1963 FORD FALCON RANCHER0. CLEAN ORIGINAL!

1961 Ford Ranchero Description

1963 FORD FALCON RANCHERO. VERY ORIGINAL. NICE OLDER RESTORATION. ORIGINAL STRAIGHT 6 CYLINDER MOTOR AND 3 SPEED TRANSMISSION. RUNS GREAT! CARB WAS RECENTLY PROFESSIONALLY REBUILT. RECENT TUNE UP, POINTS, PLUGS, ETC.... TIRES ARE LIKE NEW INCLUDING SPARE. BRAKES ARE GOOD WITH NEW REAR WHEEL CYLINDERS. ODOMETER READS 24,000 SO I ASSUME ITS 124,000. I'VE OWNED IT ABOUT 5 YEARS AND HAVE ONLY PUT ABOUT 200 MILES ON IT IN THAT TIME.THEY ONLY MADE THESE WITH THE COOL FRONT HOOD CHROME HOOD SCOOP FOR 2 YEARS, 62-63 SO THIS IS A PRETTY RARE MODEL. I HAD A 61 MANY YEARS AGO AND IT DID NOT HAVE THIS. BY 64, FALCONS HAD A TOTALLY DIFFERENT, MORE SQUARE BODY, NOT NEARLY AS NICE! CAR IS VERY CLEAN AND STRAIGHT BUT NOT PERFECT. LOCAL INSPECTION WELCOME.
INTERIOR IS VERY CLEAN, SEAT IS VERY NICE, WITH ORIGINAL SEAT BELTS. SEAT, HEADLINER AND CARPET HAVE BEEN REDONE. HEADLINER IS LIKE NEW! DASH IS VERY NICE, PADDED DASH ALTHOUGH IT HAS FADED A BIT FROM THE SUN. JUST NEEDS TO BE RE-DYED IF YOU'RE A PERFECTIONIST. THE CAR DOES HAVE A FEW RUST BUBBLES STARTING ON THE LOWER DOOR PANELS BUT, NOTHING MAJOR. .I ALSO HAVE ORIGINAL OWNER'S MANUAL AND A SHOP MANUAL FOR IT. THE CAR IS TOTALLY ORIGINAL EXCEPT FOR THE COLUMN SHIFT HAS BEEN CHANGED OVER TO A FLOOR SHIFT. SAME ORIGINAL 3 SPEED TRANNY THOUGH. ORIGINAL A.M. RADIO IS NOT HOOKED UP. I BELIEVE IT JUST NEEDS A SPEAKER CONNECTED.
REGULAR FALCON SEDANS, EVEN THE CONVERTIBLES, ARE A DIME A DOZEN BUT, THEY DID NOT MAKE MANY RANCHEROS IN THE EARLY YEARS, THEY ARE VERY RARE, ESPECIALLY IN THIS CONDITION! THEY ONLY MADE THIS HOOD STYLE 2 YEARS, WITH THE CHROME HOOD SCOOP, 62-63, BEFORE CHANGING THE BODIES COMPLETELY IN 64 TO THE UGLY, MORE SQUARE STYLE. 61 DID NOT HAVE THE HOOD SCOOP EITHER. IF THIS CAR WAS IN MINT CONDITION, IT WOULD EASILY BE WORTH $18K BUT, BECAUSE IT IS NOT PERFECT, JUST NEEDS A FEW SMALL DETAILS, I'M WILLING TO TAKE MUCH LESS FOR IT. THERE YOU HAVE IT.
