 This is a nice 1963 Ranchero. It is a daily driver and in excellent condition. The bed looks to be rust free and is coated. I will include the toolbox that is in the bed and of course, the spare. The tires are new and on 13" wheels. It was originally a 3 speed on the column and was converted to floor shift. It is a 170 6 cylinder car which is by no means, a hot rod, but gets where it is supposed to go and gets great gas mileage. I don't see any rust areas under the car. The odometer reads 27+K but I have no idea if that is accurate or not. The engine compartment is clean, it was originally an air conditioned car, but the compressor is gone. Many of the other parts are there and could be added, but I can't imagine running air with this motor. Windows are good, and work like they should. Turn signals and lights work properly. Brakes are good. Radio does not work, but is there. Whomever painted the dash, did not get completely under it...it looks great until you lay on the floor and look up, but that's easy to fix. Car starts right up and drives wherever you want it to go. I know that the car was built in San Jose, California and spent most of it's life in California, somehow made it's way to Kansas City where I picked it up. The tailgate works properly and is in excellent condition. There are a few spare parts in the toolbox. Now...for the bad (but it's not that bad). Someone replaced the dome light lens with a funny looking one...I will try to find the proper one. The transmission will not downshift from 3rd to 2nd or 2nd to first for some reason. This just popped up and I have an appointment next Weds. to see what the deal is. I suspect it may be the synchronizer. It does not affect the way the car shifts or drives, just gets annoying when you try to downshift. The red striping is pin striping, not paint, but still looks great. Radio does not work. That's about it. Please email me with questions if you have any. I have to sell this because I have too many cars. 10 cars, 2 drivers...is too many. I have looked this car up on NADA and KBB and Hagerty valuation tools and my reserve is WAY under what they say that the car is worth. In fact, I tried to insure it for 6K with Hagerty and they said they would not insure it for less that 11K because they would be doing me a dis-service. I believe this to be an unusual hard to find car in this condition. It is also fun to drive and has won a trophy in the only car show I put it in.
I will not ship the car. Buyer is responsible for pickup, or when paid in full to have some shipper pick it up for them. There are many shippers out there that will ship for a dollar a mile or less.  I would like to have $500 down payment when the auction closes and the balance paid upon inspection of the car, or before it is picked up. PayPal, or cash is fine.  If you are successful bidder and come to inspect it in person and don't want it, I will refund your down payment, less the eBay fees that I have to pay.

2015 Ford F-Series Super Duty Power Stroke

Tue, 29 Jul 2014

What weighs 30,000 pounds? Big Ben's Westminster bell. A navy ship anchor. Or as we found out during our first drive program for the 2015 Ford F-Series Super Duty, seven pallets of cinder blocks loaded onto a dual-axle gooseneck trailer. The test was part of a raft of towing demonstrations that showcased the new Super Duty's impressive tug capacity, which maxes out at 32,100 pounds. That's 1,200 more than its nearest rival, the Ram 3500, when equipped with its upgraded 6.7-liter Power Stroke diesel V8. Such is the heavy-duty pickup truck business, a diesel-fueled game of one-upmanship with only three players: Ford, Chevrolet/GMC and Ram. And in this game, the one with the most torque wins.
Until 2014, Ford was the one to beat, with its 6.7-liter Power Stroke diesel bringing 400 hp and a massive 800 lb-ft of torque to the table. Then last year, Ram did exactly that, serving Ford with a beefed-up Cummins turbodiesel inline-six in its freshened Ram Heavy Duty truck line with 385 hp and 850 lb-ft of torque, enabling it to tow up to 30,000 pounds. But Ford claims it had designed its engine to be relatively easy to upgrade when the time called for it, so for 2015, Ford bolted a larger turbo to the Power Stroke, bringing output to an insane 440 hp and 860 lb-ft of twist, all without reducing fuel efficiency. Maximum tow capacity rises from 24,700 lbs to an incredible 31,200 lbs for the F-450 dually.
As for GM's HDs? They lag behind the lot with their 6.6-liter Duramax V-8, producing 397 hp and 765 lb-ft of torque. Yeah, you know things are serious when the trucks with 765 lb-ft are the knock-kneed wimps of the lot.

Focus STs for SEMA include Lotus and Gulf liveries, rally-fied police car

Tue, 22 Oct 2013

Ford, as we mentioned on Saturday, is pulling out all the stops for November's SEMA show, bringing 57 vehicles to the Las Vegas event. Ford will be staggering the release of its SEMA flotilla, though, so expect to hear a lot about the new additions to the fleet in the weeks to come. We already showed you the Fiesta, Fiesta ST and Mustang models that made up the first batch of SEMA cars. Next up, we have a quartet of modded Focus STs joining Ford's SEMA roster.
Our first Focus ST (pictured above) sports the legendary livery of Gulf Racing. The orange-on-blue scheme, which Ford helped make famous at the 24 Hours of Le Mans, has been updated for 2013, with a more vibrant blue. This ST was built by Universal Technical Institute, while the exterior was done by Neil Tjin of Tjin Edition. Side exhausts, a Vortech supercharger and a Motiv Concepts high-flow cat allow the ST to breathe a bit easier, while Forgestar wheels contrast well with the iconic paint scheme.
Focus ST number two has been done-up by PM Lifestyle and is inspired by "Southern California car culture." Sporting a sleek, pale blue paint job, there's also no shortage of carbon fiber on the car's exterior. The 2.0-liter, turbocharged, four-cylinder engine has been massaged by the likes of Banks Power, COBB Tuning and Ford Racing, while the suspension is wearing a shiny, new set of coilovers and sway bars. The meaty brakes, tucked behind 19-inch, Rotiform wheels, come from Wilwood, while the cabin has been fitted with a pair of Sparco Chrono seats and five-point, Schroth harnesses.

Entry-level F-150 now offers SuperCrew, Sport Package

Thu, 29 Aug 2013

Ford has made a few notable tweaks to the lower end of its F-150 lineup, giving customers a more affordable version of the four-door SuperCrew body style. The popular SuperCrew could previously only be had on XLT models and above, but Ford has announced that 2014 F-150s with the base STX trim can get the more versatile body.
The STX SuperCrew brings the price of a four-door F-150 down from $34,525 to $33,145. Like the XLT SuperCrew, the STX will be available with the choice of a 5.5- or 6.5-foot bed, while a 5.0-liter V8 can replace the base 3.7-liter V6 for $4,425. Ford has not released pricing on the different bed lengths yet, but opting for the 6.5-foot bed on the XLT raises the price $1,240 and forces buyers into the 5.0-liter V8. We'd expect a similar arrangement on the STX.
The other big news for fans of affordable pickups is the addition of an STX Sport Package on the base-level truck. It adds 20-inch wheels, black exterior accents, black-and-gray cloth seats and decals on the truck's box. The Sport Package is available on all three of the STX's body styles, with Ford listing the price as $980 with current discounts.
