This Ranchero was a one owner car until I purchased 2012. It spend it whole time in Carlsbad, Ca. The vehicle went into storage sometime in 1997 or 98, owner not sure. I have all receipts dateing back to 1983 up to 1996. The last recorded mileage was 89286. Today mileage is 91268. I have receipts for over $1000.00 that I spent getting the car updated. All receipts will go with the vehicle. Here is a list of most of the installed. All fluids, oil, water, brake fluid and trans fluid. Power steering control valve and pump. Shift collar, battery, turn signal switch, power steering hoses (2), Head light switch, Fuel tank fill hose, radiator over flow tank, neutral safety switch, lighter, driver side window regulator, glove box and other miscellaneus items. This car also has a trailer hitch.
What it need machinicaly it may need a fuel sending unit or the wires going to sending unit is problem. I did test the fuel gauge and it is working using a test system. The carburetor needs adjusting. The lower DS door hinge need a spring which will go with the car. The clock does not work. The radio works fine.
After getting the car running it starts on first try with just one pump. It drives very nice except for a slight hesitation on fast acceleration. This is why I think the carb needs adjusting. It drives true and straight and feel strong and is quiet. The tires look new but were purchased sometime before 4/1/93
The body looks original with only three small problems. The only rust is a strip on the tailgate that holds tailgate panel on at the bottom. The strip is about 1 inch wide and the length of the tailgate. It is screwed on and should be replaced. There is a dent on the right rocker panel. see picture, and a repair done on the right rear over the wheel well that could have been done better. I took a picture but I don't think it shows in the picture. The car was repainted in Feburary 1993 as receipts show. There are a few chips and a spot where the paint has come off, it is about roughly 2 x 5 inches. The floor pants show NO signs of rust as well as the body. The interior is missing one arm rest and could use new door panels and seat covers.
California black plates not included in sale......
I've done my best to describe the car and if you have any questions please ask.
It is a very good daily driver and a good starting point for restoration which I was planning, but due to health problems at 72 years old I no longer can do any work.

BMW V8-powered Ford Model A is the definition of Hot Rod
Thu, 20 Jun 2013Today, hotrodding has a pretty staid definition. Take one classic American car, add one classic American V8, sprinkle with tire smoke and you pretty much have every hot rod to roll out of a shop in the last 40 years. Mike Borroughs knows it wasn't always this way. Once upon a time, getting your bucket to go faster meant grabbing whatever parts were lazing about the yard, bolting them together with a bit of ingenuity and laughing your way down the quarter mile. It's in that spirit that Burroughs built his 1928 Ford Model A.
Rather than turn to the tired flathead or the common Chevrolet small block, Burroughs plucked a 4.0-liter V8 from a 1995 BMW 7 Series. With 300 horsepower and 300 pound-feet of torque, the engine has no trouble shuffling the old A around town. He had to build a custom chassis to get everything to cooperate, but the result is a 1,500-pound heathen that looks built to harass dry lake beds. You can check it out in the video below. Be warned, the soundtrack by Hanni el Khatib may not be safe for work - awesomeness of this caliber rarely is.
Ford's official Euro aftermarket partner Mountune coming to US
Tue, 06 Aug 2013Now that we're getting a steady stream of Ford's European offerings, the aftermarket world is finally starting to catch up as well. UK-based aftermarket tuning company, Mountune has just announced that it will be setting up shop in California to provide high-performance and racing parts for Ford vehicles including the Focus ST and Fiesta ST.
Mountune lays claim to being Ford's "official European tuning partner," and US buyers will soon have access to these parts through Ford dealerships and with a Ford Racing warranty. Speaking of Ford Racing, Mountune also says that it will be working with Ford's in-house team to develop future components for both street and track. There are no specifics as of yet for which products will be offered here, but the company plans to launch a US-specific website later this month with more information.
Ford will probably never offer two RS models at the same time
Mon, 18 Mar 2013Autocar has some sour news for fans of go-fast Ford products. According to Roelant de Waard, Ford's president of marketing in Europe, the automaker will probably never offer more than one RS performance model for sale at the same time. That statement runs contrary earlier rumblings that suggested Ford would launch its next-generation Focus RS in 2015 and follow the hatch with a spate of other vehicles with an RS badge. But de Waard has made it clear that Ford of Europe is now focused on squarely on the next Mustang, even though there may be more RS models on the way eventually.
"What is clear is that the RS shouldn't be a series, or a car badge that we have in our portfolio all the time. It is an extreme car - something more than ST," he said.
That philosophy makes plenty of sense. We loved the old Focus RS - shown above in RS500 trim - because it was generally bonkers and plenty exclusive. Diluting either aspect is sure to end in disappointment for everyone involved.
