Vehicle Description
Selling at Mecum Indy May 9th Lot # J260 This 4th generation
Ranchero takes its handsome good looks from Ford's Torino GT and is
more than just a pretty face. Under the hood beats a 428 Cobra-Jet
for some tire shredding fun and Big Block Flowmaster thunder. Its
sporty intermediate size, high performance engine and upgraded
suspension makes it ideal muscle. Call Jordan (612) 290-9299 with
any questions you may have. See the video: INTRO/HISTORY: Ford
produced the Ranchero from 1957-1979 and lit the fire at Chevrolet
to create the El Camino in 1959. Over the years the various style
changes made it a compact, intermediate and a full size. In 1968 it
was derived from the Fairlane/ Torino and was trim and muscular.

Jet V8 hooked up to a Streetfighter C6 automatic transmission. It

the show and you don't see many of these Rancheros especially in
this kind of condition and Big Block powered. This was one of the
best years for styling with that lovely Torino front end. Lean and
muscular it is a showstopper from every angle and is in a terrific
color combo very emblematic of the day. Blue Oval fans will crowd
around this Ranchero GT and you will enjoy cruising with that Big
Block Rumble.
