Description : Gateway Classic Cars of Louisville is proud to present this 1963 Ford Falcon Ranchero! While many are familiar with the El Camino and think it was the first of its kind in 1959, that is incorrect. Ford did it first with the Ranchero in 1957. Adapted from a 2-door Wagon it integrated the cab and cargo bed into the body. Over half a million would be produced up until 1979 across 7 generations. Here we have a 1963, 3rd year of the 2nd generation. This body style drew the design off Ford's Falcon which made the Ranchero much smaller. The black paint looks very sharp. The chrome is nice and bright, and the bed is lined. The American Racing gunmetal gray 17x8 Torq-Thrust 2 wheels wrapped in 235/45/R17 Raptor Riken Tires gives her a great stance! The red vinyl interior contrasts well with the black exterior and is in great shape. Powering this Ford is a 302ci V8 believed out of a 1986 Mustang with cam duration 282/282 lift 498/498. Power is routed down through a T5 5-speed manual transmission out of a '98 Mustang and has a new clutch. 8.8 rear end from an '03 Explorer with 3:73 gear ratio narrowed to 53 inches by Moser. Other items in the nice build include: Parallel adjustable rear 4-Link, 4 corner adjustable coilovers, power steering (new gearbox and column), Holley electric fuel pump, Edelbrock 650cfm carburetor, Magnaflow 2.5" side exhaust, Vintage air with controls in factory location, Line-X Bedliner, Retrosound Radio w/1000 watt amp and 2x 10" subs behind seat, Dolphin gauges (all electric), and Champion aluminum radiator w/electric fan. Car runs, drives, and shifts out well and sure has a nice exhaust note! Current owner has had her for under a year, acquired from a private party in Alabama. These don't come into inventory very often let alone in this type of condition. Don't miss your chance to have this nicely built piece of history that is certain to make you smile, each an every mile, and for a long while. Options on this Ranchero include: A/C, Power Steering, Power Brakes, Vinyl Interior, Tilt Wheel, AM/FM Radio, Seat Belts, Aluminum Wheels, and Radial Tires.

About Ford
Ford, founded in 1902, has arguably changed the history of automotive world more than any other car manufacturer by introducing the first people's car Model T in 1908. They had produced more than 15 million cars by the end of the production in 1927, by which T had become obsolete.Ford launched the first low priced V8 engine powered car in 1932. 1932 V8 was an instant hit with superior handling and performance to many far more expansive cars of the day. No wonder 32 V8 Ford has become such a favourite among hot rodders around the world with 32 Deuce coupe as their icon.
During the war Ford completely shut down civilian vehicle production to dedicate all its resources to the Allied war efforts (1942-45) They used to build B-24 bombers, aircraft engines, jeeps, M-4 tanks, military trucks and Bren-gun carriers and more than 30,000 super-charged Rolls Royce Merlin V-12 engines for Mosquito and Lancaster bombers as well as P-51 Mustang fighters. After the war Ford cars in the USA got bigger and flashier along with their competitors. In the 60's Ford was back in the forefront again when introducing their commercial hit Mustang in 1964. Mustang was so popular the competition had to follow Ford's example and the ponycar phenomenon took over the US. Over the years the ponies grew some muscles until the oil crisis kill finally killed them off.
In the sixties Ford rushed into international motor sports scene with a fury. After unsuccessful Ferrari takeover, when Enzo Ferrari had cut the deal off with Henry Ford II making the latter absolutely boil with fury, Ford turned to Lola in UK to produce a Ferrari beating long distance racer after. The collaboration between Ford and Lola created the mighty Ford GT40 that absolutely beat Ferrari in Le Mans 24 numerous times.
In Europe, Ford introduced some of the most epic race and rally cars of the 60's based on humble family sedans; Cortina GT, Lotus Cortina, Escort Twin Cam, and Escort 1600RS with the iconic Cosworth BDA engines.
Today classic Fords are extremely popular with enthusiasts and a great selection of classic Fords can be found for sale at www.ClassicDigest.com
