This Ranchero was a one owner car until I purchased 2012. It spend it whole time in Carlsbad, Ca. The vehicle went into storage sometime in 1997 or 98, owner not sure. I have all receipts dateing back to 1983 up to 1996. The last recorded mileage was 89286. Today mileage is 91268. I have receipts for over $1000.00 that I spent getting the car updated. All receipts will go with the vehicle. Here is a list of most of the installed. All fluids, oil, water, brake fluid and trans fluid. Power steering control valve and pump. Shift collar, battery, turn signal switch, power steering hoses (2), Head light switch, Fuel tank fill hose, radiator over flow tank, neutral safety switch, lighter, driver side window regulator, glove box and other miscellaneus items. This car also has a trailer hitch.
What it need machinicaly it may need a fuel sending unit or the wires going to sending unit is problem. I did test the fuel gauge and it is working using a test system. The carburetor needs adjusting. The lower DS door hinge need a spring which will go with the car. The clock does not work. The radio works fine.
After getting the car running it starts on first try with just one pump. It drives very nice except for a slight hesitation on fast acceleration. This is why I think the carb needs adjusting. It drives true and straight and feel strong and is quiet. The tires look new but were purchased sometime before 4/1/93
The body looks original with only three small problems. The only rust is a strip on the tailgate that holds tailgate panel on at the bottom. The strip is about 1 inch wide and the length of the tailgate. It is screwed on and should be replaced. There is a dent on the right rocker panel. see picture, and a repair done on the right rear over the wheel well that could have been done better. I took a picture but I don't think it shows in the picture. The car was repainted in Feburary 1993 as receipts show. There are a few chips and a spot where the paint has come off, it is about roughly 2 x 5 inches. The floor pants show NO signs of rust as well as the body. The interior is missing one arm rest and could use new door panels and seat covers.
California black plates not included in sale......
I've done my best to describe the car and if you have any questions please ask.
It is a very good daily driver and a good starting point for restoration which I was planning, but due to health problems at 72 years old I no longer can do any work.

Ford books $1.2B profit in second quarter on strength of trucks
Wed, 24 Jul 2013Ford is rolling along nicely, with a positive second-quarter sales report and a $2.3 billion profit in North America. The Dearborn, Michigan-based manufacturer captured $1.2 billion globally from April to June, with a $177 million profit in Asia. Even in Europe, the land of doom and gloom for automakers not named Mazda, Ford saw some success as it lowered its expected full-year loss from $2 billion to $1.8 billion. The company lost $348 million in Europe during the second quarter, which, believe it or not, represents a $56-million improvement over 2012.
According to the report on CNBC, Ford enjoyed a three-percent increase in pre-market trading thanks to the news. The strong demand for the F-150 propelled growth in the US market, while Ford's 47-percent increase in Asian sales can be attributed to the new EcoSport crossover and Kuga (Ford Escape in the US) arriving in the somewhat fragile Chinese market.
Pre-tax profits for Ford are expected to be in the neighborhood of $8 billion by the end of the year, with sales the US, Europe, and China all looking up. The company also shifted $4.78 billion of asset-backed debt in the form of bonds, according to a report by Bloomberg. This move came amidst rumors of the Federal Reserve cutting back on its $85-billion-per-month bond purchases. Ford wasn't alone among automakers looking to sell off debt, though, as Mercedes-Benz and Nissan shifted around $1 billion each in bonds relating to auto loans.
Ford mulling EcoSport for US? [w/poll]
Mon, 03 Jun 2013"We certainly have that ability. We're studying it very, very closely." Those are the words of Jim Farley, global head of sales, marketing, service at Ford. The investigation Farley is referring to is the possibility of selling the company's new EcoSport crossover in America.
The diminutive Fiesta-based EcoSport was developed for emerging markets like Brazil and, more recently, China, but it apparently may have a future in the States, where it would form a new entry-level rung below the Escape in Ford's already robust crossover stable. Ford has big plans for its tiny CUV - Farley tells Automotive News that the EcoSport is only available in 10 countries right now, but by 2017, its distribution will have mushroomed to 62 countries. At the time the second-generation model launched at the 2012 Beijing Motor Show as a 2013 model, Ford said the EcoSport would eventually be sold in nearly 100 markets worldwide.
The Brazilian- and Indian-assembled EcoSport is available with a variety of gasoline-powered engines, but the 1.0-liter, three-cylinder EcoBoost giving 118 horsepower and 125 pound-feet of torque would seem to be the powertrain of choice for America, as it was recently confirmed for the stateside 2014 Fiesta.
Ford faces class-action lawsuit for selling vehicles without brake override systems
Fri, 29 Mar 2013A total of 20 Ford customers are suing the automaker in a class-action lawsuit for selling vehicles "vulnerable to unintended acceleration." According to Reuters, the suit names 30 models built between 2002 and 2010 with electronic throttle control systems but without a brake override system. Those include the 2004-2012 F-Series pickups and the 2005-2009 Lincoln Town Car. Adam Levitt, a partner with the law firm of Grant & Eisenhofer says the plaintiffs in the case want "to be compensated for their economic losses by having overpaid for cars that contained defects." Levitt contends that the plaintiffs would not have bought their vehicles or paid less for them had they known there was no brake override system in place.
Ford began installing brake override systems in its vehicles beginning in 2010. In response to the lawsuit, Ford has pointed to research by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration that indicated that unintended acceleration is mostly caused by driver error, saying in a statement that, "NHTSA's work is far more scientific and trustworthy than work done by personal injury lawyers and their paid experts."
Belville et al v. Ford Motor Co. will be heard in US District Court in the Southern District of West Virginia.
