For Sale: 1979 Ford Ranchero in Mesa, Arizona

Vehicle Description

You're looking at the end of an era. But you'll love this final-year 1979 Ford Ranchero GT for more than its history. With a solid presentation, and all the right investments (right down to enhanced V8 power and a cold A/C interior,) this is a head-turning classic that delivers far more than its affordable price may suggest.


Not only is this the final year for the Ranchero, but it's arguably the best generation. Ford's LTD wanted to be both premium and sporty, and that design translates well into this pickup/coupe. Its Continental-inspired marker lights, bold red stripe package, and flared fenders make this look like a true GT machine. Plus, investments in new mirror-like bumpers, a coordinating liner paint in the truck bed, and new 18-inch US Mags blacked-out alloys heighten the sporty appeal of this classic. So be prepared for all eyes to be on you.


More than just look good, there was a serious investment inside to keep you comfortable. The interior was replaced about 3,600 miles ago, and now just like the exterior, it strikes a perfect balance between premium and sporty. It starts with a split cloth bench with fold-down armrests for individual comfort. The driver's one is even power adjustable. Plus, there are other luxuries like power windows, AM/FM/CD stereo (the original 8-track also comes with the sale,) and ice-cold air conditioning. But from the moment you slip behind the wheel, and see the full gauge package in the machine-turned aluminum panel, you instantly know this classic is more than just a coddler.


Under the hood is Ford's famous 351 cubic-inch V8. And the wings on the custom air topper are a great reminder that this is one of the best motors for upgrading. Besides the topper, this one has extra style with the Cobra valve covers. And there's extra substance with performance upgrades like the Edelbrock four-barrel carburetor and Edelbrock Performer intake. This gives the dual exhaust a throaty rumble, which is exactly what you want in a vehicle with GT in its stripes. But more than just a great V8 presence, this is a great cruiser because the V8 was rebuilt around 3,600 miles ago. Plus, there's also with a three-speed automatic transmission, LTD sedan-style ride, power steering, and front disc brakes. You even have a new set of Nitto NTSS Extreme tires for the best in modern grip.


The sale comes with all the right features, including a car cover and shop manual CD. It's a final-year Ranchero with a great presence and a ton of features. So when it's all available for such an affordable price, you know you need to hurry to grab this deal. Call today!!!
