1965 Ford Falcon Rancharo Deluxe. Milage 4708. I purchased this car in Feb. 2013 and this is the story that was told to me. This car was purchased new at Thompson Ford in Stillwater Okla. in Sept. 1965 by a lady named Barbara Hicks for her fiance  ( name unknown) , and co-signed by her father. It seems after a couple weeks the said fiance showed less and less interest in the impending nuptials, and after running up a gas bill of over $200.00 dollars at a local gas station , also in Barbara's name( gas being about $.30 a gallon in 1965). The father decided to locate the gentleman and retrieve the vehicle , ( which in Okla. in 1965 might have included a good old country ass whup'n). Anyway, he located him in Guthrie Okla. and brought the car back to Stillwater.      This is a factory C code car which means that it came with a 289 cu inch. engine (2V) with a 2 barrel carburetor, but it had a duel line Holly with a factory Ford aluminum 4 barrel intake which means that the dealership must have upgraded this engine. Needless to say this car is not going to get any milage over 10, and so Barbara must have realized this and parked the car behind her house under a pecan tree where it stayed for the next 40 years.  This story was told to me my the next owner, Ed Whitehead, a very interesting character in in his own right with a lifetime of great stories to tell. Ed owns and runs "Ed Muffler and Tire Center" at 2929 Perkins Rd. Stillwater Ok. and gave me permission to pass along this story.  Ed, to me seems to be in his 80's and an all around do anything kinda guy still very active in his businesses. He tells that sometime in 1999 he was doing some work for Barbara's neighbor and spotted the Rancharo in her backyard and inquired to her if the Ford was for sale. She said that he could have the car if he would build her a carport, so the deal was struck. Ed completed the job, but it seemed Barbara had second thoughts for some reason and reneged on the deal but paid him for his services.  Time passed and sometime in 2006 Ed received a call from Barbara and ask if he was still interested in the little Ford. It seemed that Barbara was a heavy smoker and was suffering from lung cancer and had accumulated considerable medical bills. He was, and purchased the the car. Now I can tell you that I saw photos of Ed dragging the car out from under the pecan tree. Ed rebuilt the brakes and muffler system and replaced parts and drove the car a short while and also didn't like the gas milage and parked it at his business soon after. The milage reads, 4709 as of today and Ed swears that the milage is accurate.  I hope that only truly interested buyers look up Ed's phone number and inquires about this story.  This car still has a few dings and wrinkles and I'm not advertising it as a perfect show car, but it still get a lot of attention when it goes by.The Buy-it now price will include the Holly carburetor and manifold that I replaced with correct equipment.

Ford Mustang outsold Audi TT and Porsche 911 in Germany

Fri, Apr 8 2016

Despite being the antithesis of the cars Germany is known for, the new Ford Mustang was the best selling sports car in the land of schnitzel and beer last month by a whisker. The Mustang beat out the Audi TT by 780 units to 708, and it beat Germany's best known performance car, the Porsche 911, 780 to 752. That makes some sense, right? The Mustang has to be cheaper than those competitors, right? Not really. Both the EcoBoost and V8-powered Mustang have higher starting prices than the equivalent TT. The 2.3-liter, EcoBoost-powered Mustang starts at 38,000 euros (around $43,300 at today's rates), while the front-drive Audi TT starts at 35,950 euros (about $41,000). The V8-powered Mustang GT, meanwhile, starts at 43,000 euros (about $49,000), which is just 2,550 euros more than the Quattro-equipped TT. When 310 horsepower or 435 hp can be had for just a couple thousand more than 220 hp, it's easy to understand the Mustang's success. The 911, of course, is a lot more expensive than the Mustang. You can buy two Mustang GTs for the price of a single Carrera. But Ford also managed to beat out the Porsche's smaller siblings, the Boxster and Cayman twins, which sold a combined 642 vehicles. Again, the pony car is significantly cheaper, but that doesn't do much to lessen the impact of the Mustang's victory. If you're in Germany and are concerned about this American invasion, you shouldn't be (yet). The TT is Germany's best-selling sports car from January through March, with 2,299 to the Ford's 1,823. Porsche is breathing down the pony car's neck, too, with 1,811 units in 2016. It'll be interesting to see if Ford's successful March carries on into the rest of 2016. Related Video:

Chris Harris checks out Ken Block's Hoonicorn '65 Mustang

Thu, Dec 4 2014

Ken Block's Hoonicorn, which stars in Gymkhana Seven, might still bear a passing resemblance to a vintage 1965 Ford Mustang, but underneath the skin, the car is one of the baddest custom machines to ever do a smoky burnout on the road. The ever enthusiastic British auto journalist Chris Harris is now showing what really makes Block's new ride tick on video, and Harris even gets to go for quite a ride. The only Mustang components really left on the Hoonicorn are the A-pillar, B-pillar and roof, according to Harris. Everything else is ditched to create Block's ultimate Gymkhana tool. The 845-horsepower, 6.7-liter Rousch Yates V8 sits behind the front axle, and the grunt is routed to all four wheels through a Sadev gearbox usually found on Dakar Rally vehicles. The whole drivetrain is packed with cool little touches; like that giant handbrake that also disconnects power from the front wheels when in use. The superlatives about the Hoonicorn could go on forever, but settle in and let a very excited Harris tell you about just some of them. He's like a kid in a candy store here, and the look that combines surprise, fear and joy during his ride with Block is the kind that lacks a suitable word in the English language.

Truckmakers squabbling over who can sell Jimmy Fallon a pickup

Sat, 08 Mar 2014

Snagging a celebrity endorsement is a big deal for automakers, as evidenced by the recent efforts of the Detroit Three to try and woo The Tonight Show's newest host, Jimmy Fallon, into one of their trucks.
After announcing during Wednesday night's show that he was in the market for a pickup truck, Fallon set off a firestorm of efforts on Twitter, with both Ford and Chevrolet petitioning the funnyman to test out a truck. According to Ad Age, Ford recommended the King Ranch edition of its next-generation F-150 while the show was still airing. Chevy, meanwhile, waited until the next morning to pitch a Silverado to Fallon.
The winner of this social media feeding frenzy, though, was Ram. Promoting a variation of its "Guts, Glory, Ram" tagline, the Auburn Hills-based manufacturer created the hashtag #GUTSGLORYFallon. It even went so far as to park a Ram 1500 outside 30 Rockefeller Center in New York, where The Tonight Show is filmed. On the back of the Ram sat a sign, reading "Big enough, Jimmy? Test it out," referencing a joke from the Wednesday show.
