Very cute, clean 1960 Ranchero. This whole car is a fresh build and guaranteed to bring smiles. Runs great with a 170 cubic inch inline 6 from a 1963 Falcon, acompanied by a 3 speed manual transmission with a Hurst "Indy shifter". The motor and front suspension have been thoroughly gone through, new Fisk whitewall tires, new clutch, newly upholstered seats, new carpet kit, and much more. This car drives amazing and can be driven comfortably all day. There is absolutely no slop in the steering box or front suspension. The suspension has all been lowered about 3", but it still rides like a stock Ranchero, it doesn't bounce around like many other lowered cars. The body is very straight and rust free, aside from two patch panels, one on each floorboard of the car in the foot-well area on either side. Both patches are about 1' x 1' in size. The car isn't perfect, but it is very fun and shows very well. Overall, this car is extremely reliable, and can be driven anywhere. Easy to work on, easy to find parts for, cheap and very cool custom car with tons of new parts, fresh motor, and new paint. Drivetrain and motor: The previous owner had it rebuilt, and she runs like a top. Starts immediately on cold and hot days. Motor never gets above 180 degrees, and gets very good gas mileage. New fuel pump, Pertronix ignition, blaster coil, remanufactured carburetor, new alternator and a new .aluminum radiator. Motor doesn't tick, leak or smoke. The motor and transmission are both from a donor 1963 Falcon. Clutch is new and doesn't chatter or slip. The transmission works perfectly, no grinding, and shifts very well with the new Hurst "Indy Shifter". Tires are "Fisk Classics" with a 1" whitewall. Everything has approximately 500 miles in overall use. Upholstery: A very classy look, with a new carpet kit, reupholstered bucket seats, detailed dash, chrome Hurst shifter, JVC brand, CD-MP3-AM-FM stereo with two 6" Kicker 2-way speakers in the door panels. The interior shows well, but there is an empty space in the dash where the original AM radio used to be, along with 5 small holes where the factory heater control and vent control knobs used to be, however it is a great spot for new toggle switches to go. The dash paint looks very nice and is satin black. There has been body work done to the doors to get rid of the door glass and it looks very good, a nice custom touch. The door panels and bed are decked out with Alder wood, that has been stained and treated with urethane. All lights work. Doors, hood, and tailgate open and close great.
