Not So Lone Ranger: ’73 Ford Bronco V-8

Category: Submitted Tags: , , Leave a Comment

72 Ford Bronco

We continually post fine examples of uncut, original Ford Broncos and I think we might need to explain why. There are only 3 collectible 4X4s: the Land Rover, Toyota FJ40 and the Ford Bronco (sorry JEEP CJ fans). Each one has their own distinct persona based on the country of origin. Ford product manager Donald N. Frey and General Manager, Lee Iacocca, who pushed it into production, conceived the Bronco. The same duo was responsible for bringing the Mustang to market. They must have been pretty busy guys. In some ways, the Bronco is more “all new” than the Mustang, from an engineers perspective that is.

Another Hybrid: ’72 DeTomaso Pantera

Category: Submitted Tags: , , , Leave a Comment

72 DeTomaso Pantera

We have seen quite a few DeTomaso Panteras but none that called out to us like this one. That doesn’t mean that the others were inferior, they just didn’t have a story like this one. First, a short version on how the Pantera came to be. Henry Ford wasn’t satisfied with vanquishing Ferrari at LeMans. He still craved owning an Italian carmaker. He thought the Mangusta that DeTomaso built was very interesting but he liked the car that was in development better. It was designed Tom Tjaarda while he worked at Ghia. Read More

Leno-like: ’63 Ford Falcon Sprint V-8

Category: Submitted Tags: , 1 Comment

'63 Ford Falcon Sprint

If you have ever been on Jay Leno’s Garage website, we encourage you to do so. Jay is one of the most well known car collectors and all-around nice guy. Jay, a true enthusiast, drives his cars, allegedly a different one every day. I can’t say that we have exactly the same taste in cars but we do intersect in a few areas. Jay purchased a car featured by our friends at Bring-A-Trailer a few years ago. It was a ’63 Ford Falcon Sprint Rally Car Clone – sort of. Read More

A Great Racer: ’30 Ford Model A

Category: Submitted Tags: , , Leave a Comment

30 Ford Model A

The terrific part of our hobby is competition. Those of us who love old cars have a secret passion for competition. While some feed that passion with a trip to a Concours, others take the gritty route of racing. Racing has diversity within the category. It can be on a track or off. The track stuff speaks for itself. You bring a race car to a track, pass safety and scrutineering and off you go. Of course, you need a license and a modicum of skill. But it isn’t always about winning. Read More

Leno likes these: ’66 Ford Galaxie 7-Litre

66 Ford Galaxie

This is not your grandfather’s Ford Galaxie. This is a rip-snortiing Q-Code, 7-Litre pumping out a respectable 345hp and 462 lbs of torque. That’s pretty impressive. This Galaxie was a much-loved car by the original owner who never drove it in the rain and put it away during the winter. Read More

Work Horse: ’66 Ford F100

Category: Submitted Tags: , , Leave a Comment

66 Ford F100

The Ford F100 was one of the best selling vehicles for Ford. And 47 years later, this truck is still demand. This find is a ’66 Ford F100 with a straight 6 cyl, 4 speed manual transmission and get this – 20,000 original miles.  The truck was purchased new in Potter Valley, CA. The Ford was delivered to the original owner’s ranch and never left.  It sat for much of its life so the seller had to do some serious mechanical work to make it roadworthy. There is a rebuilt the cylinder head, hardened valve seats, all new valve seals and springs.   Read More

The Cleaver’s Road Trip: ’64 Ford Country Wagon

64 Ford Country

64 Ford Country

It’s summer and we promised Wally and the Beaver we would take them on a road trip to Yosemite. We’ll need a roomy car with all the options and a powerful V-8 too. This ’64 Ford with a 352ci Thunderbird 4-barrel engine will do just fine. Today’s find is another “I wish we found it” kind of car. It has 68,000 miles, original paint and interior both in remarkable condition. The car survived with all of its documentation too. A really rare occurrence for a disposable car from the 1960s.

Rally Time: ’64 Ford Falcon Sprint

Category: Your Pick Tags: , , 5 Comments

Ford Falcon Sprint

Ford’s Total Performance mantra of the 60s didn’t confine itself to conquering LeMans to vanquish Ferrari. Although Henry was so ticked off at Enzo, it was certainly a priority. When the racing folks at Dearborn decided to rally race, they selected the Falcon to carry the banner. Fortunately Henry Ford was not peeved at Paddy Hopkirk (rally champ) so the rally assault wasn’t as visceral as LeMans.  Read More

Ford-a-rama: ’63 Ford Galaxie 500 XL

Category: Submitted Tags: , Leave a Comment

63 Ford 390 V8

Ford didn’t have Motoramas like GM. If they did, let us know. Unlike the Biscayne above, this is a real 390, Z-Code Galaxie. What we find interesting is the body style on the Galaxie. Many of the Z-Code cars are fastbacks and not notchbacks like this one. It is a lot less stealth-like than the Biscayne clone. In fact, it screams hot-rodness in Rangoon Red inside and out. But that’s okay with us. This Galaxie also has power steering and brakes but this one has discs up front. Read More

52 Ford F300 Truck

The Rat Rod craze is alive and well and spreading to old stake trucks. Rat Rods are so “bad boy” we really love them. But like any Mint-worthy post, we prefer our Rats to be created by nature. This truck is your typical “ran when parked” story. Read More

Off with its flat-head: ’40 Ford Deluxe Tudor

Category: Your Pick Tags: , Leave a Comment

1940 Ford V-8

The 1937 Ford featured a more rounded look with fine horizontal bars in the convex front and hood-side grilles. The front grille was V-shaped, rather than following the fenders into a pentagon shape. Faired-in headlights were a major modernization found on both the Standard and DeLuxe trim versions, though much of the rest of the design was shared between Ford’s two lines. The 1940 model year was the last year for this design. An unmodified 1940 Ford Deluxe Tudor sedan is hard to find but it is even harder to find one unrestored and in original condition.  Read More

930 Ford Model A

The seller’s Great Grandfather bought the Ford new back in 1930. Great Grandfather may have chipped a tooth on a gear in the transmission and just parked the sedan a long, long time ago. Enter the seller, who rescued the Ford from a long slumber. Read More

Those were the days: ’71 Ford Country Squire Wagon

Category: Submitted Tags: , , Leave a Comment

71 Ford Country Squire

These cars were pretty much disposable so it really nice to see one in such fresh and useable condition. And wow, are they big! This is the last and we believe final method for getting woodgrain on the side of a station wagon. Real wood was first and it was structural. Then came real wood trim in the early 50s. After that the tin woodies were in fashion. Read More

The Drag Scene: ’65 Ford Falcon B/FX Tribute

Category: Submitted Tags: , Leave a Comment

65 Ford Falcon B/FX

In the 60s Drag scene, the A/FX class was owned by Chrysler in the ’60s, so Ford wanted to own the small-block class with Comets and Falcons. These B/FX Fords were limited in number and were all four-speeds, so now they are relegated to museums and auctions. Why not build your own that you can have fun with? Read More

Not really a pickup: ’65 Ford Ranchero

Category: Your Pick Tags: , Leave a Comment

65 Ford Ranchero

Way back in the early days of Mint2Me, we had a similar Ranchero to today’s find and was really surprised by the level of interest in it. Coincidentally, we mentioned Ranchero yesterday when we offered that interesting looking Dodge Sweptline. Ford downsized the Ranchero to the Falcon platform and that just made it ripe for a little tweaking. Read More
