Ford Falcon 460ci V8 1962

General description : 1962 Ford Falcon Ranchero The Ranchero platform was introduced by Ford in 1957 and was a coupe utility vehicle similar to the El Camino.  That being said, the popular El Camino, wouldn't be introduced until a few years later.  The idea was to take the 2 door station wagon and adapt it to integrate a cab and cargo bed into the body.  Suddenly you now had other options outside of committing to a car vs truck.  These vehicles were significantly smaller than their full size pickup counterparts and opened up a whole new world for consumers.  The second generation was released in 1960 and now was much smaller becoming based on the Ford Falcon.  Trends were shifting to smaller more economical cars and the Falcon answered the call.  This 1962 Ranchero is an extremely well built car and is a step above your average Ranchero.  You don't see many of these modified so this pro touring custom is guaranteed to stand out in any crowd.  It has 1,167 miles on it since being completed and was done in California. It is painted in a nice Wimbledon White which is period correct for the 60's.  All the exterior chrome and stainless from bumper to bumper is in great shape with a very nice shine.  The glass is tinted throughout and free of any cracks or issues.  The bed is all very nicely done and the inner fenders have been tubbed to allow space for a wide rear tire.  The wheels are XXR Platinums and have a beautiful finish.  It wears a 17 inch up front, 19 inch in back and the rears are 12 inches wide. With some serious meats under the rear end you can bet this custom is packing something special under the scooped hood.  Well turning those back tires is a custom built 460 ci motor that runs strong and sounds great.  It is fitted with a Holley dual feed 4 barrel carburetor, aluminum intake, March serpentine belt system, Mallory Unilite distributor with Taylor wires, and Ford Racing valve covers.  The engine compartment is extremely clean with a modified recessed firewall and custom cover to hide the aluminum radiator with dual electric fans.  Backing up the motor is a C4 automatic transmission with 2400 stall converter to transfer power back to the Ford 9 inch 4.11 Detroit locker rear end.  The suspension system is all custom with a Scott's powder coated subframe, tubular upper & lower control arms, front sway bar and adjustable coil overs.  The car starts right up and has a really nice sound through ceramic coated headers into custom 3 inch X-Pipe dual exhaust with Flowmasters and stainless tips that exit below the rear bumper.  It has been set up to be a true smooth pro touring driver which of course comes with additional upgrades like Wilwood 4 wheel disc brakes with slotted/drilled rotors, Red calipers and a power rack & pinion steering system.  It also has twin 10 gallon fuel tanks with electric fuel pump, stainless lines and polyurethane bushings.  So whether you are heading out to your local cruise in or about to hop on the Power Tour this thing can handle it no problem.    The interior is custom Red leather that has been clearly well cared for since it was completed.  The adjustable high back bucket seats look great and feature Silver inserts with headrests and seat belts.  The carpet, door panels, headliner and upholstery are all nice throughout.  Between the seats is the emergency brake handle and custom mounted Lokar shifter with LED gear indicator.  In front of the driver sits a nicely painted tilt column topped off with a Billet wheel.  The remainder of the dash is also nicely painted and features Auto Meter gauges with an Auto Meter Sport Comp tachometer, a Kenwood Stereo and an underdash AC/Heat system.  Other nice extras include an electric cutoff switch behind the seat. This is one awesome Ranchero that is going to be a hit wherever you take it.  It is a really unique build that incorporates the best of the best.  Plus, being a Ranchero the likelihood of you seeing another done to this level is pretty slim. This beautiful custom could be yours for $52,500.00!

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
