Vehicle Description
Welcome to Street Dreams as we celebrate our 23rd year in the
classic and muscle car business. Ford's Ranchero was the first
postwar coupe utility vehicle produced by a major American
manufacturer when it was released for 1957. Ford of Australia is
credited with being the first to mate an automobile chassis with a
practical load bed in 1934, creating what they lovingly refer to as
the ute. Unlike the 1st generation Ranchero, which was based on
their full-sized platform, the 2nd generation (1960-1965) Ranchero
was based on the popular Falcon compact and sold well enough to
knock Chevy's similar El Camino out of the market for several
years. Our Poppy Red 1963 Falcon Ranchero is a fun example of the
breed and ably demonstrates why these classics remain so popular.
Pop the hood and you'll find a stout 289 V8 that's been fortified
with a Howards Cams Rattler camshaft and a Holley 4bbl carburetor.
Additional features include a 4-speed manual transmission with
T-handle shifter, dual exhaust, an aluminum radiator, and Magnum
500 wheels wrapped in shaved red line tires (195/70R14 F, 205/70R14
R). This little trucklet runs well and is an absolute blast to
drive around town, though the gearing might be a bit steep for
extended highway cruises. If this pint-sized yet practical classic
floats your boat, call the team that can make your dream a reality.
