Here is a 1960 Ford Ranchero with a 6 cylinder Ford engine and automatic transmission. The vehicle originally had a standard transmission and was in the middle of being refitted with the automatic, so the column shifty and clutch pedal are still installed. The previous owner assured me the motor and transmission were good, but I have not started it to see for myself. I bought this two years ago with the intention of either using it as parts car for my other Ranchero, also listed, or eventually restoring it, but so far I haven't been able to get there from here.... Even though it's a California vehicle and there isn't much in the way of rust, the floors are a different story, and they will need to be replaced as the previous owners put in really crappy patch panels throughout. Actually, the vehicle was donated to a local high school auto shop near San Diego and the floors were completely cut out and replaced with galvanized steel, but they will need to be completely cut out if you intend this for anything other than a parts vehicle. Full floors are readily available on ebay and various aftermarket suppliers, so there is no problem there. The vehicle is mostly complete with all the big stuff and has very good sheet metal front to rear. It is an original Southern California vehicle, so rust isn't much of an issue with this Ranchero. To a New Englander or Mid-Westerner, this is a completely rust-free vehicle. To a Southwesterner, this may have a little rust.... There is a little rust bubbling through over the driver's side window on the roof as shown in the photo. The only other significant body damage is at the very right rear of the vehicle below the tail light. The rear quarter was pushed in just a tad bit, but it's a bit hard to see in the photo. The front windshield and rear window are missing, and the dash wiring was removed while at the high school auto shop. The hood hinges are missing as well. I have a big container of parts, pictured, which will go with this sale. The driveline is complete including drive shaft, but I don't have a shifter for the newly installed automatic transmission. This Ranchero has the original 13 inch wheels, but no spare. I also have another 1960 Ranchero listed separately, complete and running. Depending on how the auctions go, I am willing to do a 2 for 1 deal if you wish and I am primarily looking to clear these vehicles out to make more room. I am also willing to store this/these vehicles for a reasonable amount of time, so there is no immediate hurry to get them shipped out if you need time to work out shipping or pickup details. Shipping and/or pickup is entirely at the buyer's discretion, and I am available to help as needed. Car rolls easily and won't be a problem for trailering as it is light and easily moved. I towed it 100 miles from San Diego using a car dolly, and all went well. In-person inspections are welcomed and recommended if possible. Questions?? Please ask!

Ford tops mid-year ranking of brands in the US
Thu, 18 Jul 2013YouGov's mid-year Brand Index rankings of America's best perceived brands has been released, and Ford has found its way to the top. The Dearborn, Michigan based manufacturer beat out online shopping giant Amazon, The History Channel, and home improvement superstore Lowe's, to take the top spot.
Ford jumped from sixth overall in 2012 to first for 2013, but those that have been watching these rankings shouldn't be hugely surprised. Ford was rated the best perceived automotive manufacturer by the same organization last year. The Blue Oval's success on the overall brand rankings is made all the more impressive by the complete lack of other automakers on the list.
YouGov (that is, survey respondents) cited Ford's first quarter of 2013 business, which saw an increase in market share and the best earnings recorded in over 10 years. Successfully launching the Focus and Fusion (pictured) and keeping them fresh in the minds of consumers has also contributed to Ford's best overall score.
Old vs. new debate gets new life with $25,000 Fiesta ST vs. E46 M3 showdown
Fri, 10 Jan 2014You know who you are. There's probably a few of you reading; the ones that say, "Why would I spend $27,000 on a new Mazda MX-5 when I could get a used Chevrolet Corvette with more power." Yes, we're talking to you, used car proponents. While it is a fair argument, it's not like used cars don't come with drawbacks of their own, though.
In an attempt to put this new-versus-used argument to bed once and for all, Matt Farah of the The Smoking Tire has picked up a pair of $25,000 cars - a used, but lightly modified, 2003 BMW M3 and a 2013 Ford Fiesta ST. Naturally, there's a comparison.
Farah, as he's wont to do, does get into the nitty gritty of what each car is like to drive, and discusses the merits of used and new-car shopping. But as he rightly points out while testing the M3, "So, it is a good car. But like any used car, it really does depend on the individual car."
Ford says 70% of its models to get stop-start by 2017
Sun, 15 Dec 2013Ford is following up on a report we posted a few weeks back that the Blue Oval would be adding stop-start technology to its entire model range. Now, the Dearborn-based automaker has announced that the fuel-saving feature would be available on 70 percent of the company's range by 2017.
Ford claims the technology will improve fuel economy by around 3.5 percent, although its actual effect will vary based on how the owner drives - apparently up to a 10-percent improvement is possible for those who sit in heavy traffic (Los Angelenos, this means you). The latest recipient of the technology is the updated 2014 Ford Fiesta with the company's three-cylinder EcoBoost powerplant.
Part of the reasoning for the new addition has to do with cost. Ford claims the tech is affordable and easy to implement. "Simply put, Auto Start-Stop helps customers use less fuel, which is an important component of Ford's Blueprint for Sustainability," Ford's global powertrain vice president, Bob Fascetti, said.
