      1976 Ford Ranchero 500 truck. This is an interesting vehicle, and while very familiar with Mustangs and Torinos of the era, I have never owned a Ranchero in my life.                                  One of my tenants found himself in a jam with job scheduling and needed to move to FL at the last minute and could not take the Ranchero with him, thus he left it in my care to help him sell it.  I am posting it here, to sell to the highest bidder with NO RESERVE. It is a solid truck, and it runs very well.

                    It has the standard 5.7L powertrain, powered with what I believe to be either a 351M or a 400 engine in it ( the 351C would have a "2"  or a " 4" in the upper front corner of the cylinder heads. This one does not), mated to its stock C6 automatic transmission, with stock 9" differential.

The engine runs SUPER; always starts right up, idles smoothly and gets up and goes without hesitation. Very strong motor, does not burn oil or smoke. The transmission shifts well into all forward and reverse gears, without slippage. The differential is tight, with no axle noises or ring/ pinion chatter or bearing noises.

 

          The body looks fairly straight, and it looks to have had a paint job somewhat recently. It actually looks very good. There are a couple of trim bits missing; I do not know what they are or where, so please note, the car is sold exactly as you see it, nothing more or nothing less.

The Ranchero has a set of vintage slotted dish mag wheels ( in total 1970s fashion), with an older set of Comp/ TA tires. The tread on the tires is about 70% all around.

The interior is very simple, without a lot of gadgets or frills. There is some wear to the outer areas of the split bench seat as pictured ( it has a center armrest). Door panels are in good shape ( except for the snap on the lower area of the driver's, as pictured), glass on both doors is fine and both windows go up and down fine ( they are manual). NO cracks on the windshield.

 

      The registration has just been paid up all the way thru 2014. This Ford Ranchero 500 has a CLEAR California title, and it passed stringent CA Emissions inspections less than thirty days ago.

Overall, a solid workhorse, runaround truck or a great truck to soup-up or hotrod. It is listed here with a ridiculous opening bid and NO RESERVE. That being said, the Ranchero is listed in other venues as well as locally, and as such, I reserve to the right to end this auction early if a serious buyer or aBUY-IT-NOW offer presents itself.

 

  Feel free to EM or call me with questions, and I will try to provide as much information as possible. You can call (650) 430-4660 PST, no later than 9 pm please ( I have little kids).

 

      I will be glad to arrange / assist with nationwide or overseas delivery of this cool Ranchero anywhere, at the most economical shipping rate available.

 

     Should you be the winning bidder, I would like to receive payment within THREE business days, please. Instrument of payment can be a cashier's check or money order(s).                                         Personal, Business, C.C advance or annuity drafts may be utilized, but must clear all funding prior to any transportation arrangements being made.

 Additionally, a bank wire transfer may be used to my local CHASE Bank branch in San Mateo. It expedites the process considerably and allows for faster shipping arrangements.

Finally, PAYPAL may be an alternative, if arrranged between the prospective buyer and seller prior to placing a bid, and prior to the end of the auction, not afterwards.

 

     PLEASE be sure to ask any and all questions before the end of the auction.

Thank you for your interest~!

Ford F-150 King Ranch celebrates 'history and authenticity' for 2015 [w/video]

Tue, 04 Mar 2014

What's life like on an authentic Texas ranch? We honestly have no idea, having never lived on such a ranch, but we imagine it requires lots of hard work, grit and determination to keep all 825,000 acres - that's larger than the state of Rhode Island - of the King Ranch in Texas under control. Indeed, a total of 350 vehicles, all of which come from Ford, we're told, are currently in use by the ranch. No wonder, then, that the collaboration between Ford and King Ranch has lasted for 15 successful years.
For 2015, in celebration of that 15th anniversary, Ford is debuting three new King Ranch models today at the Houston Livestock Show and Rodeo. The most significant is the 2015 F-150 King Ranch, which, naturally, will add unique interior and exterior bits and pieces to the new aluminum-intensive F-Series pickup. Color choices will consist of Caribou, Bronze Fire, Guard and Ruby Red Metallic Clearcoat, with a range of two-tones to go along with a monochromatic scheme in Caribou. Inside, a bespoke King Ranch interior will be swathed in Premium Mesa Brown leather.
Joining the F-150 King Ranch on dealership floors later this year will be 2015 King Ranch editions of the Super Duty pickup and Expedition fullsize SUV, all of which will offer similar levels of content. Scroll down for more details and two videos from Ford, and be sure to check out the high-res image gallery above, which was shot by the official State Photographer of Texas, Wyman Meinzer.

Ford F-Series Super Duty earns Truck of Texas award

Wed, Oct 12 2016

Texans love their pickup trucks, which you already knew. That means the Texas Auto Writers Association and its "Truck of Texas" award is a big deal. And the latest trophy goes to the 2017 Ford F-Series Super Duty. The pickup truck managed to snag TAWA's award at the 2016 Texas Truck Rodeo. The award marks the 13th time Ford's F-Series has been named the pickup king of the Lone Star State. Roughly 70 journalists converged outside at the Longhorn River Ranch, just outside of Austin, TX, for the 23rd annual Texas Truck Rodeo where a host of Ford's vehicles won awards. In addition to the F-Series Super Duty being named the "Truck of Texas," the 2017 Ford Super Duty won the Heavy Duty Pickup Truck award, while the 2017 Ford F-150 with the 3.5-liter EcoBoost V6 engine won the Best Powertrain award. The journalists also awarded Ford for having the "Truck Line of Texas." Ford wasn't the only winner at the Texas Truck Rodeo, as Nissan brought home five awards, including one for the 2017 Titan in the fullsize pickup category and one for the Armada in the SUV segment. Ram also won a few accolades with its trucks. The 2017 Ram 1500 won for being the most luxurious pickup truck, while the 2017 Ram 2500 Power Wagon won the off-road pickup truck award. Last year, TAWA named the 2016 Nissan Titan XD the Truck of Texas, but Ford's all-new F-Series Super Duty managed to keep the Japanese automaker's full-size offering at bay. For the 2017 model, Ford placed aluminum body panels into the F-Series Super Duty's body, which not only shed weight, but also make the truck stronger. Scroll down to see the entire list of TAWA's winners from the 2016 Texas Truck Rodeo.
