1961 Ford Ranchero - Daily Driver on 2040-cars
Garden Grove, California, United States
|
For Sale, a very nice 1961 Ford Ranchero with 200 straight 6 engine.
This little truck is ready for the road. The engine was rebuilt when we
got this truck for our son in 1999. Has low mileage on the engine. When
the engine was rebuilt the odometer was at approx. 41,000 miles and it
is now at 50,978. A little less than 10,000 miles on the engine. I have
the Pink in hand.
Our son drove it for a year and a half, then got a 1966 Mustang Fastback, so the truck went into storage in 2003. May 2013 we brought it out of storage and had it completely checked out. The miles on the rebuild consisted of him driving back and forth to high school for about a year and a half and me driving around town for the last year. The body is straight and the floors sound. When we brought it back the engine was complete checked and seals replaced, brakes completely replaced, radiator pressure tested, gas tank cleaned and re-coated, new carpet and seat reupholstered, new starter and electric ignition put in. Carburetor was replaced and much more. The paint is in pretty good shape and would not need immediate painting. I have all the receipts for work done on this truck. We have receipts for all the work we have had done on this truck. Floor is sound, floor has not been cut and replaced. It has a new radio (retro shaped) that fit right into the space. The radio has a auxiliary jack so you can connect your MP3 player or phone. Oh yeah, it has 3 on the tree. We have receipts for all work done on this truck since we purchased it in 1999. If you live in the Orange County/Los Angeles County area and would like a closer look, please contact me and we can make arrangements for that. Thank you for your interest. List of items replaced when brought out of storage. Starter and Starter Solenoid Radio Newly upholstered Seat New Carpet Strut bushings Carburetor Gas Tank cleaned and resealed Replaced seals and gaskets Water Pump Thermostat Transmount Motor Mount. Gas Tank sending unit Clutch fork Turned Fly Wheel This work was done when we brought the truck out of storage, where it had been in a garage and covered for 10 years. It is a sweet ride. If you have any questions or concerns please contact me before bidding. If you want additional pictures please ask. The vehicle is 99% rust free. There are a couple of small areas where the cab meets the bed and along the lower edge of the tailgate, where all these vehicles tend to get rust. If I was going to keep this vehicle I would have the bed and tail gate sprayed with rhino skin. I am selling it because my knees don't like the shifting anymore and in Southern California, there is a lot of shifting to drive the streets here. If you live in the Orange County/Los Angeles area and would like to look it over please contact me and we will make arrangements for that. Thank you for your interest. |

TX officer allegedly lets 140-mph street racer go with a warning [w/poll]
Tue, 26 Aug 2014Being pulled over by the police is one of the most nerve-racking situations that a driver can go through, and it's even worse when you know that the officer has you dead to rights for speeding well over the posted limit. In this video, the driver of a heavily modified Ford Mustang with a claimed 966 horsepower at the rear wheels could have easily lost his ride for doing triple-digit speeds and street racing, but a friendly Texas police officer appears to send him on his way with a simple warning.
What's more, the driver in question wasn't just speeding - his Mustang was the camera car for a bunch of rolling street races in the wee hours of the morning on a Texas highway. The driver was more than willing to mix it up in the action, too. Eventually the cops catch on and pick the 'Stang to pull over, but not before the Ford owner runs a claimed 140 mph. With only audio to go on after the car is pulled over, the police officer seems incredibly nonchalant about catching someone who was so brazenly breaking the law. Incredibly, the patrolman actually tells the driver that he's seen everyone racing tonight but ignored them. With traffic picking up, the cop says that it's time to "cut it out" and go home for the night. As far as this video shows, that was the end of it.
Warning: There is explicit, not-safe-for-work language in the video below.
Ford adds 850 jobs to build 2015 F-150
Tue, 14 Oct 2014Pickup trucks tend not to advance at quite the same pace as the rest of the industry. That's what makes the new Ford F-150 so remarkable, jettisoning its old steel construction in favor of aluminum. It's a game changer that Ford is betting big on, and in anticipation of surging demand, the Blue Oval automaker is adding 850 new jobs to put the thing together.
Those 850 new employees will be centered at Ford's Rouge complex in Michigan - with 300 at Dearborn Stamping, 50 more at Dearborn Diversified and 500 at the Dearborn Truck facility, the latter of which has already kicked off what Ford describes as "the largest manufacturing transformation in decades." Old manufacturing equipment is being replaced with the latest technologies, and even the Ford Rouge Factory Tour is undergoing a complete overhaul.
The new jobs come as part of the commitments Ford made to the UAW in 2011 to create 12,000 hourly jobs in the United States by 2015 - a number which Ford has already exceeded at 14,000. Over 4,000 of those are centered in southeastern Michigan.
Ford unveils its facelifted Falcon finale with new XR8
Thu, 24 Jul 2014While its days may be numbered, Ford isn't just going to let its Falcon sedan limp out for the Australian market. No, the Blue Oval is releasing a refreshed Falcon for its final years, and it's lead by this, the new XR8. That's right, this dead-car-driving is going to go out on a high note.
Ford's global design DNA dominates the looks of the new Falcon, with a grille reminiscent of the US market Fusion and the European-market Mondeo. The headlights aren't a straight port, and boast their own unique LED running light pattern (at least on the XR8), but the overall look is strikingly similar. Out back, LED taillights highlight the rear of the Faclon. Despite the substantial new fascia, this is still a mid-cycle refresh. That means most of the rest of the Falcon's body panels are carryovers from the current model.
The XR8 model, shown above, arrives with a supercharged V8, allegedly displacing 5.0 liters. Unfortunately, details on the Falcon's mechanicals are in remarkably short supply. Ford has committed to a range of turbocharged four, as well as turbocharged and naturally aspirated six-cylinders, in addition to the V8, although specifics on those mills aren't available.
