1965 Ford Falcon Ranchero Deluxe

A very nice 65 Ranchero that needs very little to be cherry.   A little over 107K original miles  (average 2,140) miles per year since new.  Starts, idles and runs GREAT!!  An original California car with little to no rust.  Now located in Austin, TX.  Floor boards solid.  It appears to be undercarriage sprayed at the factory when new.  I am the 3rd owner since new, you would be the 4th.

Here is the list of conditions and what has been done to it in the past year:

Engine - Full tune up, plugs, air filter & oil change.  Engine is tight, doesn’t leak or blow smoke, and runs like a scared striped-arsed monkey when floored.  This is a VERY nice stock 289V8 with lots of power.  First year 289V8 from the factory and same as the 65 Ford Mustang.

Transmission (Cruise-o-matic 3 speed on the tree) shifts as it should and drops down nicely into lower gear when floored. 

Has factory AC (just needs to be charged).  Has a small leak somewhere bud runs cold when charged.  Should be an easy fix for an AC guy.

Serviced rear differential

New u-joints

New battery

New engine & transmission mounts

Professionally rebuild stock 2bbr Autolite carb by Gotta Fish Carbs  >> One of the best in the business.

Brakes gone thru and repaired to perfect working condition.

All new interior (seat, carpet, headliner, door seals & wind lace) from only top of the line Falcon internet websites with original type color and material. 

New old stock Sanyo high powered AM/FM cassette stereo installed and the original working AM radio comes with the car.

New radiator with 50-50 Prestone antifreeze

New AC radiator

Heater core rebuilt and blows hot air (when on).  You  want one that has already been rebuilt, trust me on this one!

New fuel pump.

Chrome bumpers front and back are nice as well as the front grill.

Vintage radio shack CB installed with PA speaker in the engine compartment to scare old ladies, dogs, kids, hippies, Irishmen, etc.. 

New whitewall tires

Original spinner hubcaps (worth $100 each by themselves)!

Original door panels still in decent shape

Original dash (cracked) but still nice and useable as is.

Glass is good.

All electrics work fine.  Brake lights, back up lights, headlights, inside door lights, dash lights, horn.  Cigarette lighter doesn’t work but may just need a new filament, I don’t smoke so don’t really care.  Should be a simple fix.

 This ol truck only needs a few things to make it REAL nice.

Needs some minor body work done. There are little dings, dents, holes and scratches around the truck in various places (its 50 years old).

Needs a paint job or drive as is as I have been doing.  Original exterior color was the same as the inside of the cab but was repainted yellow by the 2nd owner back in the day.  Everyone loves the yellow so Id personally keep it that color. Its been touched up in various areas to match the yellow paint and is presentable but certainly not perfect by any means.   Still gets numerous thumbs up every time I drive it. 

Overall, a very nice original condition (as most you can do) 50 year old Falcon Ranchero which are very collectable and gaining collectable status and increased value.  The 1965 is arguably the best year and certainly the best of this model that ran from 1960 to 1965 with 1964 & 1965 being specific body years with the cool body lines running front to rear.   

To find one virtually rust free and major accident free is rare.  My price is very fair and all work was done as quality as I could do it.  A LOT of time and money have been put into this ol gal.  Only reason I'm selling is lack of room and I have other projects to work on now.  The misc. trinkets and personal items shown in the pictures are mine and do not convey with the vehicle.  I do however have another Bobs Big Boy Bobblehead that I can include (if you want Bob that is).  Car cover comes with it as well as Owners Manual and other misc. paperwork Ive collected for it.

Bought from the estate of the 2nd owner out of Arizona.  According to the family, the 2nd owner owned a service station in California and babied the engine and worked on this truck himself.  I'm assuming that's why its mechanically in such good shape.

Buyer is responsible for pick up (at their cost) and can be picked up anytime after July 20th.  Bid with confidence with my 100’s of positive feedbacks.  All information provided is to the best of my knowledge and deemed reliable, but not guaranteed.  Sold in as-is condition (due to age) but I wouldn’t have any concern driving this car/truck anywhere.   Always starts, always reliable (has been for me).  Drive as is or finish it up, all the hard work is done.  Clear Texas Title in my name.

