Vehicle Description
Nicely coordinated, thoughtfully built, and extremely powerful -
1959 Ford Ranchero is distinction and muscle in one terrific
vintage package.
This is the pickup with terrific style lines. It's like a square
Thunderbird with a truck bed. We love the design cues from this
model like the flat front that looks even wider thanks to the quad
headlight package. The bright work package - including the wide
bumper and full-width grille - is complete and shining. Plus, the
arched tail fins run from the door handles until they meet up with
the jet-inspired taillights. And if that wasn't enough to get you
inspired, the metallic brown paint with a bright white sandwiched
in-between has as much appeal as going to a car hop for a root beer
float. Another reason why these Rancheros stir a lot of attention
is because of rarity. This was the final year for the big Ranchero.
Ford was discontinuing them because they weren't as popular as
other models. That makes them a rare sight today with just over
14,000 examples produced (so just imagine how fewer are left six
decades later!) But more than just history, you can tell this one
is something extra special with upgrades like the LED surrounds in
the headlights, LED fog lights, and white bed liner paint. While
the American Racing Salt Flats wheels are a classic design, there
large size and huge shine hint at upgraded performance (more on
that in moment.)
Owning a cool looking cruiser means a matching interior. This white
and brown coordination includes the carpets, dash, and door panels.
The seats are particularly comfortable with nice brown cloth
inserts for where you sit, and there's also a fold-down armrest for
individualized luxury. This is even power adjustable! While you
have nice upgrades like an AM/FM/cassette stereo and auxiliary
gauges, this one never loses its classic feeling. That's because
once you slip behind the artful steering wheel and gaze at the
factory gauges, this gives the perfect vintage atmosphere.
When you look under the hood of a full-sized Ford, you expect to
see plenty of motor, and this one doesn't disappoint. This Ranchero
came along at the beginning of the big block era, but it never
received something this wild. It's a huge 460 cubic-inch V8, and
you can instantly see that big displacement is far from the only
powerful upgrade. Roller rockers, Comp Cams camshaft, MSD
distributor, Ford Motorsport valve covers, an aluminum intake, and
a Holley Street Avenger four-barrel carburetor headline an
impressive performance package. The C6 three-speed automatic
transmission is stout enough to get all this power to the pavement.
Plus, factory features like power steering are joined by great
upgrades like the four-wheel disc brakes and modern BF Goodrich
gForce tires to give this classic some modern moves.
This Ranchero looks great, sounds great, and has tons of power. So
it's a total package classic for those who love muscle and want to
be memorable. If that's you, call today!
