Vehicle Description
In 1960, the Ranchero became much smaller, based on Ford's compact
Falcon, specifically the two-door sedan delivery variant. The
popularity of small, economical cars like the Volkswagen Beetle
perpetuated a shift in thinking among the three largest American
manufacturers; 1959 had the introduction of the 1960 Falcon along
with the 1960 Chevrolet Corvair and Plymouth Valiant. A pickup
version of the Volkswagen Bus and a van based on the Chevrolet
Corvair were offered, as well. The economic recession of the late
1950s also certainly played a role. Ford believed the market wanted
a more practical vehicle, one much smaller, lighter, and cheaper
than a full-sized pickup truck, and indeed the Ranchero sold well
in this incarnation.
GR Auto Gallery is pleased to present this 1965 Ford Falcon
Ranchero for consideration. This little sporty Ranchero is
currently in the hands of the second owner who purchased it back in
the mid 70's from the original owner that was located in
California. It received some restoration work over the years which
included a new paint job in 1995 and a new 302 motor put in in the
late 80's. As mentioned, this vehicle is powered by a 302 cubic
inch V8 motor that turns over and runs silky smooth, it is paired
with a 4-speed manual transmission which also seems to be free of
any issues. This car is itching for someone to put in a bit of
elbow grease and take this vehicle to the next level, or just
cruise around the town as it sits. You will be destined to have a
great ride in this Falcon Ranchero, please call or email us today
for more information.
