Here is, in my opinion, the best looking Ranchero Ford ever produced! It has a very tough, sinister look to it. It is also a vehicle that you do not see very often, even at car shows! No matter where I take this car, whether just to gas up or down to the grocery store, people give the thumbs up to it or start a conversation about it. I hate to part with it, but I just don't need a fourth car. This Ranchero is powered by a 351 Windsor that runs great. It is fed by a stock two-barrel carburator that makes good power while still being decent on fuel! These Windsor motors are known for being very torquey while at the same time extremely reliable. The 3-speed automatic shifts very smoothly with no hesitation. The brakes feel nice and firm, as they were just gone through and replaced. The power steering works well, and makes driving this beast a breeze! It does have a slight exhaust leak. This truck runs very good! The exterior of the Ranchero is in great shape, and there is no rust to be found! Not even in the bed where you see a lot of Rancheros getting it. The paint is in great shape, as are the GT stripes down the bed and! The body is very straight, having only a fraction of the imperfections you would expect on a vehicle its age. Awesome looking baby moon wheels with nearly new BF Goodrich tires compliment the overall look of this Ford! The interior is in good shape. The carpet is not tore up, but is old and could use a good cleaning. The dash is in excellent shape, having no cracks or rips. All original gauges work as they should. The rubber horn cover is there, but needs to be replaced. The bench seat is very comfortable, and has only minor wear. It does have the flip down armrests. All dash lights work well, and the glass is all in great shape. The a/c fan blows on all settings, but it will need to be charged to blow cold. The original am/fm radio provides the soundtrack to your boulevard cruising. There are two small tears in the headliner. No cuts were ever made in the dash. So don't let your chance to get an awesome muscle truck at a low price pass you by! Be confident that this car is as described. But please remember, even though the Ford is in good shape both mechanically and cosmetically, it is 34 years old and is not a show car. It is a great driver. The new owner will be happy with his or her new car. This Ranchero also comes with the original owners manual, and a car cover. Now for the boring, yet necessary part. This Ranchero is being sold as is/where is. If you want to fly in and drive it home, I can pick you up from the nearest airport (Ontario, Ca). If you want to have it transported, I will help out in organizing the pickup. California buyers are responsible for the registration fees (estimated around $165), as well as smog. The mileage may change slightly from test drives, etc. I will answer all questions as quickly as I can. Thanks, and good luck!On Dec-02-12 at 21:40:34 PST, seller added the following information: It was brought to my attention that this is a 351M (modified) engine rather then a Windsor due to the valve covers. Thanks for the information!
