Vehicle Description
Fresh rebuilt 351W, runs and drives great. Overall nice and clean,
only thing missing is a set of bull horns on the front to show you
mean business. If you are looking for a Ranchero, this 500 GT is
the one! Reasonable offers always considered, and we can help with
financing and shipping.An industry buzzword in the mid-1970s was
"downsizing", so the Ranchero was restyled and trimmed down. The
Torino that it was based on was replaced in 1977 by the LTD II,
which was slightly smaller and lighter. The new design yielded a
more squared off and cohesive look than the previous generation
from 1972-76 that had "coke-bottle" body contours that accentuated
its size. Things also happened in threes for the Ford Ranchero in
1977. There were three V-8s available, all with two-barrel
carburetion. These were the 302 with the 351M and 400 optional.
There were also thee trim levels available. The standard Ranchero
500, the luxury-themed and simulated woodgrain trimmed Ranchero
Squire, and the sporty Ranchero GT made up the Ranchero range. 1977
was also the era of a growth in the interest in trucks more as
personalized vehicles over utilitarian workhorses. As such, Ford
offered a number of Free Wheelin' packages for the Ranchero.
