1979 FORD RANCHERO GT - Burgundy and Gold - excellent driver condition. The paint has a deep shine - the previous owner said this vehicle had a recent $8,000 paint job. Since buying this vehicle in June 2015 for $12,900, I've put another $4,000 in it - which resulted in the following improvements: Had all four tires replaced with new Dunlop raised letter sport tires - less them 500 miles on them; Purchased red Ford center caps and installed for all four wheels; Bought a rim and new spare tire and jack as the vehicle was missing these items; Had the fuel sending unit replaced; Had the sport mirror adjusting knobs connected - so they adjust remotely; Had the shock absorbers replaced; Replaced the voltage regulator and alternator with a chrome single wire 110 amp alternator; Replaced the ammeter with a digital volt meter; Replaced the non-working temperature gauge in the instrument panel - but it's not hooked up as prior to that I installed a below dash temperature gauge - which is lighted and readable in low light; Purchased a carpeted dash mat; Inserted a battery operated analog clock in the insert where the non-working dash clock sits; Replaced the windshield washer pump; Replaced the starter solenoid and fuseable link; Installed a new battery, new battery cables, and battery cut-off switch; Replaced the steering wheel; Replaced the turn signal switch and front turn signal sockets; Purchased and had two rear bumper guards installed; Purchased and installed four stainless steel tie downs for the bed; Purchased and replaced some interior trim which was scratched and missing air vent vanes; Installed LED lights so the courtesy lights come on when a door is open - the red spot on the floor of the driver's side in the one of the pictures is the beam of a red LED courtesy light; Spent over $2,000 replacing critical air conditioner components (condenser, evaporator, dryer, belts & hoses) so that it blows cold now (R-134); Installed a new fan and air conditioner shroud; and Installed a new power steering pump. Installed a mirror with backup camera, GPS, and dash camera capabilities. Cruise the boulevard in air conditioned comfort, while listening to the 8 Track, in this beautiful Ranchero, It qualifies for antique vehicle registration in Virginia, eliminating annual registration and vehicle inspection. If properly cared for - it should appreciate in value. As the Ranchero is listed for sale locally - the auction may end early if a local sale is transacted.
