Offering for sale with no reserve is a 1964 Ford falcon ranchero. This car is 50 years old this year! The car needs restoration of all components. We had it running two years ago and drove it a couple miles but the torque converter seal is pouring fluid out of it so just parked it until we could get the time to put it in the shop and restore it or sell it. We are buried in work so it is time to get it to a different home where it will be taken care of. This came from south central Oklahoma just outside of Shawnee and has not been in wintry salt weather. It does have typical mudtrap lower rear quarter rust and floorboards from weatherstripping starting to leak. The inside bed would have been pretty good but they left and old blanket in the left rear corner and it stayed wet and rusted the bed through there before we purchased it.Tailgate has typical dents inside as does some of the rest of the interior of the bed. Rockers and lower front fenders appear to be o.k. Under the hood back by the hinges also appears to be good. The previous owner started to sand it and put red primer on it but that is fading and thinning away. Body actually is pretty straight with just some minor dings here and there. Bumpers and bright work need to be redone of course. Cannot buy much in complete old cars for my low starting price. The smaller cars appear to be having a surge in popularity probably due to gas mileage and so forth. It will be going up in value continuously so they do make good savings accounts. Most mechanical parts are shared with mustang and comets so parts are not a problem. We have approximately 140 old project/parts cars here at any given time.
Selling with intention of needing restoration of rest of minor components.
It has a good title.
The car can be stored here for up to 6 months - after that we will come up with a monthly fee.
Possible delivery if you are within 400 miles of central Kansas south or west for a fee.
If you have questions, please feel free to ask.
If you would like a better look at anything we can send more pictures.
We expect payment within 5 working days of the end of the auction.

2014 Ford F-150 gets CNG option

Wed, 31 Jul 2013

Ford is toiling away, installing heavy-duty engine components into select 3.7-liter V6s to allow them to run on compressed natural gas (CNG) and liquid petroleum gas (LPG) in addition to gasoline. That's nothing new, but now, Ford has announced that it will offer the 2014 F-150 with this engine configuration, bringing the Blue Oval's total number of CNG/LPG-friendly vehicles up to eight. The F-150 will be the only half-ton pickup on the market that can run on these gases.
Ford will charge $315 per vehicle to equip the optional engine, but the trucks won't be ready to run on the alternative fuels straight from the factory and must be upfitted with additional equipment. A Ford Qualified Vehicle Modifier will install a separate fuel system for the compressed gases at a cost of $7,500 to $9,500, depending on fuel tank size. With the right-size tank, the F-150 equipped with the CNG/LPG-prepped engine can go 750 miles on one tank of gas, according to Ford, averaging 23 miles per gallon.
The practice of offering flex-fuel vehicles is gaining momentum as businesses take advantage of cheap gas. CNG can be bought for $2.11/gallon on average (per gasoline equivalent), and sometimes for as little as $1.00 in some parts of the US, Ford states. "With the money saved using CNG, customers could start to see payback on their investment in as little as 24 to 36 months," says Jon Coleman, Ford's fleet sustainability and technology manager. The automaker expects to sell a total of 15,000 CNG/LPG-prepped vehicles in the 2014 model year.

Report: GM struggling to market turbo technology

Tue, 20 Apr 2010

In the automotive realm, marketing can sometimes prove just as important as the actual product. Take, for instance, Ford's well regarded EcoBoost technology, which couples turbocharging with direct injection to produce more horsepower and reduce fuel consumption. Would it surprise you to hear that General Motors has had similar technology on the market for over three years?
It's true. GM's first turbocharged, direct injected powerplants hit the market for the 2007 model. The 2.0-liter Ecotec mills put down an impressive 260 horsepower and a matching 260 pound-feet of torque, and they were lauded by the press in the engine bays of the Pontiac Solstice, Saturn Sky, Chevrolet Cobalt SS and Chevrolet HHR SS. But few people outside a core group of enthusiasts actually remember this fact.
Says Uwe Grebe, executive director of GM's global advanced engineering, "We didn't have a badge and say, 'This is the most important thing we will put on all our brochures.'" Ford, however, did just that, and it's EcoBoost engines are right at the tips of all our tongues when we discuss today's most advanced powerplants. So, how does The General fix its mistake?

Ford recalls Five Hundred, Mercury Montego sedans over fuel tank woes

Mon, 18 Jul 2011

Ford has announced through the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration that it is recalling nearly 3,000 examples of its Five Hundred and Mercury Montego (pictured) sedans from the 2007 model year.
The action, which affects 2,945 vehicles, is due to potentially defective welds between the filler neck and the fuel tank, a condition that could result in a fuel leak or the smell of gasoline reaching the occupants. In the worst-case scenario, a leak could cause a fire. Cars with the affected fuel tank problem could see an illuminated dashboard warning light as a result of the evaporative emissions leak being detected.
Ford will inspect and replace the fuel tank at no cost to owners (those who have already had the procedure done at-cost can apply for reimbursement), and the Dearborn automaker will begin notifying Five Hundred and Montego owners beginning August 15. Check out the official NHTSA press release after the jump for further details.
