1963 Ford Falcon Ranchero on 2040-cars

Mileage:999999

This is a 1963 Ford Falcon Ranchero. I bought it to run around town in and for errands, and now must sell it due to arthritis problems that make driving a stick shift difficult. It runs and drives and has a clear California title and current registration. The good stuff: The body is pretty straight but not perfect. The interior is nice but needs a new headliner and carpet. Has a rechromed rear bumper, newer aluminum radiator, newer battery, newer wheel cylinders & master cylinder and steel brake lines (the hydraulic lines - brake lining is about 50%, u-joints are new, always starts & doesn't overheat. Bed has a little surface rust only - no rot. Tires are good. All glass is intact and in pretty good shape, all stock trim is on it. The not so good stuff: There is rot in floor both sides but has been fiberglassed over so floor is fairly solid - should be replaced; mild rot behind rear wheels at bottom of quarter & above rear wheel on rt. side - no other rot that I could find but has surface rust in other places, dent in tailgate around emblem - not real big, small dent in left door & fronts of both fenders - not bad, needs electrical work - wipers, horn, and heater don't work - all lights do, has alternator in place but should be wired better - charges but wiring should be re-done, engine runs good when warmed up but is tired - smokes some, needs a carburetor overhaul, clutch chatters some- shifts fine, drives o.k. but I only drive it around our smaller town. Overall it's a good start for a restoration project, or you could drive it while giving it the care it needs. It is not a car that you can just drive anywhere without doing some of the work it needs. Buyer is welcome to pick it up or I will work with any shipper. Shipping cost is solely the responsibility of the buyer. I live in Bishop, Ca. - 220 miles south of Reno, Nv. and 290 miles northeast of Los Angeles, Ca. I can store it up to 2 weeks but it must be paid for within 7 days of auction close. There is a $250.00 non-refundable deposit due within 3 days of close of auction - Paypal is o.k. for the deposit - balance due within 7 days of close of auction in cash or cashiers check (must clear bank before car will be released) . Thanks for looking!! |

2015 Galpin Ford GTR1
Mon, 25 Aug 2014Last year in Monterey, we met GTR1 for the first time. Galpin Auto Sports pulled the wraps off its Ford GT-based supercar, powered by a twin-turbocharged 5.4-liter V8 good for a whopping 1,024 horsepower and 739 pound-feet of torque. The thing was totally custom-made and reportedly took some 12,000 man hours to create. And there it sat on the Pebble Beach grass, $1,000,000-plus price tag and all.
This year, the Galpin was back, albeit with one big change. That twin-turbo engine? Gone. In its place, a 5.4-liter V8 with a 4.0-liter Whipple supercharger bolted on, delivering an astonishing 1,058 hp and 992 lb-ft of torque on 110-octane fuel. 0-60? 2.9 seconds. Top speed? Somewhere above 225 miles per hour.
"Some things to keep in mind: no stability control, no traction control," were the only warnings given by Galpin's Brandon Boeckmann before taking me on a quick spin in the supercar. And after having my eyes thrown into the back of my skull a few times, laughing hysterically and trying to regain full use of my hearing after my ear drums being bombarded by the apocalyptic roar behind me, Brandon pulled over and said it was my turn, if I was ready to take the wheel.
Recharge Wrap-up: Ford HQ gets giant solar array, Chevy City Express gets 24 MPG city
Sat, Aug 16 2014Ford will be building Michigan's largest solar array at its Dearborn headquarters. With funding from DTE Energy, the solar carport will provide covered parking, as well 30 charging stations for electric vehicles. The array is expected to generate 1.13 million kWh per year for Ford's operations, and offset 794 metric tons of carbon emissions. Read more in the press release below. Chevrolet announced the fuel economy for the 2015 City Express, at 25 mpg combined. The cargo van is rated at 24 mpg in the city, and 26 mpg on the highway. Chevy credits the van's inline four-cylinder engine and continuously variable transmission for its impressive city mileage. For its customers - which are mainly businesses - "The fuel economy of the City Express will help stretch their dollar at the pump and give them the flexibility to invest the savings back into their business," says Chevrolet's Ed Peper. The City Express starts at $22,950. Read more in the press release below. Engineers at the University of Wisconsin have developed an efficient engine that runs on a diesel-gas blend. The engine, which uses a computer to control the blend proportions, is about 15 percent more efficient than the any diesel engine according to mechanical engineering professor Rolf Reitz. The team has put the experimental reactivity controlled compression ignition (RCCI) engine in a demonstration car - a 2009 Saturn. "This vehicle can do 50 miles per gallon," says Reitz, who believes the system could be improved further. Read more at Wisconsin Public Radio. The Southeast Alternative Fuel Conference and Expo will take place in October in Raleigh, North Carolina. Held at the NC Clean Energy Technology Center from October 22-24, the event will feature a variety of exhibitors, speakers and, most importantly, alternatively powered vehicles. "The three day conference will be a one-stop shop for fleet and transportation related decision makers to learn about return on investment, efficiency and alternative transportation fuels such as biodiesel, electricity, ethanol, propane and natural gas," says Anne Tazewell of the NC Clean Energy Technology Center. If you can't make it to Raleigh for the Expo, you can still enter to win a free two-year lease of a Nissan Leaf at the Center's website. Learn more about the event in the press release, below.
Ford Mustang GT350 drops some camo
Mon, 03 Feb 2014Now that we've poured over the 2015 Ford Mustang in its standard form, it's time to look ahead. We already knew (and heard - literally) that Ford was working on a higher-performance version of its 'Stang to replace the Shelby GT500, and earlier reports have stated that it will simply be called the GT350.
We don't have a ton of detail to go on, but this latest set of spy photos clearly shows a hood-mounted air scoop, which suggests a forced-induction powerplant is under the hood. However, this disagrees with earlier reports that the GT350 will be all motor, using a naturally aspirated engine to send massive horsepower to the rear wheels. Our spies also point out the functional vent aft of the front wheels to allow for better airflow, and the massive quad exhaust pipes can be seen, clear as day.
Expect to see the Mustang GT350 in April, when it debuts at the New York Auto Show in conjunction with the Pony's 50th anniversary. In the meantime, have a look at our gallery above to see the latest shots of the hot Mustang out testing.
