1968 Ford Ranchero 500 If you have any questions please feel free to call me Mike at 623-465-0636 Current NADA low retail is $12,700 ; high retail is $19,300. Reserve is set FAR BELOW low retail. Please remember, this is a fully restored car. Original VIN & DATA PLATE decodes as: Trim -(5A)-500xl, Engine -K-(302 2v), Axle -5-(3.00 conventional), Trans -W-(C-4 automatic), DSO -72-(San Jose plant), Body -66B-(2-dr Ranchero), Color -B-(Royal Maroon), Build Date -Feb. 8, 1968 Here's the quick story on this car. I purchased this low mileage Ranchero from a college auto shop teacher (here in AZ) and this was their school project car. Car is an original rust free and all original sheet metal 500XL Ranchero that was originally purchased in central CA and had always lived there. Car had only 48K miles on it when it's original engine and trans were removed for a transplant into a '68 Mustang, sometime around 30 years ago. This Ranchero was destined for a future 428SCJ w/4-speed project, but that never happened. It SAT for all those years inside a barn in central CA, so shop teacher found it with weathered paint & interior and was purchased from original owner as is. A 1990 5.0 HO Mustang motor, and a freshly rebuilt (and date correct) '68 C-4 trans were installed. I do not know how many miles were on this current motor when procured and installed (it ran great so no one cared). A correct 2v carb & intake were installed in place of the 302HO's factory fuel injection. Surprisingly this set up works great and car runs excellent. As a long term school project, and in an effort to keep the car as close to factory correct as possible, this car was treated to all new correct Royal Maroon paint, all new reproduction interior (seats, carpet, headliner, GT door panels), new tires (Cooper radial GT 14"), and a beautiful set of REAL Shelby 14" dished aluminum wheels with center caps. Real Ford GT Hood scoop & GT front grill (not aftermarket) were installed, along with vintage fiberglass rear bed tonneau cover and all painted body colors as well. ALL stainless trim and chrome are original and very nice. Tasteful custom hand pin striping was layed down under the clear coating which also looks really nice. All new suspension-shocks-bushings-brakes were installed. All new hoses-belts-etc. in engine. Original steering box has NO play and is very tight. Power steering and power front disc brakes all rebuilt and replaced with new as necessary. Has a all new set of Hooker Headers along with all new 2" dual exhaust w/Dynaflow mufflers. Original dash is excellent and uncut including original AM radio. A custom console installed on floor under dash holds drink cups, and Amp-Oil-Water temp guages. Also holds a CD disc stereo with new speakers installed, but the faceplate got lost so stereo is now worthless and will need to be replaced. All original rust free sheetmetal and low mileage chassis Rancheros are extremely hard to find. Because of the extremely low mileage of this chassis, there were almost no dents in the OEM sheet metal so VERY LITTLE body filler was needed anywhere. Paint job is a solid 8 out of 10 which looks great from 5 feet away, but when you get really close you can see some hazing in the clear coat. Blocking was decent, but in all honesty this car is solid DRIVER quality, and NOT a concourse show car. Drive this car every day and have a ball with it. Nice enough to take to any car show and get a trophy. I have way too many cars & bikes otherwise I'd just keep it and enjoy it, and if it doesn't sell here than that's exactly what I'll do. It would be very hard to duplicate this car for anywhere near my buy it now price. ONLY ISSUES I CAN SEE: Starter motor is tired, but still works just fine and car starts easily. A NEW REBUILT starter motor INCLUDED (boxed) for you to install if ever needed. HEATER disconnected due to slight leakage detected. I can't see water yet but I could faintly smell coolant when heater was turned on, so I'm assuming it will need a new heater core eventually. Original Shelby American center caps included in bag (see photo). American Racing center caps installed on to Shelby wheels now because their chrome is better, but these are REAL VINTAGE 14" SHELBY deep dish polished aluminum wheels and they are beautiful. Also including lots of various bits, and a quart of the maroon paint used for future touch ups if ever needed. Please call me or email me for any additional questions. INTERNATIONAL BUYERS: I can ship out of country for you. Please inquire for prices. I also have a very nice '73 F-100 4x4 for sale at another auction. DOMESTIC BUYERS: I can arrange shipping to anywhere in the lower 48 states USA for $400-$1000. Free local pick up or arrange your own shipping IF YOU PREFER (please). Or, fly in to Phoenix Intl. airport and I'll meet you there when your flight arrives. Drive it home. Payment accepted via cash in person, personal check, cashiers check, bank wire transfer. PAYPAL ACCEPTED FOR DEPOSIT OF $250 ONLY. PAYPAL NOT ACCEPTED for balance of purchase price. Car does not leave my possession until all funds have cleared my bank. THANKS FOR LOOKING.

