Up for your consideration is a RARE 1963 Ford Falcon Ranchero Deluxe, after doing some research there is thought to be only about 200 of these left! How many with the original running gear is any ones guess!

The Truck is pretty much original, a few changes have been made. It was born Corinthian White (exterior), Red Crush Vinyl and White Crush Vinyl (interior) with a bench seat.***note***the color on the inside of glove box door is original.

The exterior paint was two toned some time in its life, bucket seats were added (should have a bench seat), mirrors, hubcaps, radio/speakers changed. If one wanted it would not take too much to bring back to stock. If you look up the VIN DECODER it will tell you what it was born with. I will list the codes for the running gear.

Engine: C30E-6015B 4.3 L Windsor 260 V8

Transmission: C3AB-7006

Bell Housing: C3AA6394C

Rear End: C70W-A 3:25:1

What I know, the Motor was rebuilt some time in its life, mileage unknown, but runs good. Floor pans have been replaced. There was rust around the rear quarters and I had them professionally repaired with metal, (welded) not bondo. Paint was some what touched up, but needs to be professionally done. There are a few dents, scrapes, dings etc. Fine as a driver, but I think this survivor deserves a full restoration. Grill, bumpers, light housings are not the greatest. Don't get me wrong this Truck is pretty strait!

New parts: Tires, clutch, battery, carb, fuel pump, distributor, wires, export brace, idler arm the truck was aligned and brakes were good. Yes it runs, drives and stops, current CLEAN title, lights and blinkers work.

Known things that it needs: heater hooked, windshield wiper motor hooked up, horn doesn't work! Shifter has worn (original) but operates, speedo is not accurate (jumps around), carpet and seats reupholstered and probably a few other things that I don't know about!

All in all this is a nice driver or an excellent candidate for a full restoration!

The Truck will be available for viewing @ Kool April Nights car show, Redding, Ca. From today till Sunday the 27. It is also for sale locally.

Being sold as is where is if you have any questions you may call me direct, Mark @ (530) 356-0762

If you have any shipping questions you may call: Miller Auto Transport Broker, Bill Miller @ (530) 945-6973 He is here in Redding and I have used him a few times before.

FBI investigating recently fired Ford engineer for espionage

Fri, 25 Jul 2014

Agents of the FBI are investigating a potential case of industrial espionage involving a recently fired Ford employee. The Dearborn, MI-based manufacturer had its world headquarters searched by FBI agents on July 11, and according to The Detroit News, had warrants to seize recording devices handed over to Ford by Sharon Leach, a now-former Ford engineer.
Leach, who had spent 17 years with the Blue Oval, was fired last month, after Ford Security relieved her of eight Sansa listening devices. The FBI got involved shortly after her dismissal, searching her home on June 20 and seizing some two dozen items, including computers, jump drives and financial records, according to warrants obtained by The News.
Ford has remained quiet on the matter, with spokeswoman Susan Krusel confirming that the automaker was working with the FBI as part of a "joint investigation," while declining to provide any additional details.

Ford expands 'Do Not Drive' airbag warning to 33,000 more Ranger trucks

Tue, Feb 13 2018

WASHINGTON — Ford on Monday warned an additional 33,000 owners of older pickup trucks in North America to stop driving them until potentially defective Takata Corp airbag inflators can be repaired. In January, Ford told 2,900 owners of model year 2006 Ford Ranger trucks to stop driving immediately after a second death was linked to inflators built on the same day. The expanded warning was prompted by additional testing, Ford, the second largest U.S. automaker, said in a statement, and now covers a broader time frame of production. Mazda Motor Corp said it was issuing a similar expansion for about 1,800 2006 Mazda B-Series trucks that were built by Ford after it had issued a warning for 160 trucks in January. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) said the vehicles pose "an immediate risk to safety" and urged owners to immediately schedule a free repair. Ford and Mazda have replacement airbag inflators available now and will tow vehicles to a dealership for repairs as well as provide loaner vehicles free of charge, the companies and NHTSA said. About 90 percent of the vehicles subject to the "Do Not Drive" warning are in the United States. Two U.S. senators in January questioned why Ford's warning only applied to a small number of the 391,000 2004-2006 Ranger trucks recalled because of Takata air bags in 2016 in the United States. Ford said last month the death in a July 2017 crash in West Virginia in a 2006 Ford Ranger was caused by a defective Takata inflator after a similar 2015 death in South Carolina. At least 22 deaths worldwide are linked to the Takata inflators that can rupture and send deadly metal fragments into the driver's body. The faulty inflators have led to the largest automotive recall in history. The other 20 deaths have occurred in Honda vehicles, most of which were in the United States. About a quarter of the 2,900 vehicles have been repaired since Ford issued the warning last month, the company said on Monday. Takata said in June it has recalled, or expected to recall, about 125 million vehicles worldwide by 2019, including more than 60 million in the United States. About 19 automakers worldwide are affected. Takata inflators can explode with excessive force, unleashing metal shrapnel inside cars and trucks and have injured more than 200 people. The defect led Takata to file for bankruptcy protection in June.Reporting by David ShepardsonRelated Video:

PickupTrucks.com's latest test results in a familiar winner [w/video]

Wed, 19 Jun 2013

PickupTrucks.com has gone and thrown the latest batch of half-ton pickups into a cage match to see who would come out on top. The site put the 2014 Chevrolet Silverado 1500, GMC Sierra 1500, 2013 Ford F-150, Ram 1500, Toyota Tundra and Nissan Titan through a battery of tests. Those included 0-60 miles per hour acceleration, 60-0 mph deceleration, fuel economy, a hill climb, and payload and towing. They even threw the rigs on an autocross course to evaluate overall handling. Each truck was given points based on how it scored in each evaluation.
Who came out on top? Somewhat surprisingly, the 2013 Ford F-150 walked away with the gold, though fewer than 50 points separated first and fourth place. Head over to PickupTrucks.com to read the full evaluation and the final results. You may be shocked to see exactly where some of the segment's newest additions placed. You can also watch a video on the test below.
