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!

Formula Drift kicks off 11th season on Streets of Long Beach
Tue, 08 Apr 2014The 2014 Formula Drift series kicked off last weekend in Long Beach, and saw Chris Forsberg, who you'll recall went mad and drifted around a warehouse in an Infiniti M, take the title behind the wheel of his Hankook Tire Nissan 370Z (shown above).
Forsberg really ran away with the first round of competition, outscoring his closest opponent, second-place finisher Kenneth Moen and his Bridges Racing Nissan 240SX, by 20 points. Third place was 2013 championship winner Michael Essa and his Yokohama BMW M3, 30.5 points behind Forsberg.
In the manufacturers' title, Nissan took an early lead with 122 points, which isn't a huge surprise considering five of the top ten drifters were piloting either a Z or a product of the brand's S platform. Ford, which had two drivers (Justin Pawlak and Vaughn Gittin, Jr.) in the top ten, took home second place, while BMW is currently third in the manufacturers' standings.
Expert: 54.5 mpg CAFE standard can be reached without many plug-ins
Sat, Jan 18 2014Johnson Controls executive Brian Kesseler isn't likely to get any holiday presents this year from Nissan chief Carlos Ghosn or Tesla Motors head Elon Musk, but lots of other folks might be happy with what he has to say about automakers' efforts to reach stricter fleetwide fuel-economy standards. Speaking at the Automotive News World Congress, Kesseler said automakers wouldn't need to sell an extensive number of plug-in vehicles in order to meet the 54.5 mile per gallon Corporate Average Fuel Economy (CAFE) standard the US government set in 2012 for 2025 model-year vehicles. In fact, he said, components such as stop-start engine technology, turbochargers and direct injection may actually do the trick. Already, things like smaller engine sizes and lighter cars are already playing major roles in spurring fuel-efficiency gains. Of course, Johnson Controls sells batteries specially built for stop-start systems, so Kesseler does have a bit of skin in this game. The 54.5-mpg CAFE standard equates to about a 40-mpg "real world" fuel-efficiency level. To put that into perspective, the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) said in a report late last year that model-year 2013 average fuel economy was an even 24 mpg. That was up from 23.6 mpg for the 2012 model year and 22.4 mpg for 2011.

Weekly Recap: Marchionne's Manifesto again calls for industry consolidation
Sat, May 2 2015Sergio Marchionne isn't taking no for an answer. Despite public rebuffs from General Motors and Ford, the leader of Fiat Chrysler Automobiles continues to push for consolidation within the auto industry. His latest assertion came Wednesday when he said a combination of FCA with another automaker could net savings of $5 billion or more annually. No, this isn't about selling his company, he claimed, it's about cutting costs. Put simply, the auto industry wastes money, Marchionne said during FCA's earnings conference call. Companies invest billions to develop basic components that all cars use, but many consumers don't care how they work or recognize the differences. "About half of this is really relevant in terms of positioning the car in the marketplace," he said. "The other half, in our view, is stuff which is neither visible to the consumer nor is it relevant to the consumer." In 2014, top automakers spent more than $100 million on product development, FCA estimated. Marchionne said consolidation could save up to $1 billion on powertrains alone, noting that almost every automaker offers four- and six-cylinder engines. Not everyone has to make their own, he contended. "The consumer could not give a flying leap whose engines we are using because they are irrelevant to the buying decision." That's pretty provocative for enthusiasts, but less so for average consumers. Still, there are major differences in power and efficiency ratings, even among similar engines. Skeptics could argue consolidation would also weaken competition and reduce choices for car buyers. Marchionne stressed his presentation, curiously entitled Confessions of a Capital Junkie, wouldn't require closing factories or dealerships. It's not his final "big deal" as CEO, intent to sell FCA, or a way to elevate his company up the automotive food chain. He claims he wants to fundamentally change the industry and its habit for burning cash. "The horrible part about this, and the thing that I find most offensive, is that the capital consumption rate is duplicative," he said. "It doesn't deliver real value to the consumer and it is in its purest form, economic waste."
