Up for sale my awesome looking Resto-Mod 1964 Ford Ranchero.
This classic has had extensive work to make it a fun dependable street cruiser. I'm 60 years old and don't beat the crap out of my cars. I have a clear Florida title in my name. The professional restoration was completed couple of years back (about 3500 miles) with much attention paid to the details. Everything is either two years old or newer. The engine alone has had over 10k worth of upgrades done to it. The red seats are customized and from a Saturn. The gauges are So-Cal and has a 200mph speedo. The I-Pod stereo has multiple custom mounted speakers including 12'' subwoofer and two amps custom mounted behind the seats. It has a custom built console that mounts the buttons for the power windows along with two Ford Racing (non working) gauges. The steering wheel has a (nose) pad from Rusty Wallace racing's son's bush team. The shifter is made from titanium. The gas, brake and clutch pedals are Eleanor Mustang. The car has A/C added to keep you cool in the hot summers. I can run this car all day in the Florida sun and it stays at 190 degrees.
It has a 1993 5.0 mustang Cobra engine & trans. with 75,000 miles. It has a Vortech Supercharger, Edelbrock aluminium heads, a Steeda camshaft, GT40 intake and finished out with polished Cobra valve covers . This car was dynoed at 440 rear wheel horsepower! Dyno sheet is in the glove box. The transmission is a T5 out of the mustang with a King Cobra clutch.
The cooling system has been upgraded with a aluminium 4 core radiator and two electric fans. The exhaust consists stock exhaust manifolds and one magnatone muffler that make it sound awesome. The rear has 355 gears. The suspension has Shelby control arms, eibach sway bars, tie rods and is adjustable for racing. Front disc brakes as well.
The California body is amazing with original rust free floors and straight body panels. The only patch is under the bed floor where that panel comes off. That's where I have the two batteries mounted. The paint is 2001 Lexus grey metallic that really pops in the sunlight. The paint and body where done a couple years back when the full resto was performed and has a few chips and minor scratches (I pointed them out in the pictures, the one on the hood is the worst chip) that are expected from a true driver car but very hard to see unless you get right up on the truck. The Ranchero is sitting under some trees, That's what you see refelected in the hood. The Chevrons and chrome down the sides are painted on. The Lunchtimers on the doors are stickers and can be removed if you want to.
I own some rental apartments and have been using the Ranchero lately to haul stuff, That's why I need to sell it to get a bigger truck that I don't have to worry about scratching it.
The bed has been coated with bed liner. It has an aluminium framed soft vinyl tonneau cover. The wheels are American Salt Flats 15'' front and 17" rears with low profile tires. All the rubber seals, weather stripping and glass have been replaced throughout the truck and the chrome has been removed or powder coated. The taillights are LED and flash sequentially in a star pattern when you hit the brakes, Like the old Thunderbirds.
All in All this a great looking cruiser with creature comforts and dependability of newer cars that sounds like an true old school muscle car - a true Resto-Moded ride! please feel free to email me for more info, Pictures or to setup a time to check it out.
The horn doesn't work. I have it disconnected to run the steering wheel pad.
The speedometer is not hooked up it needs the T5 to older speedo cable adapter.
The turn signals don't work. I have the flasher hooked up to the brake lights so the brake lights flash instead.
As with any old car, its not a new car there might be some things you don't like or you would do different but I'm describing it as accurately and honestly as I can. So look at the pictures and ask questions if you aren't sure about something. Sold as-is. The car will not leave until all funds have cleared my bank. Will make it available for pick up or for your shipper. I can store it in my garage for 30 days after it's paid for.
Bid and bid often. It would hard to find another Ranchero like this

Bring back the Bronco! Trademarks we hope are actually (someday) future car names
Tue, Mar 17 2015Trademark filings are the tea leaves of the auto industry. Read them carefully – and interpret them correctly – and you might be previewing an automaker's future product plans. Yes, they're routinely filed to maintain the rights to an iconic name. And sometimes they're only for toys and clothing. But not always. Sometimes, the truth is right in front of us. The trademark is required because a company actually wants to use the name on a new car. With that in mind, here's a list of intriguing trademark filings we want to see go from paperwork to production reality. Trademark: Bronco Company: Ford Previous Use: The Bronco was a long-running SUV that lived from 1966-1996. It's one of America's original SUVs and was responsible for the increased popularity of the segment. Still, it's best known as O.J. Simpson's would-be getaway car. We think: The Bronco was an icon. Everyone seems to want a Wrangler-fighter – Ford used to have a good one. Enough time has passed that the O.J. police chase isn't the immediate image conjured by the Bronco anymore. Even if we're doing a wish list in no particular order, the Bronco still finds its way to the top. For now (unfortunately), it's just federal paperwork. Rumors on this one can get especially heated. The official word from a Ford spokesman is: "Companies renew trademark filings to maintain ownership and control of the mark, even if it is not currently used. Ford values the iconic Bronco name and history." Trademarks: Aviator, AV8R Company: Ford Previous Use: The Aviator was one of the shortest-run Lincolns ever, lasting for the 2003-2005 model years. It never found the sales success of the Ford Explorer, with which it shared a platform. We Think: The Aviator name no longer fits with Lincoln's naming nomenclature. Too bad, it's better than any other name Lincoln currently uses, save for its former big brother, the Navigator. Perhaps we're barking up the wrong tree, though. Ford has made several customized, aviation themed-Mustangs in the past, including one called the Mustang AV8R in 2008, which had cues from the US Air Force's F-22 Raptor fighter jet. It sold for $500,000 at auction, and the glass roof – which is reminiscent of a fighter jet cockpit – helped Ford popularize the feature. Trademark: EcoBeast Company: Ford Previous Use: None by major carmakers.
GM readying aluminum-body fullsize pickups
Wed, 19 Feb 2014Ford's extensive use of aluminum in its 2015 F-150 is a big deal. A really big deal. Big enough, in fact, that General Motors is reportedly changing its fullsize pickup strategy. According to The Wall Street Journal, The General has locked in partnerships with Alcoa Inc. and Novelis Inc. - companies that will supply aluminum for the next-generation Chevrolet Silverado and GMC Sierra trucks.
"Ford's introduction of the 2015 F-150 pickup truck was a game changer, and it's the first, not the last, conversion of this type," Novelis spokesperson Charles Belbin told the Journal. The switch to aluminum has allowed Ford to shave roughly 700 pounds off its fullsize truck's curb weight. And while official mileage ratings have not been announced, the weight loss should go a long way for improving efficiency, especially when combined other efficiency-minded improvements including better aerodynamics and new, turbocharged V6 engines.
Of course, aluminum-bodied cars are nothing new. But extensive use of aluminum in a major, best-selling product like the Ford F-150 is expected to kick off widespread use of this weight-saving material as availability rises and cost decreases. The WSJ reports that GM had originally explored the idea of moving to aluminum pickups back in 2008, but abandoned the idea due to cost concerns amid economic woes.
