1965 Ford
Falcon Ranchero Deluxe
A very nice 65 Ranchero that needs very little to be cherry. A little over 107K original miles (average 2,140) miles per year since new. Starts, idles and runs GREAT!! An original California car with little to no rust. Now located in Austin, TX. Floor boards solid. It appears to be undercarriage sprayed at the factory when new. I am the 3rd owner since new, you would be the 4th. Here is the list of conditions and what has been done to it in the past year: Engine - Full
tune up, plugs, air filter & oil change. Engine is tight, doesn’t leak or blow smoke,
and runs like a scared striped-arsed monkey when floored. This is a VERY nice stock 289V8 with lots of
power. First year 289V8 from the
factory and same as the 65 Ford Mustang. Transmission (Cruise-o-matic 3 speed on the tree) shifts as it should and drops down nicely into lower gear when floored. Has factory
AC (just needs to be charged). Has a small leak somewhere bud runs cold when charged. Should be an easy fix for an AC guy. Serviced rear differential New u-joints New battery New engine & transmission mounts Professionally rebuild stock 2bbr Autolite carb by Gotta Fish Carbs >> One of the best in the business. Brakes gone thru and repaired to perfect working condition. All new
interior (seat, carpet, headliner, door seals & wind lace) from only top of
the line Falcon internet websites with original type color and material. New old stock Sanyo high powered AM/FM cassette stereo installed and the original working AM radio comes with the car. New radiator with 50-50 Prestone antifreeze New AC
radiator Heater core rebuilt and blows hot air (when on). You want one that has already been rebuilt, trust me on this one! New fuel pump. Chrome bumpers front and back are nice as well as the front grill. Vintage radio shack CB installed with PA speaker in the engine compartment to scare old ladies, dogs, kids, hippies, Irishmen, etc.. New whitewall tires Original spinner hubcaps (worth $100 each by themselves)! Original door panels still in decent shape Original dash (cracked) but still nice and useable as is. Glass is good. All electrics work fine. Brake lights, back up lights, headlights, inside door lights, dash lights, horn. Cigarette lighter doesn’t work but may just need a new filament, I don’t smoke so don’t really care. Should be a simple fix. This ol truck only needs a few things to make it REAL nice. Needs some
minor body work done. There are little dings, dents, holes and scratches around the truck in various places (its 50 years old). Needs a
paint job or drive as is as I have been doing. Original
exterior color was the same as the inside of the cab but was repainted yellow by the 2nd owner back in the day. Everyone loves the
yellow so Id personally keep it that color. Its been touched up in various areas to match the
yellow paint and is presentable but certainly not perfect by any means. Still gets numerous
thumbs up every time I drive it. Overall, a very nice original condition (as most you can do) 50 year old Falcon Ranchero which are very collectable and gaining collectable status and increased value. The 1965 is arguably the best year and certainly the best of this model that ran from 1960 to 1965 with 1964 & 1965 being specific body years with the cool body lines running front to rear. To find one virtually rust free and major accident free is rare. My price is very fair and all work was done as quality as I could do it. A LOT of time and money have been put into this ol gal. Only reason I'm selling is lack of room and I have other projects to work on now. The misc. trinkets and personal items shown in the pictures are mine and do not convey with the vehicle. I do however have another Bobs Big Boy Bobblehead that I can include (if you want Bob that is). Car cover comes with it as well as Owners Manual and other misc. paperwork Ive collected for it. Bought from the estate of the 2nd owner out of Arizona. According to the family, the 2nd owner owned a service station in California and babied the engine and worked on this truck himself. I'm assuming that's why its mechanically in such good shape. Buyer is responsible for pick up (at their cost) and can be picked up anytime after July 20th. Bid with confidence with my 100’s of positive feedbacks. All information provided is to the best of my knowledge and deemed reliable, but not guaranteed. Sold in as-is condition (due to age) but I wouldn’t have any concern driving this car/truck anywhere. Always starts, always reliable (has been for me). Drive as is or finish it up, all the hard work is done. Clear Texas Title in my name. You should be very happy with this one if you win the auction, good luck and happy bidding!

