Take a look at this BEAUTIFUL !! - VERY RARE - SURVIVOR 1979 Ford
Ranchero GT Pickup !! It is VERY RARE as only 12,159 Ranchero GT
Pickups were built in 1979, the LAST and BEST year of the 7th
generation Ranchero !! We recently purchased this Ranchero from the
previous older Montana owner and as you can tell in the pictures
and video it was their pride and joy !! It still retains it's
correctly mounted - FACTORY ORIGINAL Ford dash mounted VIN tag and
it's - FACTORY ORIGINAL driver's door jamb mounted data sticker,
both of which are shown in several pictures. I drove this pickup
for the last several weeks as my daily driver and I assure you it
runs and drives VERY WELL !! It is a sweet driver in town and
cruises down the freeway easily and smoothly. If you can make it to
Boise please come take a look at and drive this BEAUTY for
yourself, you won't be disappointed. This is a QUALITY "COWBOY
CADILLAC" THAT IS READY TO DRIVE, SHOW AND ENJOY !!
At the heart of this Ranchero is what appears to be the VERY STRONG
- FACTORY ORIGINAL - 351 CID V8 motor that is running VERY well.
The motor also sports the ORIGINAL intake manifold, ORIGINAL
exhaust manifolds, Edelbrock Chrome valve covers, Motorcraft
carburetor with electric choke and a Chrome air cleaner housing,
etc. Sounds GREAT too with the THROATY true dual side exit exhaust
system with dual chrome tips. The engine is backed by a SMOOTH -
REBUILT - C6 Three speed automatic transmission that also functions
very well. The BEAUTIFUL - Red, White and Tan Cloth and Vinyl
interior is in NICE condition including a NICE Tan Cloth and Vinyl
"Bucket Bench" seat with folding center armrest and dual headrests,
VERY NICE NEW Dark Red carpets, Good ORIGINAL White Vinyl door
panels that are showing some wear, Good ORIGINAL Factory gauge
clusters, NICE ORIGINAL Ranchero steering wheel, Good ORIGINAL
White Vinyl headliner, NICE ORIGINAL White Vinyl sun visors and a
NICE ORIGINAL Red Vinyl dash pad with 2 large cracks near the
center. All of the ORIGINAL black rubber weatherstripping is still
soft, supple and in good condition for being original. The
BEAUTIFUL - Code "97R" - Bright Red and Alpine White exterior
finish is EYE POPPING BEAUTIFUL !! showing several small chips and
imperfections that have been touched up but still looks STUNNING as
you can clearly see in the VIDEO & 100+ ADDITIONAL PICTURES !! This
Ranchero comes nicely equipped including factory power steering,
factory power brakes with discs up front, factory power wipers,
working factory cruise control, factory seat belts, factory tilt
steering column, original clock which is no longer working, good
heater and defroster, awesome Alpine AM / FM / Cassette player
stereo radio, original day / night rear view mirror, original dual
remote side view exterior mirrors, factory gauge clusters with
tachometer and 85 MPH speedometer, factory trip odometer and
factory back up lights. This Ranchero GT has GREAT looks and
AWESOME 351 V8 power as well... what's not to like
?!
The suspension and drive line seem to be in good working order as
well as the electrical system. Check out the AWESOME - Vision
Legend "Type 141" Gunmetal wheels wrapped in BRAND NEW white
lettered steel belted radial tires, they look OUTSTANDING on this
Ranchero and really give it that CLEAN "Custom" - look !! (The
front tires are 225/70R15 and the rears are 275/60R15.) All of the
ORIGINAL Chrome and Electroplated Aluminum exterior body trim and
moldings are in NICE condition including a NICE ORIGINAL Chrome
front bumper with some small scratches, Good ORIGINAL Chrome rear
bumper with some scratches, dings and plating imperfections, VERY
NICE ORIGINAL Badging and a NICE ORIGINAL Black and Chrome front
grill and Chrome headlight surrounds. The CLEAN - STRAIGHT bed is
also in great condition and sports a fold-down rear tailgate. All
of the ORIGINAL light lenses and reflectors are also clear, bright
and BEAUTIFUL !! I looked underneath and also included photos
below, again this is a NICE - DRY - SOLID - Montana - Idaho High
Mountain Desert - western truck and it shows !! In my opinion,
you're not going to find much nicer ORIGINAL floors than the one's
on this BEAUTY !! Please pay close attention to the VIDEO & THE
100+ ADDITIONAL PICTURES and this description as they will answer
your questions. If you need to speak to me my name is Kris and my
