Classy 1960 Ford Ranchero Custom Fresh Build, Everything New. Drive Anywhere! on 2040-cars

Very cute, clean 1960 Ranchero.  This whole car is a fresh build and guaranteed to bring smiles.  Runs great with a 170 cubic inch inline 6 from a 1963 Falcon, acompanied by a 3 speed manual transmission with a Hurst "Indy shifter".  The motor and front suspension have been thoroughly gone through, new Fisk whitewall tires, new clutch, newly upholstered seats, new carpet kit, and much more. This car drives amazing and can be driven comfortably all day. There is absolutely no slop in the steering box or front suspension. The suspension has all been lowered about 3", but it still rides like a stock Ranchero, it doesn't bounce around like many other lowered cars. The body is very straight and rust free, aside from two patch panels, one on each floorboard of the car in the foot-well area on either side.  Both patches are about 1' x 1' in size. The car isn't perfect, but it is very fun and shows very well.  Overall, this car is extremely reliable, and can be driven anywhere. Easy to work on, easy to find parts for, cheap and very cool custom car with tons of new parts, fresh motor, and new paint.


Drivetrain and motor: The previous owner had it rebuilt, and she runs like a top. Starts immediately on cold and hot days. Motor never gets above 180 degrees, and gets very good gas mileage. New fuel pump, Pertronix ignition, blaster coil, remanufactured carburetor, new alternator and a new .aluminum radiator. Motor doesn't tick, leak or smoke.  The motor and transmission are both from a donor 1963 Falcon.  Clutch is new and doesn't chatter or slip. The transmission works perfectly, no grinding, and shifts very well with the new Hurst "Indy Shifter". Tires are "Fisk Classics" with a 1" whitewall. Everything has approximately 500 miles in overall use.

Upholstery: A very classy look, with a new carpet kit, reupholstered bucket seats, detailed dash, chrome Hurst shifter, JVC brand, CD-MP3-AM-FM stereo with two 6" Kicker 2-way speakers in the door panels. The interior shows well, but there is an empty space in the dash where the original AM radio used to be, along with 5 small holes where the factory heater control and vent control knobs used to be, however it is a great spot for new toggle switches to go.  The dash paint looks very nice and is satin black. There has been body work done to the doors to get rid of the door glass and it looks very good, a nice custom touch.  The door panels and bed are decked out with Alder wood, that has been stained and treated with urethane. All lights work.  Doors, hood, and tailgate open and close great.

If you would like to see and test drive the car, call Skyler, weekdays  at 1 (916) 652-6852. I am located about 18 miles east of  Sacramento California just off Hwy 80.

Jay Leno sees how the other half lives with CHP cop cars new and old

Mon, 01 Jul 2013

Comedian Jay Leno is changing gears from driving fast cars to checking out some of the police cruisers that regularly chase down and dish out punishment to those fast cars. In this episode of Jay Leno's Garage, we get the lowdown on the modifications made to the Ford Explorer for the Interceptor package (which looks pretty tough in its California Highway Patrol livery).
The new Ford is cool, but cooler still are the pack of classic CHP cars that Jay has along for the episode. A 1982 Mustang, 1966 Dodge Polara, 1970 Mercury Monterey and 2000 Crown Victoria are all in the shop. Better still, Jay lays out an argument for ones of the classic cruisers as the best cop car of all time. Get your guesses in now, and then scroll down to watch and learn.

Ford to build Explorer in Russia to meet demand [w/video]

Fri, 12 Apr 2013

The current Ford Explorer is sold in more than 64 countries, and this three-row vehicle continues to grow in popularity worldwide. To keep up with demand, Ford began producing the Explorer at Ford Sollers Elabuga Assembly Plant in Tatarstan, Russia, a joint venture facility. This partnership will build Russian-market Explorers only, and production of export vehicles not destined for Russian buyers will continue to be built at Ford's assembly plant in Chicago.
Before this plant went online, Ford would ship Explorers to Russia (and other regions around the world) as partially assembled knock-down units where final assembly would eventually take place. While there is no indication as to how many Explorers Ford Sollers will build for Russia, Ford did add that exports of the SUV were up 65 percent last year (from 2011) accounting for more than 24,000 units.
Scroll down for a press release about the Russian Explorer as well as a video (bad music and all) showing the SUV being produced in Tatarstan.
