Vehicle Description
For sale is this beautiful 1962 Ford Falcon Ranchero. I recently
purchased this car at auction here in San Diego, and it appears to
have had a complete frame-off restoration. I would love to know
more about this rare car and the restoration process it endured,
but unfortunately I do not have a complete history of the vehicle.
But, as you can tell from the photographs, the restoration was
thorough and of a very high quality.
This is an all original restoration; straight six cylinder 144ci
engine, manual three speed on-the-column, drum brakes, all original
dash components. Bucket reclining seats and an all new tan interior
now occupy the cab.
This is not a �hot rod� restoration, but one deserving of a
�trailer-queen� status. The engine fires immediately and the manual
column shifts smoothly. You'll be able to obtain speeds as high as
60mph on a smooth expressway ride, but don't be fooled, this is a
car to show, drive, and have fun experiencing what it was truly
like on the road in 1962.
I am also able to provide financing to qualified buyer's!
In 1960, the Ranchero became much smaller, based on Ford's compact
Falcon, specifically the two-door sedan delivery variant. The
popularity of small, economical cars like the Volkswagen Beetle
perpetuated a shift in thinking among the three largest American
manufacturers. The economic recession of the late 1950s also
certainly played a role. Ford believed the market wanted a more
practical vehicle, one much smaller, lighter, and cheaper than a
full-sized pickup truck, and indeed the Ranchero sold well in this
incarnation. Now marketed in print as the "Falcon Ranchero", the
new vehicle's standard powerplant was an economical 144 cu in (2.4
L) straight-6. In 1961, the 170 cu in (2.8 L) straight-6 was
offered, and in 1963, the optional 260 cu in (4.3 L) V8 was offered
in addition to the 144 and 170. The two-speed Ford-O-Matic
automatic transmission (offered between 1960 and 1963) or
three-speed C4 Cruise-O-Matic could be ordered as could a
three-speed manual transmission. The Ranchero had an 800-lb load
capacity.
