburetor and manifold that I replaced with correct equipment.

Tue, May 26 2015

Translogic heads to Ford's Research and Innovation Center in Silicon Valley for a peek behind the scenes at the latest tech being produced by the Blue Oval.

"Coming here to Silicon Valley, we really want to make a lot of progress on mobility, autonomous vehicles, [and] using analytics," said Fields. "So coming to Silicon Valley was ... to go to where the talent is, but also, importantly, to be a part of the community here." As for the GT, Ford's top boss is pleased with the tech driving the forthcoming supercar. "It's really a decades worth of innovation in areas of light-weighting, in areas of EcoBoost engines, and in areas of aerodynamics." Have an RSS feed? Click here to add Translogic.

Production of Shelby GT350 is coming to an end

Fri, 26 Jul 2013

One Autoblog staffer who drove the limited-edition Shelby GT350 wrote it probably was the best Mustang he'd driven, but, at some point, the fun had to come to an end: December 31 is the last day the GT350 will be available to order.
The GT350's option list has evolved much like it did for the original 1965-67 GT350. For 2011, the 45th Anniversary edition only came in coupe form and was painted white with blue stripes, just as with the 1965 car. The 2012 GT350 was offered as a coupe or convertible, and three colors were added to the option list, just like the 1966 model. For 2013, more colors and options were added in addition to equipment and styling updates, which resulted in Wilwood instead of Baer brakes. No major changes were made for the 2014 model. From the first car in 2011, customers have been able to choose between three different configurations for their 5.0-liter V8: naturally aspirated with 440 horsepower, supercharged with 525 hp (with warranty) or supercharged with 624 hp (without warranty).
"When we unveiled this latest version of the Shelby GT350, we promised it would be built for a limited time to preserve its collectability and value," states John Luft, president of Shelby American. He may have a point, because the original GT350, which also had a limited production run, is among the most valuable muscle cars in the world.

2016 Ford Focus RS may yet be AWD, US sales likely

Fri, 29 Aug 2014

When it comes to forbidden fruit, few vehicles are spoken of in as hushed a tone as the Ford Focus RS. The turbocharged, five-cylinder hot hatch could only be seen from afar by American customers as it tore up the roads of Europe. And while it's safe to say that Ford's Yankee fans are quite happy to now be on equal footing with drivers in the old country thanks to the Focus ST, we doubt there'd be much protestation over a successor to the RS arriving stateside.
Of course, we've seen images of the new RS undergoing testing, but a new story by Road and Track aims to fill in some very large blanks in our knowledge of that car, thanks to a pair of mysterious insiders at the Ford. Chief among those is this - the RS will almost certainly make its way to the US, albeit in limited quantities. It gets better, though.
Under hood, the new RS is unsurprisingly expected to borrow the 2.3-liter, turbocharged four-cylinder from the 2015 Ford Mustang and 2015 Lincoln MKC. While that twin-scroll turbo produces 310 horsepower in the Mustang and 285 ponies in the MKC, R&T expects the RS to deliver quite a bit more firepower - 325 to 350 hp, with preference going to the higher output due to the limited-edition nature of the RS. This roughly fits with previous reports.
