1963 Ford Ranchero, Classic, Collectable, Investment, Dependable, Hot Rod, Red on 2040-cars
Atascadero, California, United States
|
1963 Ford Falcon Ranchero. 302 V-8 and stick shift "on the tree". Motor runs very smooth, has good oil pressure, doesn't smoke or drip, and runs cool. The transmission shifts easily and is quiet, as is the rear end. Overall very nice little truck, it is very dependable and quite presentable. It is an older restore, but has been well maintained. The interior is very nice and the paint only has a few little flaws. The truck is driven daily as needed and never lets me down. It is an original 5 lug, 260 v-8 vehicle. Parts are readily available for these trucks through several sources. Can be driven while you restore or just drive like it is. There is minor surface rust on the bumpers, might even polish out. It did have a professional repair of the common problem with the well under the front of the bed. Looks good now and is sealed well. I do have it for sale locally too, so reserve the right to end early, but vow to leave it on E-Bay once the very reasonable reserve is met. I think that is only fair. So bid early and fairly and I'll hold it for you. I have the title in hand and the vehicle is licensed and insured in my name. It is being sold as-is where is. But I can help find a shipper and will assist getting it on a transport. Or drive it home. I bought this truck from an elderly guy that used it on his small ranch for hauling dog food, chicken food etc. He had most of the work done about 10 years ago but drove it minimally and always kept it up. Please let me know if you want more pictures or have further questions. My number is (805) 462-9515 I am only selling because I've started on a Studebaker pickup project and could use the bucks! I don't have a real professional camera so hope that I am able to convey how nice it is. I didn't detail under the hood as I think the buyer should see it as it is as a driver. The previous owner did give me a complete, ($300.), wiring loom, as the original is getting old. But since everything is working I just never installed it. The loom will come with the truck. It has a spare and jack mounted behind the driver's seat.
On Jun-25-14 at 14:37:38 PDT, seller added the following information: One of the people watching this truck e mailed me and said the motor is not a 302!! It runs so strong and the previous owner told me that it was, so not being a mechanic I thought it was a 302. Today I took it to a local shop and their concensus was that it is a 289 or possibly a 260, but not a 302. I personally don't feel that it takes away from the value. But if I'm wrong, let me know. I can cancel and start over, as an option, but rather not pay the extra fee! I don't want anyone to be disappointed after purchase. |

Forza Horizon 3 adds Ford Police Interceptor, Jeep CJ5
Tue, Oct 4 2016We're only a few weeks past the debut of Forza Horizon 3, and already the folks at Turn 10 are introducing the first of six car packs for the open-world driving game. Focused heavily on performance, there are still a few, um, oddballs, including one we're sure Forza's livery customizers will have a blast with. The Smoking Tire Car Pack brings seven new vehicles to FH3, with the Aston Martin Vulcan, Pagani Huayra BC, GTA Spano, Lotus 340R, and BMW M2 repping traditional performance vehicles. As per usual, FH3 renders each car beautifully and promises a solid approximation of real-world performance – even if you do ditch the roads and opt to rampage through the Australian countryside. While performance is good, the Ford Crown Victoria Police Interceptor and the Jeep CJ5 Renegade bring an off-beat vibe to this particular pack. We aren't certain, but this might be the first time the Police Interceptor appears in a blockbuster driving game. While we expect plenty of police car liveries for the Crown Vic, Forza's rabid community of tuners and customizers are sure to do much more with it. As for the CJ5, is there a better vehicle for tooling about Australia? Yeah, we didn't think so. The Smoking Tire Car Pack is available for free as part of the Forza Horizon 3 Ultimate Edition or Car Pass program. Commitment-phobes can also download this single vehicle pack for $7.

Hyundai, BMW and Ford win Concept Vehicle of the Year awards
Sat, 06 Jul 2013More than two dozen jurors started with a pool of 23 concept cars introduced at the most recent Los Angeles, Detroit, Chicago, Toronto and New York auto shows, then pared it down to three winners in three categories for the twelfth annual North American Concept Vehicle of the Year Awards. The trophy-bearers are said to be those "vehicles most likely to shape the future of the automobile industry," and lead their classes in the Concept Car, Concept Truck and Production Preview divisions.
Hyundai had two cars as finalists for the Concept Car category, the competition boiled down to the Hyundai HCD-14 Genesis concept, Veloster C3 Roll Top, Honda EV-STER and the Toyota Corolla Furia. It won with the HCD-14 Genesis that was introduced at the Detroit Auto Show, a sharp sedan that sharply divided opinion between those who thought it was too much, those who thought it was too much Audi A7, and those who thought it was perfect. The award panel's judges, however, thought so much of it that it's got two awards in one sitting, not only taking concept car honors, but because it earned the highest overall score in the competition it also takes the crown for Most Significant Concept Vehicle of 2013.
The final selection in the Concept Truck category was down to the Ford Atlas, Kia Cross GT, Nissan Resonance and Volkswagen Cross Blue. The Ford Atlas took the silverware, after also winning the Eyes on Design award - shared with the Nissan Resonance - at the Detroit Auto Show where it was introduced.
Hertz goes Dutch with Ford Focus ST-H
Wed, 23 Oct 2013Want to take a performance car for a ride? Hertz can make that happen. Spin by your local rental location (depending, of course, on availability) and you can take out a Dodge Challenger, Ford Mustang, Chevy Camaro, even a Corvette as part of the Adrenaline Collection. Hertz's Dream Cars lineup even includes Porsches and AMGs. But the really interesting stuff is what you can't get anywhere else: cars built specifically for Hertz.
Back in 1966, Hertz had Ford cook up a special run of Mustang GT350H models in back with gold stripes. It became an icon in and of itself, and in 2008 Hertz had a new batch of Shelby GT-Hs made. Earlier this year, Hertz contracted Penske to deliver another fleet of specially-built Mustangs you can rent. But if your travel plans include a trip to the Netherlands, Hertz has a completely different type of specially-prepared Ford on offer for you.
Back in August, Ford delivered a couple of Focus STs made specifically for Hertz in Holland. Now it's expanded that fleet even further. The Ford Focus ST-H features the same 252-horsepower 2.0-liter turbo four (and everything else) as the standard Focus ST, but gets that signature black exterior with gold stripes and a black leather interior with Recaro buckets. So in case a trip to Amsterdam doesn't hold enough thrills, now you can throw a hot hatch into the mix as well. Scope out the press release (in Dutch - isn't that weird?) below.