You should be very happy with this one if you win the auction, good luck and happy bidding!

Ford mulling EcoSport for US? [w/poll]

Mon, 03 Jun 2013

"We certainly have that ability. We're studying it very, very closely." Those are the words of Jim Farley, global head of sales, marketing, service at Ford. The investigation Farley is referring to is the possibility of selling the company's new EcoSport crossover in America.
The diminutive Fiesta-based EcoSport was developed for emerging markets like Brazil and, more recently, China, but it apparently may have a future in the States, where it would form a new entry-level rung below the Escape in Ford's already robust crossover stable. Ford has big plans for its tiny CUV - Farley tells Automotive News that the EcoSport is only available in 10 countries right now, but by 2017, its distribution will have mushroomed to 62 countries. At the time the second-generation model launched at the 2012 Beijing Motor Show as a 2013 model, Ford said the EcoSport would eventually be sold in nearly 100 markets worldwide.
The Brazilian- and Indian-assembled EcoSport is available with a variety of gasoline-powered engines, but the 1.0-liter, three-cylinder EcoBoost giving 118 horsepower and 125 pound-feet of torque would seem to be the powertrain of choice for America, as it was recently confirmed for the stateside 2014 Fiesta.

2016 Ford Explorer configurator reveals $30,700* base price, Platinum starts at $52,600*

Wed, Nov 26 2014

The a la carte menu for the 2016 Ford Explorer is ready for your... umm... exploring. The first page of the refreshed model's configurator reveals the lineup, including the new Platinum trim, and price increases for three of the carryover models. The base Explorer doesn't change by one red cent: it can still be had for $30,700. The XLT needs $33,400 (a $400 price bump), the Limited goes for $41,300 (a not insignificant $2,900 price increase), and the Sport requires $43,300 (a $200 increase). That new Platinum model goes where no Explorer MSRP has gone before, beginning at $52,600 (*all prices are subject to an $895 destination charge). However, since Ford has put almost everything in it, you can't jack the price up too much further unless you lose your mind in the accessories catalog. You can quickly head that way lower down the order, though. The Limited's price jump appears to be due to the voice-activated navigation system, which comes standard; it was formerly part of a $2,600 option package. The Limited goes up by just $995 when specced with the new 2.3-liter EcoBoost, which raises the power over the 2.0-liter EcoBoost it replaces to 270 horsepower and 300 pound-feet of torque, but doesn't incur any fuel economy penalty. All-wheel drive tacks on another $2,000, safety features like active park assist and lane departure warning come as part of $3,000 Equipment Group A, and you'll still have another three pages of options to get through. On the other hand, if you just want to get your family bundle into an Explorer without spending a bundle, the base model doesn't offer any packages and only has one option over $200. Let the research begin.

2015 F-150 launch to curb Ford profits?

Thu, 30 Jan 2014

Ford is making a big bet on aluminum with its new 2015 F-150, and it's possible that the decision will hurt the company financially, at least in the short term. After earning a record $8.6 billion in 2013, the Blue Oval does not expect to set another record in 2014. According to Automotive News, that's "largely attributable to F Series," says Bob Shanks, Ford's Chief Financial Officer.
To retool for the new F-150, Ford will idle its Dearborn Truck Plant in Michigan for 11 weeks and the Ford Kansas City Assembly Plant in Missouri for 2 weeks. "3 of the 13 overall weeks occur during what normally is our summer shutdown timeframe," said Mike Levine, Ford Trucks Communication Manager, in an email to Autoblog. The extra 10 weeks will be preparing for the more aluminum-intensive construction for the trucks and will mean over 2 months of no F-150s being made. For comparison's sake, Chrysler boss Sergio Marchionne just confirmed that the 200 plant in Sterling Heights, MI will be down for 30 days to retool for the new model, but obviously there are many more F-150 production variables than for the midsize sedan.
Levine notes that Ford is already running three shifts at both plants, and says the automaker has plans to ensure that there is adequate supply of the full-size pickups during the retooling process. The company does not want to suffer a shortage of the vehicle that accounted for 31-percent of its 2013 US sales and an even bigger percentage of its profits.
