You do great work Frank ! Beautiful car. It's begging for a hot 347 Ford crate motor.

sad to say its got to go I'm getting a 2 owner 66 mustang convertible only problem is its a 6 cyl also only a 3 spd maybe that the one for that motor
 
For years now I have been seeing some Ranchero's with the 2 - tone paint job , like above . Anybody know if it was an option , or something individual owners did themselves ?

In 1964... it isn't mentioned in the "Deluxe Trim Package" paragraph on the last page.
A more generic upper/lower two-tone is described in the Exterior specifications paragraph.

But the white side stripe was a factory option in '65...

A description of the '65 two-tone paint option is in the 'Exterior specifications' section.
The side stripe was white, except on a white Ranchero it would be red.

If all you can get out of it is 50-55, there is something wrong with it. my dad had a 64 Falcon wagon with the small six (144) and I being a young kid, ( 16 at the time ) used to regularly run it up over 90 when I was allowed to use the car. the old man would have kicked my butt if he would have known
 
If you were closer, I would be tempted. I have always had a soft spot for the '63 through '65 Falcons/ Rancheros
