You are bidding on a 1971 Ford Ranchero 500 which came from the factory finished in Ford's best color, Calypso Coral. It has been repainted once over the original paint in a slightly brighter shade of red which still shines and looks very nice. In my opinion 1970 and 1971 were the pinnacle years for Ranchero and it's cousin, the Torino. Here are some specific details: -Factory H-code V8 car-Rebuilt 1968 Torino GT 302 4v high compression performance engine featuring mild cam, 4v high-rise intake, Edelbrock carb, and headers; approximately 12K miles on rebuild-Rebuilt 9" 3.50:1 Traction Lock rear end approximately 12K miles ago-C4 automatic transmission and floor shifter-Dual exhaust-Power steering and power brakes-Bench seat interior with black upholstery, door panels, and new carpet kit installed-Chrome trim, stainless steel trim, and glass are all in good driver-quality condition-New chrome Magnum 500 wheels with excellent Grand Am radial tires-Power steering and power brakes with front discs-GT hood-Dual outside chrome racing mirrors-Hideaway headlamp grill *(missing headlamp doors and mechanism; car ships with a nice standard grill as well) The Ranchero runs very strong and drives out well. While not perfect, it's reliable enough to get in and drive across the country. The paint is what I'd call a 15-20 footer; looks good, shines well, but demonstrates some cracks, blemishes, and other age issues on close examination. Still shines like mad in the sun and gets lots of attention! The body is very straight overall, with only minor evidence of rust beginning to show in the rear wheel well area. I've priced the car fairly so someone can enjoy a cool, reliable, and good-looking classic without breaking the bank. While every effort is being made to describe the car accurately, please keep in mind that it is a 42-year-old vehicle, and being sold as-is, without warranty expressed or implied.
