Vehicle Description
1963 Ford Ranchero Pickup
Why This Car Is Special
The Ranchero was introduced for the 1957 model year and ran until
1979. Our fully restored, modified, and beautiful 1963 Ford
Ranchero we have here at Skyway Classics, represents a
revolutionary half-car, half-truck configuration that made it easy
to climb in and drive while standing by ready, willing and able to
haul burdens as needed.
When it was introduced, the Ranchero broke quite a few automotive
industry rules. Built off of an automobile assembly line yet sold
via Ford's truck division, it was a definite hit with both the
automotive press and the American buying public.
Ours look sharp both inside and out and is armed with a Ford small
block 260 cubic inch V8 engine under its hood that runs and looks
great. This is a 1 of 135 car - very rare!
