First year of the smaller Ranchero built on the Falcon chassis.
They are handsome vehicles not seen very often. This one has what
they call the "Grenada conversion". The upgraded driveline from a
Ford Grenada fits without significant modifications. This is a
clean car, solid metal. The owner spent $15,000 on miscellaneous
improvements while he owned it.
EXTERIOR: It appears to have a very clean dry body. It is straight.
It has been professionally repainted. Not a high-end job but it
presents itself very nicely. The bumpers have both been rechromed.
The grill is in good shape. The emblems, door handles, taillights
and chrome trim around the bed opening is restored. New windshield
and gasket. 16 inch Boyd wheels really dress it up.
INTERIOR: Nice looking interior. The seats and door panels are
reupholstered and match each other. The instrument panel is very
clean, the knobs have been replaced. It has a tachometer mounted on
the column. The shifter is moved to the floor. New seat belts. The
battery is relocated behind the seat, has a billet hold down and a
disconnect switch. Dome light works.
ENGINE COMPARTMENT: Upgraded with a 302 motor and it has an
aluminum intake with a Holley carburetor, PerTronix ignition and
Flame Thrower coil. It's dressed up with Ford racing valve covers,
plug wires are neatly run with a billet holder. The front of the
motor has a polished aluminum one wire alternator, aluminum pulleys
and brackets. Rebuilt radiator with electric fan, replaced hoses,
water pump, cap and clamps. Replaced power brake booster. Clean
metal engine bay and it has custom filler panels by the support
bar.
TRUNK COMPARTMENT: New Show Deck floor. New wood trim with layer
upon layer of polished varnish. Polished stainless strips and
bolts. The sidewalls have been sprayed with a durable bedliner.
UNDERSIDE: Upfront it has new control arms, ball joints, swaybar,
rack & pinion steering. Upgraded with front disc brakes, e-brake
assembly is hooked up. Looking up at the motor it is very clean,
starter looks fresh. Rebuilt C-4 automatic trans. The floors and
frame rails are rock solid original metal. I don't think they have
ever even been spray painted over.
I, Jay Grams, take pride in personally writing the descriptions for
virtually every car for about the last 30 years now. A significant
amount of effort goes into fact checking. What I am offering is my
professional impression of the vehicle. Our salesmen are happy to
assist with descriptions and making sure your questions are
answered. One great suggestion is letting us do a walk around video
that explains the car's condition in detail. **These cars are
displayed in a museum. If interested in a particular car make an
appointment with a salesman to see that car. Without an appointment
there is an admission fee to enter the showroom. If you buy a car,
your admission will be refunded and you will be given a 1 year
membership.
