Classy 1960 Ford Ranchero Custom Fresh Build, Everything New. Drive Anywhere! on 2040-cars

Year:1960 Mileage:500

Loomis, California, United States

Very cute, clean 1960 Ranchero.  This whole car is a fresh build and guaranteed to bring smiles.  Runs great with a 170 cubic inch inline 6 from a 1963 Falcon, acompanied by a 3 speed manual transmission with a Hurst "Indy shifter".  The motor and front suspension have been thoroughly gone through, new Fisk whitewall tires, new clutch, newly upholstered seats, new carpet kit, and much more. This car drives amazing and can be driven comfortably all day. There is absolutely no slop in the steering box or front suspension. The suspension has all been lowered about 3", but it still rides like a stock Ranchero, it doesn't bounce around like many other lowered cars. The body is very straight and rust free, aside from two patch panels, one on each floorboard of the car in the foot-well area on either side.  Both patches are about 1' x 1' in size. The car isn't perfect, but it is very fun and shows very well.  Overall, this car is extremely reliable, and can be driven anywhere. Easy to work on, easy to find parts for, cheap and very cool custom car with tons of new parts, fresh motor, and new paint.


Drivetrain and motor: The previous owner had it rebuilt, and she runs like a top. Starts immediately on cold and hot days. Motor never gets above 180 degrees, and gets very good gas mileage. New fuel pump, Pertronix ignition, blaster coil, remanufactured carburetor, new alternator and a new .aluminum radiator. Motor doesn't tick, leak or smoke.  The motor and transmission are both from a donor 1963 Falcon.  Clutch is new and doesn't chatter or slip. The transmission works perfectly, no grinding, and shifts very well with the new Hurst "Indy Shifter". Tires are "Fisk Classics" with a 1" whitewall. Everything has approximately 500 miles in overall use.

Upholstery: A very classy look, with a new carpet kit, reupholstered bucket seats, detailed dash, chrome Hurst shifter, JVC brand, CD-MP3-AM-FM stereo with two 6" Kicker 2-way speakers in the door panels. The interior shows well, but there is an empty space in the dash where the original AM radio used to be, along with 5 small holes where the factory heater control and vent control knobs used to be, however it is a great spot for new toggle switches to go.  The dash paint looks very nice and is satin black. There has been body work done to the doors to get rid of the door glass and it looks very good, a nice custom touch.  The door panels and bed are decked out with Alder wood, that has been stained and treated with urethane. All lights work.  Doors, hood, and tailgate open and close great.

If you would like to see and test drive the car, call Skyler, weekdays  at 1 (916) 652-6852. I am located about 18 miles east of  Sacramento California just off Hwy 80.

Former Ford CEO Alan Mulally lands on Google board

Wed, 16 Jul 2014

Former Ford CEO Alan Mulally often referred to the Blue Oval as a technology company when he led the automaker. Now he'll be offering guidance to a different kind of technology firm: Google.
Mulally was appointed to Google's board of directors July 9, and late Tuesday, it was announced that he will serve on the company's audit committee. The veteran executive led Ford from September 2006 until he retired in June, succeeded by Mark Fields.
While Mulally will act as a board member - rather than in a managerial role - his presence adds credibility to Google's recently announced plans to produce an autonomous car. The ambitious program calls for 100 prototypes to begin testing later this summer. Production of the car is rumored to be in collaboration with a Detroit area performance company, Roush.

2015 Ford Mustang renders reveal look of the real thing

Tue, 15 Oct 2013

This is, according to the pony-car obsessed kids over at Mustang6G.com, the closest, most accurate rendering of the new, 2015 Ford Mustang to date. Artis Chazcron used a combination of Ford CAD images and information from assorted spy shots to assemble a fairly handsome car, albeit one that conforms to the tired cliché of being more evolutionary than revolutionary.
Now, it's very important to note that these are still speculative renders, and that they only represent the base car - that could explain the lack of the Mustang's vestigial side scoops, along with other, newer styling cues that Mustang6G seems to think will arrive on production models. Those items include a new, double-bubble roof, although the Mustang aficionados claim that even if it were present, it'd barely be visible from these angles.
The front end is pretty spot on, compared to what we've seen from earlier spy shots, while the tail, with its interesting light design is something new. The louvered taillights look quite different from the current version, obviously, though Mustang has gone the whimsical route with taillights before. Also, note the new rear diffuser uses an integrated reverse light and rear foglight, the latter of which is required for sale in Europe.

Fallon picks Ford F-150 King Ranch, launches dealership contest

Tue, 01 Apr 2014

New truck! Jimmy Fallon of The Tonight Show has been searching for the perfect new truck for a few weeks now, soliciting help from all corners in the process. Last night, Fallon made the announcement that the Ford F-150 King Ranch - in all of its cowboy glory - had been picked as his big winner.
To add some more spice to a storyline that now dips deeply into the realm of the advertorial, Fallon also announced a contest to see which Ford dealership would get the privilege of selling him the King Ranch. Dubbed "Fingers on a 4x4" The Tonight Show has invited 10 dealer reps from around the country to keep their hands on Jimmy's F-150 for as long as possible. Last salesperson standing wins.
Watch Fallon make his pick and introduce the dealer reps below, and be sure to click on the second video for a live-streaming feed of Fingers on a 4x4 in action (the contest seems to be going strong).
