Vehicle description
This Ranchero has been carefully maintained and nicely restored by the previous owner of the last 42 years. The engine is a 351/2V Cleveland which was completely rebuilt to factory specs in 2009. This is the original matching numbers engine. Behind the Cleveland is a 3-speed automatic trans and factory differential with street gearing. LED lighting has been added under the hood for show, and a mechanical power shut-off sits just behind the battery for long-term storage or show with the doors open. In my case, the power shut-off has been used to meticulously keep the battery on a tender while disconnected from the rest of the car when kept in the garage. The body was reshot in Ford Race Red in 2016. Front and rear bumpers have been nicely re-chromed and the new sprayed bed liner is superb. It also has an air-pressure adjustable rear suspension so you can adjust the rake on the vehicle or pump it up to haul something heavy. The wheels are period correct Hurricane 14" Turbine alloy wheels which finish off the exterior. The interior was reupholstered in black vinyl and the dash holds factory gauges plus an aftermarket tachometer that fits in the original clock bezel. The Ranchero is equipped with A/C, an AM/FM stereo, tinted windows, power steering and power disc/drum brakes. This Ranchero is a classic and is mechanically VERY solid. I even have the original sales docs from 1972 and well documented maintenance activities. With a bit under 51,000 miles on the odometer, this would make a great showpiece or daily driver. The title is clean and additional photos are available upon request. Don"t let this one slip away!