Ford hiring 800 more salaried workers than originally expected
Wed, 24 Jul 2013Ford is on a roll this year, with excellent quarterly earnings and better-than-expected vehicle sales leading to 800 more job opportunities with the Blue Oval. In January, Ford announced that it wanted to hire 2,200 salaried employees, but, since then, that figure has been revised to 3,000, representing a 36-percent increase over original projections. About 1,500 of those jobs remain, 80 percent of which are technical professional positions.
"Engineers and technical professionals are in as much demand as our cars, trucks and SUVs," says Felicia Fields, Ford Group Vice President for Human Resources. Helping to spur this job growth are increasing market share on both the West and East Coast and robust demand for the Ford Escape and F-150.
To find job candidates, Ford is reaching out to them via Facebook, Twitter and LinkedIn, in addition to the company's corporate career site. The Blue Oval is also ramping up its presence on college campuses.
Ford recalls 1.48 million F-150s for transmission, plus other models
Wed, Feb 13 2019Weeks after recalling more than 800,000 F-Series pickup trucks for a fire risk, Ford has issued another separate recall for approximately 1.48 million 2011-2013 F-150s for a transmission fault. The six-speed automatics could unexpectedly downshift into first gear without warning. Ford and Lincoln tangentially issued much smaller recalls for the Mustang, Continental, Nautilus, and Navigator. According to Ford, some 2011-2013 model year F-150 pickups with six-speed automatic transmissions could "experience an intermittent loss of the transmission output speed sensor signal to the powertrain control module." This could potentially cause the trucks to temporarily downshift, which could be dangerous if it occurs while driving. Of the 1.48 million affected trucks, 1.26 million are in the U.S. while 221,000 are in Canada. Thus far, Ford knows of five reported accidents involving the issue. To remedy the problem, owners can take their trucks to dealers to update the power control module software. Ford also issued recalls for about 4,350 2019 Mustangs, Lincoln Nautiluses, and Lincoln Navigators in the U.S. and Canada due to a possible fault with the instrument clusters. Although there have been no reports of accidents, Ford says the instrument panel clusters assemblies might be blank or not turn out when the vehicle is started. Additionally, Ford issued a third recall for 28,200 2017-2019 Lincoln Continentals in the U.S. and Canada. Ford says silicon contamination might build up inside the door latch motor, causing it to malfunction. As a result, the door latch might not always fully engage, and the doors could possibly open unexpectedly. Despite no reports of accidents, Ford will remove and replace door latch assemblies on all doors for those affected by the defect. If any of these apply to a vehicle you own, contact Ford to discuss whether it is included in any of these recalls and have the vehicle checked out at a Ford dealership.
Ford workers vote to ratify new four-year UAW contract
Sat, Nov 16 2019DETROIT — The United Auto Workers union said on Friday that rank-and-file members at Ford have voted in favor of a new four-year labor contract with the No. 2 U.S. automaker. The UAW will now focus on Fiat Chrysler Automobiles (FCA), the sole remaining Detroit automaker without a new labor contract. Talks with FCA are expected to begin on Monday, a UAW spokesman said. The union said 56.3% of Ford's hourly workers voted to approve the deal, which allowed the company to avoid a strike like the one that cost its larger rival General Motors about $3 billion (GBP2.3 billion). UAW leaders said earlier this month that Ford under the deal agreed to invest more than $6 billion in its U.S. plants, and to create or retain more than 8,500 UAW jobs. The deal also includes pay raises and lump-sum payments over the life of the contract, a pathway to full-time employment for temporary employees and unchanged healthcare coverage. Workers at GM approved a deal in late October that ended a contentious 40-day U.S. strike, the longest automotive labor stoppage since 1970. Detailed terms of the Ford deal — released just a week after GM workers approved their new contract — echoed those agreed to with GM, as the union typically uses the first deal as a template for those that follow. UAW leaders managed contract negotiations with Ford and GM, including the lengthy strike, while struggling with an ongoing federal corruption probe. To date, 10 people have pleaded guilty in connection with the criminal investigation into illegal payoffs. Just last week former UAW vice president and former GM board member Joseph Ashton was charged with conspiracy to commit money laundering and wire fraud. Earlier this month the UAW said that its president, Gary Jones, who had been linked to the ongoing corruption probe, was taking a leave of absence. Rory Gamble, the union's acting head, said last week he will examine every department of the union in response to the spreading federal corruption probe to prevent future misuse of members' dues.
