V8 “Ute” Project: 1964 Ford Ranchero

After three years as a full-size pickup, the Ford Ranchero was a compact “Ute” (utility vehicle) from 1960 to 1965. During that period, it was based on the successful Falcon, one of many cars that the Falcon would spawn… more»

Parked in ’55! 1932 Ford Roadster

This epic find came to light about ten years ago, a 1932 Ford roadster last registered in 1955! Now the former magazine-featured “deuce” can become the next life-sized Matchbox car in your personal hot rod museum. The practically untouched… more»

Pristine Panther: 1991 Ford Crown Victoria

Every now and again, we’re offered reminders at how truly competent Ford’s Panther platform was. These full-size models were well-used by government agencies, rental car counters, livery drivers, and commuters everywhere in the 1980s, and despite the Panther platform’s… more»

Desert Find: 1962 Ford F-100 Unibody 292 V8

Other than a convertible pickup (I’m looking at you, Dodge Dakota), I can’t think of a more interesting design or configuration than a Ford Integrated Body truck, more commonly known as a Unibody. I’m biased as they’re by far… more»

Affordable Performance: 1994 Ford Taurus SHO

Let’s be brutally honest: Driving a 1994 Ford Taurus is the automotive equivalent of watching paint dry. The company designed the vehicle to be a competent daily driver, not one to set pulses racing. However, by joining forces with… more»

Glamorous Looks at a Low Cost: 1935 Ford Phaeton

The phaeton body style was one of the last vestiges of the automobile’s horse-drawn heritage.  These cars were generally light, handsomely styled, had four doors, and were less costly than their convertible sedan brethren.  One of the reasons for… more»

Needs Finishing: 1966 Ford Mustang

This 1966 Mustang would have been the least potent version produced by Ford during that model year. However, the seller has performed a few sensible upgrades, and its next owner could push the boat out to create the classic… more»

R-Code 428 Project: 1969 Ford Torino Cobra Jet

Based on performance, things didn’t get much better for the 1969 Ford Torino than how this one started out, so I hope somebody has the time, skills, and wallet full of cash it will take to get this one… more»

Solid Project: 1968 Ford Mustang Fastback

It is sometimes challenging to determine whether a classic is desirable, but this 1966 Mustang Fastback leaves little doubt. It is a relatively solid project candidate, although there are rust repairs required if it is to present at its… more»

R-Code Project: 1969 Ford Mustang Mach 1

How much would you be willing to pay for a 1969 Mustang Mach 1 requiring rust repairs and total restoration? Hold that thought for a moment. What if the car in question is essentially complete and features its original… more»

BF Auction: 1964.5 Ford Mustang

Let’s start by clarifying the factual accuracy of the 1964.5 Mustang; I know, and you know, that there was technically no such thing. All Mustangs from the beginning of production until Ford closed down the line for the 1966… more»

1966 Ford Galaxie 500 Chicago Police Car Tribute

A Ford Galaxie 500 four-door hardtop is a little fancy for a police car, but I bet in the history of law enforcement, a few have slipped through the paperwork cracks. This 1966 Ford Galaxie 500 is a tribute… more»

460-Powered 1993 Ford F-250 SuperCab 4×4

A few years ago, my father-in-law sold his ’95 F-250 SuperCab 4×4. Powered by the famous 7.3 Power Stroke, I made the mistake of letting his truck idle outside my dining room window on a cold day after I… more»

30-Year Garage Find: 1966 Ford Mustang

The first iteration of the Ford Mustang (1964 to 1966) had some of the highest production numbers ever for an American car. Nearly 1.3 million copies of the little “pony” were built across 30 months, meaning the assembly line… more»

Mostly Original: 1961 Ford Falcon

Let’s be honest; Robert McNamara was never cut out for the car industry. More at home in an accounting office than a design studio or an engineering workshop, he viewed automobiles as a way to make money, and nothing… more»

Patina Pickup: 1979 Ford F-150 4×4 Short Box

Some trucks just have “the look,” don’t they. Patina is polarizing, but this ’79 Ford could be in the background of a country music video or, with a few modifications, the 43rd Mad Max sequel. It’s light on rust (except… more»