Lego provides one of the cheapest ways to own a Bugatti Chiron
Tue, Jan 3 2017Just over a month ago, we got a look at one of the latest Lego Speed Champions sets when Ford revealed the GT and GT40 kit. Now we get to see the rest of the lineup, and it's chock full of F1 and supercar goodness. The official Lego images show that the Bugatti Chiron, Mercedes-AMG GT3, Ferrari FXX K, and F1 cars from Ferrari and Mercedes all made the cut. Each set gets some unique features and most include interchangeable wheel covers. The Chiron comes with some tiny cones suitable for desk slaloms and the Mercedes-AMG GT3 gets an alternate nose. The FXX K comes has the most impressive selection of accessories, though, as it includes a dyno and engine run stand. The F1 sets are divided similarly, but with Mercedes getting more extras. The Brick Fan also reports that the Mercedes kit may be exclusive to select stores. The Ferrari kit only comes with a starting light, but the Mercedes set includes a garage, starting lights, and winner's circle. It'll be up to you whether you put Hamilton or Rosberg in that winner's circle. According to The Brick Fan, these kits are set for release in winter 2017. Since the Ford GT set has a release of March 1, we expect the rest will hit stores in the next couple of months. They're sure to be great additions to anyone's existing Lego garage.

Ford unveils next-gen S-Max in Europe
Tue, 16 Sep 2014Let's get this unfortunate though important tidbit out of the way right off the bat: The Ford S-Max isn't sold in the United States, and it's not coming here, at least not anytime soon. And so it's with our European friends in mind that we share this information about the next-gen S-Max (previewed about a year ago in concept form) that is set to debut all across Europe next year and will be shown off at the upcoming Paris Motor Show. Now, moving on...
As with the first-gen S-Max, the new model will boast seating for seven passengers, along with a decent amount of storage space, all packed into a relatively reasonably sized package. Powering the front wheels (or optionally all four) will be the buyer's choice of EcoBoost gasoline-turbocharged or turbo-diesel four-cylinder engines along with automatic and manual transmission options. Included in the mix is a new 1.5-liter EcoBoost with 160 horsepower, though the 240-horse 2.0 is likely to be seen as the headliner.
There are all kinds of new technologies on offer, ranging from Adaptive Steering to Dynamic LED Headlamps with Glare-Free Highbeams, and it's all housed inside new, more sleekly designed bodywork riding atop a chassis with new suspension architecture designed to make the S-Max a people-hauler that's still fun to drive. For all the details, we suggest you scroll down below to read through Ford's official press release.
Shelby Mustang stars with Ethan Hawke, Selena Gomez in Getaway movie
Thu, 06 Jun 2013Car movies. We keep watching them, they keep making them. Despite Fast & Furious 6 still blowing up the box office (No. 1 in theaters for the second straight week) and production on Transformers 4 being well underway (check out the Bugatti Veyron and Corvette Stingray as new cast members), there's still room on the marquee for more car movies. Next one up is an Ethan Hawke joint called Getaway, which prominently co-stars a Ford Shelby GT500. The first trailer for Getaway, which opens in theaters on August 30, was released yesterday and can be watched below.
The movie's plot centers around Hawke's character, former race car driver Brent Magna, who must somehow use this car, what appears to be a generation-old Shelby GT500 Super Snake he "commandeered," to save his wife. The movie's third co-star is Selena Gomez, whose character we're told is the owner of said Shelby. A 20-year-old having a car like this seems a bit far-fetched - especially in Europe - and on paper, this plot looks like it cribs liberally from Charlie Sheen's 1994 The Chase. But all we've got to go on is a brief plot description and the trailer below, so we'll withhold judgment until the studio firmly has our ticket money in its grasp.
The Shelby GT500 is, of course, no stranger to acting. Before this jump to celluloid, the most fearsome of all Mustang models starred in the return of Knight Rider to television on NBC back in 2008. That gig didn't pan out for the car, the show lasting only one season and 17 episodes. In fact, with its casting in Getaway, the Shelby GT500 is one of the few actors who escaped that debacle with a future in show biz.
