"1963 Ford Ranchero"

This is a VERY nice driver quality Ranchero!! The odometer reads 70686 and is believed to be the actual mileage from what I was told when I bought it. But, I can not verify this because the title shows the mileage as exempt.

The actual VIN number for this Ranchero is 3R27U145879. The title is a clear Indiana title in my name.

This Ranchero has the 170 cu. in. 6 cylinder engine, 3-speed (on-the-tree) manual transmission and manual steering and brakes.

***EXTERIOR COLOR--Pearl White ***INTERIOR COLOR--Red and White (Nice bench seat has small tears in seam.) ***NEW INTERIOR PARTS--Carpet, door panels, arm rests, door felts and seals. Headliner is in good condition. ***GAUGES--All gauges (Speedometer, gas gauge, temperature gauge) are functional. ***ENGINE--Original stock 170 cubic inch 6 cylinder that runs GREAT! Recent valve adjustment. ***NEW (UNDER THE HOOD) PARTS--Rebuilt stock 1-barrel carburetor, new starter, new distributor, new points, plugs, plug wires, new fuel pump, new battery and new solenoid. ***OTHER NEW PARTS--New gas tank with new fuel sending unit. New Monroe "Sensa-Trac" load-adjusting rear shocks and new Monroe front shocks. Front end suspension and steering are good with no issues. The lower control arms have also been replaced at some point. ***TRANSMISSION--Original stock 3-speed manual transmission with fresh fluids that shifts well through all gears. New output shaft seal. ***BRAKES--Drum brakes that work well and have been gone through on all 4 wheels. ***TIRES & WHEELS--Newer 14" chrome wheels with FORD chrome center caps and newer white-wall tires that are like new!! ***STEREO--New Pioneer AM/FM/CD/MP3 player with Bluetooth and remote control mounted in the glovebox. New 3-way Pioneer speakers mounted in rear behind seat and New 2-way Pioneer speakers mounted in front kick panels. Original radio in dash, but is not functional. ***WINDOW GLASS--All windows are in great condition. ***BUMPERS--Good condition. ***BED/TAILGATE--Truck bed is in good condition with no holes. Tailgate works properly.  

All of the parts listed above as being NEW were put on or in the Ranchero within the past 1-2 years!! This Ranchero has had a restoration sometime in the past, but I am not sure when. The floorpans have been repaired in the past before I bought it. They are solid and functional, but not reproduction floorpans!! Overall, this Ranchero is solid and it looks GREAT!! But, it is not perfect! Mechanically, it is near perfect and runs and drives GREAT!! This Ranchero is a BLAST to drive and always draws attention wherever I go!! Circumstances change, so I have decided to sell it. I HAVE SET A VERY LOW RESERVE ON THIS RANCHERO!! Especially, when you consider the overall condition and everything that has been done to it!! I also have a 1963 Ford Falcon Futura 4-door sedan that is a original factory 260 cu. in. V-8 engine, automatic transmission car with factory power steering. It has 63530 ACTUAL miles!! I bought this car, just in case, I ever wanted to put a V-8 in the Ranchero!! I am going to put it on Ebay later. 

***TERMS OF SALE--A $500.00 Deposit (Non-Refundable) is required within 24 hours of auction ending and the balance due after the deposit must be PAID IN FULL within 7 days of auction end. Pickup must be within 7-10 days, unless other arrangements are made with seller!! NO SHIPPING, unless buyer makes all arrangements and payment for shipping!! I will assist in any way I can, if buyer chooses to have the Ranchero shipped.

Top torque-to-weight ratios under $100k, $50k and $25k

Tue, 07 Oct 2014

Horsepower may steal a lot of headlines, but the always-more-complex torque figure is often a critical one for both the workingman and the motoring playboy. The measure of rotational force represents the twist that can liquefy one's tires or haul one's horse trailer. Good stuff.
It follows then, that as with the horsepower-to-weight list that we assembled for you a few months ago, a list of cars that offer the most pound-feet with the fewest pounds to carry, is an interesting one to break down. Sure, there's a big difference in how the torque is applied from a turbocharged six-cylinder in a Swedish luxury sedan and a massive heavy-duty truck's turbo-diesel. But being the car/stat geeks that we are, we think it's kinda neat that those two vehicles rank near each other where torque and weight intersect.
As with the horsepower list, we've given you figures as pounds per every one pound-foot. Again broken down into broad price categories, we've got a mixed bag of 2014 and 2015 models here, too. Every effort has been made to select the most up-to-date prices and specs, and we've also to omitted some '14 cars that won't be re-upped after the ongoing yearly changeover.

Ex-PR chief Vines accuses Ford of bugging cars, phones

Fri, 24 Oct 2014

Jason Vines, former head of communications at Ford among other automakers, is accusing the Blue Oval of bugging his company phone and his car during the Firestone tire recall for the Explorer in 2001. The allegations have come to light in Vines' upcoming book What Did Jesus Drive? Crisis PR in Cars, Computers and Christianity.
According to The Detroit News, which has an advance copy of the book, Vines (pictured above) claims that after leaving the company, someone with security within Ford advised him that he had been bugged around the time of the recall. The allegations don't stop there, though. Vines further contends that he might not have been the only one to get this treatment, noting that then-general counsel John Rintamaki also believed he was being listened to.
According to The Detroit News, even if it had been a company phone, recording Vines without his knowledge still would have been a felony under Michigan law.

Ford files trademark application for 'Model E'

Fri, 27 Dec 2013

In early December, Ford filed an application with the US Patent and Trademark Office for the name "Model E." Historically, Ford never produced a Model E, and while automakers are known to file for trademarks they never use, some have wondered if the application might be used for a concept car.
Based on other recent events, though, it could be a legal move. In 2000 Ford sued an online start-up called Model E over the similarity of that name to Ford's industry-shaping Model T, but the judge dismissed the case citing lack of proper grounds. In August 2013, Tesla applied for trademark registration for Model E, and at the time, Ford said it would review the application. Tesla actually made two applications for Model E, one for automobiles and structural parts therefore, the other for "providing maintenance and repair services for automobiles," and there are plenty of theories about what the name could be applied to.
The Published for Opposition date for Tesla's applications is December 31, 2013, after which anyone who thinks they'd be harmed by Tesla being granted the trademark gets 30 days to register their issues. This is just speculation, but Ford's application - which was filed for automobiles only - might be about protecting what it sees as unwelcome encroachment on the name Model T, protection it wasn't able to enforce before when the stakes were only online and much smaller.
