Looking for the best Ranchero in existence? You just found it. This Ranchero in my opinion has got to be one of the rarest and most original condition 1965 Ford Ranchero in the WORLD...period!
As fAr as I can tell, (and it have been looking at this car for the past 11 years) the paint is original, including the paint inside the bed. The bed tells the whole story on this GEM. It looks like its never been used.
I am the forth owner of this beauty. The three previous owners were all Falcon/Ranchero enthusiasts, so it has always been very very very well cared for. The only reason the last owner sold this car was because is lost his left leg therefore he couldn't operate the clutch anymore. He debated converting it a automatic but knew that the true value of this rare ranchero is the fact that it is a factory equipped 4 speed, bucket seat car. They only made 990 of these babies in 1965.
The other rare item about this car is the side trim. The dual side chrome strips with two tone original paint makes it very hard to find.
She runs and drives beautifully down the road. I purchased her 11 years ago out of Sacramento, CA and drove her home to Los Angeles (that's about 400 miles). She purrs and handles like a dream. Since then, I have always garaged her, and taken her out for Sunday drives and car shows only. She has earned second place awards, typically only loosing out to a fully restored "frame off" contender. Most at the shows like the originality of this car and typically "drool" over her
Here is a list of features and upgrades:
Top and bottom front sway bars. (Makes the Ranchero handle great.)
Rear sway bar.(Adds even more to the handling)
Rear lowering blocks, and front A-arms have been lowered. This gives it a better stance and helps the handling too.
Power Steering
Seats have been recovered with original style covers
Chrome plastic has been "re-chromed"...to perfection I might add
Gas filler cap has been moved to inside the bed. The original one is still in place and "wired" close so it wont come out.
"Black Plates" California plates.
Original fiberglass hinged bed tonneau cover
Front disc brakes
Dual exhaust
Factory spinner hub caps. Tire are in great condition, lots of tread.
Factory tach mounted on top of dash, where its suppose to be.
California Car Cover is included as well.
What does it need:
I might go ahead and change the carpet. It's not bad, its just no perfect. It's wearing thin in a few spots.
If you have any questions please call, text or email me. Here's my info:

Ford Fusion and Fusion Hybrid nab five-star ratings from NHTSA
Thu, 24 Jan 2013Ford's Fusion and Fusion Hybrid have both received the highest five-star overall safety rating from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration. The rating is a big upgrade for the Fusion, which was completely redesigned for 2013. The previous model fell one star short of the top rating, after scoring only three stars in the frontal crash test and four stars in the side crash test and rollover evaluations. The 2013 Fusion received four stars in side crash and rollover testing and a full five stars in the front crash test.
Test results for the 2013 Fusion and Fusion Hybrid were greatly improved at least in part due to Ford's Personal Safety System. The system utilizes smarter sensors to gather crash data and tailor the car's restraint systems to the occupants. Seatbelt usage and seat position are taken into account to ensure airbags deploy with less pressure for smaller drivers, more for larger drivers.
The 2013 Fusion twins also received the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety Top Safety Pick+ designation. Read the official press release below.
Ford pulls official support from top-level NHRA teams
Sun, 11 Aug 2013As the smallest team in the sport, it wasn't really a surprise when Dodge decided to pull out of NASCAR, but Autoweek is reporting that Ford is looking to pull the plug on its professional-level NHRA sponsorships following the 2014 season. With attendance and television ratings down, the article reports that Ford is just backing out of the top series but will remain active in the Sportsman classes of racing, which are geared more toward the grassroots and semi-professional racers.
This means that one of drag racing's biggest names, John Force, will be left looking for new sponsorship after next season. Force, 64, has been with Ford for 17 years, winning 15 championships in that time and winning almost half of all Funny Car events in his Mustang since he started working with Ford in 1997, but after 2014, there could be some big shakeups at John Force Racing.
According to the report, Force would consider is moving over to the Top Fuel dragster series, although he could also move to another manufacturer to remain in the Funny Car series. With Ford on the way out, this leaves just Toyota and Dodge as the remaining active automakers in the highest levels of drag racing.
Ford adding stop-start to all major model lines
Sun, 24 Nov 2013Ford has gone all-in on its efforts to offer most of its new vehicles with a fuel-efficient EcoBoost engine, but the automaker is reportedly preparing to take another big step toward improving vehicle efficiency. Automotive News is reporting that Ford will soon expand the availability of start-stop technology, which was first offered - presumably the first non-hybrid vehicle, that is - on the 2013 Fusion (equipped with the 1.6-liter EcoBoost engine) as a $295 option.
The benefit of start-stop is reduced fuel consumption as it shuts the engine off at long stops, and AN quotes Ford as saying that drivers can save more than $1,000 on fuel costs over five years. Despite this, the option hasn't been popular on the Fusion thus far, but it could be more beneficial on bigger vehicles like the F-150. Ford also said that the next-gen Edge, which was previewed in concept form at the LA Auto Show, will be equipped with auto start-stop to help make the EcoBoost engines even more efficient.
