1967 Ford Ranchero 289 Factory Original Engine
Car History
The Ford Ranchero was a light duty car-based pickup truck that was
produced from 1957 to 1979. The birth of the modern car-pickup
combination was born and even spawned its GM competitor, the El
Camino.
We have a great restoration of a 1967 Ford Ranchero here at
Adventure Classics that has been restored inside, outside, and
underneath, and is in excellent condition.
Engine & Drivetrain
Under the hood rests what the owner says is the original 289 cubic
inch V8 engine that was the same unit that was available in the
Mustang, so when matched with a performance carburetor, has plenty
of power to keep the dual exhaust making the proper throaty
sounds.
The engine looks great too with its factory Ford correct blue paint
on the engine and intake, chrome valve covers with the 289 decals
on them, improved distributor and spark plug wires, factory cast
iron exhaust manifolds, chrome open element air cleaner sporting
the 289 High Performance decal on it too, and all sitting in a very
clean, painted, and detailed engine compartment.
The optional three-speed automatic transmission is flexible enough
that you can take this car everywhere from around town, to long
trips down the highway. This same easy cruising attitude goes for
the power brakes.
Interior
The interior is all new with its two-tone orange and cream colored
split-bench seat with matching side door panels, factory black dash
with the correct gauges it came from the factory with, modern
AM/FM, black and silver three spoke steering wheel, and black
carpeting.
There is also ample storage space behind the seat that is a nice
perk on a Ranchero. The interior is looks both great and is
comfortable enough to drive all day.
Exterior
The exterior has been repainted in a great shade of all new base
coat clear coat orange that is offset by black full body length
stripes and a black racing stripe up the hood with the black
Mustang type hood scoop.
The undercarriage all painted and clean, with new rear shocks, a
great dual exhaust, and complete with new Cooper Cobra Radial GT
raised white letter tires on factory black 5-spoke Rally
wheels.
This Rancheros has a killer looking stance and those black wheels
with a polished lip give this Ford a muscle car look. It looks long
and low and with the rear tonno cover and the dual sport mirrors
really sets it off.
Conclusion
The 1967 Ford Ranchero we have here at Adventure Classics is a
great chance to have a completely restored example of a early
Ranchero that has the great V8 engine with good power, great looks,
and a great driver for a classic car.
