1963 Ford Ranchero, Classic, Collectable, Investment, Dependable, Hot Rod, Red on 2040-cars
Atascadero, California, United States
|
1963 Ford Falcon Ranchero. 302 V-8 and stick shift "on the tree". Motor runs very smooth, has good oil pressure, doesn't smoke or drip, and runs cool. The transmission shifts easily and is quiet, as is the rear end. Overall very nice little truck, it is very dependable and quite presentable. It is an older restore, but has been well maintained. The interior is very nice and the paint only has a few little flaws. The truck is driven daily as needed and never lets me down. It is an original 5 lug, 260 v-8 vehicle. Parts are readily available for these trucks through several sources. Can be driven while you restore or just drive like it is. There is minor surface rust on the bumpers, might even polish out. It did have a professional repair of the common problem with the well under the front of the bed. Looks good now and is sealed well. I do have it for sale locally too, so reserve the right to end early, but vow to leave it on E-Bay once the very reasonable reserve is met. I think that is only fair. So bid early and fairly and I'll hold it for you. I have the title in hand and the vehicle is licensed and insured in my name. It is being sold as-is where is. But I can help find a shipper and will assist getting it on a transport. Or drive it home. I bought this truck from an elderly guy that used it on his small ranch for hauling dog food, chicken food etc. He had most of the work done about 10 years ago but drove it minimally and always kept it up. Please let me know if you want more pictures or have further questions. My number is (805) 462-9515 I am only selling because I've started on a Studebaker pickup project and could use the bucks! I don't have a real professional camera so hope that I am able to convey how nice it is. I didn't detail under the hood as I think the buyer should see it as it is as a driver. The previous owner did give me a complete, ($300.), wiring loom, as the original is getting old. But since everything is working I just never installed it. The loom will come with the truck. It has a spare and jack mounted behind the driver's seat.
On Jun-25-14 at 14:37:38 PDT, seller added the following information: One of the people watching this truck e mailed me and said the motor is not a 302!! It runs so strong and the previous owner told me that it was, so not being a mechanic I thought it was a 302. Today I took it to a local shop and their concensus was that it is a 289 or possibly a 260, but not a 302. I personally don't feel that it takes away from the value. But if I'm wrong, let me know. I can cancel and start over, as an option, but rather not pay the extra fee! I don't want anyone to be disappointed after purchase. |

Consumer Reports declares most and least loved cars [w/video]
Wed, Dec 3 2014Consumer Reports is crunching the numbers from its annual owner-satisfaction survey, and part of that process is finding out how attached drivers are to their cars. CR simply asks readers of models up to three years old if they would buy the same vehicle again in light of their entire ownership experience, and tallies the results. After looking at the responses for about 350,000 vehicles, it turns out that people really love a certain California-built, electrically powered luxury sedan. That's right, this year's the overall winner was the Tesla Model S with a whopping 98 percent of owners saying they would purchase another one (the Model S also won this award last year, with 99 percent satisfaction). The Chevrolet Corvette Stingray came in a close second with 95 percent of drivers hoping to park another one in their garage. A few models weren't quite so favored, though. The Nissan Versa Sedan was the least loved model among its owners; a mere 42 percent said that they would purchase another. The aging Jeep Compass didn't do much better, with just 43 percent of drivers willing to buy the softroader again. On average, about 70 percent of owners say they would buy their car again, and only four cars ranked below 50 percent in CR's findings. Check out the video above to see some of the winners and losers in a few of CR's categories. If you're a subscriber, you can check out the full list on its website.

2015 Ford F-150 configurator is ready to go to work
Thu, 25 Sep 2014Ford is inching towards the on-sale date for the eagerly anticipated, aluminum F-150 pickup. While we're preparing to drive the new truck (expect our take on it sooner rather than later), the best-seller has reached another, albeit more minor, milestone as its online configurator has officially been switched on.
We took to Ford's consumer website to mess about with it and see just how ridiculous of a truck we can build. Among the fun things we discovered were these two nuggets - the most expensive truck we could configure was not the top-end Platinum model, but instead the King Ranch, which rang up at $65,955. The other exciting discovery? The new truck would be available in a questionable shade called Blue Jeans (shown above with the optional contrasting Caribou paint). Yep, Blue Jeans.
You can head over to Ford's consumer page and build your very own aluminum F-150 now. Take a look.
