"1963 Ford Ranchero"

This is a VERY nice driver quality Ranchero!! The odometer reads 70686 and is believed to be the actual mileage from what I was told when I bought it. But, I can not verify this because the title shows the mileage as exempt.

The actual VIN number for this Ranchero is 3R27U145879. The title is a clear Indiana title in my name.

This Ranchero has the 170 cu. in. 6 cylinder engine, 3-speed (on-the-tree) manual transmission and manual steering and brakes.

***EXTERIOR COLOR--Pearl White ***INTERIOR COLOR--Red and White (Nice bench seat has small tears in seam.) ***NEW INTERIOR PARTS--Carpet, door panels, arm rests, door felts and seals. Headliner is in good condition. ***GAUGES--All gauges (Speedometer, gas gauge, temperature gauge) are functional. ***ENGINE--Original stock 170 cubic inch 6 cylinder that runs GREAT! Recent valve adjustment. ***NEW (UNDER THE HOOD) PARTS--Rebuilt stock 1-barrel carburetor, new starter, new distributor, new points, plugs, plug wires, new fuel pump, new battery and new solenoid. ***OTHER NEW PARTS--New gas tank with new fuel sending unit. New Monroe "Sensa-Trac" load-adjusting rear shocks and new Monroe front shocks. Front end suspension and steering are good with no issues. The lower control arms have also been replaced at some point. ***TRANSMISSION--Original stock 3-speed manual transmission with fresh fluids that shifts well through all gears. New output shaft seal. ***BRAKES--Drum brakes that work well and have been gone through on all 4 wheels. ***TIRES & WHEELS--Newer 14" chrome wheels with FORD chrome center caps and newer white-wall tires that are like new!! ***STEREO--New Pioneer AM/FM/CD/MP3 player with Bluetooth and remote control mounted in the glovebox. New 3-way Pioneer speakers mounted in rear behind seat and New 2-way Pioneer speakers mounted in front kick panels. Original radio in dash, but is not functional. ***WINDOW GLASS--All windows are in great condition. ***BUMPERS--Good condition. ***BED/TAILGATE--Truck bed is in good condition with no holes. Tailgate works properly.  

All of the parts listed above as being NEW were put on or in the Ranchero within the past 1-2 years!! This Ranchero has had a restoration sometime in the past, but I am not sure when. The floorpans have been repaired in the past before I bought it. They are solid and functional, but not reproduction floorpans!! Overall, this Ranchero is solid and it looks GREAT!! But, it is not perfect! Mechanically, it is near perfect and runs and drives GREAT!! This Ranchero is a BLAST to drive and always draws attention wherever I go!! Circumstances change, so I have decided to sell it. I HAVE SET A VERY LOW RESERVE ON THIS RANCHERO!! Especially, when you consider the overall condition and everything that has been done to it!! I also have a 1963 Ford Falcon Futura 4-door sedan that is a original factory 260 cu. in. V-8 engine, automatic transmission car with factory power steering. It has 63530 ACTUAL miles!! I bought this car, just in case, I ever wanted to put a V-8 in the Ranchero!! I am going to put it on Ebay later. 

***TERMS OF SALE--A $500.00 Deposit (Non-Refundable) is required within 24 hours of auction ending and the balance due after the deposit must be PAID IN FULL within 7 days of auction end. Pickup must be within 7-10 days, unless other arrangements are made with seller!! NO SHIPPING, unless buyer makes all arrangements and payment for shipping!! I will assist in any way I can, if buyer chooses to have the Ranchero shipped.

Ford won't be releasing GT500 lap times for the 'Ring, or any other car

Wed, 27 Nov 2013

Trucks have towing capacity, EVs have driving range and performance cars have Nürburgring lap times. What do all three have in common? They should all be taken with a grain of salt. Currently, there is no sanctioned way to record lap times or verify production-spec cars - a lesson we recently learned with the 2015 Nissan GT-R Nismo - and until there is a way to do so (and there probably never will be), we'll never officially know the actual time it took for Ford to lap the 'Ring with its ultra-powerful Shelby GT500.
After posting a Ford-made video of a 2013 GT500 running around the 'Ring, the guys over at SVTPerformance.com (an enthusiasts forum not affiliated with Ford or SVT) wanted more answers. They got in touch with Ford's Global Performance Vehicle Chief Engineer Jamal Hameedi, who said until there is a way to verify the times and inspect the cars, Ford will not get involved with lap-time wars. In the email, Hameedi pointed out that the 'Ring is a useful tool in that it allows a wide spectrum of track conditions, but until there is a governed way to record times, there is no way to accurately compare cars head-to-head.
And as much as some may not like it, Hameedi speaks the truth. It really isn't possible to compare times from one car to another, unless those cars were lapping the same track at the same time with the same driver. Not that any of this means there won't be continuous wars by fans and manufacturers alike... in other words, feel free to voice your opinions in the Comments below.

US Air Force Thunderbirds Mustang fetches $400K at auction

Wed, 07 Aug 2013

For the last six years, Ford has created a special version of the Mustang with a military aviation theme, and then donated the car to the Experimental Aircraft Association (EAA) to be auctioned off at the annual AirVenture event, also known as The World's Greatest Aviation Celebration. The money raised goes to the EAA Young Eagles program to inspire the "aviation pioneers of tomorrow," and this year's 2014 Ford Mustang GT US Air Force Thunderbirds Edition was won with a final bid of $398,000.
Celebrating 60 years of the USAF's Thunderbirds, this Mustang GT is the only one of its kind with a paint job matching the Thunderbirds' F-16 Falcon jets and some Ford Racing performance added on for good measure. Including this car, Ford has helped raise around $2.3 million for the charity with the biggest auction price coming from the first year of the program, the F-22 Raptor-inspired Mustang AV8R from 2008, which sold for $500,000.

Ford, GM still doing new business with Takata amidst airbag crisis

Thu, Nov 20 2014

Lengthy vehicle development times make it difficult for automakers to cut and run from the supplier. You might expect automakers to be fleeing any connection with beleaguered supplier Takata in the wake of the company's exploding airbag inflator crisis. After all, with a Senate hearing, pending lawsuit, plummeting stock value and demand for a national recall, the tier-one supplier isn't at its strongest right now. However, years of cooperation mean that automakers are standing by Takata, and necessity may be playing a role, as well. About 39 percent of Takata's business comes from airbags, and seatbelts make up another significant chunk of the operation too, says Bloomberg. The long-term relationships and lengthy vehicle development times make it difficult for automakers to cut and run from the supplier. "Takata has so much product breadth that I don't really see that they could just disappear," said AutoPacific analyst Dave Sullivan to Bloomberg. For example, Takata helped develop the unique front center airbag with General Motors in models like the Chevrolet Traverse and Buick Enclave. Outside of safety tech, it is also a partner with Ford on the adaptive steering system available on the upcoming 2015 Edge. These long-lasting partnerships make change difficult now that there's a problem. According to Reuters, automakers claim it would take a year or longer to set up with a different supplier for replacement airbag inflators. Switching to a completely different part for the repairs might not be a viable option either, because of the engineering time needed. BMW is taking action, though. According to Reuters, the Bavarian brand is working with the supplier to move inflator production from Monclova, Mexico, to a Takata factory in Freiburg, Germany. The Mexican plant may be the source of some of the faulty parts. News Source: Bloomberg, ReutersImage Credit: Jens Meyer / AP Photo BMW Ford GM Safety Takata airbag recall
