1958 Ranchero 390 V8 Auto Runs 7 Drives "rancher" Emblems on 2040-cars
Santa Clarita, California, United States
If I have not covered anything that is important to you let me know! I cant remember every detail or issue. I have several old cars that I play around with. I'll do anything I can to help you feel confidant in buying it. Check the vin for details. Door data code plate was painted over I did not remove the paint off it. Its hard to make out the details of it. Pretty sure it was originally white but total complete blue repaint. Door jams, dash etc. You can see even under the SS bed rail trims it was painted blue. I determined it because white was the last color before reaching the factory dark brown primer. I have uploaded as many pictures as I can. Choosing the ones that should matter the most. I have more available that I can send you via email/Txt. Or I'll take what you want me to. Simply put txt me and say you want more pic and of what and I will send them. This is a very cool Ranchero. The emblems that go on the rear area say RANCHER I don’t know why. Clean clear title in my name Tags good until 1/15 I was driving it 2/3 times a week around town mostly to lunch, or trying to be cool with a vehicle that not everyone has, until reverse became almost nonexistent/working. It works but you have to rev it high to get it to engage and go backwards. Has a 390 from what I don't know. I bought it that way. I'm pretty sure I have all the moldings and trim pieces. I have pictures that I can txt or email you to show how complete it was and the condition when I bought it. Basically to show that its all there. I obviously took some trim pieces off to strip the paint. I have the gas tank access door. Brand new 4core high flow brass radiator $400 Yup it has "some" rust, not a lot, but you know exactly how much, look at the pictures I can’t hide anything. I’ve removed most of the paint to prove it. The spare tire holder has 2 layers of sheet metal only the top layer is heavily rusted where the water would have drain down into the bottom layer which is where the 1inch hole is for the water to drain out. Rear bumper is slightly bent and has some rusty spots. It does bolt up to the brackets. Drivers upper door frame needs to be welded pic of problem. Windshield and pass door glass cracked broken Its 56 years old so not perfect but for the most part very solid. Not very many of these left in this condition. It took me a while to find this one. Who cares why I want to sell it, but if you really want to know, this is why. My son and I have moved on to 66 T-birds you can see in some of the pictures. Otherwise it would not be for sale. I don't care why you want to buy it. I only care that it sells. It can be picked up within 45 days after completing the sale, maybe longer if we talk about it. It is kept inside a temperature controlled garage. I also can take it to a shipper or transport if needed anywhere close to the Los Angeles area at no charge. There is a 75% chance that I’m driving to upstate NY to see my son play semi pro baseball and for a fee I can drop it off to you on my way. Probably leaving 2/3rd week in July. We can talk about it. Any question or concerns call me tom 661 286 1171. |

How Ford made its 2015 Ford Mustang safer for toupee wearers [w/video]
Fri, 28 Feb 2014Ford is ready to tell the story of its 2015 Mustang Convertible, the can't-miss bits being the easier, quicker and quieter roof operation, a more robust roof build for a coupe-like cabin noise, more trunk space, better visibility and reduced in-cabin buffeting. The top release system has been completely redesigned with a single, center-mounted latch on the windshield frame instead of the dual latches of before. The driver can now release the roof without having to lean over into the passenger space, after which the top goes down fully automatically with the press of a button. Ford doesn't say how long it takes to stow, but it's apparently done in half as much time as before, so figure around 8 seconds.
The roof uses a five-bow structure, with the fabric outer and full inner headliner sandwiching ten millimeters of insulation. Detailing work on the top has eliminated "unsightly folds" in the corners when the roof is up and made it more compact when down; its Z-fold assembly is 6.7 inches lower than before at its highest point when put down. Ford says the new electric drive internals make less noise when in operation, and the fully-finished droptop look is achieved with snap-in caps that flank the rear seating and stow in the trunk when not in use (the outgoing Mustang's top was higher and the front when folded and always looked like it was catching air and creating drag).
The compact roof and newly independent rear suspension setup in back means liberated trunk space, 11.4 cubic feet ready to swallow golf bags and tourist swag. You can read a lot more about it in the press release below, check it out in the short video of running footage and learn about the aerodynamic improvements made to the entire Mustang lineup that decrease drag and increase fuel economy.
Jay Leno sees how the other half lives with CHP cop cars new and old
Mon, 01 Jul 2013Comedian Jay Leno is changing gears from driving fast cars to checking out some of the police cruisers that regularly chase down and dish out punishment to those fast cars. In this episode of Jay Leno's Garage, we get the lowdown on the modifications made to the Ford Explorer for the Interceptor package (which looks pretty tough in its California Highway Patrol livery).
The new Ford is cool, but cooler still are the pack of classic CHP cars that Jay has along for the episode. A 1982 Mustang, 1966 Dodge Polara, 1970 Mercury Monterey and 2000 Crown Victoria are all in the shop. Better still, Jay lays out an argument for ones of the classic cruisers as the best cop car of all time. Get your guesses in now, and then scroll down to watch and learn.
Ford announces two recalls, 442k vehicles affected in North America
Wed, May 27 2015Ford is announcing two recalls for North American that affect a total of 442,300 vehicles and multiple model lines. The larger campaign covers the possibility of electric power steering systems that can fail in the 2011-2013 Ford Flex, Taurus, Lincoln MKS, and MKT; the 2011-2012 Ford Fusion and Lincoln MKZ; and the 2011 Mercury Milan. This recall affects 422,814 vehicles in North America, including 393,622 in the United States, 25,195 in Canada, and 3,997 in Mexico. According to the company, an intermittent electrical connection can cause the power steering to cut out, although manual steering would still work. Ford knows of four minor accidents from this issue, but there are no injuries. Depending on trouble codes from the vehicle, dealers will either upgrade software for the power steering control module or replace the steering gear. The second recall covers 19,486 examples of the 2015 Ford Mustang with the 2.3-liter EcoBoost turbocharged four-cylinder engine with a production date between February 14, 2014, and February 10, 2015 at the Flat Rock Assembly Plant. Specifically, there are 19,095 of these in the US and 391 in Canada. These pony cars can show elevated underbody temperatures, which can lead to degradation of the fuel tank, fuel vapor lines, and parking brake cable seals. There are no reports of accidents, injuries or fires from this, though. To fix things, dealers will install a better-insulated fuel tank shield, add thermal patches around the tank and parking brake cable, and put thermal wraps around the fuel vapor lines. You can read the specific build dates and locations for the models affected by the power steering issue in Ford's press release below the video.
