You are looking at a 1961 Ford Ranchero that I restored for myself as a daily driver. I bought this car from the original owner a few years ago. He had replaced all of the steering components and shocks and then parked it for about 8 years, which is when I got it. It has right around 23,000 original miles. This is one of those cars that every one looks at when it drives by. I have spent the last 3 years restoring this Ranchero as a fun way to save gas around town. I have spent countless hours on this car and I don't even want to add up the money I've spent. So, let's get to the details!

The engine (200 cu. in. inline 6) and transmission (C4 automatic) are out of a 1969 Ford Mustang and have both been rebuilt with about 5,000 miles on them. They are in tip top shape with no problems what so ever. All the electrical works. It has a new aluminum radiator, new battery, newer alternator, new starter, all new belts and hoses. The brakes have been serviced and have newer brake shoes and 3 of the 4 wheel cylinders have been replaced. It also has a new driveline with u joints that was built to go with the C4 transmission. The exhaust is after market 2.5" with a glass pack.

On the inside, all the knobs have been replace, dome light, glove box liner, door light switched in the door jambs, head liner, rear panels. it has a new electric wiper motor from Newport Engineering, Panasonic CD Player and new kick panels with speakers, The carpet and door panels have been replaced and the seat is original and has been redyed, it only has 2 small tears in it after all these years. The shifter is a Hurst Pro-matic 2 and the cable is brand new. All the gauges work along with the lights in the dash. It has a Sunpro triple mini gauge set that shows water temp, voltage, and oil pressure.

On the outside, it has a custom two-tone base coat/clear coat paint job that just in itself runs into the thousands. It has new tires all around with the original Ford hubcaps and beauty rings. It has enough clear to be cut and buffed if ever wanted and it has a roll on bedliner., The tail lights are new, the headlights are new, the fuel sending unit is new. The gas tank was removed and cleaned, the fuel line has been cleaned. The under carriage has been undercoated. Any rust in the car was very minimal and has been fixed and/or replaced. The gears are 3.50 and it doesn't have overdrive. I usually drive it about 65 mph with no problems. Any faster and it starts to get a little loud, but that's ok because the stereo works great! All of the weatherstripping has been replaced, new window rubbers, felts, hood to cowl seal, radiator support seal, rear bumper seal. Drives straight, brakes straight.

This is a great running car that is supposed to be just that. I didn't make a show car, but I made a solid 8.5 out of 10 to turn heads and have fun while doing it. It wouldn't take much to make this a 10, some new chrome and glass along with some minor details is all it should take because that is all that is left! Everything else has been done for you with quality. Please look closely at all the pictures and check out the video, if you have any questions, feel free to ask me. I love this truck and would probably keep it forever, but we are buying a new house and this is part of making that move happen. I am sad to see it go, but my loss is your gain. Feel free to fly out and drive it home. I wouldn't be scared to take it cross country right now! If you would like to ship it home, then please arrange that on your own and I can assist from my end where needed. As anything can happen with even the newest of cars, this one is sold as is, where is with no warranty.

2015 Ford Mustang to make world debut on Dec. 5 [w/video]

Tue, 19 Nov 2013

Between a bevvy of spy shots, speculative renders and insidery images from the halls of Car and Driver, we've got a pretty decent idea of what the 2015 Ford Mustang might look like. Still, we're excited to see the real deal as soon as possible.
Turns out that Ford has told us just when that first official look might come, too, although it has chosen somewhat of a backdoor fashion for dropping the news.
The video below popped up on the Ford Mustang YouTube channel this morning, promoting a social media effort called #MustangInspires on. The video and hashtag ask fans of the pony car to share pictures of the car - or "photographic stories of inspiration" - on Instagram, Facebook, Twitter, etc. But the truly interesting part of the video description is that which mentions taking "the cover off the all-new Mustang" on December 5. Consider our calendars marked.

Ford unveils all-new 2016 F-650 and F-750 at NTEA

Tue, 04 Mar 2014

Medium-duty work trucks might not be the most exciting vehicles, but they perform necessary jobs everyday. Ford is in the process of a complete refresh of its entire commercial vehicle lineup over the next 18 months, and it is debuting the all-new versions of its F-650 and F-750 trucks at the NTEA Work Truck Show in Indianapolis, IN.
"The all-new F-650/F-750 allow us to leverage our strengths and sales leadership in Classes 1 to 5 to create a better F-650/F-750 that's designed, engineered and built by Ford in the USA," said Ford spokesperson Mike Levine to Autoblog via email.
Huge amounts of torque is vital for trucks like these, and both models are offered with some of Fords biggest engines. Buyers can opt for either the 6.7-liter Power Stroke V8 diesel with TorqShift 6-speed automatic with available power takeoff or a gasoline-fueled 6.8-liter V10 with a 6-speed automatic. The V10 can also be ordered from the factory to be fueled by compressed natural gas or liquid propane gas.
