1977 Ranchero GT Low RESERVE We've been looking for a clean Ranchero from this era for a few yrs now and this is the best we could find that wasnt outrageous in price. This car/truck whats you like to call is, has a DSO Of Phx , originally sold here in AZ and has never left. Its about the most rust free Ranchero GT out there for sale especially with a super low reserve on the market. GREAT original color combo Silver / with GT stripe in black (now gone) with a black and grey interior from the factory. I see NO signs of bondo under the paint anywhere leading me to think this paint could be original. It does has some dents but nothing that couldnt be fixed in a few days. Shows on the odometer which could be original. The car was a daily driver up till about 2006 which it was then parked and it sat for the last 10 yrs in a Az backyard. There the paint just got more baked and interior got sun damaged. Even worse a family of pack rats started living inside the car for sometime. They didnt do any noticeable damage, but they did leave the interior carpet stained and it smells. FIRST THING THIS CAR NEEDS IS GUT THE INTERIOR, CLEAN THE FLOORS AND AT VERY LEAST NEW CARPET, PADDING AND ID RECOVER THE FRONT BENCH SEAT TOO. THAT AND A NEW HEADLINER and the interior could be decent. The car starts, runs and drives but doesnt seem to want to idle like it should. Not sure if it needs a carb rebuild, tune up or maybe some vacuum lines fixed. Driving it around under throttle it feels okay and the brakes feel normal too. DRIVETRAIN: original 302 V8 w/ auto trans sound good with no weird knocks and no smoking. Trans shifts like it should too. 9" in the rear looks fine too. Pop the hood and it looks just about like it did in 1977, nice stock, original and un molested other then the nice polished finned aluminum Ford Racing valve covers. AC all intact and may be functional with a little work. The 5.0 engine is great for power and gas mileage too. INTERIOR: sat in the Az sun and heat for many yrs and as mentioned earlier, bad smell from pack rats, it Looks nicer then it really is in person. But the work it needs could be done in a weekend. The GT pkg came with a factory Tach and gauge pkg. Ive seen these cars done with some buckets and custom made center consoles and they look awesome. Or just keep it OE and you cant go wrong. Windows work fine , original radio I think works, but the speaker is toast. Grant sw looks okay in the car, and the glove box door latch not working. Inside the bed and youd be impressed by how clean it is under the shell for a truck this old. The shell is fiberglass and aftermarket and just okay, functional but Ive seen nicer units. WIndows work well and all the glass looks good. See pics for better idea of what to expect. EXTERIOR: dull silver paint which I think is original, the GT stripe gone, dents on RF fender, dr door and one by rr taillight, rest of the body is very dent free and totally rust FREE !! The bumpers are in very nice shape and the chrome on them great, as is most of stainless side trim around the doors etc. Factory sport mirrors correct, and in my opinion this body style is the sharpest designs to come out of Detroit in the 70s. Its a classic design yet to be copied. SUSPENSION: this area seems pretty much stock and original still with it looks like shocks have been replaced over the yrs, but not sure what all other bushings and stuff has been replaced. No weird clunks or noises which is always a good sign. Factory front disc brakes up front of course. The car will come on the factory 14x7 Magnums but the tires are old and need replacing soon. Youll see a few pics of the car with some 19" Wheels on it. These Rims are NEW staggered 19" Zora alloys with some used tires mounted on them. This rim & tire pkg is OPTIONAL to the winner if they choose for an extra $750. (the rims alone which again are new, cost almost $800 by themselves) But if you are possibly going for a Resto Mod look, they look amazing and fit very well on the car. This car is 95% rust free Arizona car / Its not a restored car but its more like a Survivor or sorts and would be a great car to restore and keep as a daily drve This is still a Muscle car that would be great to restore seeing that its survived this long thanks to the AZ desert. These cars rarely even come up for sale anymore Check out ALL the pics below -----> it may take a full minute for them all to load if you have a slow connection, so be patient AND looks for the extra schroll bar on the right side. Az gets maybe 12" a yr of rain and Az very dry climate. more info AFTER the pics etc. There are 100 large pics.
