HERE IS A VERY NICE 1968 FORD RANCHERO GT. RARE "C" CODE 289 V8 GT FOR 1968, AUTOMATIC C-4 AND 9" REAR END ORIGINAL AUCAPULCO BLUE AND BLACK INTERIOR. THE WINDSHIELD IS IN GOOD CONDITION WITH NO CRACKS AS IS THE REST OF THE GLASS. THE RANCHERO NOW HAS A 1966 289 V8 MOTOR CASTING #C5AE 6015E DATE 6H15 W/C60E EXHAUST MANIFOLDS, AND C80E-9425 4 BBL INTAKE MANIFOLD AND HOLLEY 4BBL MATCHING C-4 3 SPEED AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION CASTING #C6AP 9" REAR END CASTING # FOMOCO C70W 4025A ORIGINAL TAG ON REAR : WDY A1 3:OO 88A 852 THE MOTOR AND TRANSMISSION WERE REBUILTAND INSTALLED IN 1995 AND DRIVEN BY THE PREVIOUS OWNER UNTIL 2005. THE CAR SAT UNTIL 2009. THE GAS TANK WAS SHOT. I CHANGED THE OIL, PUT FRESH SPARK PLUGS IN ,NEW BATTERY, NEW FUEL PUMP, NEW FUEL FILTER, AND RUN FRESH GAS OUT OF REMOTE GAS CAN AND SHAZAMM. THIS RANCHERO RUNS GREAT THROUGH FULL DUAL H-PIPE EXHAUST TO THE REAR. SOUNDS AWESOME. SMOOTH AND QUIET. I ALSO INSTALLED 2 NEW TURBO MUFFLERS. THE RANCHERO WILL NEED A NEW GAS TANK, AND THE ORIGINAL HOLLEY CARBURATOR WILL NEED REBUILT, AS IT IS STILL RUNNING TOO RICH. TRANSMISSION WORKS GOOD AND BRAKES ALSO. STEERING IS TIGHT. HAS AIRSHOCKS ON REAR ORIGINAL WHEELS WITH THE "GT: CENTER CAPS AND TRIM RINGS. BOTH DOORS WERE REPLACED FROM A 1968 FAIRLANE 500 RANCHERO, AND HAVE THE ORIGINAL DOOR PANELS, THAT I WAS GOING TO PAINT BLACK TO MATCH INTERIOR. THE INTERIOR DASH AND SEATS ARE NICE FOR THIS AGE. GAUGES WORK AND ORIGINAL RADIO SOUNDS GREAT. THE BODY, FLOORS, FRAME, MOTOR COMPARTMENT, BED, ETC..... ARE VERY NICE AND CLEAN. THIS RANCHERO GT HAS BEEN WELL PRESERVED. THE RANCHERO WILL HAVE TO BE TOWED OR TRAILERED AS STATED IT NEEDS A GAS TANK AND CARB TO DRIVE ANY DISTANCE UNDER 5 FEEDBACK OR NEGATIVE FEEDBACK MUST CONTACT ME BEFORE BIDDING OR I WILL CANCEL BIDS. PLEASE ASK QUESTIONS AND SEE IN PERSON IF POSSIBLE. THIS WILL MAKE SOMEONE AN EXCELLENT STREET MACHINE, UTILITY VEHICLE. CLEAR TITLE.On Aug-02-10 at 08:58:35 PDT, seller added the following information: THIS RANCHERO GT HAS POWER STEERING AND POWER BRAKES. ALSO INCLUDED ARE A NICE SET OF 4 15" ALUMINUM RIMS THAT COMPLEMENT THE LOOKS OF THE RANCHERO, I PURCHASED THESE TO PRESERVE THE ORIGINAL GT RIMS. THE RANCHERO HAS BEEN REPAINTED 5 TIMES IN IT'S 40 YEARS THAT I COUNTED WHILE SANDING THE BODY PANELS SMOOTH FOR REPAINTING. EXPLAINS THE GOOD CONDITION. I APPLIED THE 2K URETHANE PRIMER SURFACER, BUT THATS AS FAR AS I GOT WITH IT.
